New Protocol: Teclistamab with Daratumumab for Rel/Ref Multiple Myeloma

The study demonstrated significantly longer progression-free survival with teclistamab-daratumumab compared to DPd or DVd, with a hazard ratio of 0.17. The combination also achieved higher overall response rates and complete responses. A higher rate of infection-related deaths was observed in the teclistamab group.
