025 An Additional New Hope - Understanding GPRC5D Treatment


Listen Later

This episode introduces Talquetamab - a newly approved bispecific antibody for relapsed myeloma - explaining how it works, who it’s for, and what side effects patients should expect and prepare for.

📌Key Takeaways:

  • Talquetamab is a brand-new treatment targeting GPRC5D - offering another effective option after several previous therapies.
  • Early side effects like fever, blood pressure changes or confusion are monitored closely and are almost always reversible.
  • Taste changes, mouth soreness, skin issues and nail changes are common - but they can usually be managed so patients can stay on the treatment.
