Cancer Centre. For Cohort 3, participants must agree to receive treatment at Stronach
Regional Cancer Centre.
3. Must sign the informed consent form (or their legally acceptable representative must
sign) indicating that the participant understands the purpose of, and procedures
required for the study and is willing to participate in the study. Consent is to be
obtained prior to the initiation of any study-related tests or procedures that are not
part of standard of care for the patient's disease.
4. Have one or more caregivers meeting study criteria.
5. Have clinical laboratory values meeting study criteria.
6. Rockwood Clinical Frailty Scale
7. A woman of childbearing potential must have a negative highly-sensitive serum
pregnancy test at screening and must agree to:
1. Practicing true abstinence; or. 2. Have a sole partner who is vasectomized; or. 3. Practicing ≥1 highly-effective, user-independent method of contraception.
8. A woman must agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) or freeze for future use, for the
purposes of assisted reproduction during the study. Upon study end, female
participants must agree to continue with product monograph guidelines with ongoing
teclistamab off-study.
9. A man must wear a condom (with or without spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository)
when engaging in any activity that allows for passage of ejaculate to another person
during the study, and thereafter to continue with product monograph guidelines. If a
female partner is of childbearing potential, she must also be practicing a highly
effective method of contraception.
10. A male participant must agree not to donate sperm for the purpose of reproduction
during the study, and thereafter to follow product monograph guidelines with ongoing
teclistamab off-study.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Contraindications or life-threatening allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to
any study drug or its excipients.
2. Prior or concurrent exposure to any of the following:
1. Teclistamab or any anti-BCMA therapy. 2. Other myeloma therapy (standard of care or investigational) including
corticosteroids, within 3 days of first step-up dose of teclistamab. 3. Toxicities from previous anticancer therapies that have not resolved to baseline
levels or to Grade 1 or less except for alopecia or peripheral neuropathy. 4. High risk disease features including:
1. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement with myeloma. 2. Extramedullary disease (≥1 soft tissue plasmacytoma not associated with bone)
3. Circulating plasma cells (plasma cell leukemia)
4. Rapidly progressive disease, as per investigator assessment. 5. Concurrent disorders, including:
e. Light chain amyloidosis f. Second malignancy requiring active therapy, exceptions
including prostate cancer receiving androgen deprivation therapy or adequately treated
breast cancer carcinoma on anti-hormonal agents and considered to have a very low risk
of recurrence g. Underlying neurologic dysfunction (history of seizure,
Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) or Transient ischemic attack (TIA), intracranial
hemorrhage, dementia or other cognitive impairment) h. Hepatitis B infection (HBV-DNA
positive). Patients with HepBsAg (Surface antigen of Hepatitis B virus) or HepBcAb
(Hepatitis B viral protein) positive are allowed on study, only if on antiviral
prophylaxis and HBV-DNA viral load is undetectable.
i. Active infection requiring anti-infective therapy (prophylactic antibiotics are
allowed). Cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgG (Immunoglobulin G) positivity allowed, but must be
CMV PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) negative.
j. Underlying coagulopathy that may increase the risk of bleeding in the setting of
cytopenia.
6. Presence of the following cardiac conditions:
1. New York Heart Association stage III or IV congestive heart failure. 2. Myocardial infarction or coronary artery bypass graft ≤6 months prior to
randomization. 3. History of clinically significant ventricular arrhythmia or unexplained syncope,
not believed to be vasovagal in nature or due to dehydration. 4. History of severe non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. 7. Major surgery within 2 weeks prior to the start of administration of study treatment
(kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty are not considered major surgery).
8. Concurrent medical or psychiatric condition or disease that is likely to interfere
with study procedures or results, or that in the opinion of the investigator would
constitute a hazard for participating in this study, such as:
1. Uncontrolled diabetes. 2. Acute diffuse infiltrative pulmonary disease. 3. Evidence of active systemic viral, fungal, or bacterial infection, requiring
systemic antimicrobial therapy. 4. History of autoimmune disease with the exception of vitiligo, type I diabetes,
and prior autoimmune thyroiditis that is currently euthyroid based on clinical
symptoms and laboratory testing. 5. Disabling psychiatric conditions (e.g., alcohol or drug abuse), severe dementia,
or altered mental status. 6. Other comorbidities felt by treating physician to require hospitalization for
teclistamab step-up dosing, such as poorly controlled pain despite use of
narcotics, multiple concurrent comorbidities (diabetes, advanced age, cardiac
disease)
7. Any other issue that would impair the ability of the participant to receive or
tolerate the planned treatment at the investigational site, to understand
informed consent or any condition for which, in the opinion of the investigator,
participation would not be in the best interest of the participant (e.g.,
compromise the well-being) or that could prevent, limit, or confound the
protocol-specified assessments. 8. History of non-compliance with recommended medical treatments. Caregivers of multiple myeloma subjects treated with outpatient-based teclistamab (Part 2):
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Agree to be a caregiver for a participant with multiple myeloma enrolled in this study
protocol to receive outpatient teclistamab (any of Cohorts 1, 2, 3)
2. Age 18 and greater. 3. English-speaking. 4. Must sign an Informed consent form. 5. Attend mandatory orientation, equipment training, and provide transportation by car to
and from Princess Margaret Cancer Centre until two days after completion of first
three doses (at minimum 8 days to encompass step up dosing), and twice weekly to Day
27. 6. Accompany the participant through the night and during the day, with no more than
2-hour gaps during the day during which the patient is alone, to end of study (Day 27

More than one caregiver may participate to fill the required hours of accompaniment.
7. Agree to help administer home medications, buy groceries, prepare food and otherwise
support the participant. 8. Agree and capable of monitoring the participants vital signs, apply the Immune
Effector Cell Encephalopathy (ICE) score, record findings, and report to the study
team (by phone or in person)
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Not sufficiently comfortable or understanding of the use of vital sign equipment,
applying the ICE score, or other caregiver requirements, as per Investigator
discretion. 2. Unable to complete caregiver follow-up assessments at 30 and 90 days after last
