TALVEY® (talquetamab-tgvs)TALVEY - Prior and Subsequent Antimyeloma Therapy in the MonumenTAL-3 Study

Last Updated: 07/16/2026

SUMMARY  

  • Johnson & Johnson does not recommend the use of TALVEY in a manner inconsistent with the approved labeling.
  • MonumenTAL-3 is a phase 3 randomized, open-label, multicenter study comparing the efficacy of TALVEY in combination with DARZALEX FASPRO® (daratumumab hyaluronidase; Tal-D) or TALVEY in combination with DARZALEX FASPRO and pomalidomide (Tal-DP) vs DARZALEX FASPRO in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone (DPd) in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).1,2

PRODUCT LABELING

CLINICAL DATA

MonumenTAL-3 (NCT05455320) is a phase 3 randomized, open-label, multicenter study comparing the efficacy of Tal-D or Tal-DP vs DPd in patients with RRMM who have received ≥1 prior line of therapy (LOT).1,2

MonumenTAL-3 Study - Prior Antimyeloma Therapies

  • In the ITT population, patients had received 1, 2-3, and >3 prior LOTs in 38.7% (n=111), 52.3% (n=150), and 9.1% (n=26) of the TalDP arm; 36.9% (n=106), 53.3% (n=153), and 9.8% (n=28) of the TalD arm; and 39.3% (n=114), 51% (n=148), and 9.7% (n=28) of the DPd arm, respectively.1
  • The median number of prior LOTs in the ITT population was 2 (range, 1-8) in the TalDP arm, 2 (range, 1-7) in the TalD arm, and 2 (range, 1-8) in the DPd arm.1
  • Details pertaining to prior antimyeloma therapy from the MonumenTAL-3 study are summarized in Table: MonumenTAL-3 Study - Summary of Prior Antimyeloma Therapies (ITT Population).3
