Outcomes of elderly patients with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) treated with teclistamab: a multicenter study from the U.S. Multiple Myeloma Immunotherapy Consortium.
Article in Blood cancer journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Teclistamab, a BCMA-directed bispecific antibody, received regulatory approval for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) based on the MajesTEC-1 study. Despite the fact that myeloma is primarily a cancer of elderly adults, only 15% of MajesTEC-1 participants (n = 24) were ≥75 years old. In this multicenter retrospective study, we report real-world outcomes of a large cohort of older RRMM patients treated with teclistamab. Of 385 analyzed patients, 83 (22%) were in the older group (age ≥75) and 302 (78%) in the younger group (age <75). Compared to the younger group, the older group had less adverse baseline disease characteristics, including a lower incidence of high-risk cytogenetics (44.6% vs. 57.9%, p = 0.03) and extramedullary disease (22% vs. 40%, p = 0.02). There were no significant differences in rates of any-grade CRS (52% vs. 59%, p = 0.27), any-grade ICANS (19% vs. 13%, p = 0.12), and overall response rate (62% vs. 53%, p = 0.17) between the older and younger groups. In multivariable analysis, age was not significantly associated with survival outcomes. Our findings suggest that teclistamab is safe and efficacious in well-selected patients ≥75 years old, and advanced age alone should not preclude teclistamab administration.
