Role of Step-Up Dosing
Panelists discuss how this patient was admitted after the day 1 dose of talquetamab for observation for CRS and ICANS. Patients such as this are given a 0.01-mg/kg dose on the first day, a 0.06-mg/kg dose on day 3, and a 0.04-mg/kg dose on day 5 if there are no issues. The patient is then monitored for 48 hours and is discharged before getting the 0.08-mg/kg dose.
