Key Points

  • Talquetamab treatment resulted in a stringent complete response for the patient with AL amyloidosis.
  • The treated patient experienced manageable adverse events, including dysgeusia and mild cytopenias.
  • The case demonstrates the safety of talquetamab, showing no cardiac toxicity despite the patient's cardiac involvement.
  • This highlights talquetamab's potential role in treating relapsed/refractory AL amyloidosis, warranting further investigation.

Abstract

AL amyloidosis (AL) is a rare plasma cell disorder with limited treatment options in the relapsed/refractory (R/R) setting. Talquetamab, a bispecific T-cell engager targeting GPRC5D, has demonstrated efficacy in multiple myeloma, but its use in AL has not been reported. We describe the first case of talquetamab treatment in a heavily pretreated patient with AL amyloidosis and cardiac involvement. The patient tolerated treatment well, with no cardiac toxicity, and achieved a stringent complete response with cardiac and hematologic improvement. Adverse events included dysgeusia, weight loss, and mild cytopenias, which were manageable. This case highlights the potential role of talquetamab in R/R AL, demonstrating both efficacy and safety. Further studies are needed to evaluate its broader applicability in this fragile patient population.
