Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Male or female participants aged =18 years at the time of informed consent. 2. Participants must be able to give signed informed consent and be willing and able to comply with all scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, lifestyle considerations, and other study procedures. 3. Participant must be able to take oral medication. 4. Prior diagnosis of MM as defined according to IMWG criteria 5. Patients must fulfil NICE criteria for teclistamab eligibility via the NHS; 5.1. Prior diagnosis of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) 5.2. Received at least three prior treatment therapies for RRMM, including an immunomodulatory agent, a proteasome inhibitor, and an anti-CD38 antibody 5.3. Documented evidence of progressive disease based on investigator’s determination of response by IMWG criteria on or after their last regimen. 6. ECOG performance status =2. 7. Adequate hepatic function characterized by the following: Total bilirubin =2 x ULN (=3 x ULN if documented Gilbert’s syndrome); AST =2.5 x ULN; and ALT =2.5 x ULN 8. Adequate renal function defined by an estimated creatinine clearance =30 mL/min (according to the Cockcroft Gault formula, by 24-hour urine collection for creatinine clearance, or according to local institutional standard method). 9. Adequate BM function characterized by the following: 9.1. ANC =1.0 × 109/L (use of granulocyte-colony stimulating factors is permitted if completed at least 7 days prior to planned start of dosing); 9.2. Platelets =25 × 109/L (transfusion support is permitted if completed at least 7 days prior to planned start of dosing); 9.3. Haemoglobin =8 g/dL (EPO and transfusion support is permitted). 10.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Previous treatment with an anti-BCMA bispecific antibody 2. Active plasma cell leukaemia 3. Amyloidosis 4. POEMS syndrome 5. Prior antitumor therapy as follows, in the specified time frame prior to the first dose of study treatment: 5.1. Targeted therapy, epigenetic therapy, or treatment with an investigational drug or an invasive investigational medical device within 21 days or at least 5 half-lives, whichever is less. 5.2. Gene-modified adoptive cell therapy (eg, CAR-modified T-cells, NK cells) within 3 months. 5.3. mAb treatment or bispecific T-cell redirector therapy for multiple myeloma within 21 days. 5.4.

Live attenuated vaccine must not be administered within 4 weeks of the first dose of study intervention. Non-live or non-replicating vaccines authorized for emergency use (eg, COVID-19) by local health authorities are allowed. 17. Participant had major surgery or had significant traumatic injury within 2 weeks prior to the start of administration of study treatment, or will not have fully recovered from surgery, or has major surgery planned during the time the participant is expected to be treated in the study or within 2 weeks after administration of the last dose of study treatment. 18. 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 19. Female patients must not be pregnant or breastfeeding; 19.1. Females of childbearing potential must be willing to use a highly effective method of contraception (hormonal birth control; abstinence). 19.2.
