No additional myeloma therapies after the CART cell therapy
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,000/mm\^3 without growth factor support for 7 days for G-CSF or GM-CSF and for 14 days for pegylated GCSF prior to the laboratory test.
Platelet count ≥ 75,000/mm\^3 (without platelet transfusion or thrombopoietin receptor agonist use in the previous 7 before the laboratory test). Platelets ≥ 50,000/mm\^3 is acceptable if the counts prior lymphodepleting chemotherapy for the preceding CAR T cell therapy was < 75,000.
Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL (without red blood cell transfusion support or erythropoietin use within 7 days of the laboratory test).
Creatinine Clearance (CrCl)/estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 30 mL/min, measured by 24 hour urine assessment or estimated by CKD-EPI2021.
Oxygen saturation ≥ 92% on room air
Hepatic Function:

Serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
Serum total bilirubin ≤ 2 x ULN; except in participants with congenital bilirubinemia, such as Gilbert syndrome (in which case direct bilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN is required).
International ratio (INR) or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) < 1.5 x ULN
Cardiac Function: left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 45% by echocardiogram (ECHO) or multigated acquisition scan (MUGA).
Willing and able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements
Female patients of childbearing potential (FCBP) must:

Have a negative highly-sensitive serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) pregnancy test (<5 IU/mL) at screening and a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 24 hours before the first dose of study drug.
Practicing a highly effective, preferably user-independent method of contraception (failure rate of <1% per year when used consistently and correctly) and agrees to remain on a highly effective method while receiving study drug and until 100 days after last dose.
Agree to pregnancy testing (serum or urine) within 100 days after the last study drug administration.
Agree to use an additional contraceptive method in addition to the requirements listed above
Agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purposes of assisted reproduction during the study and for at least 100 days after the last dose of study drug.
Agree to abstain from breastfeeding from screening through at least 6 months after the last dose of talquetamab
Male patients must:

Agree to wear a condom when engaging in any activity that allows for passage of ejaculate to another person, during the study and for 100 days after the last dose of study drug. Male subjects should also be advised of the benefit for a female partner to use a highly effective method of contraception as a condom may break or leak.
Men must agree not to donate sperm for the purpose of reproduction during the study and for at least 100 days after receiving the last dose of study drug.
Must sign an ICF (or their legally acceptable representative must sign) indicating that the participant understands the purpose of, and procedures required for, the study and is willing to participate in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

Prior or concurrent exposure to any of the following in the specified time frame prior to enrollment:

Received any prior GRPRC5D-directed therapy
T-cell redirection therapy (for example, antibody therapy or BiTE's) within 3 months
Investigational vaccine other than SARS CoV-2 vaccine approved/ in use under emergency approval within 4 weeks
Live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks.

Patients with a history of acute or chronic GVHD are potentially eligible if on minimal immunosuppressants as defined previously.

Subjects with resolved infection (ie, subjects who are HBsAg negative with antibodies to total hepatitis B core antigen \[Anti-HBc\] with or without the presence of hepatitis B surface antibodies \[Anti-HBs\]) must be screened using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) measurement of HBVDNA levels. Those who are PCR positive will be excluded. EXCEPTION: Subjects with serologic findings suggestive of HBV vaccination (Anti-HBs positivity as the only serologic marker) AND a known history of prior HBV vaccination, do not need to be tested for HBV DNA by PCR. Active hepatitis C infection as measured by positive hepatitis C virus (HCV)-RNA testing. Subjects with a history of Hepatitis C virus antibody positivity must undergo HCV-RNA testing
Prior malignancies except resected basal cell carcinoma or treated carcinoma in situ. Cancer treated with curative intent less than 5 years prior to enrollment will not be allowed unless approved by the PI. Cancer treated with curative intent greater than 5 years prior to enrollment is allowed.
