Healthcare professionals must be trained to diagnose the disease as soon as the first signs appear. What's more, once the diagnosis has been made, a great deal of information needs to be assimilated by the child and his or her parents, to help them cope with the disease.

Among the latter, teclistamab, indicated as a 4<sup>th</sup>-line treatment for relapsed or refractory MM patients, targets the CD3 antigen on the surface of T lymphocytes and the BCMA antigen on the surface of malignant plasma cells. The adverse reactions to teclistamab described in the summary of product characteristics (SPC) mention hypogammaglobulinemia, leading to recurrent infections. Immunosubstitution with normal human immunoglobulin (HN-Ig) is often necessary. However, these drugs are regularly in short supply, and are subject to prioritisation recommendations. Until now, immunosubstitution in myeloma has been a \"non-priority\" indication, to be assessed according to the criteria of the French National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products (ANSM). The aim of this study was to analyse the management of hypogammaglobulinaemia in the context of teclistamab treatment in our institution over a one-year period during post-marketing authorisation (MA) early access (AP2). Patient characteristics and clinical data related to treatment with teclistamab and HN-Ig (dose, route of administration, frequency, and time to post-teclistamab initiation for HN-Ig, first infection and its type prior to immunosubstitution and its time to onset relative to teclistamab initiation) were extracted from patient records. In order to analyse compliance with the recommendations for prioritisation of HN Ig indications, blood Ig G levels were recorded (at the time of teclistamab initiation, one month later, 3 months later, and 6 months after the start of teclistamab treatment). The quantities in total grams of Ig HN consumed in hospital and aftercare as part of teclistamab treatment and in all DIS indications combined were also investigated. Among the 35 patients treated with teclistamab, 24 received HN Ig as a replacement after an average of 1 month of treatment.
