Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the gist with Tecvayli (teclistamab) and maritime pine bark. Tecvayli is a powerful immune-based therapy for multiple myeloma. It works by getting your T-cells to attack cancer cells. Maritime pine bark, on the other hand, has shown some immune-stimulating activity in lab dishes and animals. The theoretical worry is that revving up the immune system could push against a therapy that's meant to be carefully steered, so it might affect how well your treatment works.

I want to be honest about the strength of this concern: it's based only on test-tube and animal studies, and this effect has not been seen in people. So it's a flag for caution, not a reason to panic. Because Tecvayli is such a serious, closely monitored medication, please check with your oncology team before adding any supplement.
