Teclistamab (Tecvayli) is given as a subcutaneous injection — meaning it's injected into the fatty tissue just under the skin, rather than into a vein. As for frequency, the dosing schedule typically starts with step-up doses (to help reduce the risk of reactions), then moves to weekly dosing, and may eventually shift to less frequent dosing over time.
