WARNING: CYTOKINE RELEASE SYNDROME
See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning.

Cytokine release syndrome (CRS), including serious or life-threatening reactions, can occur in patients receiving LUNSUMIO. Initiate treatment with the LUNSUMIO step-up dosing schedule to reduce the risk of CRS. Withhold LUNSUMIO until CRS resolves or permanently discontinue based on severity. (2.1, 2.4, 5.1)

SAFETY INFORMATION

Study Design

Phase 2 Trial of LUNSUMIO (mosunetuzumab-axgb) for Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Follicular Lymphoma (R/R FL) after ≥2 prior lines of therapy1,2

  • Open-label, multicenter, multicohort study
  • LUNSUMIO is administered as a fixed-duration treatment with Cycle 1 step-up dosing to mitigate the risk of cytokine release syndrome (CRS)2
  • There was no mandatory hospitalization for treatment initiation2,a
  • Efficacy was established on the basis of objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DoR) as assessed by an independent review facility (IRF) according to standard criteria for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL)1,3,b

Eligibility Criteria and Endpoints

FL Cohort Key Eligibility Criteria2

  • FL (Grades 1-3a)
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) 0-1
  • ≥2 prior regimens, including:
    • ≥1 anti-CD20 antibody (Ab)
    • ≥1 alkylating agent

Primary Endpoint2

  • Complete response (CR, best response) rate by IRF
    • Assessed vs 14% historical control CR rate4,b

Secondary Endpoint2

  • ORR
  • DoR
  • Progression-free survival (PFS)
  • Safety and tolerability
    • The GO29781 study protocol provided guidance on the management of cytokine release syndrome (CRS), neurotoxicity, infections, cytopenias, and tumor flare

LUNSUMIO Intravenous (IV)2 (N=90)

Footnotes

Recommendations for Management of Neurologic Toxicity (Including ICANS)1

At the first sign of neurologic toxicity, including ICANS, withhold LUNSUMIO (mosunetuzumab-axgb) and consider neurology evaluation. Rule out other causes of neurologic symptoms. Provide supportive therapy, which may include intensive care.1

  • Provide supportive therapy. If ICANS, manage per current practice guidelines

Severitya,b

Grade 3

Actions

  • Withhold LUNSUMIO until neurologic toxicity symptoms improve to Grade 1 or baseline for at least 72 hoursc
  • Provide supportive therapy, which may include intensive care, and consider neurology evaluation. If ICANS, manage per current practice guidelines
  • If recurrence, permanently discontinue LUNSUMIO

Severitya,b

Grade 4
