RYBREVANT in Combination with Lazertinib The data described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to RYBREVANT in combination with lazertinib in the MARIPOSA study in 421 patients with previously untreated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC whose tumors have EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R substitution mutations [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] .

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on the mechanism of action and findings in animal models, RYBREVANT can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on the use of RYBREVANT in pregnant women or animal data to assess the risk of RYBREVANT in pregnancy. Disruption or depletion of EGFR in animal models resulted in impairment of embryo-fetal development including effects on placental, lung, cardiac, skin, and neural development. The absence of EGFR or MET signaling has resulted in embryo lethality, malformations, and post-natal death in animals (see Data ). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data No animal studies have been conducted to evaluate the effects of amivantamab-vmjw on reproduction and fetal development; however, based on its mechanism of action, RYBREVANT can cause fetal harm or developmental anomalies. In mice, EGFR is critically important in reproductive and developmental processes including blastocyst implantation, placental development, and embryo-fetal/postnatal survival and development. Reduction or elimination of embryo-fetal or maternal EGFR signaling can prevent implantation, can cause embryo-fetal loss during various stages of gestation (through effects on placental development) and can cause developmental anomalies and early death in surviving fetuses. Adverse developmental outcomes were observed in multiple organs in embryos/neonates of mice with disrupted EGFR signaling. Similarly, knock out of MET or its ligand HGF was embryonic lethal due to severe defects in placental development, and fetuses displayed defects in muscle development in multiple organs. Human IgG1 is known to cross the placenta; therefore, amivantamab-vmjw has the potential to be transmitted from the mother to the developing...
