Dosage and Administration

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Pretreat with a single 1,000 mg dose of obinutuzumab intravenously 7 days before initiation of COLUMVI (Cycle 1 Day 1). ( 2.2 ) Administer premedications as recommended. ( 2.3 ) Administer only as an intravenous infusion. ( 2.1 ) Recommended dosage ( 2.2 ): Treatment Cycle Cycle = 21 days Day Dose of COLUMVI Day 1 Obinutuzumab 1,000 mg Cycle 1 Day 8 Step-up dose 1 2.5 mg Day 15 Step-up dose 2 10 mg Cycle 2 to 12 Day 1 30 mg Administer in a facility equipped to monitor and manage CRS. ( 2.1 , 2.2 ) Patients should be hospitalized for the 2.5 mg step-up dose and for subsequent infusions as recommended. ( 2.1 , 2.2 ) See Full Prescribing Information for instructions on preparation and administration. ( 2.5 , 2.6 , 2.7 ) 2.1 Important Dosing Information Administer only as an intravenous infusion through a dedicated infusion line that includes a sterile 0.2-micron in-line filter. Administer COLUMVI diluted solution via intravenous bag infusion. The 2.5 mg dose may alternatively be administered via intravenous syringe infusion [see Dosage and Administration (2.5 , 2.6 , 2.7 )] . COLUMVI should only be administered by a healthcare professional with immediate access to appropriate medical support, including supportive medications to manage severe CRS [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . Ensure adequate hydration before administering COLUMVI. Premedicate before each dose [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . Following pretreatment with obinutuzumab, administer COLUMVI according to the step-up dosing schedule in Table 1 with appropriate premedication, including dexamethasone, to reduce the incidence and severity of CRS [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . Due to the risk of CRS, patients should be hospitalized during and for 24 hours after completion of infusion of step-up dose 1 (2.5 mg on Cycle 1 Day 8) [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Patients who experienced any grade CRS during step-up dose 1 should be hospitalized during and for 24 hours after completion of step-up dose 2 (10 mg on Cycle 1 Day 15). CRS with step-up dose 2 can occur in patients who did not experience CRS with step-up dose 1 [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . For subsequent doses, patients who experienced Grade ≥ 2 CRS with their previous infusion should be hospitalized during and for 24 hours after the completion of the next COLUMVI infusion. 2.2 Recommended Dosage Pretreatment with Obinutuzumab Pretreat all patients with a single 1,000 mg dose of obinutuzumab administered as an intravenous infusion on Cycle 1 Day 1, 7 days prior to initiation of COLUMVI (see Table 1 ) to deplete the circulating and lymphoid tissue B cells. Obinutuzumab should be administered as an intravenous infusion at 50 mg/hour. The rate of infusion can be escalated in 50 mg/hour increments every 30 minutes to a maximum of 400 mg/hour. Refer to the obinutuzumab prescribing information for...

Side Effects (Adverse Reactions)

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Cytokine Release Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Neurologic Toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Serious Infections [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Tumor Flare [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] The most common (≥ 20%) adverse reactions, excluding laboratory abnormalities, are cytokine release syndrome, musculoskeletal pain, rash, and fatigue. The most common (≥ 20%) Grade 3 to 4 laboratory abnormalities are lymphocyte count decreased, phosphate decreased, neutrophil count decreased, uric acid increased, and fibrinogen decreased. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Genentech at 1-888-835-2555 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Relapsed or Refractory DLBCL, NOS or LBCL Arising from Follicular Lymphoma Study NP30179 The safety of COLUMVI was evaluated in Study NP30179, a multi-cohort, multicenter, single-arm clinical trial that included 154 adult patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) after two or more lines of systemic therapy [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . The trial required an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1, absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/µL, platelet count ≥ 75,000/µL independent of transfusion, serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) or creatinine clearance (CLcr) ≥ 50 mL/min, and hepatic transaminases ≤ 3 × ULN. The trial excluded patients with active or previous central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma or CNS disease, acute infection, recent infection requiring intravenous antibiotics, or prior allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Patients received pretreatment with a single dose of obinutuzumab on Day 1 of Cycle 1 (seven days prior to start of COLUMVI). Following premedication, COLUMVI was administered by intravenous infusion according to the step-up dosing schedule with 2.5 mg on Day 8 of Cycle 1, and 10 mg on Day 15 of Cycle 1. Patients received the 30 mg COLUMVI dose by intravenous infusion on Day 1 of subsequent cycles for a maximum of 12 cycles (including step-up dosing). Each cycle was 21 days. Patients were hospitalized during and for 24 hours following completion of at least the first step-up dose. Of the 154 patients who initiated study treatment, 145 received COLUMVI; nine patients (6%) did not receive COLUMVI due to infection, progressive disease, or patient decision. Patients received a median of 5 cycles of COLUMVI with 30% receiving all 12 cycles of COLUMVI. Of patients who received COLUMVI, the median age was 66 years (range: 21 to 90 years); 66% were male; 77% were White, 4.8% were Asian, 1.4% were Black or African American, 6% were Hispanic or Latino. The main diagnoses were DLBCL, NOS and LBCL arising from follicular lymphoma. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 48% of patients who received COLUMVI. Serious adverse reactions in ≥ 2% of patients included CRS, COVID-19 infection, sepsis, and tumor flare. Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 5% of patients from COVID-19 infection (3.4%), sepsis (1.4%), and delirium (0.6%). Adverse reactions led to permanent discontinuation of COLUMVI in 7% of patients, including from infection, delirium, neutropenia, and CRS. Adverse reactions led to dose interruptions of COLUMVI in 19% of patients, most frequently (≥ 2%) from neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. The most common (≥ 20%) adverse reactions, excluding laboratory terms, were CRS, musculoskeletal pain, rash, and fatigue. The most common Grade 3 to 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥ 20%) were lymphocyte count decreased, phosphate decreased, neutrophil count decreased, uric acid...

Drug Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS For certain CYP substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions, monitor for toxicities or drug concentrations of such CYP substrates when coadministered with COLUMVI. Glofitamab-gxbm causes the release of cytokines [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] that may suppress the activity of CYP enzymes, resulting in increased exposure of CYP substrates. Increased exposure of CYP substrates is more likely to occur after the first dose of COLUMVI on Cycle 1 Day 8 and up to 14 days after the first 30 mg dose on Cycle 2 Day 1 and during and after CRS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] .

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on its mechanism of action COLUMVI may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . There are no available data on the use of COLUMVI in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk. No animal reproductive and developmental toxicity studies have been conducted with glofitamab-gxbm. Glofitamab-gxbm causes T-cell activation and cytokine release; immune activation may compromise pregnancy maintenance. In addition, based on expression of CD20 on B cells and the finding of B-cell depletion in non-pregnant animals, glofitamab-gxbm can cause B-cell lymphocytopenia in infants exposed to glofitamab-gxbm in-utero. Human immunoglobulin G (IgG) is known to cross the placenta; therefore, COLUMVI has the potential to be transmitted from the mother to the developing fetus. Advise women of the potential risk to the 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.
