Side Effects (Adverse Reactions)

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Cytokine Release Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Neurologic Toxicity, including Immune Effector Cell-associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Infections [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Cytopenias [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Tumor Flare [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] The most common adverse reactions (≥ 20%) are injection site reactions, fatigue, rash, CRS, COVID-19 infection, musculoskeletal pain, and diarrhea. The most common Grade 3 to 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥ 15%) are decreased lymphocyte count, decreased neutrophil count, and increased uric acid. ( 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 Follicular Lymphoma The safety of LUNSUMIO VELO was evaluated in an open-label, multicenter study which included a cohort of 94 patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) after at least two lines of systemic therapy [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Patients received step-up doses of 5 mg via subcutaneous injection on Cycle 1 Day 1 and 45 mg on Cycle 1 Day 8, followed by 45 mg on Cycle 1 Day 15, then 45 mg every 3 weeks in subsequent cycles. A treatment cycle was 21 days. The median number of cycles was 8 (range: 1 to 17), with 78% of patients exposed for at least 8 cycles and 6% exposed for 17 cycles. The median age was 65 years (range: 35 to 84 years), 56% were male, 85% were White, 2.1% were Black or African American, 11% were Asian, and 2% were Hispanic or Latino. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 39% of patients. Serious adverse reactions in ≥ 10% of patients included infection (17%, including pneumonia, other respiratory tract infections, and sepsis) and CRS (15%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 4.3% of patients from COVID-19 (3.2%) and HLH (1.1%). Permanent discontinuation LUNSUMIO VELO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 7% of patients, including from COVID-19. Dosage interruptions of LUNSUMIO VELO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 40% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in ≥ 5% of patients included COVID-19 and neutropenia. The most common adverse reactions (≥ 20%), excluding laboratory abnormalities, were injection site reactions, fatigue, rash, CRS, COVID-19 infection, musculoskeletal pain, and diarrhea. The most common Grade 3-4 laboratory abnormalities (≥ 15%) were decreased lymphocyte count, decreased neutrophil count, and increased uric acid. Grade 4 laboratory abnormalities in > 5% included lymphocyte count decreased (22%) and neutrophil count decreased (9%). Table 7 summarizes the adverse reactions. Table 7.

Drug Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Effect of LUNSUMIO VELO on CYP450 Substrates LUNSUMIO VELO causes release of cytokines [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] that may suppress activity of CYP450 enzymes, resulting in increased exposure of CYP450 substrates. Increased exposure of CYP450 substrates is more likely to occur after the first dose of LUNSUMIO VELO on Cycle 1 Day 1 and up to 14 days after the 45 mg dose on Cycle 1 Day 8 and during and after CRS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Monitor for toxicity or concentrations of drugs that are CYP450 substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions. Consult the concomitant CYP450 substrate drug prescribing information for recommended dosage modification.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on the mechanism of action, LUNSUMIO VELO may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . There are no available data on the use of LUNSUMIO VELO in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk. No animal reproductive or developmental toxicity studies have been conducted with mosunetuzumab-axgb. Mosunetuzumab-axgb 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, mosunetuzumab-axgb can cause B-cell lymphocytopenia in infants exposed to mosunetuzumab-axgb in-utero. Human immunoglobulin G (IgG) is known to cross the placenta; therefore, LUNSUMIO VELO 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% – 4% and 15% – 20%, respectively.
