RYBREVANT - Dosage and Administration - Combination with Carboplatin and Pemetrexed (PAPILLON and MARIPOSA-2 Studies)

Last Updated: 08/30/2024

SUMMARY

  • The company cannot recommend any practices, procedures or usage that deviate from the approved labeling.
  • RYBREVANT (amivantamab-vmjw) is a low fucose, fully human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1)-based bispecific antibody with immune cell-directing activity that targets epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) mutations and amplifications in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).1
  • LAZCLUZE (lazertinib) is a third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI).2
  • PAPILLON (NCT04538664) is an ongoing, phase 3, randomized, open-label study designed to compare the efficacy and safety of RYBREVANT plus chemotherapy (carboplatin and pemetrexed) vs chemotherapy alone (carboplatin and pemetrexed) in patients with untreated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC and EGFR Exon 20 insertion (Exon20ins) mutations.3,4
  • MARIPOSA-2 (NCT04988295) is an ongoing, phase 3, open-label, randomized study designed to assess the efficacy and safety of RYBREVANT-lazertinib-chemotherapy (carboplatin and pemetrexed) and RYBREVANT-chemotherapy (carboplatin and pemetrexed) vs chemotherapy alone (carboplatin and pemetrexed) in patients with EGFR-mutated (Exon 19 deletion [Exon19del] or Exon 21 L858R substitution) locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC on or after osimertinib monotherapy.5,6

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION IN THE PAPILLON AND MARIPOSA-2 STUDIES

The dosing regimen being evaluated for RYBREVANT in combination with chemotherapy (carboplatin and pemetrexed) in the ongoing phase 3 PAPILLON and MARIPOSA-2 studies is described below. Please refer to the approved labeling for the individual chemotherapy drugs for additional information regarding dosage and administration.

  • Study treatment was administered in the following order7,8:
    • On Day 1 of each cycle, pemetrexed was the first administered treatment.
    • On Day 1 of Cycles 1-4, carboplatin was administered after pemetrexed (and before RYBREVANT).
    • RYBREVANT was administered after all chemotherapy treatment.
  • The dosing regimen being evaluated for RYBREVANT in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed is as follows7,8:
    • Pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle.
    • Carboplatin AUC 5 on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, for up to 4 cycles.
    • RYBREVANT 1400 mg (1750 mg if body weight is ≥80 kg) by intravenous (IV) infusion on Cycle 1 Days 1/2, 8, and 15, and Cycle 2 Day 1, then 1750 mg (2100 mg if body weight ≥80 kg) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, starting with Cycle 3 (Table: Infusion Rates for RYBREVANT Administration Every 3 Weeks).

aThe first dose of Cycle 1 is split to be administered over two days. Start day is the 1st day and consecutive day is the 2nd day.
bOn Cycle 1 Start Day and Cycle 1 Consecutive Day, if patient tolerates the Step 1 rate, may increase to Step 2 rate after 2 hours. Administer the entire volume of the prepared dose in the IV infusion bag/container.

  • Required pre-infusion medications and optional pre-infusion medications for RYBREVANT in the ongoing PAPILLON and MARIPOSA-2 studies are summarized in Tables: Pre- Infusion Medications for RYBREVANT in the PAPILLON Study and Pre-Infusion Medications for RYBREVANT in the MARIPOSA-2 Study.7,8
  • Patients may receive other pre-treatment or concomitant treatment for carboplatin or pemetrexed as recommended by approved labeling, local practice guidelines, or as clinically indicated. Permitted prophylactic medications may include the following7,8:
    • Appropriate prophylactic antiemetic regimens for emesis associated with carboplatin, in accordance with institutional practice or national oncology supportive care guidelines.
    • Granulocyte-colony stimulating factors (G-CSFs) could not be used prophylactically during screening. Use of prophylactic colony stimulating factors could be considered after first dose as per local guidelines or approved labeling.

aIf a medication noted in this table was not locally available, a similar medication and dose could be substituted and administered per local guidelines.
bPatients for whom required medications were contraindicated could explore alternative medications with their doctor. If alternative medications were not suitable for the intent above, patients were not required to take the corresponding medication.
cIf the dose of RYBREVANT is delayed until Cycle 1 Day 2 and Cycle 1 Day 3, then the dosing days of pre-infusion medications should be adjusted accordingly.
dThis dose and recommended dosing window allow a single dose of dexamethasone to serve as the pre-infusion glucocorticoid for both chemotherapy and RYBREVANT. If chemotherapy is dosed on Cycle 1 Day 1 and RYBREVANT is dosed on Cycle 1 Day 2 and Cycle 1 Day 3, then the RYBREVANT pre-infusion glucocorticoid dose should be dexamethasone 10 mg (or methylprednisolone 40 mg) on Cycle 1 Day 2 and Cycle 1 Day 3.
eBeginning with Cycle 1 Day 8, optional pre-dose steroids could be administered prior to RYBREVANT if clinically indicated for patients who experienced an infusion-related reaction during either day of the first dose of RYBREVANT.
