Refer to the lazertinib Prescribing Information for information about concomitant medications.3

When initiating treatment with RYBREVANT in combination with lazertinib, administer alcohol-free (eg, isopropanol-free, ethanol-free) emollient cream and encourage patients to limit sun exposure during and for 2 months after treatment, to wear protective clothing, and to use broad-spectrum ultraviolet (UV)-A/B sunscreen to reduce the risk of dermatologic ARs. Consider prophylactic measures (eg, use of oral antibiotics) to reduce the risk of dermatologic ARs. Refer to the lazertinib Prescribing Information for information about concomitant medications.3

Recommended Premedications

Prior to the initial infusion of RYBREVANT (Week 1, Day 1 and Day 2), administer premedication as described in the table below to reduce the risk of IRRs. Refer to Prescribing Information Section 5.1 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS for additional information.3

Glucocorticoid administration is required for Week 1, Day 1 and Day 2 dose only and upon re‑initiation after prolonged dose interruptions, then as necessary for subsequent infusions (see table below). Administer both antihistamine and antipyretic prior to all infusions.3

Recommended Dosage Modifications for ARs for RYBREVANT in Combination with Lazertinib

When administering RYBREVANT in combination with lazertinib, if there is an AR requiring dose reduction after withholding treatment and resolution, reduce the dose of RYBREVANT first. Refer to the lazertinib Prescribing Information for information about dosage modifications for lazertinib.3

Recommended Dosage Modifications for ARs for RYBREVANT in Combination with Carboplatin and Pemetrexed

When administering RYBREVANT in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed, modify the dosage of one or more drugs. Withhold or discontinue RYBREVANT as shown in Table: Recommended RYBREVANT Dosage Modifications and Management for ARs. Refer to Prescribing Information for carboplatin and pemetrexed for additional dosage modification information.3

Preparation

RYBREVANT is available as a 350 mg/7 mL (50 mg/mL) solution in a single-dose vial. Dilute and prepare RYBREVANT for IV infusion before administration.3

  • Check that the RYBREVANT solution is colorless to pale yellow. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. Do not use if discoloration or visible particles are present.3
  • Determine the dose required and number of RYBREVANT vials needed based on patient’s baseline weight. Each vial of RYBREVANT contains 350 mg of amivantamabvmjw.3
  • Withdraw and then discard a volume of either 5% dextrose solution or 0.9% sodium chloride solution from the 250 mL infusion bag equal to the volume of RYBREVANT to be added (ie, discard 7 mL diluent from the infusion bag for each RYBREVANT vial). Only use infusion bags made of polyvinylchloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), or polyolefin blend (PP+PE).3
  • Withdraw 7 mL of RYBREVANT from each vial and add it to the infusion bag. The final volume in the infusion bag should be 250 mL. Discard any unused portion left in the vial.
  • Gently invert the bag to mix the solution. Do not shake.3
  • Diluted solutions should be administered within 10 hours (including infusion time) at room temperature 59°F to 77°F (15°C to 25°C).3

Administration

  • Administer the diluted RYBREVANT solution by IV infusion using an infusion set fitted with a flow regulator and with an in-line, sterile, non-pyrogenic, low protein-binding polyethersulfone (PES) filter (pore size 0.2 micrometer).3
  • Administration sets must be made of either polyurethane (PU), polybutadiene (PBD), PVC, PP, or PE.3
  • The administration set with filter, must be primed with either 5% dextrose solution or 0.9% sodium chloride solution prior to the initiation of each RYBREVANT infusion.3
  • Do not infuse RYBREVANT concomitantly in the same IV line with other agents.3

RYBREVANT in Combination with Carboplatin and Pemetrexed

  • Administer RYBREVANT in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed infusions Q3W IV until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity according to the infusion rates in the table below.3
  • Administer RYBREVANT via a peripheral line on Week 1 and Week 2 to reduce the risk of IRRs during initial treatment.3
  • RYBREVANT may be administered via central line for subsequent weeks.3
  • For the initial infusion, prepare RYBREVANT as close to administration time as possible to allow for the possibility of extended infusion time in the event of an IRR.3
  • Administer the pemetrexed infusion first, carboplatin infusion second, and the RYBREVANT infusion last.3
