Safety Information for RYBREVANT – Gastrointestinal Adverse Events

Last Updated: 08/20/2024

SUMMARY

  • 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
  • MARIPOSA (NCT04487080) is an ongoing, phase 3, randomized study evaluating the efficacy and safety of RYBREVANT and lazertinib combination therapy (open-label, n=429) vs osimertinib (double-blind, n=429) vs lazertinib (double-blind, n=216) as first-line treatment in patients with EGFR-mutated (Exon 19 deletion [Exon19del] or Exon 21 L858R substitution) locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC.2-4
    • Among patients treated with RYBREVANT plus lazertinib, grade ≥3 gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events (AEs) included diarrhea (2%), stomatitis (1%), decreased appetite (1%), and nausea (1%) (Table: MARIPOSA: Incidence of GI AEs).
  • 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; n=153) vs chemotherapy alone (carboplatin and pemetrexed; n=155) in patients with untreated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC and EGFR Exon 20 insertion (Exon20ins) mutations.5,6
    • Among patients treated with RYBREVANT plus chemotherapy, grade ≥3 GI AEs included diarrhea (n=5, 3%), vomiting (n=5, 3%), decreased appetite (n=4, 3%), stomatitis (n=2, 1%), and nausea (n=1, 1%) (Table: PAPILLON: Incidence of GI AEs).
  • MARIPOSA-2 (NCT04988295) is an ongoing, phase 3, randomized, open-label study designed to assess the efficacy and safety of RYBREVANT-lazertinib-chemotherapy (pemetrexed and carboplatin; n=263) and RYBREVANT-chemotherapy (pemetrexed and carboplatin; n=131) vs chemotherapy alone (pemetrexed and carboplatin; n=263) in patients with EGFR-mutated (Exon19del or Exon 21 L858R substitution) locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC on or after osimertinib monotherapy.7,8
    • Among patients treated with RYBREVANT-lazertinib-chemotherapy, grade ≥3 GI AEs included nausea (n=16, 6%), stomatitis (n=24, 9%), constipation (n=3, 1%), decreased appetite (n=7, 3%), vomiting (n=10, 4%), and diarrhea (n=10, 4%). Among patients treated with RYBREVANT-chemotherapy, grade ≥3 GI AEs included nausea, stomatitis, constipation, vomiting, and diarrhea (n=1, 1% for each) (Table: MARIPOSA-2: Incidence of Treatment-Emergent GI AEs).
  • CHRYSALIS (NCT02609776) is an ongoing phase 1, open-label, multicenter, dose escalation and dose expansion study evaluating the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of RYBREVANT as monotherapy and in combination with other therapies in adult patients with advanced NSCLC harboring EGFR mutations who had disease progression during or after previous standard of care (SOC) treatment.9
    • Among 114 patients in the safety population, the only grade ≥3 GI AE was diarrhea (n=4, 4%). Among patients treated at the RP2D (n=258), grade ≥3 GI AEs included diarrhea (n=5, 2%), nausea (n=1, 0.4%), and vomiting (n=1, 0.4%) (Table: CHRYSALIS: Incidence of GI AEs in Patients Treated at the RP2D).
    • In a long-term analysis of 114 patients in CHRYSALIS cohort D with a median follow-up of 19.2 months, grade ≥3 GI AEs included diarrhea (n=4, 4%), nausea (n=1, 1%), vomiting (n=1, 1%), and stomatitis (n=1, 1%). Among patients treated at the RP2D (n=474), grade ≥3 GI AEs included diarrhea (n=6, 1.3%), nausea (n=3, 0.6%), vomiting (n=2, 0.4%), stomatitis (n=2, 0.4%), and constipation (n=1, 0.2%) (Table: CHRYSALIS Long-Term Analysis: Incidence of GI AEs in Patients Treated at the RP2D).10

    • RYBREVANT 1400 mg IV (1750 mg IV for body weight ≥80 kg) was administered every week for the first 4 weeks, with the initial dose as a split infusion on C1D1 and D2, followed by RYBREVANT 1750 mg IV (2100 mg IV for body weight ≥80 kg) every 3 weeks starting at week 7 (C3D1) until disease progression.

MARIPOSA-2 Study

Study Design/Methods

  • Phase 3, ongoing, randomized, open-label study designed to assess the efficacy and safety of RYBREVANT-lazertinib-chemotherapy (n=263) and RYBREVANT-chemotherapy (n=131) vs chemotherapy alone (n=263) in 657 patients with EGFR-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC on or after osimertinib monotherapy (as the most recent line of therapy).7,8
    • RYBREVANT 1400 mg IV (1750 mg IV for body weight ≥80 kg) was administered every week for the first 4 weeks, with the initial dose as a split infusion on C1D1 and D2, followed by 1750 mg IV (2100 mg IV for body weight ≥80 kg) every 3 weeks starting at week 7 (C3D1) until disease progression.
    • Lazertinib 240 mg PO was administered once daily.
    • Chemotherapy was administered every 3 weeks at the beginning of each cycle, with carboplatin at AUC 5 IV for the first 4 cycles, and pemetrexed at 500 mg/m2 IV until disease progression.
  • In the RYBREVANT-lazertinib-chemotherapy arm, patients randomized before November 7, 2022 received lazertinib on C1D1. Due to an increase in hematologic and gastrointestinal toxicities in the arm, the regimen was modified to start lazertinib after carboplatin completion.8
    • An open-label, randomized, extension cohort will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the modified RYBREVANT-lazertinib-chemotherapy regimen vs RYBREVANT-chemotherapy.

Results

  • At a median follow-up of 8.7 months, the median duration of treatment was 5.8 months for RYBREVANT-lazertinib-chemotherapy, 6.3 months for RYBREVANT-chemotherapy, and 3.7 months for chemotherapy alone.7,8

CHRYSALIS Study

The results of the CHRYSALIS study are also included in the RYBREVANT product labeling. The incidence of adverse reactions described below may vary from that in the RYBREVANT product labeling due to the evaluation of different patient populations for safety analyses, contributing to differences in reported percentages. The summary below describes safety results from patients with metastatic or unresectable NSCLC and EGFR Exon20ins mutations with disease progression during or after platinum-based chemotherapy who received RYBREVANT at the RP2D and all patients treated at the RP2D.

Study Design/Methods

  • Phase 1, ongoing, open-label, multicenter, dose escalation and dose expansion study evaluating the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of RYBREVANT as monotherapy and in combination with other therapies in adult patients with advanced NSCLC harboring EGFR mutations who had disease progression during or after previous SOC treatment.9
    • RYBREVANT monotherapy was administered at the RP2D: 1050 mg IV (1400 mg IV for body weight ≥80 kg) every week for C1, with the initial dose as a split infusion on C1D1 and D2, and every 2 weeks thereafter until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
    • A total of 114 patients with metastatic or unresectable NSCLC and EGFR Exon20ins mutations with disease progression during or after platinum-based chemotherapy were evaluated for safety, and 81 evaluable patients were assessed for efficacy.

Results

  • The median follow-up for safety was 5.1 months (range, 0.2-29.3 months).9
