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 increased, and fibrinogen decreased.

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.
Risk Summary
There are no data on the presence of glofitamab-gxbm in human milk or the effects on the breastfed child or milk production. Because human IgG is present in human milk, and there is potential for glofitamab-gxbm absorption leading to B-cell depletion, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with COLUMVI and for 1 month after the last dose of COLUMVI.
Pregnancy Testing
Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating COLUMVI.
Contraception
Females
Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with COLUMVI and for 1 month after the last dose of COLUMVI [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].
Circulating B Cell Count
Peripheral B cell counts decreased to undetectable levels (< 5 cells/microliter) in 86.5% of patients by Cycle 1 Day 7 after obinutuzumab pretreatment of 1,000 mg on Cycle 1 Day 1, and in 88.2% of patients by Cycle 1 Day 10 after the first glofitamab-gxbm dose of 2.5 mg on Cycle 1 Day 8.
Cytokine Concentrations
Plasma concentrations of cytokines (IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, and IFN-γ) were measured and transient elevation of cytokines was observed at doses of 0.045 mg and above. After administration of the recommended dosage of COLUMVI, the highest elevation of cytokines was generally observed within 6 hours after the first glofitamab-gxbm dose of 2.5 mg on Cycle 1 Day 8. The elevated cytokine levels generally returned to baseline within 48 hours after the first 30 mg dose on Cycle 2 Day 1.
Distribution
The glofitamab-gxbm total volume of distribution is 5.6 L (24%).
Elimination
At steady state, the glofitamab-gxbm terminal half-life is 7.6 days (24%) and the clearance is 0.617 L/day (33%).
Metabolism
Glofitamab-gxbm is expected to be metabolized into small peptides by catabolic pathways.
Specific Populations
No clinically significant changes in the pharmacokinetics of glofitamab-gxbm were observed based on age (21 to 90 years), body weight (31 to 148 kg), sex, mild to moderate renal impairment (CLcr 30 to < 90 mL/min as estimated by Cockcroft-Gault formula) and mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > ULN to ≤ 1.5 × ULN or AST > ULN).
The effects of severe renal impairment (CLcr 15 to < 30 mL/min), end-stage renal disease (CLcr < 15 mL/min), or moderate to severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 1.5 × ULN and any AST), and race/ethnicity on the pharmacokinetics of glofitamab-gxbm are unknown.
Drug Interaction Studies
No clinical studies evaluating the drug interaction potential of glofitamab-gxbm have been conducted.
Cytokine Release Syndrome
Inform patients of the risk of CRS. Advise patients to seek immediate medical attention if they experience signs and symptoms of CRS (fever, hypoxia, hypotension, chills and tachycardia) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
Provide patients with the Patient Wallet Card that they should carry with them at all times. This card describes symptoms of CRS which, if experienced, should prompt the patient to seek immediate medical attention.
Neurologic Toxicity
Discuss the signs and symptoms associated with neurologic toxicity, including ICANS, headache, peripheral neuropathy, dizziness, or mental status changes. Advise patients to immediately contact their healthcare provider if they experience any signs or symptoms of neurologic toxicity. Advise patients who experience neurologic toxicity that impairs consciousness to refrain from driving or operating heavy or potentially dangerous machinery until neurologic toxicity resolves [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].
Serious Infections
Advise patients that COLUMVI can cause serious infections. Advise patients to notify their healthcare provider immediately if they develop any signs of infection (e.g., fever, chills, weakness) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].
Tumor Flare
Inform patients of the potential risk of tumor flare reaction and to report any signs and symptoms associated with this event (e.g., localized pain and swelling) to their healthcare provider for evaluation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)].
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to inform their healthcare provider if they are pregnant or become pregnant. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with COLUMVI and for 1 month after the last dose [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) and Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].
Advise women not to breastfeed while receiving treatment with COLUMVI and for 1 month after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.2)].
