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%).
