Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in other clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma
The safety of MONJUVI was evaluated in L-MIND [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Patients (n=81) received MONJUVI 12 mg/kg intravenously in combination with lenalidomide for a maximum of 12 cycles, followed by MONJUVI as monotherapy until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity as follows:
- Cycle 1: Days 1, 4, 8, 15 and 22 of the 28-day cycle;
- Cycles 2 and 3: Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of each 28-day cycle;
- Cycles 4 and beyond: Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle.
Among patients who received MONJUVI, 57% were exposed for 6 months or longer, 42% were exposed for greater than one year, and 24% were exposed for greater than two years.
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 52% of patients who received MONJUVI. Serious adverse reactions in ≥6% of patients included infections (26%), including pneumonia (7%), and febrile neutropenia (6%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 5% of patients who received MONJUVI, including cerebrovascular accident (1.2%), respiratory failure (1.2%), progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (1.2%) and sudden death (1.2%).
Permanent discontinuation of MONJUVI or lenalidomide due to an adverse reaction occurred in 25% of patients and permanent discontinuation of MONJUVI due to an adverse reaction occurred in 15%. The most frequent adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of MONJUVI were infections (5%), nervous system disorders (2.5%), respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders (2.5%).
Dosage interruptions of MONJUVI or lenalidomide due to an adverse reaction occurred in 69% of patients and dosage interruption of MONJUVI due to an adverse reaction occurred in 65%. The most frequent adverse reactions which required a dosage interruption of MONJUVI were blood and lymphatic system disorders (41%), and infections (27%).
The most common adverse reactions (≥ 20%) were neutropenia, fatigue, anemia, diarrhea, thrombocytopenia, cough, pyrexia, peripheral edema, respiratory tract infection, and decreased appetite.
Table 3 summarizes the adverse reactions in L-MIND.
