Detailed description

Prophylaxis and premedication

Table 1 provides details on recommended premedication for CRS and infusion related reactions.

Table 1. Premedication to be administered to patients prior to mosunetuzumab infusion:

Patients requiring
premedication
PremedicationAdministration
Cycles 1 and 2: all patients

Cycles 3 and beyond: patients
who experienced any grade CRS
with previous dose
Intravenous corticosteroids:
dexamethasone 20 mg or
methylprednisolone 80 mg
Complete at least 1 hour
prior to mosunetuzumab infusion
Anti-histamine: 50-100 mg
diphenhydramine hydrochloride or
equivalent oral or intravenous
anti-histamine
At least 30 minutes prior to
mosunetuzumab infusion
Anti-pyretic: 500-1000 mg
paracetamol

The recommended dose of mosunetuzumab for each 21 day-cycle is detailed in Table 2.

Table 2. Dose of mosunetuzumab for patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma:

Day of treatment Dose of mosunetuzumabRate of infusion
Cycle 1 Day 1 1 mg Infusions of mosunetuzumab in Cycle 1 should be
administered over a minimum of 4 hours.
Day 8 2 mg
Day 15 60 mg
Cycle 2 Day 1 60 mg If the infusions were well-tolerated in
Cycle 1, subsequent infusions of mosunetuzumab
may be administered over 2 hours.
Cycles 3 and
beyond
Day 1 30 mg

Duration of treatment

Mosunetuzumab should be administered for 8 cycles, unless a patient experiences unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.

For patients who achieve a complete response, no further treatment beyond 8 cycles is required. For patients who achieve a partial response or have stable disease in response to treatment with mosunetuzumab after 8 cycles, an additional 9 cycles of treatment (17 cycles total) should be administered, unless a patient experiences unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.

Delayed or missed dose

If any dose in cycle 1 is delayed for >7 days, the previous tolerated dose should be repeated prior to resuming the planned treatment schedule.

If a dose interruption occurs between Cycles 1 and 2 that results in a treatment-free interval of ≥6 weeks, mosunetuzumab should be administered at 1 mg on Day 1, 2 mg on Day 8, then resume the planned Cycle 2 treatment of 60 mg on Day 15.

If a dose interruption occurs that results in a treatment-free interval of ≥6 weeks between any Cycles in Cycle 3 onwards, mosunetuzumab should be administered at 1 mg on Day 1, 2 mg on Day 8, then resume the planned treatment schedule of 30 mg on Day 15.

Dose modification

Patients who experience grade 3 or 4 reactions (e.g. serious infection, tumour flare, tumour lysis syndrome) should have treatment temporarily withheld until symptoms are resolved.

CRS should be identified based on clinical presentation. Patients should be evaluated and treated for, other causes of fever, hypoxia, and hypotension, such as infections/sepsis. Infusion related reactions (IRR) may be clinically indistinguishable from manifestations of CRS. If CRS or IRR is suspected, patients should be managed according to the recommendations.

Dosage considerations

Mosunetuzumab must be diluted using aseptic technique under the supervision of a healthcare professional. It should be administered as an intravenous infusion through a dedicated infusion line. Do not use an inline filter to administer mosunetuzumab. Drip chamber filters can be used to administer mosunetuzumab.

The first cycle of mosunetuzumab should be administered over a minimum of 4 hours as intravenous infusion. If the infusions are well-tolerated in cycle 1, the subsequent cycles may be administered over a 2-hours infusion.

Mosunetuzumab must not be administered as intravenous push or bolus.

Active ingredient

Mosunetuzumab

Mosunetuzumab is an anti-CD20/CD3 T-cell engaging bispecific antibody targeting CD20-expressing B-cells. It is a conditional agonist; targeted B-cell killing is observed only upon simultaneous binding to CD20 on B-cells and CD3 on T-cells. Engagement of both arms of mosunetuzumab results in the formation of an immunologic synapse between a target B cell and a cytotoxic T cell leading to T-cell activation. Subsequent directed release of perforin and granzymes from T-cell activation through the immunologic synapsis induce B-cell lysis leading to cell death.
