4.1. Therapeutic indications

LYNOZYFIC is indicated as monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least 3 prior therapies, including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, and have demonstrated disease progression on the last therapy.

4.2. Posology and method of administration

Treatment should be initiated and supervised by physicians experienced in the treatment of multiple myeloma.

LYNOZYFIC should be administered by a healthcare professional with immediate access to emergency equipment and appropriate medical support to manage severe reactions such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS), infusion-related reactions (IRR), or immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) if they occur (see section 4.4).

Prior to initiating treatment, complete blood count should be performed. Any active infection should be ruled out (see section 4.4). Pregnancy in women of child-bearing potential should also be ruled out (see section 4.6).

Posology

Pretreatment therapy

Pretreatment medicinal products in Table 1 should be administered to reduce the risk of CRS and/or IRR (see sections 4.4 and 4.8). Pretreatment medicinal products should be administered until two full doses are tolerated without CRS and/or IRR.

Table 1. Pretreatment medicinal products:

Dose Pretreatment medicinal products Administration relative to
LYNOZYFIC infusion
Step up dosing (including
the 1st 200 mg dose)
40 mg dexamethasone IV 1 to 3 hours prior to infusion
Antihistamine (e.g.,
diphenhydramine 25 mg oral or IV)
30 to 60 minutes prior to
infusion
Paracetamol (e.g., 500 to 1000 mg
oral)
30 to 60 minutes prior to
infusion
2nd 200 mg dose Dexamethasone 1 to 3 hours prior to infusion
40 mg dexamethasone IV in
patients who experienced CRS
and/or IRR with prior infusion
10 mg dexamethasone IV in
patients who did not experience
CRS and/or IRR with prior
infusion
Antihistamine (e.g.,
diphenhydramine 25 mg oral or IV)
30 to 60 minutes prior to
infusion
Paracetamol (e.g., 500 to 1000 mg
oral)
30 to 60 minutes prior to
infusion
Subsequent 200 mg doses • If the patient experienced CRS and/or IRR with the prior
infusion, repeat pretreatment medicinal products as
described above for the 2nd 200 mg dose.
• Once the 200 mg dose is tolerated without CRS and/or
IRR:
o If the patient received 40 mg dexamethasone IV
with the prior infusion, step down to 10 mg
dexamethasone IV and continue other pretreatment
medicinal products as described above.
o If the patient received 10 mg dexamethasone IV
with the prior infusion, discontinue all pretreatment
medicinal products.

Prophylactic therapy

Prophylactic treatment per local institutional guidelines for Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) and herpes simplex and zoster viruses is recommended for all patients. Prophylactic antimicrobials and anti-virals, including prophylaxis against cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, should be considered based on local institutional guidelines (see section 4.4).

Recommended posology

The recommended step-up treatment doses, full treatment dose, and treatment frequency are presented in Table 2. Each dose should only be administered if the previous dose is tolerated. For doses that are not tolerated, refer to Table 3, Table 4, and Table 5.

All patients should be monitored for signs and symptoms of potential CRS, IRR, and ICANS during administration and for 24 hours after the end of the infusion of the first step‑up treatment dose. Patients should be instructed to remain with a caregiver within close proximity of the qualified treatment centre for 24 hours after the first step-up treatment dose (see section 4.4).

Patients who have experienced CRS, IRR, a neurologic adverse reaction, or any grade ≥ 2 adverse event, with the first step-up treatment dose administration should be monitored during administration and for 24 hours after the administration of the second step-up treatment dose and should be instructed to remain with a caregiver within close proximity of the qualified treatment centre for 24 hours (see section 4.4).

Management of adverse reactions

Table 3 describes the management of CRS. Table 4 describes the management of ICANS. Table 5 describes the management of other adverse events.

Cytokine release syndrome

Identify CRS based on clinical presentation (see section 4.4). Evaluate and treat other causes of fever, hypoxia and hypotension. If CRS is suspected, withhold LYNOZYFIC until CRS resolves. CRS should be managed according to the recommendations in Table 3 and per current practice guidelines. Supportive therapy for CRS should be administered, which may include intensive care for severe or life-threatening CRS.

Table 3. Recommendations for management of cytokine release syndrome:

Gradea Presenting symptoms Recommendations
Grade 1 Fever ≥ 38ºCb • Withhold treatment until CRS
resolves.
• Provide supportive care, which may
include intensive care.
• Consider anticytokine therapyc and/or
corticosteroidsd.
• When restarting treatment, refer to
Table 6.
Grade 2 Fever ≥ 38ºCb with:
Hypotension responsive to fluids and not
requiring vasopressors
and/or
hypoxia requiring low-flow oxygene by
nasal cannula or blow-by
• Withhold treatment until CRS
resolves.
• Provide supportive care, which may
include intensive care.
• If symptoms do not improve within
4 hours, administer anticytokine
therapyc.
• In patients with organ toxicities,
administer corticosteroidsd.
• When restarting treatment, refer to
Table 6.
Grade 3 Fever ≥ 38ºCb with:
Hypotension requiring a vasopressor (with
or without vasopressin)

Special populations

Elderly

No dose adjustment is recommended for elderly patients (see section 5.2).

Renal impairment

No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with mild (CrCL ≥ 60 to < 90 mL/min), moderate (CrCL ≥ 30 to < 60 mL/min), or severe renal impairment (CrCL ≥ 15 to < 30 mL/min) (see section 5.2).

Hepatic impairment

No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > ULN to 1.5 × ULN or AST > ULN). LYNOZYFIC has not been studied in patients with moderate (total bilirubin > 1.5 to 3 × ULN, any AST) or severe (total bilirubin > 3 to 10 × ULN, any AST) hepatic impairment. No dose recommendations can be made for patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (see section 5.2).

Paediatric population

There is no relevant use of LYNOZYFIC in the paediatric population for the treatment of multiple myeloma.

Method of administration

LYNOZYFIC is for intravenous use only.

LYNOZYFIC should be administered as an intravenous infusion through a dedicated infusion line. It is recommended to use a 0.2-micron to 5-micron polyethersulfone (PES) filter (see section 6.6).

  • Step-up treatment dose 1, step-up treatment dose 2, and the first full treatment dose of LYNOZYFIC are administered as a 4-hour infusion. If the first full treatment dose of LYNOZYFIC is tolerated, infusion time can be reduced to 1 hour for the next full treatment dose and then subsequently 30 minutes for all following full treatment doses.
  • For infusion recommendations when restarting after an adverse reaction, refer to Table 6.
  • LYNOZYFIC must not be administered as intravenous push or bolus.

For instructions on dilution of the medicinal product before administration, see section 6.6.

4.9. Overdose

In case of overdose, patients should be closely monitored for signs or symptoms of adverse reactions, and appropriate symptomatic treatment instituted.

6.3. Shelf life

Unopened vial:

18 months.

Infusion solution:

Once prepared, administer diluted solution immediately. Chemical and physical in-use stability has been demonstrated for the diluted infusion solution as follows:

  • Up to 8 hours at room temperature (20 to 25°C) from preparation to the start of the infusion.
  • Up to 48 hours under refrigeration at 2 to 8°C from preparation to the start of the infusion.

From a microbiological point of view, the product should be used immediately. If not used immediately, in-use storage times and conditions prior to use are the responsibility of the user and would normally not be longer than 24 hours at 2 to 8°C, unless dilution has taken place in controlled and validated aseptic conditions.

Protect the infusion solution from light during storage.

6.4. Special precautions for storage

Store in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C.

Do not freeze.

Keep the vial in the outer carton in order to protect from light.

For storage conditions after dilution of the medicinal product, see section 6.3.

6.5. Nature and contents of container

5 mg concentrate for solution for infusion:

2.5 mL of concentrate in a 5 mL Type 1 clear glass vial with a grey chlorobutyl stopper with coating and a 20 mm aluminium seal cap with a white flip-off button.

Pack of one vial.

200 mg concentrate for solution for infusion:

10 mL of concentrate in a 20 mL Type 1 clear glass vial with a grey chlorobutyl stopper with coating and a 20 mm aluminium seal cap with a blue flip-off button.

Pack of one vial.

6.6. Special precautions for disposal and other handling

Instructions for dilution

Use aseptic technique to prepare LYNOZYFIC. Each vial is intended for single-dose only. Discard any unused portion left in the vial.

Do not shake the vial.

Visually inspect for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. LYNOZYFIC is a clear to slightly opalescent, colourless to pale yellow liquid that is essentially free from visible particulates. Discard the vial if the solution is cloudy, discoloured, or contains particulate matter.

Withdraw the desired dose from the vial of LYNOZYFIC based on Table 12 and transfer into an intravenous infusion bag of sodium chloride 9 mg/mL (0.9%) solution for injection. LYNOZYFIC is compatible with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) non-di-ethylhexylphthalate (non-DEHP), polyolefin (PO), or ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA) infusion bags. Mix diluted solution by gentle inversion. Do not shake the solution.

After LYNOZYFIC has been diluted as instructed, administer as follows:

  • Connect the prepared IV infusion bag containing the final LYNOZYFIC solution to IV tubing constructed of PVC, polyethylene (PE)-lined PVC, or polyurethane (PU). It is recommended to use a 0.2-micron to 5-micron polyethersulfone (PES) filter.
  • Prime with LYNOZYFIC to the end of the IV tubing.
  • Do not mix LYNOZYFIC with other drugs or concurrently administer other drugs through the same intravenous line.
  • Upon completion of LYNOZYFIC infusion, flush the infusion line with adequate volume of sterile sodium chloride 9 mg/mL (0.9%) solution for injection to ensure that the entire contents of the infusion bag are administered.
  • Total infusion time should include flushing of the infusion line.
