RYBREVANT Solution for injection Ref.[28356] Active ingredients: Amivantamab

Revision Year: 2022 

1. Indications and Usage

RYBREVANT is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion mutations, as detected by an FDA-approved test [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)], whose disease has progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy.

This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate and duration of response [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in the confirmatory trials.

2. Dosage and Administration

2.1 Patient Selection

Select patients for treatment with RYBREVANT based on the presence of EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Information on FDA-approved tests is available at: http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics.

2.2 Recommended Dosage

The recommended doses of RYBREVANT, based on baseline body weight, are provided in Table 1, and the dosing schedule is provided in Table 2.

Administer premedications before each RYBREVANT infusion as recommended [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. Administer diluted RYBREVANT intravenously according to the infusion rates in Table 6, with the initial dose as a split infusion on Week 1 on Day 1 and Day 2 [see Dosage and Administration (2.5), (2.6)]. Administer RYBREVANT until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

2.3 Recommended Premedications

Prior to initial infusion of RYBREVANT (Week 1, Days 1 and 2), administer premedication as described in Table 3 to reduce the risk of infusion-related reactions: [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

Table 5.Recommended RYBREVANT Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions:

Adverse Reaction Severity Dosage Modifications
Infusion-related reactions (IRR) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] Grade 1 to 2 • Interrupt RYBREVANT infusion if IRR is suspected and monitor patient until reaction symptoms resolve.
• Resume the infusion at 50% of the infusion rate at which the reaction occurred.
• If there are no additional symptoms after 30 minutes, the infusion rate may be escalated (see Table 6).
• Include corticosteroid with premedications for subsequent dose (see Table 3).
Grade 3 • Interrupt RYBREVANT infusion and administer supportive care medications. Monitor patient until reaction symptoms resolve.
• Resume the infusion at 50% of the infusion rate at which the reaction occurred.
• If there are no additional symptoms after 30 minutes, the infusion rate may be escalated (see Table 6).
• Include corticosteroid with premedications for subsequent dose (see Table 3). For recurrent Grade 3, permanently discontinue RYBREVANT.
Grade 4 • Permanently discontinue RYBREVANT.
Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/pneumonitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. Any Grade • Withhold RYBREVANT if ILD/pneumonitis is suspected.
• Permanently discontinue RYBREVANT if ILD/pneumonitis is confirmed.
Dermatologic Adverse Reactions (including dermatitis acneiform, pruritus, dry skin) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)] Grade 2 • Initiate supportive care management.
• Reassess after 2 weeks; if rash does not improve, consider dose reduction.
Grade 3 • Withhold RYBREVANT and initiate supportive care management.
• Upon recovery to ≤ Grade 2, resume RYBREVANT at reduced dose.
• If no improvement within 2 weeks, permanently discontinue treatment.
Grade 4 • Permanently discontinue RYBREVANT
Severe bullous, blistering or exfoliating skin conditions (including toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) • Permanently discontinue RYBREVANT.
Other Adverse Reactions [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)] Grade 3 • Withhold RYBREVANT until recovery to ≤ Grade 1 or baseline.
• Resume at the same dose if recovery occurs within 1 week.

• Permanently discontinue for recurrent Grade 4 reactions.

2.5 Preparation

Dilute and prepare RYBREVANT for intravenous infusion before administration.

  • Check that the RYBREVANT solution is colorless to pale yellow. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. Do not use if discoloration or visible particles are present.
  • Determine the dose required (either 1050 mg or 1400 mg) and number of RYBREVANT vials needed based on patient’s baseline weight [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)]. Each vial of RYBREVANT contains 350 mg of amivantamab-vmjw.
  • Withdraw and then discard a volume of either 5% dextrose solution or 0.9% sodium chloride solution from the 250 mL infusion bag equal to the volume of RYBREVANT to be added (i.e., discard 7 mL diluent from the infusion bag for each RYBREVANT vial). Only use infusion bags made of polyvinylchloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), or polyolefin blend (PP+PE).
  • Withdraw 7 mL of RYBREVANT from each vial and add it to the infusion bag. The final volume in the infusion bag should be 250 mL. Discard any unused portion left in the vial.
  • Gently invert the bag to mix the solution. Do not shake.
  • Diluted solutions should be administered within 10 hours (including infusion time) at room temperature 59°F to 77°F (15°C to 25°C).

2.6 Administration

Administer the diluted solution [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)] by intravenous infusion using an infusion set fitted with a flow regulator and with an in-line, sterile, non-pyrogenic, low protein-binding polyethersulfone (PES) filter (pore size 0.2 micrometer) primed with diluent only. Administration sets must be made of either polyurethane (PU), polybutadiene (PBD) PVC, PP, or PE.

Do not infuse RYBREVANT concomitantly in the same intravenous line with other agents.

Administer RYBREVANT via a peripheral line on Week 1 and Week 2 given the high incidence of infusion-related reactions during initial treatment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. RYBREVANT may be administered via central line for subsequent weeks. For the initial infusion, prepare RYBREVANT as close to administration time as possible to allow for the possibility of extended infusion time in the event of an infusion-related reaction.

Administer RYBREVANT infusion intravenously according to the infusion rates in Table 6.
