Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection, including opportunistic infections, and treat as needed. ( 5.3 ) Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis : Can cause serious or fatal reactions. For suspected cases, interrupt LUNSUMIO VELO and evaluate and treat promptly. ( 5.4 ) Cytopenias : Monitor complete blood cell counts during treatment. ( 5.5 ) Tumor Flare : Can cause serious tumor flare reactions. Monitor patients at risk for complications of tumor flare. ( 5.6 ) Risk of Medication Errors with Incorrect Product Use : Ensure that the correct formulation is being prescribed, dispensed, and administered. ( 5.7 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : May cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to the fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.8 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Cytokine Release Syndrome LUNSUMIO VELO can cause CRS, including serious or life-threatening reactions [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . CRS occurred in 30% of patients who received LUNSUMIO VELO at the recommended dosage in the clinical trial (N = 94), with Grade 1 CRS occurring in 20%, Grade 2 in 7%, and Grade 3 in 2.1% of patients. Among 28 patients who experienced CRS, CRS recurred in 14%. CRS occurred most commonly after the first two doses: 19% of patients experienced CRS after the Cycle 1 Day 1 dose, 13% after the Cycle 1 Day 8 dose, and 2.1% after the Cycle 1 Day 15 dose. The median time to CRS onset from the start of LUNSUMIO VELO administration was 17 hours (range: 7 to 33 hours) with the Cycle 1 Day 1 dose, and 62 hours (range: 30 to 113 hours) with the Cycle 1 Day 8 dose. CRS resolved in all patients, after a median duration of 2 days (range: 1 to 15 days). Clinical signs and symptoms of CRS included fever, hypotension, hypoxia, chills, tachycardia, and headache. Concurrent neurologic adverse reactions occurred in 5% of patients and included but were not limited to headache, dizziness, lethargy, memory impairment, and peripheral neuropathy. Initiate therapy according to LUNSUMIO VELO step-up dosing schedule to reduce the risk of CRS. Administer pretreatment medications to reduce the risk of CRS, ensure adequate hydration, and monitor patients following administration of LUNSUMIO VELO accordingly [see Dosage and Administration (2.2 and 2.3) ] . At the first sign of CRS, immediately evaluate patients for hospitalization, manage per current practice guidelines, and administer supportive care; withhold or permanently discontinue LUNSUMIO VELO based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . Patients who experience CRS (or other adverse reactions that impair consciousness) should be evaluated and advised not to drive and to refrain from operating heavy or potentially dangerous machinery until resolution. 5.2 Neurologic Toxicity, including Immune Effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome LUNSUMIO VELO can cause serious and life-threatening neurologic toxicity, including immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. Neurologic toxicity occurred in 53% of patients who received LUNSUMIO VELO at the recommended dosage in the clinical trial (N = 94), with Grade 3 neurologic toxicity occurring in 1.1% of patients. The most frequent neurologic toxicities were headache (17%), insomnia (15%), dizziness (10%), and mental status changes (7%, including confusion and lethargy). ICANS or suspected ICANS was reported in 3.1% of patients (all Grade 1). Across a broader clinical trial population, ICANS or suspected ICANS occurred in 2.2% (21/949) …

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Cytokine Release Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Neurologic Toxicity, including Immune Effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Infections [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Cytopenias [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Tumor Flare [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] The most common adverse reactions (≥ 20%) are injection site reactions, fatigue, rash, CRS, COVID-19 infection, musculoskeletal pain, and diarrhea. The most common Grade 3 to 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥ 15%) are decreased lymphocyte count, decreased neutrophil count, and increased uric acid. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Genentech at 1-888-835-2555 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience 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 of 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%). Table 7 summarizes the adverse reactions. Table 7.

Drug Interactions

openFDA Drug Labeling

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Effect of LUNSUMIO VELO on CYP450 Substrates LUNSUMIO VELO causes release of cytokines [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] that may suppress activity of CYP450 enzymes, resulting in increased exposure of CYP450 substrates. Increased exposure of CYP450 substrates is more likely to occur after the first dose of LUNSUMIO VELO on Cycle 1 Day 1 and up to 14 days after the 45 mg dose on Cycle 1 Day 8 and during and after CRS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Monitor for toxicity or concentrations of drugs that are CYP450 substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions. Consult the concomitant CYP450 substrate drug prescribing information for recommended dosage modification.

Use in Specific Populations

openFDA Drug Labeling

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on the mechanism of action, LUNSUMIO VELO may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . There are no available data on the use of LUNSUMIO VELO in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk. No animal reproductive or developmental toxicity studies have been conducted with mosunetuzumab-axgb. Mosunetuzumab-axgb causes T-cell activation and cytokine release; immune activation may compromise pregnancy maintenance. In addition, based on expression of CD20 on B-cells and the finding of B-cell depletion in non-pregnant animals, mosunetuzumab-axgb can cause B-cell lymphocytopenia in infants exposed to mosunetuzumab-axgb in-utero. Human immunoglobulin G (IgG) is known to cross the placenta; therefore, LUNSUMIO VELO has the potential to be transmitted from the mother to the developing fetus. Advise women of the potential risk to the fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% – 4% and 15% – 20%, respectively. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There is no information regarding the presence of mosunetuzumab-axgb in human milk, the effect on the breastfed child, or milk production. Because human IgG is present in human milk, and there is potential for mosunetuzumab-axgb absorption leading to B-cell depletion, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with LUNSUMIO VELO and for 3 months after the last dose. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential LUNSUMIO VELO may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ]. Pregnancy Testing Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating LUNSUMIO VELO. Contraception Females Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with LUNSUMIO VELO and for 3 months after the last dose. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and efficacy of LUNSUMIO VELO have not been established in pediatric patients. 8.5 Geriatric Use Among the 94 patients treated with LUNSUMIO VELO, 51% were 65 years of age or older. There is an insufficient number of patients 65 years of age or older to assess whether there are differences in safety or effectiveness by age group.

Mechanism of Action

openFDA Drug Labeling

12.1 Mechanism of Action Mosunetuzumab-axgb is a T-cell engaging bispecific antibody that binds to the CD3 receptor expressed on the surface of T-cells and CD20 expressed on the surface of lymphoma cells and some healthy B-lineage cells. In vitro, mosunetuzumab-axgb activated T-cells, caused the release of proinflammatory cytokines, and induced lysis of B-cells.

A report count is not a risk measure. FAERS accepts voluntary and mandatory reports without establishing causation, and reporting is influenced by how widely a drug is used, how long it has been marketed, and media attention. FDA states that reports “do not prove that the drug caused the event”. Compare rates, not totals.

Attributed to this product's most-reported active ingredient: MOSUNETUZUMAB. Combination products with more than six active ingredients are not attributed, because a report count summed across a long ingredient list measures the list, not the medicine.
