BEERSE, BELGIUM (15 November 2024) – Janssen-Cilag International NV, a Johnson & Johnson company, today announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has recommended the Marketing Authorisation (MA)for LAZCLUZE®▼ (lazertinib), in combination with RYBREVANT®▼ (amivantamab), for the first-line treatment of adult patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 19 deletions (ex19del) or exon 21 L858R (L858R) substitution mutations.2 The CHMP has simultaneously recommended approval of a Type II extension of indication for amivantamab in the same combination regimen.2
“Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally, and patients with EGFR-mutated advanced non-small-cell lung cancer are in need of new targeted treatment options,” said Henar Hevia, Ph.D., Senior Director, EMEA Therapeutic Area Lead, Oncology, Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine. “Pending European Commission approval, the combination of amivantamab with lazertinib could establish a new first-line standard of care, with the potential to significantly delay disease progression and improve outcomes early in the treatment pathway while reserving chemotherapy regimens for later stages of treatment when resistance becomes more complex.”
The CHMP positive opinions for the MA and Type II extension of indication are supported by data from the Phase 3 MARIPOSA (NCT04487080) study, evaluating amivantamab in combination with lazertinib compared to osimertinib as first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR ex19del or exon 21 L858R substitution mutations.1 The study met its primary endpoint, and at median follow-up of 22 months, reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 30 percent compared to osimertinib (median progression-free survival [PFS]: 23.7 months compared to 16.6 months for osimertinib; hazard ratio [HR]=0.70; 95 percent confidence Interval [CI], 0.58–0.85; P<0.001) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR).1 The median duration of response (DOR) was significantly longer for patients receiving amivantamab plus lazertinib compared to osimertinib, with a nine-month improvement in median DOR (25.8 vs. 16.8 months).1
Results from the MARIPOSA study were featured during a Presidential Symposium session at the 2023 European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress, with longer-term follow-up data presented at the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) 2024 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC).1,3
The MARIPOSA study required all patients to have serial brain imaging with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in order to detect or monitor brain metastases, a measure not implemented in most prior studies for EGFR-mutated NSCLC.1 The primary endpoint of PFS in MARIPOSA included these central nervous system (CNS) events detected by serial brain MRIs.1 The median PFS when censoring CNS-only first progressions was 27.5 months for the combination of amivantamab and lazertinib, compared to 18.4 months for osimertinib (HR=0.68; 95 percent CI, 0.55–0.83; P<0.001**).1,4
Longer-term follow-up data shows a strong favourable overall survival trend for amivantamab plus lazertinib versus osimertinib.3 At three years (median follow-up of 31.1 months), 61 percent of patients receiving amivantamab plus lazertinib were alive compared to 53 percent of those treated with osimertinib based on an analysis performed at the request of health authorities*** (Median OS not estimable [NE] vs 37.3 months; HR=0.77; 95 percent CI, 0.61-0.96; nominal P=0.019).3
The safety profile of the combination of amivantamab and lazertinib was consistent with previous reports from Phase 1-2 studies, with mostly Grade 1 or 2 adverse events (AEs).1 Toxicity was largely manageable with dose interruptions and reductions, along with supportive care measures commonly used in the treatment of patients with NSCLC.1 The most common treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) of any grade were paronychia (68 percent), infusion-related reactions (63 percent), and rash (62 percent).1 Amivantamab plus lazertinib had higher rates of EGFR- and MET-related AEs and venous thromboembolism compared to osimertinib, except diarrhoea, for which rates were higher for osimertinib.1 The commonest grade 3 or higher TEAEs were rash (15 percent), paronychia (11 percent) and dermatitis acneiform (8 percent).1 The rate of discontinuation of all study treatments due to treatment-related AEs for the amivantamab combination was 10 percent.1 The rate of interstitial lung disease (including pneumonitis) was less than three percent in both arms.1
“These CHMP positive opinions mark a pivotal step in our mission to deliver transformative first-line therapies for people living with EGFR-mutated NSCLC,” said Kiran Patel, M.D., Vice President, Clinical Development, Solid Tumours, Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine. “Based on the growing body of promising results we’ve seen to date and our ongoing clinical development programme, we believe amivantamab has the potential to become a foundational therapy for EGFR- and MET-driven NSCLC.”
About the MARIPOSA Study
MARIPOSA (NCT04487080), which enrolled 1,074 patients, is a randomised, Phase 3 study evaluating amivantamab in combination with lazertinib versus osimertinib and versus lazertinib alone in first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR ex19del or exon 21 L858R substitution mutations.1 The primary endpoint of the study is PFS (using RECIST v1.1 guidelines‡) as assessed by BICR.1 Secondary endpoints include overall survival (OS), overall response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR), second progression free survival (PFS2) and intracranial PFS.1
The MARIPOSA study required all patients to have serial brain imaging with MRIs in order to detect or monitor brain metastases, a measure not implemented in most prior studies for EGFR-mutated NSCLC.1 The primary endpoint of PFS in MARIPOSA included these central nervous system (CNS) events detected by serial brain MRIs.1 Extracranial PFS, which may more closely approximate what would be seen in other trials, was also explored in MARIPOSA.1
About Amivantamab
Amivantamab is a fully-human EGFR-MET bispecific antibody that acts by targeting tumours with activating and resistance EGFR mutations and MET mutations and amplifications, and by harnessing the immune system.5,6,7,8
The European Commission (EC) has granted marketing authorisation of amivantamab in the following indications:9
· In combination in with carboplatin and pemetrexed, for the treatment of adult patients with advanced NSCLC with EGFR exon 19 deletions or 21 L858R substitution mutations, after failure of prior therapy including an EGFR TKI
· As monotherapy, for treatment of adult patients with advanced NSCLC with activating EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations, after failure of platinum-based therapy
· In combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed, for the first-line treatment of adult patients with advanced NSCLC with activating EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations
In February 2024, a Type II extension of indication application was submitted to the EMA based on the MARIPOSA study, for amivantamab in combination with lazertinib for the first-line treatment of adult patients with advanced NSCLC withEGFR ex19del or L858R substitution mutations.10 In May 2024, an application for the extension of the amivantamab marketing authorisation was submitted seeking approval for the use of a subcutaneous (SC) formulation of amivantamab in combination with lazertinib for the first-line treatment of adult patients with advanced NSCLC with EGFR ex19del or L858R mutations, and for the use of SC amivantamab monotherapy in adult patients with advanced NSCLC with activating EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations after failure of platinum-based therapy.11
For a full list of adverse events and information on dosage and administration, contraindications and other precautions when using amivantamab, please refer to the Summary of Product CharacteristicsANNEX I SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 1 This medicinal product is subject to additional monitoring. This will allow quick identification of new safety information. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions. See section 4.8 for how to report adverse reactions. 1.

The solution is colourless to pale yellow, with a pH of 5.7 and an osmolality of approximately 310 mOsm/kg. 4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 Therapeutic indications Rybrevant is indicated: in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed for the treatment of adult patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR Exon 19 deletions or Exon 21 L858R substitution mutations after failure of prior therapy including an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed for the first-line treatment of adult patients with advanced NSCLC with activating EGFR Exon 20 insertion mutations. as monotherapy for treatment of adult patients with advanced NSCLC with activating EGFR Exon 20 insertion mutations, after failure of platinum-based therapy. 4.2 Posology and method of administration Treatment with Rybrevant should be initiated and supervised by a physician experienced in the use of anticancer medicinal products. Rybrevant should be administered by a healthcare professional with access to appropriate medical support to manage infusion-related reactions (IRRs) if they occur. Before initiation of Rybrevant therapy, EGFR mutation status in tumour tissue or plasma specimens must be established using a validated test method. If no mutation is detected in a plasma specimen, tumour tissue should be tested if available in sufficient amount and quality due to the potential for false negative results using a plasma-test. Testing may be performed at any time from initial diagnosis 2 until the initiation of therapy; testing does not need to be repeated once EGFR mutation status has been established (see section 5.1). Posology Premedications should be administered to reduce the risk of IRRs with Rybrevant (see below “Dose modifications” and “Recommended concomitant medicinal products”). Every 3 weeks The recommended dosages of Rybrevant, when used in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed, is provided in Table 1 (see below “Infusion rates” and Table 5). Table 1: Recommended dosage of Rybrevant every 3 weeks Body weight at Rybrevant Schedule Number of baselinea dose vials Less than 80 kg 1400 mg Weekly (total of 4 doses) from Weeks 1 to 4 4 Week 1 - split infusion on Day 1 and Day 2 Weeks 2 to 4 - infusion on Day 1 1750 mg Every 3 weeks starting at Week 7 onwards 5 Greater than or 1750 mg Weekly (total of 4 doses) from Weeks 1 to 4 5 equal to 80 kg Week 1 - split infusion on Day 1 and Day 2 Weeks 2 to 4 - infusion on Day 1 2100 mg Every 3 weeks starting at Week 7 onwards 6 a Dose adjustments not required for subsequent body weight changes. When used in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed, Rybrevant should be administered after carboplatin and pemetrexed in the following order: pemetrexed, carboplatin and then Rybrevant. See section 5.1 and the manufacturer’s prescribing information for dosing instructions for carboplatin and pemetrexed. Every 2 weeks The recommended dosages of Rybrevant monotherapy is provided in Table 2 (see below “Infusion rates” and Table 6).

Duration of treatment It is recommended that patients are treated with Rybrevant until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Missed dose If a planned dose is missed, the dose should be administered as soon as possible and the dosing schedule should be adjusted accordingly, maintaining the treatment interval. 3 Dose modifications Dosing should be interrupted for Grade 3 or 4 adverse reactions until the adverse reaction resolves to ≤ Grade 1 or baseline. If an interruption is 7 days or less, restart at the current dose. If an interruption is longer than 7 days, it is recommended restarting at a reduced dose as presented in Table 3. See also specific dose modifications for specific adverse reactions below Table 3. Table 3: Recommended dose modifications for adverse reactions Dose at which the Dose after 1st Dose after 2nd Dose after 3rd adverse reaction interruption for interruption for interruption for occurred adverse reaction adverse reaction adverse reaction 1050 mg 700 mg 350 mg 1400 mg 1050 mg 700 mg Discontinue Rybrevant 1750 mg 1400 mg 1050 mg 2100 mg 1750 mg 1400 mg Infusion-related reactions Infusion should be interrupted at the first sign of IRRs. Additional supportive medicinal products (e.g., additional glucocorticoids, antihistamine, antipyretics and antiemetics) should be administered as clinically indicated (see section 4.4). Grade 1-3 (mild-severe): Upon recovery of symptoms, resume infusion at 50% of the previous rate. If there are no additional symptoms, the rate may be increased per the recommended infusion rate (see Tables 5 and 6). Concomitant medicinal products should be administered at the next dose (including dexamethasone (20 mg) or equivalent (see Table 4). Recurrent Grade 3 or Grade 4 (life-threatening): Permanently discontinue Rybrevant. Skin and nail reactions If the patient develops a Grade 1-2 skin or nail reaction, supportive care should be initiated; if there is no improvement after 2 weeks, dose reduction should be considered for persistent Grade 2 rash (see Table 3). If the patient develops a Grade 3 skin or nail reaction, supportive care should be initiated, and interruption of Rybrevant should be considered until the adverse reaction improves. Upon recovery of the skin or nail reaction to ≤ Grade 2, Rybrevant should be resumed at a reduced dose. If the patient develops Grade 4 skin reactions, permanently discontinue Rybrevant (see section 4.4). Interstitial lung disease Rybrevant should be withheld if interstitial lung disease (ILD) or ILD-like adverse reactions (pneumonitis) is suspected. If the patient is confirmed to have ILD or ILD-like adverse reactions (e.g., pneumonitis), permanently discontinue Rybrevant (see section 4.4). Recommended concomitant medicinal products Prior to infusion (Week 1, Days 1 and 2), antihistamines, antipyretics, and glucocorticoids should be administered to reduce the risk of IRRs (see Table 4). For subsequent doses, antihistamines and antipyretics are required to be administered. Glucocorticoids should also be re-initiated after prolonged dose interruptions. Antiemetics should be administered as needed. Table 4: Dosing schedule of premedications Recommended dosing window Route of prior to Rybrevant Premedication Dose administration administration Antihistamine* Diphenhydramine (25 to 50 mg) Intravenous 15 to 30 minutes or equivalent Oral 30 to 60 minutes Antipyretic* Paracetamol/Acetaminophen (650 Intravenous 15 to 30 minutes to 1000 mg) Oral 30 to 60 minutes Glucocorticoid‡ Dexamethasone (20 mg) or Intravenous 60 to 120 minutes equivalent 4 Dexamethasone (10 mg) or Glucocorticoid+ Intravenous 45 to 60 minutes equivalent * Required at all doses. ‡ Required at initial dose (Week 1, Day 1) or at the next subsequent dose in the event of an IRR. + Required at second dose (Week 1, Day 2); optional for subsequent doses. Special populations Paediatric population There is no relevant use of amivantamab in the paediatric population in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. Elderly No dose adjustments are necessary (see section 4.8, section 5.1, and section 5.2). Renal impairment No formal studies of amivantamab in patients with renal impairment have been conducted. Based on population pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses, no dose adjustment is necessary for patients with mild or moderate renal impairment. Caution is required in patients with severe renal impairment as amivantamab has not been studied in this patient population (see section 5.2). If treatment is started, patients should be monitored for adverse reactions with dose modifications per the recommendations above. Hepatic impairment No formal studies of amivantamab in patients with hepatic impairment have been conducted. Based on population PK analyses, no dose adjustment is necessary for patients with mild hepatic impairment. Caution is required in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment as amivantamab has not been studied in this patient population (see section 5.2). If treatment is started, patients should be monitored for adverse reactions with dose modifications per the recommendations above. Method of administration Rybrevant is for intravenous use. It is administered as an intravenous infusion following dilution with sterile 5% glucose solution or sodium chloride 9 mg/mL (0.9%) solution for injection. Rybrevant must be administered with in-line filtration. For instructions on dilution of the medicinal product before administration, see section 6.6. Infusion rates Following dilution, the infusion should be administered intravenously at the infusion rates presented in Table 5 or 6 below. Due to the frequency of IRRs at the first dose, amivantamab should be infused via a peripheral vein at Week 1 and Week 2; infusion via a central line may be administered for subsequent weeks when the risk of IRR is lower (see section 6.6). It is recommended for the first dose to be prepared as close to administration as possible to maximise the likelihood of completing the infusion in the event of an IRR.

Infusion-related reactions Infusion-related reactions commonly occurred in patients treated with amivantamab (see section 4.8). Prior to initial infusion (Week 1), antihistamines, antipyretics, and glucocorticoids should be administered to reduce the risk of IRRs. For subsequent doses, antihistamines and antipyretics should be administered. The initial infusion should be administered in split doses on Week 1, Day 1 and 2. Patients should be treated in a setting with appropriate medical support to treat IRRs. Infusions should be interrupted at the first sign of IRRs of any severity and post-infusion medicinal products should be administered as clinically indicated. Upon resolution of symptoms, the infusion should be resumed at 50% of the previous rate. For recurrent Grade 3 or Grade 4 IRRs, Rybrevant should be permanently discontinued (see section 4.2). 6 Interstitial lung disease Interstitial lung disease (ILD) or ILD-like adverse reactions (e.g., pneumonitis) have been reported in patients treated with amivantamab (see section 4.8). Patients should be monitored for symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis (e.g., dyspnoea, cough, fever). If symptoms develop, treatment with Rybrevant should be interrupted pending investigation of these symptoms. Suspected ILD or ILD-like adverse reactions should be evaluated and appropriate treatment should be initiated as necessary. Rybrevant should be permanently discontinued in patients with confirmed ILD or ILD-like adverse reactions (see section 4.2). Skin and nail reactions Rash (including dermatitis acneiform), pruritus and dry skin occurred in patients treated with amivantamab (see section 4.8). Patients should be instructed to limit sun exposure during and for 2 months after Rybrevant therapy. Protective clothing and use of broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen are advisable. Alcohol-free emollient cream is recommended for dry areas. A prophylactic approach to rash prevention should be considered. If skin reactions develop, topical corticosteroids and topical and/or oral antibiotics should be administered. For Grade 3 or poorly-tolerated Grade 2 events, systemic antibiotics and oral steroids should also be administered. Patients presenting with severe rash that has an atypical appearance or distribution or lack improvement within 2 weeks should be referred promptly to a dermatologist. Rybrevant should be dose reduced, interrupted, or permanently discontinued based on severity (see section 4.2). Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) has been reported. Treatment with this medicinal product should be discontinued if TEN is confirmed. Eye disorders Eye disorders, including keratitis, occurred in patients treated with amivantamab (see section 4.8). Patients presenting with worsening eye symptoms should promptly be referred to an ophthalmologist and should discontinue use of contact lenses until symptoms are evaluated. For dose modifications for Grade 3 or 4 eye disorders, see section 4.2. Sodium content This medicinal product contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) sodium per dose, that is to say essentially “sodium-free”. This medicinal product may be diluted in sodium chloride 9 mg/mL (0.9%) solution for infusion. This should be taken into consideration for patients on a controlled sodium diet (see section 6.6). 4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction No drug interaction studies have been performed. As an IgG1 monoclonal antibody, renal excretion and hepatic enzyme-mediated metabolism of intact amivantamab are unlikely to be major elimination routes. As such, variations in drug-metabolising enzymes are not expected to affect the elimination of amivantamab. Due to the high affinity to a unique epitope on EGFR and MET, amivantamab is not anticipated to alter drug-metabolising enzymes. Vaccines No clinical data are available on the efficacy and safety of vaccinations in patients taking amivantamab. Avoid the use of live or live-attenuated vaccines while patients are taking amivantamab. 4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation Women of child-bearing potential/Contraception Women of child-bearing potential should use effective contraception during and for 3 months after cessation of amivantamab treatment. 7 Pregnancy There are no human data to assess the risk of amivantamab use during pregnancy. No animal reproductive studies were conducted to inform a drug-associated risk. Administration of EGFR and MET inhibitor molecules in pregnant animals resulted in an increased incidence of impairment of embryo-foetal development, embryo lethality, and abortion. Therefore, based on its mechanism of action and findings in animal models, amivantamab could cause foetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Amivantamab should not be given during pregnancy unless the benefit of treatment of the woman is considered to outweigh potential risks to the foetus. If the patient becomes pregnant while taking this medicinal product the patient should be informed of the potential risk to the foetus (see section 5.3). Breast-feeding It is unknown whether amivantamab is excreted in human milk. Human IgGs are known to be excreted in breast milk during the first few days after birth, which is decreasing to low concentrations soon afterwards. A risk to the breast-fed child cannot be excluded during this short period just after birth, although IgGs are likely to be degraded in the gastrointestinal tract of the breast-fed child and not absorbed. A decision must be made whether to discontinue breast-feeding or to discontinue/abstain from amivantamab therapy taking into account the benefit of breast-feeding for the child and the benefit of therapy for the woman. Fertility There are no data on the effect of amivantamab on human fertility. Effects on male and female fertility have not been evaluated in animal studies. 4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines Rybrevant may have moderate influence on the ability to drive and use machines. Please see section 4.8 (e.g., dizziness, fatigue, visual impairment). If patients experience treatment-related symptoms, including vision-related adverse reactions, affecting their ability to concentrate and react, it is recommended that they do not drive or use machines until the effect subsides. 4.8 Undesirable effects Summary of the safety profile In the dataset of amivantamab as monotherapy (N=380), the most frequent adverse reactions in all grades were rash (76%), infusion-related reactions (67%), nail toxicity (47%), hypoalbuminaemia (31%), oedema (26%), fatigue (26%), stomatitis (24%), nausea (23%), and constipation (23%). Serious adverse reactions included ILD (1.3%), IRR (1.1%), and rash (1.1%). Three percent of patients discontinued Rybrevant due to adverse reactions.

Serious adverse reactions included rash (2.7%), venous thromboembolism (2.3%), thrombocytopenia (2.3%) and ILD (2.0%). Eight percent of patients 9 discontinued Rybrevant due to adverse reactions. The most frequent adverse reactions leading to treatment discontinuation were IRR (2.7%), rash (2.3%), ILD (2.3%), and nail toxicity (1.0%). Table 8 summarises the adverse drug reactions that occurred in patients receiving amivantamab in combination with chemotherapy. The data reflects exposure to amivantamab in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed in 301 patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. Patients received amivantamab 1400 mg (for patients < 80 kg) or 1750 mg (for patients ≥ 80 kg) weekly for 4 weeks. Starting at Week 7, patients received amivantamab 1750 mg (for patients < 80 kg) or 2100 mg (for patients ≥ 80 kg) every 3 weeks. The median exposure to amivantamab in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed was 7.7 months (range: 0.0 to 28.1 months). Adverse reactions observed during clinical studies are listed below by frequency category. Frequency categories are defined as follows: very common (≥ 1/10); common (≥ 1/100 to < 1/10); uncommon (≥ 1/1000 to < 1/100); rare (≥ 1/10000 to < 1/1000); very rare (< 1/10000); and not known (frequency cannot be estimated from the available data). Within each frequency grouping, adverse reactions are presented in the order of decreasing seriousness.

Ninety-eight percent of IRRs were Grade 1-2. Ninety-nine percent of IRRs occurred at the first infusion with a median time to onset of 60 minutes, and the majority occurring within 2 hours of infusion start. The most frequent signs and symptoms include chills, dyspnoea, nausea, flushing, chest discomfort, and vomiting (see section 4.4). In patients treated with amivantamab in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed, infusion-related reactions occurred in 50% of patients. Greater than 94% of IRRs were Grade 1-2. A majority of IRRs occurred at the first infusion with a median time to onset of 60 minutes (range 0-7 hours), and the majority occurring within 2 hours of infusion start. Occasionally an IRR can occur at re-initiation of amivantamab after prolonged dose interruptions of more than 6 weeks. Interstitial lung disease Interstitial lung disease or ILD-like adverse reactions have been reported with the use of amivantamab as well as with other EGFR inhibitors. Interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis was reported in 2.6% of patients treated with amivantamab monotherapy and 2.3 % of patients treated with amivantamab in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed. Patients with a medical history of ILD, drug-induced ILD, radiation pneumonitis that required steroid treatment, or any evidence of clinically active ILD were excluded from the clinical study (see section 4.4). Skin and nail reactions Rash (including dermatitis acneiform), pruritus, and dry skin occurred in 86% of patients treated with amivantamab alone. Most cases were Grade 1 or 2, with Grade 3 rash events occurring in 3% of patients. Rash leading to amivantamab discontinuation occurred in 0.3% of patients. Rash usually developed within the first 4 weeks of therapy, with a median time to onset of 14 days. Nail toxicity occurred in patients treated with amivantamab. Most events were Grade 1 or 2, with Grade 3 nail toxicity occurring in 1.8% of patients. Rash (including dermatitis acneiform), occurred in 83% of patients treated with amivantamab in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed. Most cases were Grade 1 or 2, with Grade 3 rash events occurring in 14% of patients. Rash leading to amivantamab discontinuation occurred in 2.3% of patients. Rash usually developed within the first 4 weeks of therapy, with a median time to onset of 14 days. Nail toxicity occurred in patients treated with amivantamab in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed. Most events were Grade 1 or 2, with Grade 3 nail toxicity occurring in 4.3% of patients (see section 4.4). 11 Eye disorders Eye disorders, including keratitis (0.5%), occurred in 9% of patients treated with amivantamab alone. Other reported adverse reactions included growth of eyelashes, visual impairment, and other eye disorders. All events were Grade 1-2. Eye disorders, including keratitis (0.3%), occurred in 11% of patients treated with amivantamab in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed. Other reported adverse reactions included growth of eyelashes, visual impairment, uveitis, and other eye disorders. All events were Grade 1-2 (see section 4.4). Other special populations Elderly There are limited clinical data with amivantamab in patients 75 years of age or over (see section 5.1). No overall differences in safety were observed between patients ≥ 65 years of age and patients < 65 years of age. Immunogenicity As with all therapeutic proteins, there is the potential for immunogenicity. In clinical studies of patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC treated with amivantamab, 4 of the 865 (0.5%) participants who were treated with Rybrevant and evaluable for the presence of anti-drug antibodies (ADA), tested positive for treatment-emergent anti-amivantamab antibodies. There was no evidence of an altered pharmacokinetic, efficacy, or safety profile due to anti-amivantamab antibodies. Reporting of suspected adverse reactions Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting system listed in Appendix V. 4.9 Overdose No maximum tolerated dose has been determined in a clinical study in which patients received up to 2100 mg administered intravenously. There is no known specific antidote for amivantamab overdose. In the event of an overdose, treatment with Rybrevant should be stopped, the patient should be monitored for any signs or symptoms of adverse events and appropriate general supportive measures should be instituted immediately until clinical toxicity has diminished or resolved. 5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES 5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties Pharmacotherapeutic group: Monoclonal antibodies and antibody drug conjugates, ATC code: L01FX18. Mechanism of action Amivantamab is a low-fucose, fully-human IgG1-based EGFR-MET bispecific antibody with immune cell-directing activity that targets tumours with activating EGFR mutations such as Exon 19 deletions, L858R substitution, and Exon 20 insertion mutations. Amivantamab binds to the extracellular domains of EGFR and MET. Amivantamab disrupts EGFR and MET signalling functions through blocking ligand binding and enhancing degradation of EGFR and MET, thereby preventing tumour growth and progression. The presence of EGFR and MET on the surface of tumour cells also allows for targeting of these cells for destruction by immune effector cells, such as natural killer cells and macrophages, through antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and trogocytosis mechanisms, respectively. 12 Pharmacodynamic effects Albumin Amivantamab decreased serum albumin concentration, a pharmacodynamic effect of MET inhibition, typically during the first 8 weeks (see section 4.8); thereafter, albumin concentration stabilised for the remainder of amivantamab treatment. Clinical efficacy and safety Previously treated NSCLC with EGFR Exon 19 deletions or Exon 21 L858R substitution mutations (MARIPOSA-2) MARIPOSA-2 is a randomised (2:2:1) open-label, multicentre Phase 3 study in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR Exon 19 deletions or Exon 21 L858R substitution mutations (mutation testing could have been performed at or after the time of locally advanced or metastatic disease diagnosis. Testing did not need to be repeated at the time of study entry once EGFR mutation status was previously established) after failure of prior therapy including a third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). A total of 657 patients were randomised in the study, of which 263 received carboplatin and pemetrexed (CP); and 131 which received Rybrevant in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed (Rybrevant-CP). Additionally, 236 patients were randomised to receive Rybrevant in combination with lazertinib, carboplatin, and pemetrexed in a separate arm of the study. Rybrevant was administered intravenously at 1400 mg (for patients < 80 kg) or 1750 mg (for patients ≥ 80 kg) once weekly through 4 weeks, then every 3 weeks with a dose of 1750 mg (for patients < 80 kg) or 2100 mg (for patients ≥ 80 kg) starting at Week 7 until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Carboplatin was administered intravenously at area under the concentration-time curve 5 mg/mL per minute (AUC 5) once every 3 weeks, for up to 12 weeks. Pemetrexed was administered intravenously at 500 mg/m2 on once every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients were stratified by osimertinib line of therapy (first-line or second-line), prior brain metastases (yes or no), and Asian race (yes or no). Of the 394 patients randomised to the Rybrevant-CP arm or CP arm, the median age was 62 (range: 31-85) years, with 38% of the patients ≥ 65 years of age; 60% were female; and 48% were Asian and 46% were White. Baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status was 0 (40%) or 1 (60%); 66% never smoked; 45% had history of brain metastasis, and 92% had Stage IV cancer at initial diagnosis. Rybrevant in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) compared to carboplatin and pemetrexed, with a HR of 0.48 (95% CI: 0.36, 0.64; p<0.0001). At the time of the second interim analysis for OS, with a median follow-up of approximately 18.6 months for Rybrevant-CP and approximately 17.8 months for CP, the OS HR was 0.73 (95%CI: 0.54, 0.99; p=0.0386). This was not statistically significant (tested at a prespecified significance level of 0.0142). Efficacy results are summarised in Table 9.

Thus the OS results are not significant as of the second interim analysis. Figure 1: Kaplan-Meier curve of PFS in previously treated NSCLC patients by BICR assessment The PFS benefit of Rybrevant-CP compared to CP was consistent across all the predefined subgroups analysed, including ethnicity, age, gender, smoking history, and CNS metastases status at study entry. 14 Figure 2: Kaplan-Meier curve of OS in previously treated NSCLC patients Intracranial metastases efficacy data Patients with asymptomatic or previously treated and stable intracranial metastases were eligible to be randomised in MARIPOSA-2. Treatment with Rybrevant-CP was associated with a numeric increase in intracranial ORR (23.3% for Rybrevant-CP versus 16.7% for CP, odds ratio of 1.52; 95% CI (0.51, 4.50), and intracranial DOR (13.3 months; 95% CI (1.4, NE) in the Rybrevant-CP arm compared with 2.2 months; 95% CI (1.4, NE) in the CP arm). The median follow-up for Rybrevant-CP was approximately 18.6 months. Previously-untreated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with Exon 20 insertion mutations (PAPILLON) PAPILLON is a randomised, open-label, multicentre Phase 3 study comparing treatment with Rybrevant in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed to chemotherapy alone (carboplatin and pemetrexed) in patients with treatment-naïve, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with activating EGFR Exon 20 insertion mutations. Tumour tissue (92.2%) and/or plasma (7.8%) samples for all 308 patients were tested locally to determine EGFR Exon 20 insertion mutation status using next generation sequencing (NGS) in 55.5% of patients and/or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 44.5% of patients. Central testing was also performed using the AmoyDx® LC10 tissue test, Thermo Fisher Oncomine Dx Target Test, and the Guardant 360® CDx plasma test. Patients with brain metastases at screening were eligible for participation once they were definitively treated, clinically stable, asymptomatic, and off corticosteroid treatment for at least 2 weeks prior to randomisation. Rybrevant was administered intravenously at 1400 mg (for patients < 80 kg) or 1750 mg (for patients ≥ 80 kg) once weekly through 4 weeks, then every 3 weeks with a dose of 1750 mg (for patients < 80 kg) or 2100 mg (for patients ≥ 80 kg) starting at Week 7 until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Carboplatin was administered intravenously at area under the concentration- time curve 5 mg/mL per minute (AUC 5) once every 3 weeks, for up to 12 weeks. Pemetrexed was administered intravenously at 500 mg/m2 on once every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Randomisation was stratified by ECOG performance status (0 or 1), and prior brain metastases (yes or no). Patients randomised to the carboplatin and pemetrexed arm who had confirmed disease progression were permitted to cross over to receive Rybrevant monotherapy. 15 A total of 308 subjects were randomised (1:1) to Rybrevant in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed (N=153) or carboplatin and pemetrexed (N=155). The median age was 62 (range: 27 to 92) years, with 39% of the subjects ≥ 65 years of age; 58% were female; and 61% were Asian and 36% were White. Baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status was 0 (35%) or 1 (64%); 58% never smoked; 23% had history of brain metastasis and 84% had Stage IV cancer at initial diagnosis. The primary endpoint for PAPILLON was PFS, as assessed by BICR. The median follow-up was14.9 months (range: 0.3 to 27.0). Efficacy results are summarised in Table 10.

The OS analysis was not adjusted for the potentially confounding effects of crossover (78 [50.3%] patients on the carboplatin + pemetrexed arm who received subsequent Rybrevant monotherapy treatment). 16 Figure 3: Kaplan-Meier curve of PFS in previously untreated NSCLC patients by BICR assessment The PFS benefit of Rybrevant in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed compared to carboplatin and pemetrexed was consistent across all the predefined subgroups of brain metastases at study entry (yes or no), age (< 65 or ≥ 65), sex (male or female), race (Asian or non-Asian), weight (< 80 kg or ≥ 80 kg), ECOG performance status (0 or 1), and smoking history (yes or no). Figure 4: Kaplan-Meier curve of OS in previously untreated NSCLC patients by BICR assessment Previously-treated non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) with Exon 20 insertion mutations (CHRYSALIS) CHRYSALIS is a multicentre, open-label, multi-cohort study conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of Rybrevant in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. Efficacy was evaluated in 114 patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who had EGFR Exon 20 insertion mutations, whose disease had progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy, and who had a median follow-up of 12.5 months. Tumour tissue (93%) and/or plasma (10%) samples for all patients were tested locally to determine EGFR Exon 20 insertion mutation status using next generation 17 sequencing (NGS) in 46% of patients and/or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 41% of patients; for 4% of patients, the testing methods were not specified. Patients with untreated brain metastases or a history of ILD requiring treatment with prolonged steroids or other immunosuppressive agents within the last 2 years were not eligible for the study. Rybrevant was administered intravenously at 1050 mg for patients < 80 kg or 1400 mg for patients ≥ 80 kg once weekly for 4 weeks, then every 2 weeks starting at Week 5 until loss of clinical benefit or unacceptable toxicity. The primary efficacy endpoint was investigator-assessed overall response rate (ORR), defined as confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on RECIST v1.1. In addition, the primary endpoint was assessed by a blinded independent central review (BICR). Secondary efficacy endpoints included duration of response (DOR). The median age was 62 (range: 36–84) years, with 41% of the patients ≥ 65 years of age; 61% were female; and 52% were Asian and 37% were White. The median number of prior therapies was 2 (range: 1 to 7 therapies). At baseline, 29% had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 and 70% had ECOG performance status of 1; 57% never smoked; 100% had Stage IV cancer; and 25% had previous treatment for brain metastases. Insertions in Exon 20 were observed at 8 different residues; the most common residues were A767 (22%), S768 (16%), D770 (12%), and N771 (11%). Efficacy results are summarised in Table 11.

Anti-tumour activity was observed across studied mutation subtypes. Elderly No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between patients ≥ 65 years of age and patients < 65 years of age. Paediatric population The European Medicines Agency has waived the obligation to submit the results of studies with Rybrevant in all subsets of the paediatric population in non-small cell lung cancer (see section 4.2 for information on paediatric use). 5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties Based on Rybrevant monotherapy data, amivantamab area under the concentration-time curve (AUC1 week) increases proportionally over a dose range from 350 to 1750 mg. Based on simulations from the population pharmacokinetic model, AUC1 week was approximately 2.8-fold higher after the fifth dose for the 2-week dosing regimen and 2.6-fold higher after the fourth 18 dose for the 3-week dosing regimen. Steady-state concentrations of amivantamab were reached by Week 13 for both the 3-week and 2-week dosing regimen and the systemic accumulation was 1.9-fold. Distribution Based on the individual amivantamab PK parameter estimates in population PK analysis, the geometric mean (CV%) total volume of distribution, is 5.12 (27.8%) L, following administration of the recommended dose of Rybrevant. Elimination Based on the individual amivantamab PK parameter estimates in population PK analysis, the geometric mean (CV%) linear clearance (CL) and terminal half-life associated with linear clearance is 0.266 (30.4%) L/day and 13.7 (31.9%) days respectively. Special populations Elderly No clinically meaningful differences in the pharmacokinetics of amivantamab were observed based on age (27-87 years). Renal impairment No clinically meaningful effect on the pharmacokinetics of amivantamab was observed in patients with mild (60 ≤ creatinine clearance [CrCl] < 90 mL/min) and moderate (29 ≤ CrCl < 60 mL/min) renal impairment. The effect of severe renal impairment (15 ≤ CrCl < 29 mL/min) on amivantamab pharmacokinetics is unknown. Hepatic impairment Changes in hepatic function are unlikely to have any effect on the elimination of amivantamab since IgG1-based molecules such as amivantamab are not metabolised through hepatic pathways. No clinically meaningful effect in the pharmacokinetics of amivantamab was observed based on mild hepatic impairment [(total bilirubin ≤ ULN and AST > ULN) or (ULN < total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN)]. The effect of moderate (total bilirubin 1.5 to 3 times ULN) and severe (total bilirubin > 3 times ULN) hepatic impairment on amivantamab pharmacokinetics is unknown. Paediatric population The pharmacokinetics of Rybrevant in paediatric patients have not been investigated. 5.3 Preclinical safety data Non-clinical data reveal no special hazard for humans based on conventional studies of repeated dose toxicity. Carcinogenicity and mutagenicity No animal studies have been performed to establish the carcinogenic potential of amivantamab. Routine genotoxicity and carcinogenicity studies are generally not applicable to biologic pharmaceuticals as large proteins cannot diffuse into cells and cannot interact with DNA or chromosomal material. Reproductive toxicology No animal studies have been conducted to evaluate the effects on reproduction and foetal development; however, based on its mechanism of action, amivantamab can cause foetal harm or developmental anomalies. As reported in the literature, reduction, elimination, or disruption of embryo foetal or maternal EGFR signaling can prevent implantation, cause embryo foetal loss during various stages of gestation (through effects on placental development), cause developmental anomalies in multiple organs or early death in surviving foetuses. Similarly, knock out of MET or its ligand 19 hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) was embryonic lethal due to severe defects in placental development, and foetuses displayed defects in muscle development in multiple organs. Human IgG1 is known to cross the placenta; therefore, amivantamab has the potential to be transmitted from the mother to the developing foetus. 6.

Store in the original package 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 7 mL concentrate in a Type 1 glass vial with an elastomeric closure and aluminium seal with a flip-off cap containing 350 mg amivantamab. Pack size of 1 vial. 6.6 Special precautions for disposal and other handling Prepare the solution for intravenous infusion using aseptic technique as follows: Preparation Determine the dose required and the number of Rybrevant vials needed based on patient’s baseline weight (see section 4.2). Each vial contains 350 mg of amivantamab. For every 2-week dosing, patients < 80 kg receive 1050 mg and for patients ≥ 80 kg, 1400 mg once weekly for a total of 4 doses, then every 2 weeks starting at Week 5. 20 For every 3-week dosing, patients < 80 kg receive 1400 mg once weekly for a total of 4 doses, then 1750 mg every 3 weeks starting at Week 7, and for patients ≥ 80 kg, 1750 mg once weekly for a total of 4 doses, then 2100 mg every 3 weeks starting at Week 7. Check that the Rybrevant solution is colourless to pale yellow. Do not use if discolouration or visible particles are present. Withdraw and then discard a volume of either 5% glucose solution or sodium chloride 9 mg/mL (0.9%) solution for injection from the 250 mL infusion bag that is equal to the required volume of Rybrevant solution to be added (discard 7 mL diluent from the infusion bag for each vial). Infusion bags must be made of polyvinylchloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), or polyolefin blend (PP+PE). Withdraw 7 mL of Rybrevant from each vial needed then add it to the infusion bag. Each vial contains a 0.5 mL overfill to ensure sufficient extractable volume. 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. Visually inspect for particulate matter and discolouration prior to administration. Do not use if discolouration or visible particles are observed. Administration Administer the diluted solution 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 0.22 or 0.2 micrometer). Administration sets must be made of either polyurethane (PU), polybutadiene (PBD), PVC, PP, or PE. The administration set with filter must be primed with either 5% glucose solution or 0.9% sodium chloride solution prior to the initiation of each Rybrevant infusion. Do not infuse Rybrevant concomitantly in the same intravenous line with other agents. The diluted solution should be administered within 10 hours (including infusion time) at room temperature (15°C to 25°C) and in room light. Due to the frequency of IRRs at the first dose, amivantamab should be infused via a peripheral vein at Week 1 and Week 2; infusion via a central line may be administered for subsequent weeks when the risk of IRR is lower. See infusion rates in section 4.2. Disposal This medicinal product is for single use only and any unused medicinal product that is not administered within 10 hours should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements. 7.

How to store Rybrevant 6. Contents of the pack and other information 1. What Rybrevant is and what it is used for What Rybrevant is Rybrevant is a cancer medicine. It contains the active substance ‘amivantamab’, which is an antibody (type of protein) designed to recognise and attach to specific targets in the body. What Rybrevant is used for Rybrevant is used in adults with a type of lung cancer called ‘non-small cell lung cancer’. It is used when the cancer has spread to other parts of your body and has gone through certain changes in a gene called ‘EGFR’. Rybrevant can be prescribed for you: in combination with chemotherapy after failure of prior therapy including an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). as the first medicine you receive for your cancer in combination with chemotherapy, or when chemotherapy is no longer working against your cancer. How Rybrevant works The active substance in Rybrevant, amivantamab, targets two proteins found on cancer cells: epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET). This medicine works by attaching to these proteins. This may help to slow or stop your lung cancer from growing. It may also help to reduce the size of the tumour. Rybrevant may be given in combination with other anti-cancer medicines. It is important that you also read the package leaflets for these other medicines. If you have any questions about these medicines, ask your doctor. 31 2.

Other sources of information Detailed information on this medicine is available on the European Medicines Agency web site https://www.ema.europa.eu. 38 The following information is intended for healthcare professionals only: This medicinal product must not be mixed with other medicinal products except those mentioned below. Prepare the solution for intravenous infusion using aseptic technique as follows: Preparation Determine the dose required and the number of Rybrevant vials needed based on patient’s baseline weight. Each vial of Rybrevant contains 350 mg of amivantamab. For every 2-week dosing, patients < 80 kg receive 1050 mg and for patients ≥ 80 kg, 1400 mg once weekly for a total of 4 doses, then every 2 weeks starting at Week 5. For every 3-week dosing, patients < 80 kg receive 1400 mg once weekly for a total of 4 doses, then 1750 mg every 3 weeks starting at Week 7, and for patients ≥ 80 kg, 1750 mg once weekly for a total of 4 doses, then 2100 mg every 3 weeks starting at Week 7. Check that the Rybrevant solution is colourless to pale yellow. Do not use if discolouration or visible particles are present. Withdraw and then discard a volume of either 5% glucose solution or sodium chloride 9 mg/mL (0.9%) solution for injection from the 250 mL infusion bag that is equal to the required volume of Rybrevant solution to be added (discard 7 mL diluent from the infusion bag for each vial). Infusion bags must be made of polyvinylchloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), or polyolefin blend (PP+PE). Withdraw 7 mL of Rybrevant from each vial needed then add it to the infusion bag. Each vial contains a 0.5 mL overfill to ensure sufficient extractable volume. 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. Visually inspect for particulate matter and discolouration prior to administration. Do not use if discolouration or visible particles are observed. Administration Administer the diluted solution 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 0.22 or 0.2 micrometer). Administration sets must be made of either polyurethane (PU), polybutadiene (PBD), PVC, PP, or PE. The administration set with filter must be primed with either 5% glucose solution or 0.9% sodium chloride solution prior to the initiation of each Rybrevant infusion. Do not infuse Rybrevant concomitantly in the same intravenous line with other agents. The diluted solution should be administered within 10 hours (including infusion time) at room temperature (15°C to 25°C) and in room light. Due to the frequency of IRRs at the first dose, amivantamab should be infused via a peripheral vein at Week 1 and Week 2; infusion via a central line may be administered for subsequent weeks when the risk of IRR is lower. Disposal This medicinal product is for single use only and any unused medicinal product that is not administered within 10 hours should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements. 39.9

About Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
In Europe, it is estimated that 484,306 people were diagnosed with lung cancer in 2022.13 NSCLC accounts for 85 percent of all lung cancer cases.14 Lung cancer is Europe’s biggest cancer killer, with more deaths than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined.13
The main subtypes of NSCLC are adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and large cell carcinoma.13 Among the most common driver mutations in NSCLC are alterations in EGFR, which is a receptor tyrosine kinase controlling cell growth and division.14,15 EGFR mutations are present in 10 to 15 percent of Western patients with NSCLC with adenocarcinoma histology and occur in 40 to 50 percent of Asian patients.16,17,18,19 EGFR ex19del or EGFR exon 21 L858R mutations are the most common EGFR mutations.20 The five-year survival rate for patients with advanced NSCLC and EGFR mutations treated with EGFR TKIs is less than 20 percent and between 25-32 percent of patients receiving the current first-line standard of care, osimertinib, do not survive long enough to reach second-line treatment.21,22,23
