2.5 Preparation and Administration
Preparation
Use aseptic technique to prepare LUNSUMIO.
- Inspect the vial visually for any particulate matter, prior to administration. Do not use if the solution is discolored, or cloudy, or if foreign particles are present.
- Determine the dose, the total volume of LUNSUMIO solution required, and the number of LUNSUMIO vials needed.
Dilution
- Withdraw the volume from an infusion bag of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP or 0.45% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP equal to the volume of the LUNSUMIO required for the patient's dose and discard. Only use infusion bags made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyolefin (PO) such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP).
-
Withdraw the required volume of LUNSUMIO from the vial using a sterile needle and syringe and dilute into the infusion bag of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP or 0.45% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP according to
Table 7 . Discard any unused portion left in the vial.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
5.1 Cytokine Release Syndrome
LUNSUMIO can cause CRS, including serious or life-threatening reactions [see
The median time to onset of CRS from the start of administration of LUNSUMIO in Cycle 1 Day 1 was 5 hours (range: 1 hour to 3 days), Cycle 1 Day 8 was 28 hours (range: 5 hours to 3 days), Cycle 1 Day 15 was 25 hours (range: 0.1 hours to 16 days), and Cycle 2 Day 1 was 46 hours (range: 12 hours to 3 days). The median duration of CRS was 3 days (range: 1 to 29 days).
Clinical signs and symptoms of CRS included, but were not limited to, fever, chills, hypotension, tachycardia, hypoxia, and headache. Concurrent neurologic adverse reactions occurred in 6% of patients and included but were not limited to headache, confusional state, and anxiety.
Initiate therapy according to LUNSUMIO 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 accordingly [see
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 based on severity [see
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 can cause serious and life-threatening neurologic toxicity, including immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) [see
Neurologic toxicity occurred in 39% of patients who received LUNSUMIO at the recommended dosage in the clinical trial, with Grade 3 neurologic toxicity occurring in 3% of patients. The most frequent neurologic toxicities were headache (21%), peripheral neuropathy (13%), dizziness (11%) and mental status changes (6%, including confusional state, disturbance in attention, cognitive disorder, delirium, encephalopathy, and somnolence). ICANS was reported in 1% of patients (Grade 1: 0.5%, Grade 2: 0.5%) who received LUNSUMIO at the recommended dosage in the clinical trial.
Across a broader clinical trial population, ICANS or suspected ICANS occurred in 2.2% (21/949) of patients who received LUNSUMIO or LUNSUMIO VELO. The most frequent manifestations included confusional state and lethargy. Twenty patients had Grade 1-2 events and 1 patient had a Grade 3 event. The majority of cases (75%) occurred during the first cycle of treatment. The median time to onset was 17 days (range: 1 to 48 days). In total, 88% of cases resolved after a median duration of 3 days (range: 1 to 20 days).
Coadministration of LUNSUMIO with other products that cause dizziness or mental status changes may increase the risk of neurologic toxicity.
Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of neurologic toxicity during treatment. At the first sign of neurologic toxicity, including ICANS, immediately evaluate the patient, consider neurology evaluation as appropriate, and provide supportive therapy based on severity; withhold or permanently discontinue LUNSUMIO based on severity and follow management recommendations [see
Patients who experience neurologic toxicity such as tremors, dizziness, insomnia, severe neurotoxicity, or any other adverse reactions that impair consciousness should be evaluated, including potential neurology evaluation, and patients at increased risk should be advised not to drive and to refrain from operating heavy or potentially dangerous machinery until resolution.
5.3 Infections
LUNSUMIO can cause serious or fatal infections [see
Among patients who received LUNSUMIO at the recommended dosage in the clinical trial, serious infections, including opportunistic infections, occurred in 17%, with Grade 3 or 4 infections in 14% and fatal infections in 0.9% of patients. The most common Grade 3 or greater infections were pneumonia, sepsis, and upper respiratory infection.
Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection prior to and during treatment with LUNSUMIO and treat appropriately. LUNSUMIO should not be administered in the presence of active infection. Caution should be exercised when considering the use of LUNSUMIO in patients with a history of recurring or chronic infections (e.g., chronic, active Epstein-Barr Virus), with underlying conditions that may predispose to infections or who have had significant prior immunosuppressive treatment. Administer prophylactic antimicrobials according to guidelines.
Withhold LUNSUMIO or consider permanent discontinuation of LUNSUMIO based on severity [see
5.4 Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis
LUNSUMIO can cause fatal or serious hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). HLH is a potentially life-threatening, hyperinflammatory syndrome that is independent of CRS. Common manifestations include fever, elevated ferritin, hemophagocytosis, cytopenias, coagulopathy, hepatitis, and splenomegaly.
Across a broader clinical trial population, HLH occurred in 0.5% (7/1536) of patients. Most cases (5/7) were identified within the first 28 days following initiation of LUNSUMIO or LUNSUMIO VELO, with 3 cases preceded by diagnosed or suspected CRS. Of the 7 cases of HLH, 6 had fatal outcomes, with 2 deaths from HLH alone and 4 deaths with concurrent unresolved HLH. Of the 7 cases of HLH, 4 occurred in the context of concurrent EBV and/or CMV infection.
Monitor for clinical signs and symptoms of HLH. Consider HLH when the presentation of CRS is atypical or prolonged, or when there are features of macrophage activation. For suspected HLH, interrupt LUNSUMIO and evaluate and treat promptly for HLH per current practice guidelines.
5.5 Cytopenias
Monitor complete blood counts throughout treatment. Based on the severity of cytopenias, temporarily withhold, or permanently discontinue LUNSUMIO. Consider prophylactic granulocyte colony-stimulating factor administration as applicable [see
5.6 Tumor Flare
LUNSUMIO can cause serious or severe tumor flare [see
Among patients who received LUNSUMIO at the recommended dosage in the clinical trial, tumor flare occurred in 4%. Manifestations included new or worsening pleural effusions, localized pain and swelling at the sites of lymphoma lesions, and tumor inflammation.
Patients with bulky tumors or disease located in close proximity to airways or a vital organ should be monitored closely during initial therapy. Monitor for signs and symptoms of compression or obstruction due to mass effect secondary to tumor flare. If compression or obstruction develops, institute standard treatment of these complications.
5.7 Risk of Medication Errors with Incorrect Product Use
5.8 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
Based on its mechanism of action, LUNSUMIO may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with LUNSUMIO and for 3 months after the last dose [see

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.
The pooled safety population described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflects exposure to LUNSUMIO as a single agent in GO29781 in 218 patients with hematologic malignancies in an open-label, multicenter, multi-cohort study. Patients received step-up doses of 1 mg on Cycle 1 Day 1 and 2 mg on Cycle 1 Day 8, followed by 60 mg on Cycle 1 Day 15, and 60 mg on Cycle 2 Day 1, then 30 mg every 3 weeks in subsequent cycles. Each treatment cycle was 21 days. Among 218 patients who received LUNSUMIO, 52% were exposed for at least 8 cycles and 8% were exposed for 17 cycles.
In this pooled safety population, the most common (≥ 20%) adverse reactions were CRS (39%), fatigue (36%), rash (34%), pyrexia (24%), and headache (21%). The most common Grade 3 to 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥ 10%) were decreased lymphocyte count (92%), decreased phosphate (41%), increased glucose (40%), decreased neutrophil count (38%), decreased hemoglobin (19%), increased uric acid (15%), and decreased platelets (12%).
Relapsed or Refractory Follicular Lymphoma
The safety of LUNSUMIO was evaluated in GO29781, an open-label, multicenter, multi-cohort study which included a cohort of 90 patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) [see
The median age was 60 years (range: 29 to 90 years), 61% were male, 82% were White, 4% were Black or African American, 9% were Asian, and 8% were Hispanic or Latino.
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 47% of patients who received LUNSUMIO. Serious adverse reactions in ≥ 2% of patients included CRS, infection (including sepsis, pneumonia, urinary tract infection, EBV viremia, COVID-19, and upper respiratory tract infection), renal insufficiency, pyrexia, and tumor flare.
Permanent discontinuation of LUNSUMIO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 3% of patients. Adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation of LUNSUMIO included CRS and EBV viremia.
Dosage interruptions of LUNSUMIO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 37% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in ≥ 5% of patients included neutropenia, infection, and CRS.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS
Effect of LUNSUMIO on CYP450 Substrates
LUNSUMIO causes release of cytokines [see
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1 Pregnancy
Risk Summary
Based on the mechanism of action, LUNSUMIO may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see
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 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 and for 3 months after the last dose.
8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential
LUNSUMIO may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see
Pregnancy Testing
Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating LUNSUMIO.
Contraception
Females
Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with LUNSUMIO and for 3 months after the last dose.
8.4 Pediatric Use
The safety and efficacy of LUNSUMIO have not been established in pediatric patients.
8.5 Geriatric Use
Among the 90 patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma treated with LUNSUMIO, 33% were 65 years of age or older, and 8% were 75 years of age or older. There is an insufficient number of patients 65 years of age or older and 75 years of age or older to assess whether there are differences in safety or effectiveness in patients 65 years of age and older compared to younger adult patients.
11 DESCRIPTION
Mosunetuzumab-axgb is a bispecific CD20-directed CD3 T-cell engager. It is a humanized monoclonal anti-CD20xCD3 T-cell-dependent bispecific antibody of the immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) isotype. Mosunetuzumab-axgb is produced in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells by recombinant DNA technology. The approximate molecular weight is 146 kDa.
LUNSUMIO (mosunetuzumab-axgb) injection is a sterile, preservative-free, colorless solution for intravenous use.
Each single-dose vial contains a 1 mL solution of mosunetuzumab-axgb (1 mg), acetic acid (0.4 mg), histidine (1.6 mg), methionine (1.5 mg), polysorbate 20 (0.6 mg), sucrose (82.1 mg), and Water for Injection, USP. The pH is 5.8.
Each single-dose vial contains a 30 mL solution of mosunetuzumab-axgb (30 mg), acetic acid (12.8 mg), histidine (46.6 mg), methionine (44.8 mg), polysorbate 20 (18 mg), sucrose (2,462.4 mg), and Water for Injection, USP. The pH is 5.8.
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
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.
12.2 Pharmacodynamics
After intravenous administration of the recommended dosage of LUNSUMIO, peripheral B-cell counts decreased to undetectable levels (< 5 cells/microliter) in most patients (95%) by Cycle 2 Day 1 and the depletion was sustained at later cycles including at Cycle 4 and Cycle 8.
LUNSUMIO caused hypogammaglobulinemia (defined as IgG levels < 500 mg/dL). Among 67 patients with baseline IgG levels ≥ 500 mg/dL, 40% had their IgG level decreased to < 500 mg/dL after administration of the recommended dosage of LUNSUMIO.
Plasma concentrations of cytokines (IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, and IFN-γ) were measured, and transient elevation of cytokines were observed at doses of 0.4 mg and above. After administration of the recommended dosage of LUNSUMIO, the highest elevation of cytokines was observed within 24 hours after the first dose on Cycle 1 Day 1 and after the first 60 mg dose on Cycle 1 Day 15. The elevated cytokine levels generally returned to baseline prior to the next infusion on Cycle 1 Day 8 and on Cycle 2 Day 1.
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Mosunetuzumab-axgb PK exposure increased proportionally over a dose range from 0.2 mg to 60 mg (0.007 to 2 times the recommended treatment dosage). PK exposures for the recommended dosage of LUNSUMIO are summarized in

Specific Populations
There were no clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of mosunetuzumab-axgb based on age (19 to 96 years), sex, race (Asian and Non-Asian), ethnicity (Hispanic/Latino and not Hispanic/Latino), mild or moderate renal impairment (estimated creatinine clearance [CrCL] by Cockcroft-Gault formula: 30 to 89 mL/min), or mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin less than or equal to upper limit of normal [ULN] with AST greater than ULN or total bilirubin greater than 1 to 1.5 times ULN with any AST). The effects of severe renal impairment (CrCL 15 to 29 mL/min) or moderate to severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin greater than 1.5 times ULN with any AST) on the pharmacokinetics of mosunetuzumab-axgb are unknown.
Drug Interaction Studies
No clinical studies evaluating the drug interaction potential of mosunetuzumab-axgb have been conducted.
12.6 Immunogenicity
The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in the study described below with the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in other studies, including those of mosunetuzumab-axgb.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES
The efficacy of LUNSUMIO was evaluated in an open-label, multicenter, multi-cohort study (GO29781, NCT02500407) in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) who had received at least two prior therapies, including an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody and an alkylating agent. The study excluded patients with active infections, history of autoimmune disease, prior allogeneic transplant, or any history of CNS lymphoma or CNS disorders.
Patients received step-up doses of 1 mg on Cycle 1 Day 1 and 2 mg on Cycle 1 Day 8, followed by 60 mg on Cycle 1 Day 15, and 60 mg on Cycle 2 Day 1, then 30 mg via intravenous infusion every 3 weeks in subsequent cycles. A treatment cycle was 21 days. LUNSUMIO was administered for 8 cycles unless patients experienced progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity. After 8 cycles, patients with a complete response discontinued therapy; patients with a partial response or stable disease continued treatment up to 17 cycles, unless patients experienced progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity.
Among the 90 patients with relapsed or refractory FL, the median age was 60 years (range: 29 to 90 years), 33% were 65 years of age or older, 61% were male, 82% were White, 9% were Asian, 4% were Black or African American, and 8% were Hispanic or Latino. A total of 77% of patients had Stage III-IV disease, 34% had bulky disease, and all patients had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1. The median number of prior therapies was 3 (range: 2 to 10), with 38% receiving 2 prior therapies, 31% receiving 3 prior therapies, and 31% receiving more than 3 prior therapies.
Seventy-nine percent of patients were refractory to prior anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody therapy, 53% were refractory to both anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody and alkylator therapy, 9% received prior rituximab plus lenalidomide therapy, 21% received prior autologous stem cell transplant, and 3% received prior CAR-T therapy. Fifty-two percent of patients had progression of disease within 24 months of first systemic therapy.
Efficacy was established on the basis of objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR) as assessed by an independent review facility according to standard criteria for NHL (Cheson 2007). The median follow-up for DOR was 14.9 months. The efficacy results are summarized in
| Response | LUNSUMIO N = 90 |
|---|---|
| CI = confidence interval; NR = not reached | |
| Objective response rate (ORR), n (%) | 72 (80) |
| (95% CI) | (70, 88) |
| Complete response (CR), n (%) | 54 (60) |
| (95% CI) | (49, 70) |
| Partial response (PR), n (%) | 18 (20) |
| (95% CI) | (12, 30) |
| Duration of response (DOR) | N = 72 |
| Median DOR |
22.8 (10, NR) |
| Rate of continued response |
|
| At 12 months, % | 62 |
| (95% CI) | (50, 74) |
| At 18 months, % | 57 |
| (95% CI) | (44, 70) |
The median time to first response was 1.4 months (range: 1.1 to 8.9).
