Amivantamab SC, RYBREVANT, LAZCLUZE - PALOMA-3 study

Last updated: 11/06/2025
  • RYBREVANT (amivantamab-vmjw) is a low fucose, fully human IgG1-based bispecific antibody with immune cell-directing activity that targets EGFR mutations and MET mutations and amplifications in NSCLC.1
  • Amivantamab for SC administration is a coformulation of amivantamab with rHuPH20.2
  • LAZCLUZE (lazertinib) is a third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor.3

PALOMA-3 study

  • PALOMA-3 (NCT05388669) is an ongoing, phase 3, open-label, international, randomized study evaluating the PK, efficacy, and safety of amivantamab SC plus LAZCLUZE (n=206) vs RYBREVANT IV plus LAZCLUZE (n=212) in patients with EGFR-mutated (Exon19del or Exon 21 L858R) locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with disease progression on or after osimertinib and platinum-based chemotherapy (N=418). The noninferior coprimary PK endpoints were Ctrough and AUCD1-D15.2,4 The key secondary endpoints were ORR and PFS. OS was a predefined exploratory endpoint.2
    • The GMRs for Ctrough at predose (C2D1), Ctrough at steady state (C4D1), and C2 AUCD1-D15 for amivantamab SC and IV administration were 1.15 (90% CI, 1.04-1.26), 1.43 (90% CI, 1.27-1.61), and 1.03 (90% CI,0.98-1.09), respectively.2
    • ORR was 30% in the amivantamab SC plus LAZCLUZE group and 33% in the RYBREVANT IV plus LAZCLUZE group, and median PFS was 6.1 and 4.3 months, respectively. OS was longer in the amivantamab SC plus LAZCLUZE vs RYBREVANT IV plus LAZCLUZE group (HR for death, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.42-0.92; nominal P=0.02a).2
    • Grade ≥3 AEs were reported in 52% of patients in the amivantamab SC plus LAZCLUZE group and 56% of patients in the RYBREVANT IV plus LAZCLUZE group.2
    • All-grade IRRs were reported by 13% of patients in the amivantamab SC plus LAZCLUZE group and 66% of patients in the RYBREVANT IV plus LAZCLUZE group. The VTE rate was 9% in the amivantamab SC plus LAZCLUZE group and 14% in the RYBREVANT IV plus LAZCLUZE group.2
    • Median administration time was reduced to 4.8 minutes with SC administration from 5 hours (first infusion) with IV administration.2
    • Medical resource utilization parameters (patient time in chair, active HCP time, and patient time in treatment room) were lower with amivantamab SC plus LAZCLUZE vs RYBREVANT IV plus LAZCLUZE on C1D1 and C3D1.5
    • More patients receiving amivantamab SC plus LAZCLUZE vs RYBREVANT IV plus LAZCLUZE reported feeling unrestricted by administration (C1D1, 66% vs 29%; C3D1, 60% vs 42%), unbothered by administration time (C1D1, 69% vs 30%; C3D1, 71% vs 45%), time was gained for other activities (C1D1, 36% vs 7%; C3D1, 37% vs 6%), and treatment was convenient/very convenient (C1D1, 85% vs 52%; EOT, 85% vs 35%), all with nominal P-values <0.05.5,a
    • Patients receiving amivantamab SC reported minimal moderate to very severe injection-site symptoms (pain [C1D1, 14%; C3D1, 16%], swelling [C1D1, 5%; C3D1, 6%], and redness [C1D1, 5%; C3D1, 6%]).5
    • Patients receiving amivantamab SC were satisfied (C1D1, 86%; C3D1, 90%), were likely to prefer it over IV (C1D1, 77%; C3D1, 81%), and indicated that they would recommend it to other patients (C1D1, 78%; C3D1, 81%).5

PALOMA-3 (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05388669) enrollment period: August 2022 to October 2023; data cutoff date: January 3, 2024.2
aAll patients were required to undergo brain imaging at baseline; subsequent imaging was performed Q6W in patients with baseline brain metastases or as clinically indicated.
bFor calculating the primary and key secondary outcomes, a sample size of 400 patients was estimated to provide >95% power with a 1-sided alpha of 0.05 allocated to each of the coprimary endpoints and 80% power with a 1-sided alpha of 0.025 allocated to ORR. A hierarchical testing approach at a 2-sided alpha of 0.05 was used for the coprimary endpoints (noninferiority), followed by ORR (noninferiority) and PFS (superiority), which used acombined 2-sided alpha of 0.05.
cTwo definitions of the same endpoint were used per regional health authority guidance.
dSC amivantamab was co-formulated with rHuPH20 at a concentration of 160 mg/mL.
eC1 for IV: D1, D2 (D2 applies to IV split dose only [350 mg on D1 and the remainder on D2]), D8, D15, and D22; C1 for SC: D1, D8, D15, and D22; after C1 for all: D1 and D15 (28-day cycles).
f2240 mg if BW ≥80 kg.

  • At C1D1 (study D1), median administration time was reduced to 4.8 minutes (range, 0-18) with amivantamab SC administration from 5 hours (range, 0.2-9.9) for the first infusion with RYBREVANT IV administration.2
  • The mTASQ is a 12-item questionnaire measuring the impact of the mode of treatment administration across 5 domains (physical impact, psychological impact, impact on activities of daily living, convenience, and satisfaction) on a scale of 0 to 100, with higher scores indicative of more positive feelings toward therapy.5
    • Mean mTASQ scores on C1D1 and C3D1 (study D57) were higher with amivantamab SC plus LAZCLUZE vs RYBREVANT IV plus LAZCLUZE across all domains, except for physical impact.

  • In a subgroup analysis of Asian patients in the PALOMA-3 study, 255 (61%) Asian patients (defined by race) were randomized to receive amivantamab SC plus LAZCLUZE (n=126) or RYBREVANT IV plus LAZCLUZE (n=129).7

  • Median administration time among Asian patients was <5 minutes with amivantamab SC and 2-5 hours with RYBREVANT IV, consistent with observations in the overall population.7
  • The GMR for Ctrough at C2D1 for amivantamab SC (n=106) and IV (n=92) administration was 1.11 (90% CI, 0.97-1.28).7,a
  • The GMR for C2 AUCD1-D15 for amivantamab SC (n=95) and IV (n=87) administration was 1.03 (90% CI, 0.96-1.10).7,a
  • The PK exposures were similar between SC and IV amivantamab in Asian patients, consistent with observations in the overall population.7

aThe PK analysis for primary endpoints included all patients who received all doses without dose modification and provided the required PK samples through the final required PK sample relevant to the endpoint.

  • At a median follow-up of 6.9 months, the DCR was 80% in the amivantamab SC plus LAZCLUZE group and 73% in the RYBREVANT IV plus LAZCLUZE group.7
  • Median DOR was NE in the amivantamab SC plus LAZCLUZE group and 7.1 months in the RYBREVANT IV plus LAZCLUZE group.7
  • Median PFS was NE (95% CI, 4.27-NE) in the amivantamab SC plus LAZCLUZE group and 5.59 months (95% CI, 4.17-8.41) in the RYBREVANT IV plus LAZCLUZE group (HR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.58-1.22; P=0.35).7
  • At a median follow-up of 7 months, median OS was NE (95% CI, 12.85-NE) in the amivantamab SC plus LAZCLUZE group and NE (95% CI, 10.64-NE) in the RYBREVANT IV plus LAZCLUZE group (HR, 0.6; 95% CI, 0.33-1.08; P=0.08).7
    • The OS rates in the amivantamab SC plus LAZCLUZE and RYBREVANT IV plus LAZCLUZE groups, respectively, were 87% vs 80% at 6 months and 77% vs 61% at 12 months.
  • Efficacy results among Asian patients were consistent with results in the overall population.7
  • Median treatment duration was 6.8 months (range, 0.5-13.4) in the amivantamab SC plus LAZCLUZE group (n=126) and 7 months (range, 0.4-13.7) in the RYBREVANT IV plus LAZCLUZE group (n=127).7
  • The safety profile across both groups was consistent with that observed in the overall population.7
