SUMMARY
- RYBREVANT FASPRO (amivantamab and hyaluronidase-lpuj) for subcutaneous (SC) administration is a coformulation of amivantamab with recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20).1
- RYBREVANT (amivantamab-vmjw) is a low fucose, fully human, immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1)-based bispecific antibody with immune cell-directing activity that targets epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) mutations and amplifications in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).2
- LAZCLUZE (lazertinib) is a third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor.3
- PALOMA-3 (NCT05388669) is a phase 3, open-label, international, randomized study evaluating the pharmacokinetics (PK), efficacy, and safety of RYBREVANT FASPRO plus LAZCLUZE (n=206) vs RYBREVANT plus LAZCLUZE (n=212) in patients with EGFR-mutated (Exon 19 deletion [Exon19del] or Exon 21 L858R) locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who experienced disease progression on or after osimertinib and platinum-based chemotherapy (N=418).1,4
- The venous thromboembolism (VTE) rate was 9% (19/206) in the RYBREVANT FASPRO plus LAZCLUZE group and 14% (30/210) in the RYBREVANT plus LAZCLUZE group.1
- PALOMA-2 (NCT05498428) is an ongoing, phase 2, open-label, international, parallel-cohort study evaluating the efficacy and safety of RYBREVANT FASPRO with chemotherapy and/or LAZCLUZE combination therapy in patients with EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC (N=520).5,6
- VTE was reported in 13% (16/125) of all patients, with 18% (12/68) in cohort 1 and 7% (4/57) in cohort 6.5
- VTE was reported in 13% (10/77) of patients in cohort 5.7

- Please refer to national oncology supportive care guidelines for additional information.
CLINICAL DATA
PALOMA-3 Study
Study Design/Methods
- Phase 3, randomized, open-label, international study designed to assess the PK, efficacy, and safety of RYBREVANT FASPRO plus LAZCLUZE (n=206) vs RYBREVANT plus LAZCLUZE (n=212) in patients with EGFR-mutated (Exon19del or Exon 21 L858R) locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who experienced disease progression on or after osimertinib and platinum-based chemotherapy (N=418).1,4
- RYBREVANT FASPRO 1600 mg SC (2240 mg if body weight [BW] ≥80 kg) was administered once weekly (QW) for the first 4 weeks and then once every 2 weeks (Q2W) thereafter.
- RYBREVANT 1050 mg intravenous (1400 mg if BW ≥80 kg) was administered QW for the first 4 weeks and Q2W thereafter.
- LAZCLUZE 240 mg orally (PO) was administered once daily.
- Prophylactic anticoagulation was recommended for the first 4 months of treatment.
Results
- At a median follow-up of 7 months (range, 0.1-14.4), the median duration of treatment was 4.7 months (range, 0.1-13.2) for RYBREVANT FASPRO plus LAZCLUZE and 4.1 months (range, 0-13.2) for RYBREVANT plus LAZCLUZE.1
- The incidence of VTE was 9% in the RYBREVANT FASPRO plus LAZCLUZE group and 14% in the RYBREVANT plus LAZCLUZE group, with pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis being the most common.1 The incidence of VTE is summarized in Table: PALOMA-3: Incidence of VTE.
- Among all VTE cases, most occurred in the first 4 months (RYBREVANT FASPRO plus LAZCLUZE vs RYBREVANT plus LAZCLUZE, 74% vs 67%).

- Overall, 80% and 81% of patients in the RYBREVANT FASPRO plus LAZCLUZE and RYBREVANT plus LAZCLUZE groups, respectively, received prophylactic anticoagulation,1 which is summarized in Table: PALOMA-3: Concomitant Anticoagulants.

PALOMA-2 Study
Study Design/Methods
- Phase 2, ongoing, parallel-cohort, open-label, international study designed to assess the efficacy and safety of RYBREVANT FASPRO with chemotherapy and/or LAZCLUZE in patients with EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC.5,6
- Cohorts 1 and 6: RYBREVANT FASPRO 1600 mg SC (2240 mg if BW ≥80 kg) was administered QW for the first 4 weeks and then Q2W thereafter. LAZCLUZE 240 mg PO was administered once daily.5
- Prophylactic anticoagulation was recommended in cohort 1 and mandatory in cohort 6 for the first 4 months.
- Cohort 5: RYBREVANT FASPRO 1600 mg SC (2240 mg if BW ≥80 kg) was administered QW for the first 4 weeks, and then 3520 mg (4640 mg if BW ≥80 kg) Q4W thereafter (28-day cycles). LAZCLUZE 240 mg PO was administered once daily.7
- Prophylactic anticoagulation was recommended for the first 4 months of treatment.
Results
Cohorts 1 and 6
- VTE was reported in 13% (16/125) of all patients, with 18% (12/68) in cohort 1 and 7% (4/57) in cohort 6.5
- Most VTEs were grade 1-2 in severity; no grade 5 events were reported.
- No VTEs led to dose reduction.
- Of the 12 patients in the prophylactic anticoagulation group who reported VTE, 11 (92%) developed VTE after discontinuing prophylactic anticoagulation,5 as summarized in Table: PALOMA-2: VTE and Bleeding Events Based on Prophylactic Anticoagulation Use in Cohorts 1 and 6.
- Median onset time of VTE after discontinuing prophylactic anticoagulation was 70 days (range, 2-185).
