RYBREVANT, LAZCLUZE - COCOON Study

Last Updated: 04/14/2025

SUMMARY

  • 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).1
  • LAZCLUZE (lazertinib) is a third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI).2
  • COCOON (NCT06120140) is an ongoing, phase 2, open-label, randomized study evaluating the impact of enhanced (COCCON dermatologic management [DM] arm) vs standard (standard of care [SoC] DM arm) dermatologic management on the incidence of dermatologic adverse events (AEs) among treatment-naïve patients with EGFR-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC treated with first-line RYBREVANT intravenous (IV) plus LAZCLUZE orally (PO).3-5 The primary endpoint is the incidence of grade ≥2 dermatologic AEs in the first 12 weeks after treatment initiation with RYBREVANT plus LAZCLUZE.3,4 Enrollment was planned for approximately 180 patients at 78 sites across 11 study locations worldwide.3
    • At the interim analysis with a median follow-up of 4.2 months, 138 patients had received ≥1 dose of RYBREVANT plus LAZCLUZE and had undergone ≥12 weeks of follow-up.4
      • The median duration of treatment was 4.2 months with COCOON DM and 4.1 months with SoC DM.
    • During the first 12 weeks of treatment, grade ≥2 dermatologic AEs were reported in 38.6% (27/70) of patients with COCOON DM vs 76.5% (52/68) of patients SoC DM (P<0.0001; odds ratio [OR], 0.19 [0.09-0.4]), and grade 3 dermatologic AEs were reported in 4.3% of patients with COCOON DM vs 8.8% of patients with SoC DM.4
    • Consistent reductions in grade ≥2 dermatologic AEs were observed across all subgroups.4
    • Discontinuation of RYBREVANT or LAZCLUZE due to dermatologic or any AEs was less frequent with COCOON DM than with SoC DM.4
