RYBREVANT, LAZCLUZE - COCOON Study

Last Updated: 09/09/2025

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, multicenter, randomized study evaluating the impact of enhanced (COCOON dermatologic management [DM] arm) vs standard (standard of care [SoC] DM arm) DM 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 intravenously (IV) plus LAZCLUZE orally (PO).The primary endpoint is the incidence of grade ≥2 dermatologic AEs of interest (DAEIs) in the first 12 weeks of RYBREVANT plus LAZCLUZE treatment.3-5
    • Interim analysis results were previously reported at a median follow-up of 4.2 months (data cutoff: November 13, 2024).5,6 
    • At full enrollment, with a median follow-up of 7.1 months, grade ≥2 DAEIs in the first 12 weeks of treatment were reported in 42% (42/99) of patients in the COCOON DM arm and 75% (75/100) of patients in the SoC DM arm (odds ratio [OR], 0.24; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.13-0.45; P<0.0001). Grade ≥2 DAEIs with COCOON vs SoC DM were reported involving the scalp (10% vs 26%), face (15% vs 48%), body (20% vs 44%), and paronychia (21% vs 23%).5 
    • Median time to the first occurrence of grade ≥2 DAEI was 3.5 months with COCOON DM and 1 month with SoC DM.5
    • The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) reported with COCOON vs SoC DM included paronychia (74% vs 69%), infusion-related reaction (61% vs 56%), hypoalbuminemia (60% vs 49%), and rash (48% vs 47%).7
    • Venous thromboembolism (VTE) was reported in 13% of patients in both the COCOON and SoC DM arms, with grade ≥3 VTEs reported in 5% and 3% of patients, respectively.5
    • In the COCOON vs SoC DM arm, dose reductions of any treatment (RYBREVANT or LAZCLUZE) due to DAEIs were reported in 15% vs 26% of patients, dose interruptions in 22% vs 33%, and discontinuations in 4% vs 4%.7
    • The investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR) with COCOON vs SoC DM was 82% (95% CI, 73-89) vs 75% (95% CI, 65-83).5
    • Results for patient-reported outcomes (PROs) were reported in the analysis at full enrollment.5

Study Design/Methods

  • Phase 2, ongoing, open-label, multicenter, randomized study designed to assess the impact of enhanced (COCOON DM arm) vs standard (SoC DM arm) DM on the incidence of dermatologic AEs among treatment-naïve patients with EGFR-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC treated with first-line RYBREVANT plus LAZCLUZE.3-5

  • No differences in the incidence of infections or liver toxicity were observed between arms.5
  • In the COCOON DM arm, treatment-related AEs (TRAEs) led to discontinuation of doxycycline or minocycline in 1 (1%) patient, dose reduction in 3 (3%) patients, and dose interruption in 7 (7%) patients; TRAEs led to dose interruption of clindamycin in 1 (1%) patient.5,7
    • No discontinuation of clindamycin, chlorhexidine, or ceramide-based skin moisturizer due to TRAEs was reported.
Summary of VTE
  • VTE occurred in 13% of patients in both the COCOON and SoC DM arms.5
    • Grade ≥3 VTEs were reported in 5% of patients in the COCOON DM arm and 3% in the SoC DM arm.
  • Among all study patients, the VTE incidence was 5% (9/199) from 0-4 months and 11% (18/170) from 5-8 months of treatment.5
  • Any-grade TEAEs related to VTE prophylaxis were reported in 27 (27%) patients in the COCOON DM arm and 20 (20%) patients in the SoC DM arm.7
    • Grade ≥3 TEAEs related to VTE prophylaxis were reported in 3 (3%) patients in the COCOON DM arm and 1 (1%) patient in the SoC DM arm.7
Dose Reductions, Interruptions, and Discontinuations of Treatment Due to DAEIs
  • At the data cutoff of March 7, 2025, the frequency of dose modifications and discontinuations of RYBREVANT or LAZCLUZE due to DAEIs with COCOON vs SoC DM is included in Table: Dose Reductions, Interruptions, and Discontinuations of Treatment Due to DAEIs.
    • The frequency of dose interruption (RYBREVANT or LAZCLUZE) due to DAEIs with COCOON vs SoC DM was 10% vs 23% in the first 12 weeks and 22% vs 33% throughout the study duration (clinical cutoff).7

Efficacy
  • At a median follow-up of 7.1 months, the investigator-assessed ORR and best responses with COCOON vs SoC DM are included in Table: Efficacy Outcomes.

PROs
  • Overall, 97% of patients in the COCOON DM arm and 98% in the SoC DM arm were compliant with skin condition assessments at baseline, with rates remaining >85% through cycle 7 day 1 (C7D1).5
  • Changes from baseline in the Skindex-16 total score in the first 12 months of treatment are included in Table: Changes From Baseline in the Skindex-16 Total Score.
