4.2 Posology and method of administration

Applies to: Rybrevant 350 mg concentrate for solution for infusion.

Treatment with Rybrevant should be initiated and supervised by a physician experienced in the use of anticancer medicinal products.
Rybrevant should be administered by a healthcare professional with access to appropriate medical support to manage infusion-related reactions (IRRs) if they occur.

Before initiation of Rybrevant therapy, EGFR mutation status in tumour tissue or plasma specimens must be established using a validated test method. If no mutation is detected in a plasma specimen, tumour tissue should be tested if available in sufficient amount and quality due to the potential for false negative results using a plasma-test. Testing may be performed at any time from initial diagnosis until the initiation of therapy; testing does not need to be repeated once EGFR mutation status has been established (see section 5.1).
Posology

Premedications should be administered to reduce the risk of IRRs with Rybrevant (see below “Dose modifications” and “Recommended concomitant medicinal products”).

Every 3 weeks

The recommended dosages of Rybrevant, when used in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed, is provided in Table 1 (see below “Infusion rates” and Table 5).

When given in combination with lazertinib, it is recommended to administer Rybrevant any time after lazertinib when given on the same day. Refer to section 4.2 of the lazertinib Summary of Product Characteristics for recommended lazertinib dosing information.

Duration of treatment
It is recommended that patients are treated with Rybrevant until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Missed dose

If a planned dose is missed, the dose should be administered as soon as possible and the dosing schedule should be adjusted accordingly, maintaining the treatment interval.

Dose modifications

Dosing should be interrupted for Grade 3 or 4 adverse reactions until the adverse reaction resolves to ≤Grade 1 or baseline. If an interruption is 7 days or less, restart at the current dose. If an interruption is longer than 7 days, it is recommended restarting at a reduced dose as presented in Table 3. See also specific dose modifications for specific adverse reactions below Table 3.

Infusion-related reactions

Infusion should be interrupted at the first sign of IRRs. Additional supportive medicinal products (e.g., additional glucocorticoids, antihistamine, antipyretics and antiemetics) should be administered as clinically indicated (see section 4.4).


Grade 1-3 (mild-severe): Upon recovery from symptoms, resume infusion at 50% of the previous rate. If there are no additional symptoms, the rate may be increased per the recommended infusion rate (see Tables 5 and 6). Concomitant medicinal products should be administered at the next dose (including dexamethasone (20 mg) or equivalent (see Table 4).


Recurrent Grade 3 or Grade 4 (life-threatening): Permanently discontinue Rybrevant.

Venous thromboembolic (VTE) events with concomitant use with lazertinib

At the initiation of treatment, prophylactic anticoagulants should be administered to prevent VTE events in patients receiving Rybrevant in combination with lazertinib. Consistent with clinical guidelines, patients should receive prophylactic dosing of either a direct acting oral anticoagulant (DOAC) or a low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH). Use of Vitamin K antagonists is not recommended.

For VTE events associated with clinical instability (e.g., respiratory failure or cardiac dysfunction), both drugs should be withheld until the patient is clinically stable. Thereafter, both medicinal products can be resumed at the same dose. In the event of recurrence despite appropriate anticoagulation, discontinue Rybrevant. Treatment can continue with lazertinib at the same dose.

Skin and nail reactions

Prophylactic therapy with oral and topical antibiotics is recommended to reduce the risk and severity of skin and nail reactions in patients receiving Rybrevant. Non-comedogenic skin moisturiser (ceramide-based or other formulations that provide long lasting skin hydration and exclude drying agents are preferred) on the face and whole body (except scalp) and chlorhexidine solution to wash hands and feet is also recommended. Patients should be instructed to limit sun exposure during and for 2 months after Rybrevant therapy. For further information about prophylaxis for skin and nail reactions, see section 4.4.

If the patient develops a Grade 1-2 skin or nail reaction, supportive care should be initiated as clinically indicated; if there is no improvement after 2 weeks, dose reduction should be considered for persistent Grade 2 rash (see Table 3). If the patient develops a Grade 3 skin or nail reaction, supportive care should be initiated as clinically indicated, and interruption of Rybrevant should be considered until the adverse reaction improves. Upon recovery of the skin or nail reaction to ≤Grade 2, Rybrevant should be resumed at a reduced dose. If the patient develops Grade 4 skin reactions, permanently discontinue Rybrevant (see section 4.4).
Interstitial lung disease

Rybrevant should be withheld if interstitial lung disease (ILD) or ILD-like adverse reactions (pneumonitis) is suspected. If the patient is confirmed to have ILD or ILD-like adverse reactions (e.g., pneumonitis), permanently discontinue Rybrevant (see section 4.4).

Recommended concomitant medicinal products

Two days before the first infusion:

During the two days prior to the initial Rybrevant infusion, patients should receive 8 mg dexamethasone orally, twice daily.

Day of infusion:

On the day of the initial infusion (Week 1, Day 1), patients should receive 8 mg dexamethasone orally, one hour prior to infusion in addition to intravenous dexamethasone to further reduce the risk of IRRs.

Prior to infusion (Week 1, Days 1 and 2), antihistamines, antipyretics, and glucocorticoids should be administered to reduce the risk of IRRs (see Table 4). For subsequent doses, antihistamines and antipyretics are required to be administered. Glucocorticoids should also be re-initiated after prolonged dose interruptions. Antiemetics should be administered as needed.

Special populations

Paediatric population

There is no relevant use of amivantamab in the paediatric population in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.

Elderly

No dose adjustments are necessary (see section 4.8, section 5.1, and section 5.2).

Renal impairment

No formal studies of amivantamab in patients with renal impairment have been conducted. Based on population pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses, no dose adjustment is necessary for patients with mild or

moderate renal impairment. Caution is required in patients with severe renal impairment as amivantamab has not been studied in this patient population (see section 5.2). If treatment is started, patients should be monitored for adverse reactions with dose modifications per the recommendations above.
Hepatic impairment

No formal studies of amivantamab in patients with hepatic impairment have been conducted. Based on population PK analyses, no dose adjustment is necessary for patients with mild hepatic impairment.

Caution is required in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment as amivantamab has not been studied in this patient population (see section 5.2). If treatment is started, patients should be monitored for adverse reactions with dose modifications per the recommendations above.

Method of administration

Rybrevant is for intravenous use. It is administered as an intravenous infusion following dilution with sterile 5% glucose solution or sodium chloride 9 mg/mL (0.9%) solution for injection. Rybrevant must be administered with in-line filtration.

For instructions on dilution of the medicinal product before administration, see section 6.6.

Infusion rates

Following dilution, the infusion should be administered intravenously at the infusion rates presented in Table 5 or 6 below. Due to the frequency of IRRs at the first dose, amivantamab should be infused via a peripheral vein at Week 1 and Week 2; infusion via a central line may be administered for subsequent weeks when the risk of IRR is lower (see section 6.6). It is recommended for the first dose to be prepared as close to administration as possible to maximise the likelihood of completing the infusion in the event of an IRR.

4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use

Applies to: Rybrevant 350 mg concentrate for solution for infusion.

Traceability
In order to improve the traceability of biological medicinal products, the name and the batch number of the administered product should be clearly recorded.

Infusion-related reactions

Infusion-related reactions commonly occurred in patients treated with amivantamab (see section 4.8).

Prior to initial infusion (Week 1), antihistamines, antipyretics, and glucocorticoids should be administered to reduce the risk of IRRs. For subsequent doses, antihistamines and antipyretics should be administered. The initial infusion should be administered in split doses on Week 1, Day 1 and 2.

Patients should be treated in a setting with appropriate medical support to treat IRRs. Infusions should be interrupted at the first sign of IRRs of any severity and post-infusion medicinal products should be administered as clinically indicated. Upon resolution of symptoms, the infusion should be resumed at 50% of the previous rate. For recurrent Grade 3 or Grade 4 IRRs, Rybrevant should be permanently discontinued (see section 4.2).

Interstitial lung disease

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) or ILD-like adverse reactions (e.g., pneumonitis) have been reported in patients treated with amivantamab, including fatal events (see section 4.8). Patients should be monitored for symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis (e.g., dyspnoea, cough, fever). If symptoms develop, treatment with Rybrevant should be interrupted pending investigation of these symptoms.

Suspected ILD or ILD-like adverse reactions should be evaluated and appropriate treatment should be initiated as necessary. Rybrevant should be permanently discontinued in patients with confirmed ILD or ILD-like adverse reactions (see section 4.2).

Venous thromboembolic (VTE) events with concomitant use with lazertinib

In patients receiving Rybrevant in combination with lazertinib, VTE events, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), including fatal events, were reported (see section 4.8). Consistent with clinical guidelines, patients should receive prophylactic dosing of either a

direct acting oral anticoagulant (DOAC) or a low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH). Use of Vitamin K antagonists is not recommended.
Signs and symptoms of VTE events should be monitored. Patients with VTE events should be treated with anticoagulation as clinically indicated. For VTE events associated with clinical instability treatment should be withheld until the patient is clinically stable. Thereafter, both drugs can be resumed at the same dose.

In the event of recurrence despite appropriate anticoagulation, Rybrevant should be discontinued.

Treatment can continue with lazertinib at the same dose (see section 4.2).

Skin and nail reactions

Rash (including dermatitis acneiform), pruritus, dry skin, and skin ulcer occurred in patients treated with amivantamab (see section 4.8). Patients should be instructed to limit sun exposure during and for 2 months after Rybrevant therapy. Protective clothing and use of broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen are advisable. A prophylactic approach to rash prevention is recommended. This includes prophylactic therapy, at treatment initiation, with an oral antibiotic (e.g., doxycycline or minocycline, 100 mg twice daily) starting on Day 1 for the first 12 weeks of treatment and after completion of oral antibiotic therapy, topical antibiotic lotion to the scalp (e.g., clindamycin 1%) for the next 9 months of treatment. Non-comedogenic skin moisturiser (ceramide-based or other formulations that provide long-lasting skin hydration and exclude drying agents are preferred) on the face and whole body (except scalp) and chlorhexidine solution to wash hands and feet is recommended beginning on Day 1 and continued for the duration of treatment.

Prescriptions for topical and/or oral antibiotics and topical corticosteroids are recommended to be available at the time of initial dosing to minimise any delay in reactive management should rash develop despite prophylactic treatment. If skin reactions develop, supportive care, topical corticosteroids and topical and/or oral antibiotics should be administered. For Grade 3 or poorly-tolerated Grade 2 events, systemic antibiotics and oral steroids should also be administered.

Patients presenting with severe rash that has an atypical appearance or distribution or lack improvement within 2 weeks should be referred promptly to a dermatologist. Rybrevant should be dose reduced, interrupted, or permanently discontinued based on severity (see section 4.2).

Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) has been reported. Treatment with this medicinal product should be discontinued if TEN is confirmed.

Eye disorders

Eye disorders, including keratitis, occurred in patients treated with amivantamab (see section 4.8).

Patients presenting with worsening eye symptoms should promptly be referred to an ophthalmologist and should discontinue use of contact lenses until symptoms are evaluated. For dose modifications for Grade 3 or 4 eye disorders, see section 4.2.

Sodium content

This medicinal product contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) sodium per dose, that is to say essentially “sodium-free”. This medicinal product may be diluted in sodium chloride 9 mg/mL (0.9%) solution for infusion. This should be taken into consideration for patients on a controlled sodium diet (see section 6.6).

Polysorbate content

This medicinal product contains 0.6 mg of polysorbate 80 in each mL, which is equivalent to 4.2 mg per 7 mL vial. Polysorbates may cause hypersensitivity reactions.

Traceability
In order to improve the traceability of biological medicinal products, the name and the batch number of the administered product should be clearly recorded.

Administration-related reactions

Administration-related reactions occurred in patients treated with Rybrevant subcutaneous formulation (see section 4.8).

Prior to the initial injection (Week 1 Day 1), antihistamines, antipyretics, and glucocorticoids should be administered to reduce the risk of administration-related reactions. For subsequent doses, antihistamines and antipyretics should be administered.

Patients should be treated in a setting with appropriate medical support to treat administration-related reactions. At the first sign of administration-related reactions of any severity, injections should be interrupted, if ongoing, and post-injection medicinal products should be administered as clinically indicated. Upon resolution of symptoms, the injection should be resumed. For Grade 4 or recurrent Grade 3 administration-related reactions, Rybrevant should be permanently discontinued (see section 4.2).

Interstitial lung disease

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) or ILD-like adverse reactions (e.g., pneumonitis) have been reported in patients treated with amivantamab, including fatal events (see section 4.8). Patients should be monitored for symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis (e.g., dyspnoea, cough, fever). If symptoms develop, treatment with Rybrevant should be interrupted pending investigation of these symptoms.

Suspected ILD or ILD-like adverse reactions should be evaluated and appropriate treatment should be

initiated as necessary. Rybrevant should be permanently discontinued in patients with confirmed ILD or ILD-like adverse reactions (see section 4.2).
Venous thromboembolic (VTE) events with concomitant use with lazertinib

In patients receiving amivantamab in combination with lazertinib, VTE events, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), were reported (see section 4.8). Fatal events were observed with amivantamab intravenous formulation.

Consistent with clinical guidelines, patients should receive prophylactic dosing of either a direct acting oral anticoagulant (DOAC) or a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). Use of Vitamin K antagonists is not recommended.

Signs and symptoms of VTE events should be monitored. Patients with VTE events should be treated with anticoagulation as clinically indicated. For VTE events associated with clinical instability, treatment should be withheld until the patient is clinically stable. Thereafter, both drugs can be resumed at the same dose.

In the event of recurrence despite appropriate anticoagulation, Rybrevant should be discontinued.

Polysorbate content
This medicinal product contains 0.6 mg of polysorbate 80 in each mL, which is equivalent to 6 mg per 10 mL vial, 8.4 mg per 14 mL vial, 9 mg per 15 mL vial, or 13.2 mg per 22 mL vial. Polysorbates may cause hypersensitivity reactions.

4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction

Applies to: Rybrevant 350 mg concentrate for solution for infusion. · Rybrevant 1 600 mg solution for injection / Rybrevant 2 240 mg solution for injection / Rybrevant 2 400 mg solution for injection

No drug interaction studies have been performed. As an IgG1 monoclonal antibody, renal excretion and hepatic enzyme-mediated metabolism of intact amivantamab are unlikely to be major elimination routes. As such, variations in drug-metabolising enzymes are not expected to affect the elimination of

amivantamab. Due to the high affinity to a unique epitope on EGFR and MET, amivantamab is not anticipated to alter drug-metabolising enzymes.
Vaccines

No clinical data are available on the efficacy and safety of vaccinations in patients taking amivantamab. Avoid the use of live or live-attenuated vaccines while patients are taking amivantamab.

4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation

Applies to: Rybrevant 350 mg concentrate for solution for infusion.

Women of child-bearing potential/Contraception
Women of child-bearing potential should use effective contraception during and for 3 months after cessation of amivantamab treatment.

Pregnancy

There are no human data to assess the risk of amivantamab use during pregnancy. No animal reproductive studies were conducted to inform a drug-associated risk. Administration of EGFR and MET inhibitor molecules in pregnant animals resulted in an increased incidence of impairment of embryo-foetal development, embryo lethality, and abortion. Therefore, based on its mechanism of action and findings in animal models, amivantamab could cause foetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Amivantamab should not be given during pregnancy unless the benefit of treatment of the woman is considered to outweigh potential risks to the foetus. If the patient becomes pregnant while taking this medicinal product the patient should be informed of the potential risk to the foetus (see section 5.3).

Breast-feeding

It is unknown whether amivantamab is excreted in human milk. Human IgGs are known to be excreted in breast milk during the first few days after birth, which is decreasing to low concentrations soon afterwards. A risk to the breast-fed child cannot be excluded during this short period just after birth, although IgGs are likely to be degraded in the gastrointestinal tract of the breast-fed child and not absorbed. A decision must be made whether to discontinue breast-feeding or to discontinue/abstain from amivantamab therapy taking into account the benefit of breast-feeding for the child and the benefit of therapy for the woman.

Fertility

There are no data on the effect of amivantamab on human fertility. Effects on male and female fertility have not been evaluated in animal studies.

4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines

Applies to: Rybrevant 350 mg concentrate for solution for infusion. · Rybrevant 1 600 mg solution for injection / Rybrevant 2 240 mg solution for injection / Rybrevant 2 400 mg solution for injection

Rybrevant may have moderate influence on the ability to drive and use machines. Please see section 4.8 (e.g., dizziness, fatigue, visual impairment). If patients experience treatment-related symptoms, including vision-related adverse reactions, affecting their ability to concentrate and react, it is recommended that they do not drive or use machines until the effect subsides.

4.9 Overdose

Applies to: Rybrevant 350 mg concentrate for solution for infusion.

No maximum tolerated dose has been determined in a clinical study in which patients received up to 2 100 mg administered intravenously. There is no known specific antidote for amivantamab overdose.
In the event of an overdose, treatment with Rybrevant should be stopped, the patient should be monitored for any signs or symptoms of adverse events and appropriate general supportive measures should be instituted immediately until clinical toxicity has diminished or resolved.

PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties

Applies to: Rybrevant 350 mg concentrate for solution for infusion.

Pharmacotherapeutic group: Monoclonal antibodies and antibody drug conjugates, ATC code:
L01FX18.

Mechanism of action

Amivantamab is a low-fucose, fully-human IgG1-based EGFR-MET bispecific antibody with immune cell-directing activity that targets tumours with activating EGFR mutations such as Exon 19 deletions, Exon 21 L858R substitution, and Exon 20 insertion mutations. Amivantamab binds to the extracellular domains of EGFR and MET.

Amivantamab disrupts EGFR and MET signalling functions through blocking ligand binding and enhancing degradation of EGFR and MET, thereby preventing tumour growth and progression. The presence of EGFR and MET on the surface of tumour cells also allows for targeting of these cells for destruction by immune effector cells, such as natural killer cells and macrophages, through antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and trogocytosis mechanisms, respectively.

Pharmacodynamic effects

Albumin

Amivantamab decreased serum albumin concentration, a pharmacodynamic effect of MET inhibition, typically during the first 8 weeks (see section 4.8); thereafter, albumin concentration stabilised for the remainder of amivantamab treatment.

Clinical efficacy and safety

Previously-untreated NSCLC with EGFR Exon 19 deletions or Exon 21 L858R substitution mutations (MARIPOSA) NSC3003 (MARIPOSA) is a randomised, open-label, active-controlled, multicentre phase 3 study assessing the efficacy and safety of Rybrevant in combination with lazertinib as compared to osimertinib monotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with EGFR-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC not amenable to curative therapy. Patient samples were required to have one of the two common EGFR mutations (Exon 19 deletion or Exon 21 L858R substitution mutation), as

identified by local testing. Tumour tissue (94%) and/or plasma (6%) samples for all patients were tested locally to determine EGFR Exon 19 deletion and/or Exon 21 L858R substitution mutation status using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 65% and next generation sequencing (NGS) in 35% of patients.
A total of 1 074 patients were randomised (2:2:1) to receive Rybrevant in combination with lazertinib, osimertinib monotherapy, or lazertinib monotherapy until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Rybrevant was administered intravenously at 1 050 mg (for patients < 80 kg) or 1 400 mg (for patients ≥80 kg) once weekly for 4 weeks, then every 2 weeks thereafter starting at week 5. Lazertinib was administered at 240 mg orally once daily. Osimertinib was administered at a dose of 80 mg orally once daily. Randomisation was stratified by EGFR mutation type (Exon 19 deletion or Exon 21 L858R), race (Asian or non-Asian), and history of brain metastasis (yes or no).

Pharmacotherapeutic group: Monoclonal antibodies and antibody drug conjugates, ATC code:
L01FX18.

Rybrevant subcutaneous formulation contains recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20).

rHuPH20 works locally and transiently to degrade hyaluronan ((HA), a naturally occurring glycoaminoglycan found throughout the body) in the extracellular matrix of the subcutaneous space by cleaving the linkage between the two sugars (N-acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid), which comprise HA.

Mechanism of action

Amivantamab is a low-fucose, fully-human IgG1-based EGFR-MET bispecific antibody with immune cell-directing activity that targets tumours with activating EGFR mutations such as Exon 19 deletions, Exon 21 L858R substitution and Exon 20 insertion mutations. Amivantamab binds to the extracellular domains of EGFR and MET.

Amivantamab disrupts EGFR and MET signalling functions through blocking ligand binding and enhancing degradation of EGFR and MET, thereby preventing tumour growth and progression. The presence of EGFR and MET on the surface of tumour cells also allows for targeting of these cells for destruction by immune effector cells, such as natural killer cells and macrophages, through antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and trogocytosis mechanisms, respectively.

Pharmacodynamic effects

After the first full dose of Rybrevant subcutaneous formulation, mean serum EGFR and MET concentrations decreased substantially and remained suppressed for the duration of treatment for all studied doses.

Albumin

Rybrevant subcutaneous formulation decreased serum albumin concentration, a pharmacodynamic effect of MET inhibition, typically during the first 8 weeks (see section 4.8); thereafter, albumin concentration stabilised for the remainder of amivantamab treatment.

Clinical experience of Rybrevant subcutaneous formulation

The efficacy of Rybrevant subcutaneous formulation in patients with EGFR-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC is based on achieving non-inferior PK exposure to intravenous amivantamab in the non-inferiority study PALOMA-3 (see section 5.2). The study demonstrated non-inferior efficacy of subcutaneous to intravenous amivantamab given in combination with lazertinib in patients with EGFR-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC whose disease has progressed on or after treatment with osimertinib and platinum-based chemotherapy.

5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties

Applies to: Rybrevant 350 mg concentrate for solution for infusion.

Based on Rybrevant monotherapy data, amivantamab area under the concentration-time curve (AUC1 week) increases proportionally over a dose range from 350 to 1 750 mg.
Based on simulations from the population pharmacokinetic model, AUC1 week was approximately 2.8-fold higher after the fifth dose for the 2-week dosing regimen and 2.6-fold higher after the fourth dose for the 3-week dosing regimen. Steady-state concentrations of amivantamab were reached by Week 13 for both the 3-week and 2-week dosing regimen and the systemic accumulation was 1.9-fold.

Distribution

Based on the individual amivantamab PK parameter estimates in population PK analysis, the geometric mean (CV%) total volume of distribution, is 5.12 (27.8%) L, following administration of the recommended dose of Rybrevant.

Elimination

Based on the individual amivantamab PK parameter estimates in population PK analysis, the geometric mean (CV%) linear clearance (CL) and terminal half-life associated with linear clearance is 0.266 (30.4%) L/day and 13.7 (31.9%) days respectively.

Special populations
Elderly

No clinically meaningful differences in the pharmacokinetics of amivantamab were observed based on age (21-88 years).

Renal impairment

No clinically meaningful effect on the pharmacokinetics of amivantamab was observed in patients with mild (60 ≤ creatinine clearance [CrCl] < 90 mL/min), moderate (29 ≤ CrCl < 60 mL/min) or severe (15 ≤ CrCl < 29 mL/min) renal impairment. Data in patients with severe renal impairment are limited (n=1), but there is no evidence to suggest that dose adjustment is required in these patients.

The effect of end-stage renal disease (CrCl < 15 mL/min) on amivantamab pharmacokinetics is unknown.

Hepatic impairment

Changes in hepatic function are unlikely to have any effect on the elimination of amivantamab since IgG1-based molecules such as amivantamab are not metabolised through hepatic pathways.

Absorption
Following subcutaneous administration, the geometric mean (%CV) of amivantamab bioavailability is 66.6% (14.9%) with a median time to reach maximum concentration of 3 days, based on the individual amivantamab PK parameter estimates for participants receiving subcutaneous administration in the population PK analysis.

For the every 2-week subcutaneous dosing regimen, the geometric mean (%CV) maximum trough concentration of amivantamab after the 4th weekly dose was 335 µg/mL (32.7%). The mean AUC1 week increased 3.5-fold from the first dose to Cycle 2 Day 1. Maximum trough concentration of amivantamab after subcutaneous administration as monotherapy and in combination with lazertinib is typically observed at the end of the weekly dosing (Cycle 2 Day 1). Amivantamab steady-state concentration is reached by approximately Week 13. The geometric mean (%CV) steady-state trough concentration of amivantamab at Cycle 4 Day 1 was 206 µg/mL (39.1%).

Table 14 lists the observed geometric mean (%CV) maximum trough concentrations (Cycle 2 Day 1 Ctrough) and Cycle 2 area under the concentration time curve (AUCDay 1-15) following the recommended doses of amivantamab administered subcutaneously and intravenously in patients with NSCLC. These PK endpoints were the basis for the demonstration of non-inferiority that supports the intravenous to subcutaneous bridging.
