Lunsumio intravenous formulation is not intended for subcutaneous administration and should be administered via intravenous infusion only.
3 Posology Prophylaxis and premedication Lunsumio should be administered to well-hydrated patients. Table 1 provides details on recommended premedication for CRS and infusion related reactions. Table 1 Premedication to be administered to patients prior to Lunsumio infusion Patients requiring premedication Premedication Administration Cycles 1 and 2: all patients Cycles 3 and beyond: patients who experienced any grade CRS with previous dose Intravenous corticosteroids: dexamethasone 20 mg (preferred) or methylprednisolone 80 mg Complete at least 1 hour prior to Lunsumio infusion Anti-histamine: 50-100 mg diphenhydramine hydrochloride or equivalent oral or intravenous anti-histamine At least 30 minutes prior to Lunsumio infusion Anti-pyretic: 500-1000 mg paracetamol The recommended dose of Lunsumio for each 21 day-cycle is detailed in Table 2.
Day 8 2 mg Day 15 60 mg Cycle 2 Day 1 60 mg If the infusions were well-tolerated in Cycle 1, subsequent infusions of Lunsumio may be administered over 2 hours. Cycles 3 and beyond Day 1 30 mg Duration of treatment Lunsumio should be administered for 8 cycles, unless a patient experiences unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.
For patients who achieve a complete response, no further treatment beyond 8 cycles is required. For patients who achieve a partial response or have stable disease in response to treatment with Lunsumio after 8 cycles, an additional 9 cycles of treatment (17 cycles total) should be administered, unless a patient experiences unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.

Summary of safety profile The adverse reactions described in this section were identified from the pivotal clinical trial GO29781 in patients treated at the recommended intravenous dose (n=218) and the recommended subcutaneous dose (n=139).
3%). The median number of cycles of Lunsumio intravenously received was 8 (range 1 -17), 37% of patients received 8 cycles, and 15% received more than 8 cycles up to 17 cycles. Patients who received the recommended intravenous dose (n=218) and subcutaneous (n=139) dose are pooled (n=357) for this safety population.
In this pooled safety population, the most common adverse reactions (≥ 20%) observed were cytokine release syndrome, neutropenia, rash and upper respiratory tract infection. The most common serious adverse reactions (≥ 2%) observed included cytokine release syndrome (CRS) (17% by ASTCT grading system), pyrexia (3%), sepsis (3%), upper respiratory tract infection (3%) and pneumonia (5%).
8% (21/357) of patients. 9%]). Tabulated list of adverse reactions The adverse reactions are listed below by MedDRA system organ class (SOC) and categories of frequency. Frequency categories are defined as very common (≥ 1/10), common (≥ 1/100 to < 1/10), uncommon (≥ 1/1,000 to < 1/100), rare (≥ 1/10,000 to < 1/1,000), very rare (< 1/10,000) and not known (cannot be estimated from the available data).
Within each frequency grouping, adverse reactions are presented in order of decreasing seriousness. 3%, and grade […]
Traceability In order to improve traceability of biological medicinal products, the trade name and the batch number of the administered product should be clearly recorded. 8). Signs and symptoms included pyrexia, chills, hypotension, tachycardia, hypoxia, and headache.
Infusion related reactions may be clinically indistinguishable from manifestations of CRS. CRS events occurred predominantly in cycle 1 and were mainly associated with Day 1 and Day 15 dose administrations. 9 Patients should be premedicated with corticosteroids, antipyretics and antihistamines at least through cycle 2.
Patients must receive adequate hydration prior to the administration of Lunsumio. Patients should be monitored for signs or symptoms of CRS. Patients should be counselled to seek immediate medical attention should signs or symptoms of CRS occur at any time.
Physicians should institute treatment with supportive care, tocilizumab and/or corticosteroids as indicated. 2). 8). Febrile neutropenia was observed in patients after receiving Lunsumio infusion. Lunsumio should not be administered in the presence of active infections.

Patients should be monitored for signs and symptoms of infection, before and after Lunsumio administration, and treated appropriately. In the event of febrile neutropenia, patients should be evaluated for infection and managed with antibiotics, fluids and other supportive care, according to local guidelines.
Immune Effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome (ICANS) ICANS have occurred in patients receiving Lunsumio, including serious and life threatening reactions. The onset of ICANS can be concurrent with CRS, following resolution of CRS, or in the absence of CRS.

Patients should be evaluated and treated for, other causes of fever, hypoxia, and hypotension, such as infections/sepsis.
Infusion related reactions (IRR) may be clinically indistinguishable from manifestations of CRS. If CRS or IRR is suspected, patients should be managed according to the recommendations in Table 4. Table 4 CRS grading1 and management CRS grade CRS management2 Next scheduled infusion of Lunsumio Grade 1 Fever ≥ 38ºC If CRS occurs during infusion: The infusion should be interrupted and symptoms treated The infusion should be re-started at the same rate once the symptoms resolve The symptoms should be resolved for at least 72 hours prior to next infusion The patient should be monitored more frequently 5 If symptoms recur with re-administration, the current infusion should be discontinued If CRS occurs post-infusion: The symptoms should be treated If CRS lasts > 48 hours after symptomatic management: Dexamethasone3 and/or tocilizumab4,5 should be considered Grade 2 Fever ≥ 38ºC and/or hypotension not requiring vasopressors and/or hypoxia requiring low-flow […]
Manifestations of ICANS reported in clinical trials included confusional state, lethargy, encephalopathy, depressed level of consciousness, and memory impairment. The majority of cases occurred during Cycle 1. Patients should be monitored for signs and symptoms of ICANS following Lunsumio administration.
Patients must be counselled to seek immediate medical attention should signs or symptoms occur at any time (see Patient card below). 7). At the first signs or symptoms of ICANS, manage according to the ICANS guidance provided in Table 5.
Treatment with Lunsumio should be withheld or discontinued permanently as recommended. Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), including fatal cases, have been reported in patients receiving Lunsumio.
HLH is a life-threatening syndrome characterized by fever, hepatomegaly and cytopenias. HLH should be considered when the presentation of CRS is atypical or prolonged. 2). For suspected HLH, Lunsumio must be interrupted and treatment for HLH initiated.
8). Manifestations included new or worsening pleural effusions, localised pain and swelling at the sites of lymphoma lesions and tumour inflammation. Consistent with the mechanism of action of Lunsumio, tumour flare is likely due to the influx of T-cells into tumour sites following Lunsumio administration.
There are no specific risk factors for tumour flare that have been identified, however, there is a heightened risk of compromise and morbidity due to mass effect secondary to tumour flare in patients 10 with bulky tumours located in close proximity to airways and/or a vital organ.
Patients treated with Lunsumio should be monitored and evaluated for tumour flare at critical anatomical sites. 8). Patients must have adequate hydration prior to the administration of Lunsumio. g allopurinol, rasburicase), as appropriate.
Patients should be monitored for signs or symptoms of TLS, especially patients with high tumour burden or rapidly proliferative tumours, and patients with reduced renal function. Patients should be monitored for blood chemistries and abnormalities should be managed promptly.
Immunisation Live and/or live-attenuated vaccines should not be given concurrently with Lunsumio. Studies have not been conducted in patients who recently received live vaccines. Patient card The prescriber must discuss the risks of Lunsumio therapy with the patient.
The patient should be provided with the patient card and instructed to carry it at all times. The patient card describes the common signs and symptoms of CRS and ICANS, including instructions on when a patient should seek medical attention.
