5 Warnings and Precautions

5.2 Neurologic Toxicity, including Immune Effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome

Subsection title revised

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

LUNSUMIO can cause serious and life-threatening neurologic toxicity, including immune effector cell- associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

Neurologic toxicity occurred in 39% of patients who received LUNSUMIO at the recommended dose in the clinical trial, with Grade 3 neurologic toxicity occurring in 3% of patients. The most frequent neurologic toxicities were headache (21%), peripheral neuropathy (13%), dizziness (11%), and mental status changes (6%, including confusional state, disturbance in attention, cognitive disorder, delirium, encephalopathy, and somnolence). ICANS was reported in 1% of patients (Grade 1: 0.5%, Grade 2: 0.5%) who received LUNSUMIO at the recommended dose in the clinical trial.]

Across a broader clinical trial population, ICANS or suspected ICANS occurred in 2.1% (20/949) of patients who received LUNSUMIO. The most frequent manifestations included confusional state and lethargy. Nineteen patients had Grade 1-2 events and 1 patient had a Grade 3 event. The majority of cases (75%) occurred during the first cycle of treatment. The median time to onset was 17 days (range: 1 to 48 days). In total, 87% of cases resolved after a median duration of 3 days (range: 1-20 days).

5.4 Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis

Newly added subsection:

LUNSUMIO can cause fatal or serious hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). HLH is a potentially life- threatening, hyperinflammatory syndrome that is independent of CRS. Common manifestations include fever, elevated ferritin, hemophagocytosis, cytopenias, coagulopathy, hepatitis, and splenomegaly.

Across a broader clinical trial population, HLH occurred in 0.5% (7/1536) of patients. Most cases (5/7) were identified within the first 28 days following initiation of LUNSUMIO, with 3 cases preceded by diagnosed or suspected CRS. Of the 7 cases of HLH, 6 had fatal outcomes, with 2 deaths from HLH alone and 4 deaths with concurrent unresolved HLH. Of the 7 cases of HLH, 4 occurred in the context of concurrent EBV and/or CMV infection.

Monitor for clinical signs and symptoms of HLH. Consider HLH when the presentation of CRS is atypical or prolonged, or when there are features of macrophage activation. For suspected HLH, interrupt LUNSUMIO and evaluate and treat promptly for HLH per current practice guidelines.

…

What are the possible side effects of LUNSUMIO? LUNSUMIO may cause serious side effects, including:

See “What is the most important information I should know about LUNSUMIO?”

  • neurologic problems. LUNSUMIO can cause serious and life-threatening neurologic problems. Your healthcare provider will check you for neurologic problems during treatment with LUNSUMIO. Your healthcare provider may also refer you to a healthcare provider who specializes in neurologic problems. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of neurologic problems during or after treatment with LUNSUMIO, including:

    • headache                                                                    

    • sleepiness or trouble sleeping

    • numbness and tingling of the arms, legs, hands, or feet    

    • tremors

    • forgetting things or forgetting who or where you are

    • loss of balance or trouble walking

    • trouble speaking, reading, or writing

    • tiredness

…

  • hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). LUNSUMIO can cause overactivity of the immune system, a condition called hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). HLH can be life-threatening and has led to death in people treated with LUNSUMIO. Your healthcare provider will check you for HLH especially if your CRS lasts longer than expected. Signs and symptoms of HLH include:

    • fever

    • low blood cell counts

    • enlarged spleen

    • liver problems

    • easy bruising

  • low blood cell counts. Low blood cell counts are common during treatment with LUNSUMIO and can also be serious or severe.

    Your healthcare provider will check your blood cell counts during treatment with LUNSUMIO. LUNSUMIO can cause the following low blood cell counts:

…

  • growth in your tumor or worsening of tumor related problems (tumor flare). LUNSUMIO can cause serious or severe worsening of your tumor.

…

The most common severe abnormal blood test results with LUNSUMIO include: decreased phosphate, increased glucose, and increased uric acid levels.
