Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions
The recommended dosage modifications for adverse reactions are summarized in Table 3. Table 3: Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions Adverse Reaction Severity MONJUVI Dosage Modification Infusion-related reactions Ensure premedications administered before subsequent infusions.
Preparation and Administration Reconstitute and dilute
MONJUVI prior to infusion. Reconstitution Calculate the dose (mg) and determine the number of vials needed. Reconstitute each 200 mg MONJUVI vial with 5 mL Sterile Water for Injection, USP with the stream directed toward the wall of each vial to obtain a final concentration of 40 mg/mL tafasitamab-cxix.
Gently swirl the vial(s) until completely dissolved. Do not shake or swirl vigorously. Complete dissolution may take up to 5 minutes.
Visually inspect the reconstituted solution for particulate matter or discoloration. The reconstituted solution should appear as a colorless to slightly yellow solution. Discard the vial(s) if the solution is cloudy, discolored, or contains visible particles.
Use the reconstituted MONJUVI solution immediately. If needed, store the reconstituted solution in the vial for a maximum of 12 hours either refrigerated at 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C) or room temperature at 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C) before dilution. Protect from light during storage.
Dilution Determine the volume (mL) of the 40 mg/mL reconstituted MONJUVI solution needed based on the required dose. Remove a volume equal to the required MONJUVI solution from a 250 mL 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP infusion bag and discard it. Withdraw the necessary amount of MONJUVI and slowly dilute in the infusion bag that contains the 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP to a final concentration of 2 mg/mL to 8 mg/mL.
Discard any unused portion of MONJUVI remaining in the vial. Gently mix the intravenous bag by slowly inverting the bag. Do not shake.
Visually inspect the infusion bag with the diluted MONJUVI infusion solution for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. If not used immediately, store the diluted MONJUVI infusion solution refrigerated for up to 18 hours at 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C) and/or at room temperature for up to 12 hours at 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C). The room temperature storage includes time for infusion.
Do not shake or freeze the reconstituted or diluted infusion solutions. Administration Administer MONJUVI as an intravenous infusion. Administer all subsequent infusions within 1.5 to 2 hours.
Infuse the entire contents of the bag containing MONJUVI. Do not co-administer other drugs through the same infusion line. No incompatibilities have been observed between MONJUVI with infusion containers made of polypropylene (PP), polyvinylchloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or glass and infusion sets made of polyurethane (PUR) or PVC.

Side Effects of Monjuvi
Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in other clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma The safety of MONJUVI in patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL was evaluated in L-MIND. Patients (N = 81) received MONJUVI 12 mg/kg intravenously in combination with lenalidomide for a maximum of 12 cycles, followed by MONJUVI as monotherapy until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity as follows: Cycle of the 28-day cycle; Cycles of each 28-day cycle; Cycles 4 and beyond: Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle.
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 52% of patients who received MONJUVI. Permanent discontinuation of MONJUVI or lenalidomide due to an adverse reaction occurred in 25% of patients and permanent discontinuation of MONJUVI due to an adverse reaction occurred in 15%. The most frequent adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of MONJUVI were infections (5%), nervous system disorders (2.5%), and respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders (2.5%).
Dosage interruptions of MONJUVI or lenalidomide due to an adverse reaction occurred in 69% of patients and dosage interruptions of MONJUVI due to an adverse reaction occurred in 65%. The most frequent adverse reactions which required a dosage interruption of MONJUVI were blood and lymphatic system disorders (41%) and infections (27%). The most common adverse reactions (≥ 20%) were neutropenia, respiratory tract infection, fatigue, anemia, diarrhea, thrombocytopenia, cough, pyrexia, peripheral edema, and decreased appetite.
Table 4 summarizes the adverse reactions in L-MIND. MONJUVI was administered as follows: Cycle cycles. In the MONJUVI arm, serious adverse reactions occurred in 33% of patients, including serious infections in 24% of patients (including pneumonia and COVID-19 infection).
Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 1.5% of patients, including from COVID‑19, sepsis, and adenocarcinoma. Adverse reactions led to permanent discontinuation of MONJUVI in 11% of patients and dosage interruptions in 74%. The most common adverse reactions (≥ 20%) in recipients of MONJUVI, excluding laboratory abnormalities, were respiratory tract infections (including COVID-19 infection and pneumonia), diarrhea, rash, fatigue, constipation, musculoskeletal pain, and cough.
The most common Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥ 20%) were decreased neutrophils and decreased lymphocytes. Table 6 summarizes the adverse reactions in inMIND. Adverse reactions occurring at least 5% more frequently in the MONJUVI arm included COVID-19 infection, pneumonia, diarrhea, pruritus, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, and mucositis.
Table 6: Adverse Reactions (≥ 10%) in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Follicular Lymphoma Who Received MONJUVI in inMIND In the MONJUVI arm, clinically relevant adverse reactions in < 10% of patients with relapsed or refractory FL included thrombosis, febrile neutropenia, second primary malignancy, sepsis, interstitial lung disease, and tumor lysis syndrome.

Warnings & Cautions for Monjuvi
Infusion-Related Reactions MONJUVI can cause infusion-related reactions. In L-MIND, infusion-related reactions occurred in 6% of the 81 patients with DLBCL who received MONJUVI. Eighty percent of infusion-related reactions occurred during cycle 1 or 2.
In inMIND, infusion-related reactions occurred in 16% of the 274 patients with FL who received MONJUVI in combination with lenalidomide and rituximab. Signs and symptoms included fever, chills, rash, flushing, dyspnea, and hypertension. These reactions were generally managed with temporary interruption of the infusion and/or with supportive medication.
Premedicate patients prior to starting MONJUVI infusion. Monitor patients frequently during infusion. Based on the severity of the infusion-related reaction, interrupt or discontinue MONJUVI.
Institute appropriate medical management.
Myelosuppression MONJUVI can cause serious or severe myelosuppression, including neutropenia, lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia. Neutropenia led to treatment discontinuation in 3.7% of the patients with DLBCL. Febrile neutropenia occurred in 12%.
Febrile neutropenia occurred in 4.4%. Monitor CBCs before each treatment cycle and throughout treatment. Monitor patients with neutropenia for signs of infection.
Consider granulocyte colony-stimulating factor administration. Withhold MONJUVI based on the severity of the adverse reaction. Refer to the lenalidomide prescribing information for dosage modifications.
Infections Fatal and serious infections, including opportunistic infections, occurred in patients during treatment with MONJUVI and following the last dose. In L-MIND, 73% of the 81 patients with DLBCL who received MONJUVI developed an infection. Grade 3 or higher infection occurred in 30%.
Infection-related deaths occurred in 2.5% of patients, including a case of progressive multifocal leukoencephalophathy (PML). The most frequent Grade 3 or higher infection was pneumonia (7%). The most frequent infections of any grade were respiratory tract infections (51%, including pneumonias) and urinary tract infection (17%).
Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection and manage infections as appropriate. Consider infection prophylaxis per institutional guidelines. Consider treatment with subcutaneous or intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) as appropriate.
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on its mechanism of action, MONJUVI may cause fetal B-cell depletion when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with MONJUVI and for 3 months after the last dose.
The combination of MONJUVI with lenalidomide and of MONJUVI with lenalidomide and rituximab is contraindicated in pregnant women because lenalidomide can cause birth defects and death of the unborn child. Refer to the lenalidomide prescribing information on use during pregnancy.
Pregnancy Safety for Monjuvi
Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on its mechanism of action, MONJUVI may cause fetal B-cell depletion when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on MONJUVI use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk. Animal reproductive toxicity studies have not been conducted with tafasitamab-cxix.
In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is respectively. MONJUVI is administered in combination with lenalidomide, as well as in combination with lenalidomide and rituximab for up to 12 cycles. Lenalidomide can cause embryo-fetal harm and is contraindicated for use in pregnancy.
Refer to the lenalidomide prescribing information for additional information. Lenalidomide is only available through a REMS program. Clinical Considerations Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions Immunoglobulin G (IgG) monoclonal antibodies are transferred across the placenta.
Based on its mechanism of action, MONJUVI may cause depletion of fetal CD19 positive immune cells. Defer administering live vaccines to neonates and infants exposed to tafasitamab-cxix in utero until a hematology evaluation is completed. Tafasitamab-cxix is an IgG antibody and thus has the potential to cross the placental barrier permitting direct fetal exposure and depleting fetal B lymphocytes.
Pediatric Use of Monjuvi
Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of MONJUVI in pediatric patients have not been established.
Clinical Studies of Monjuvi
Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma
The efficacy of MONJUVI in combination with lenalidomide followed by MONJUVI as monotherapy was evaluated in L-MIND, an open-label, multicenter, single arm trial (NCT02399085). Eligible patients had relapsed or refractory DLBCL after 1 to 3 prior systemic therapies, including a CD20-directed cytolytic antibody, and were not candidates for high dose chemotherapy (HDC) followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Race was collected in 92% of patients; of these, 95% were White, and 3% were Asian.
Thirty-two patients (45%) were refractory to their last prior therapy and 30 (42%) were refractory to rituximab. Nine patients (13%) had received prior ASCT. Efficacy was established based on best overall response rate, defined as the proportion of complete and partial responders, and duration of response, as assessed by an Independent Review Committee using the International Working Group Response Criteria (Cheson, 2007).
Results are summarized in Table 9. Table 9: Efficacy Results in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma in L-MIND 21.7
Relapsed or Refractory Follicular Lymphoma
The efficacy of MONJUVI in combination with lenalidomide and rituximab in patients with relapsed or refractory FL was evaluated in inMIND, a randomized, double-blind, placebo‑controlled trial (NCT04680052). Patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive MONJUVI or placebo in combination with lenalidomide and rituximab. Randomization was stratified by progression of disease within 24 months after initial diagnosis (POD24) (yes versus no), refractoriness to prior CD20-directed antibody therapy (yes versus no), and the number of prior lines of systemic therapy (< 2 versus ≥ 2).
Patients on the control arm received the same regimen, but with placebo in lieu of MONJUVI. In total, 32% had POD24 and 43% had refractory disease to prior CD20-directed therapy. The major efficacy outcome measure was investigator-assessed progression‑free survival (PFS) using the Lugano criteria.
Efficacy results are summarized in Table 10 and Figure 1. The median duration of PFS follow-up was 14.1 months. Table 10: Efficacy Results in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory FL in inMIND Figure 1: Kaplan-Meier Curve for PFS by Investigator Assessment in inMIND At the time of the PFS analysis, the median overall survival had not been reached in either arm with a total of 38 deaths: 15 deaths (5.5%) in the MONJUVI arm and 23 deaths (8.4%) in the placebo arm.
There was no evidence of improvement in investigator-assessed PFS in the MONJUVI arm. MONJUVI is not indicated and is not recommended for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory MZL outside of controlled clinical trials.
