Zynlonta Drug Information

ZYNLONTA is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma after two or more lines of systemic therapy, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified, DLBCL arising from low-grade lymphoma, and high-grade B-cell lymphoma. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).

Recommendations for Dosage Delays

If dosing is delayed by more than 3 weeks due to toxicity related to ZYNLONTA, reduce subsequent doses by 50%. If toxicity reoccurs following dose reduction, consider discontinuation. Use appropriate aseptic technique.

ZYNLONTA is a hazardous drug. Follow applicable special handling and disposal procedures. 1 Dose calculation Calculate the total dose (mg) required based on the patient's weight and prescribed dose. For patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥35 kg/m 2, calculate the dose based on an adjusted body weight (ABW) as follows: ABW in kg = 35 kg/m 2 × (height in meters) 2 More than one vial may be needed to achieve the calculated dose.

Convert the calculated dose (mg) to volume using 5 mg/mL, which is the concentration of ZYNLONTA after reconstitution. Reconstitution of lyophilized ZYNLONTA Reconstitute each ZYNLONTA vial using 2.2 mL of Sterile Water for Injection, USP with the stream directed toward the inside wall of the vial to obtain a final concentration of 5 mg/mL. Swirl the vial gently until the powder is completely dissolved.

Do not shake. Do not expose to direct sunlight. Inspect the reconstituted solution for particulate matter and discoloration.

The solution should appear clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to slightly yellow. Do not use if the reconstituted solution is discolored, is cloudy, or contains visible particulates. Use reconstituted ZYNLONTA immediately.

If not used immediately, store the reconstituted solution in the vial for up to 4 hours refrigerated at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) or room temperature 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F). Do not freeze. The product does not contain a preservative.

Discard unused vial after reconstitution if the recommended storage time is exceeded. Dilution in infusion bag Withdraw the required volume of reconstituted solution from the ZYNLONTA vial using a sterile syringe. Discard any unused portion left in the vial.

Add the calculated dose volume of ZYNLONTA solution into a 50 mL infusion bag of 5% Dextrose Injection, USP. Gently mix the intravenous bag by slowly inverting the bag. Do not shake.

If not used immediately, store the diluted ZYNLONTA infusion solution refrigerated at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) for up to 24 hours or at room temperature 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F) for up to 8 hours. Discard diluted infusion bag if storage time exceeds these limits. Do not freeze.

No incompatibilities have been observed between ZYNLONTA and intravenous infusion bags with product-contacting materials of polyvinylchloride (PVC), polyolefin (PO), and PAB ® (copolymer of ethylene and propylene). Administration Administer by intravenous infusion over 30 minutes using a dedicated infusion line equipped with a sterile, non-pyrogenic, low-protein binding in-line or add-on filter (0.2- or 0.22-micron pore size) and catheter. Extravasation of ZYNLONTA has been associated with irritation, swelling, pain, and/or tissue damage, which may be severe.

Monitor the infusion site for possible subcutaneous infiltration during drug administration. Do not mix ZYNLONTA with or administer as an infusion with other drugs.

Clinical Trials Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The pooled safety population described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to ZYNLONTA as a single agent at an initial dose of 0.15 mg/kg in 215 patients with DLBCL in studies ADCT-402-201 (LOTIS-2) and ADCT-402-101, which includes 145 patients from LOTIS-2 treated with 0.15 mg/kg × 2 cycles followed by 0.075 mg/kg for subsequent cycles. In this pooled safety population of 215 patients, the most common (>20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were thrombocytopenia, increased gamma-glutamyltransferase, neutropenia, anemia, hyperglycemia, transaminase elevation, fatigue, hypoalbuminemia, rash, edema, nausea, and musculoskeletal pain.

Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma LOTIS-2 The safety of ZYNLONTA was evaluated in LOTIS-2, an open-label, single-arm clinical trial that enrolled 145 patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), including high-grade B-cell lymphoma, after at least two prior systemic therapies. The trial required hepatic transaminases, including gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), ≤2.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN), total bilirubin ≤1.5 times ULN, and creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 28% of patients receiving ZYNLONTA.

The most common serious adverse reactions that occurred in ≥2% receiving ZYNLONTA were febrile neutropenia, pneumonia, edema, pleural effusion, and sepsis. Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 1%, due to infection. Permanent treatment discontinuation due to an adverse reaction of ZYNLONTA occurred in 19% of patients.

Adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation of ZYNLONTA in ≥2% were gamma-glutamyltransferase increased, edema, and effusion. Dose reductions due to an adverse reaction of ZYNLONTA occurred in 8% of patients. Adverse reactions resulting in dose reduction of ZYNLONTA in ≥4% was gamma-glutamyltransferase increased.

Dosage interruptions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 49% of patients receiving ZYNLONTA. Adverse reactions leading to interruption of ZYNLONTA in ≥5% were gamma-glutamyltransferase increased, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and edema. Table 2 summarizes the adverse reactions in LOTIS-2.

Table 2: Adverse Reactions (≥10%) in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory DLBCL who received ZYNLONTA in LOTIS-2 Clinically relevant adverse reactions in <10% of patients (all grades) who received ZYNLONTA included: Blood and lymphatic system disorders: Febrile neutropenia (3%) Cardiac disorders: Pericardial effusion (3%) Infections: Pneumonia Pneumonia includes pneumonia and lung infection (5%), sepsis Sepsis includes sepsis, escherichia sepsis, and septic shock (2%) Skin and subcutaneous disorders: Hyperpigmentation (4%) General disorders: Infusion site extravasation (<1%) Selected Other Adverse Reactions Inflammatory-related conditions were reported in 3% of patients in LOTIS-2, including pericarditis, pneumonitis, pleuritis, and dermatitis. Table 3 summarizes the laboratory abnormalities in LOTIS-2. Table 3: Select Laboratory Abnormalities (≥10%) That Worsened from Baseline in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory DLBCL Who Received ZYNLONTA in LOTIS-2 3 Other Clinical Trials Experience The following adverse reactions have been reported following administration of ZYNLONTA: Hepatotoxicity, including drug- induced liver injury (DILI).

Postmarketing Experience

The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of ZYNLONTA. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: Telangiectasia, including cutaneous collagenous vasculopathy, blister, rash vesicular.

Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on its mechanism of action, ZYNLONTA can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman, because it contains a genotoxic compound (SG3199) and affects actively dividing cells. There are no available data on the use of ZYNLONTA in pregnant women to evaluate for drug-associated risk. No animal reproduction studies were conducted with ZYNLONTA.

Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes.

In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. Data Animal Data Animal reproductive or developmental toxicity studies were not conducted with loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl. The cytotoxic component of ZYNLONTA, SG3199, crosslinks DNA, is genotoxic, and is toxic to rapidly dividing cells, suggesting it has the potential to cause embryotoxicity and teratogenicity.

Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of ZYNLONTA in pediatric patients have not been established.
