A subcutaneous option reshaping EGFR-mutated NSCLC care

In cancer care, few things are more precious than time. For patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth-factor receptor (EGFR) mutations including exon 19 deletion, exon 21 L858R substitution, or exon 20 insertion, a subcutaneous (SC) treatment called RYBREVANT FASPRO™ (amivantamab and hyaluronidase-lpuj) offers a more convenient way to receive RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw)-based therapy, with the possibility of living longer, which could mean spending more time with the people who matter most.

RYBREVANT FASPRO™ is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to hyaluronidase or to any of its excipients.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS for RYBREVANT® and RYBREVANT FASPRO™ include: infusion-related reactions (IRRs) (RYBREVANT®), hypersensitivity & administration-related reactions (ARRs) (RYBREVANT FASPRO™), interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis, venous thromboembolism, dermatologic adverse reactions, hepatotoxicity, ocular toxicity and embryo-fetal toxicity. See additional safety information below.

A First-of-Its-Kind Approval

The approval of RYBREVANT FASPRO™ by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration marks a turning point in the lung cancer treatment landscape, offering an SC treatment approved for all current RYBREVANT® indications, with flexible dosing that allows for monthly* or every-two-week administration depending on the regimen. This SC option offers consistent pharmacokinetics and safety results compared to intravenous (IV) RYBREVANT®, while reducing administration-related reactions (ARR) (13% vs 66%), and decreasing the administration time from five hours to approximately five minutes per injection(s).**1,2

*Following weekly doses from weeks 1 to 4. For patients currently following a Q2W dosing regimen, switch to subcutaneous and/or Q4W dosing at their next scheduled dose after initial weekly dosing has been completed (on or after week 5).

**This reflects administration time only; actual clinic time may vary.

This advancement builds on decades of progress in EGFR-targeted research. Early discoveries of EGFR mutations and successive generations of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) reshaped the way NSCLC is treated, moving beyond conventional chemotherapy to more precise, targeted approaches.3,4 Within this wave of innovation, therapies such as RYBREVANT® were developed to expand treatment options for patients with specific EGFR mutations not effectively targeted by existing therapies.4 RYBREVANT® is a bispecific antibody that works through a unique multi-targeted mechanism of action that blocks and degrades EGFR and MET and activates the immune system. When paired with LAZCLUZE® (lazertinib), a third-generation EGFR TKI that blocks EGFR intracellularly, this combination provides complementary extra- and intracellular antitumor activity and central nervous system penetration.5-8 The combination became the first chemotherapy-free combination regimen studied in a Phase 3 clinical trial to show that patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC receiving first-line treatment could live longer than those treated with prior standards of care.6,9

Delivering on Innovation: The Research that Led to Subcutaneous Delivery

The efficacy of RYBREVANT FASPRO™ is established in well-controlled trials with IV RYBREVANT® including the Phase 3 PALOMA-3 trial which compared subcutaneous RYBREVANT FASPRO™ with LAZCLUZE® (n=206) to the IV regimen of RYBREVANT® plus LAZCLUZE® (n=212). The study met both co-primary pharmacokinetics endpoints which demonstrated comparable systemic drug exposure for the subcutaneous and IV formulations. Secondary endpoints included overall response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), duration of response (DoR), and safety. Secondary efficacy results showed similar ORR for both subcutaneous and IV formulations. Secondary analyses were not powered for statistical significance.1

  • Pharmacokinetics: SC delivery achieved drug exposure levels similar to IV RYBREVANT® (Cycle 2 Day 1 Ctrough 365 vs 314 µg/mL; GMR 1.15; [90% CI, 1.04 to 1.26]; Cycle 2 AUCD1-D15 142,236 vs 135,552 µg·h/mL; GMR 1.03; [90% CI, 0.98-1.09]), meeting primary study goals.
  • Reduced administration time: SC delivery took a median of 4.8 minutes compared with about five hours for the first IV dose. This reflects administration time only; actual clinic time may vary.
  • Fewer key adverse events: The SC regimen showed a five-fold reduction in ARRs (13% vs 66%), and lower rates of blood clots (11% vs 18%).
  • Patient satisfaction: More than 80% of patients reported that the SC option was more convenient, with 85% rating it convenient at both the start and end of treatment compared with 52% (start of treatment) and 35% (end of treatment) for IV.10,11

The safety profile of RYBREVANT FASPRO™ was generally consistent with the IV formulation when used in combination with LAZCLUZE®, with lower rates of ARRs (13% vs 66%) and venous thromboembolism (11% vs 18%). ARRs were not only less frequent but also milder, with fewer grade 3 or 4 events observed (0.5% vs 3.8%). The most common adverse reactions, affecting at least 20% of patients, included rash (80% vs 78%), nail toxicity (58% vs 56%), and musculoskeletal pain (50% vs 35%).1

Building on Survival Gains

These findings are part of the larger story of RYBREVANT®-based regimens and their role in advancing patient care. In the Phase 3 MARIPOSA trial, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, the combination of IV RYBREVANT® and LAZCLUZE® delivered unmatched overall survival compared with osimertinib monotherapy in newly diagnosed patients with EGFR exon 19 deletion and exon 21 L858R substitution mutations. Patients receiving the combination experienced a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival, with median overall survival projected to exceed four years. MARIPOSA showed6:

  • Longer PFS: Patients lived approximately seven months longer without disease progression on the combination (median PFS 23.7 vs 16.6 months with osimertinib; HR 0.70; 95% CI, 0.58-0.85; P=0.0002), lowering the risk of progression or death by 30%.
  • Improved OS: Follow-up data confirmed a statistically significant survival benefit (HR 0.75; 95% CI, 0.61-0.92; P=0.0048). The median overall survival for the combination has not yet been reached (95% CI, 42.9-not estimable) but is projected to exceed four years–more than a year beyond what was possible with osimertinib.
  • Safety outcomes: Most adverse reactions with IV RYBREVANT® plus LAZCLUZE® were Grade 1 or 2. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 49% of patients treated with the combination compared with 33% of patients treated with osimertinib. Serious adverse reactions reported in more than 2% of patients included venous thromboembolism (11%), pneumonia (4%), rash (2.9%), ILD/pneumonitis (2.9%), COVID-19 (2.4%), pleural effusion (2.1%), and infusion-related reactions (2.1%).

Projected median OS is based on modeling using observed HR and median OS in the osimertinib group, assuming exponential distribution of OS in both arms. The baseline factors were: mutation type, race, brain metastases, age, sex, ECOG PS and weight. This is a conservative estimate; final results may vary.

A New Experience of Care

For clinicians and patients, this milestone is as much about experience as outcomes. Joshua Bauml, M.D., Vice President and Lung/Head & Neck Cancer Disease Area Leader at Johnson & Johnson, noted that the goal was to improve outcomes and help make treatment easier to integrate into daily life. “RYBREVANT FASPRO™ delivers consistent results similar to what we see with IV treatment, helping patients live longer, while also preserving chemotherapy for later and doing it in a way that’s quicker for patients, easier for them to manage, and less taxing on healthcare teams,” he said.

The Next Chapter in NSCLC Treatment

With approvals now in both the US and Europe, RYBREVANT FASPRO™ is set to improve care for people with EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC. As part of a treatment approach that has raised survival expectations, the SC regimen offers a simpler experience and a future where life-extending therapies don’t have to mean long administration times in a clinic or infusion center. Actual time on site can vary, but the shift to SC helps treatment fit more easily into the lives of the patients who need it.
