4.1 Therapeutic indications
RYBREVANT is indicated:
- in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed for the first-line treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with activating epidermal-growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion mutations.
- in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R substitution mutations, whose disease has progressed on or after treatment with osimertinib.
- as monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic (NSCLC) with activating (EGFR) exon 20 insertion mutations whose disease has progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy.
4.2 Posology and method of administration
RYBREVANT should be administered by a healthcare professional with appropriate medical support to manage infusion-related reactions (IRRs) if they occur (see section 4.4). Administer pre-infusion medications (see Pre-infusion medications). Administer diluted RYBREVANT intravenously according to the infusion rates in Tables 4 and 5, with the initial dose as a split infusion on Week 1 on Day 1 and Day 2. When considering the use of RYBREVANT, EGFR, exon 20 insertion mutation presence should be established using a validated test (see section 5.1).
Posology - adults (u2265 18 years)
Every 3 Weeks
The recommended dosage of RYBREVANT, when used in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed, is provided in Table 1 (see Infusion Rates u2013 Table 4).

Duration of treatment
It is recommended that patients are treated with RYBREVANT until unacceptable toxicity or lack of clinical benefit.
Pre-infusion medications
Prior to initial infusion of RYBREVANT (Week 1, Days 1 and 2), administer antihistamines, antipyretics, and glucocorticoids to reduce the risk of IRRs. For subsequent doses, administer antihistamines and antipyretics. Administer antiemetics as needed.

* Required at all doses. u2021 Required at initial dose (Week 1, Days 1) + Required at second dose (Week 1, Day 2); optional for subsequent doses.
Infusion Rates
Administer RYBREVANT infusion every 3 weeks intravenously according to the infusion rates in Table 4 and administer RYBREVANT infusion every 2 weeks intravenously according to the infusion rates in Table 5. Due to the frequency of IRRs at the first dose, infusion via a peripheral vein at Week 1 and Week 2 should be considered to minimise medicine exposure in the event of an IRR; infusion via central line may be administered for subsequent weeks. It is recommended for the first dose to be diluted as close to administration as possible to allow for maximal flexibility in IRR management.

4.3 Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to amivantamab or to any of the excipients of RYBREVANT (see section 6.1).
4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use
The data described in this section reflects the safety profile of patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC, including 380 patients who received RYBREVANT monotherapy in Study EDI1001, 151 patients who received RYBREVANT in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed in Study NSC3001, 130 patients who received RYBREVANT in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed in Study NSC3002.
Infusion-related reactions
Infusion-related reactions may occur in patients treated with RYBREVANT. The most frequent signs and symptoms include chills, nausea, dyspnea, flushing, chest discomfort, and vomiting. Infusion-related reactions occurred in 60% of patients treated with RYBREVANT. 93 % of IRRs were Grade 1-2. 99 % of IRRs occurred at the first infusion with a median time to onset of 60 minutes. The most frequent signs and symptoms include chills, nausea, dyspnoea, flushing, chest discomfort, and vomiting. Prior to initial infusion (Week 1) of RYBREVANT, administer antihistamines, antipyretics, and glucocorticoids to reduce the risk of IRRs. For subsequent doses, administer antihistamines and antipyretics. Administer the initial infusion of RYBREVANT in split doses on Week 1, Days 1 and 2 (see section 4.2). Treat patients with RYBREVANT in a setting with appropriate medical support necessary to treat IRRs. Interrupt RYBREVANT infusion at the first sign of IRRs and institute post-infusion medication as clinically indicated. Upon resolution of symptoms, resume the infusion at 50 % of the previous rate. For recurrent Grade 3 or 4 IRRs, permanently discontinue RYBREVANT (see section 4.2).
Interstitial lung disease
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) or ILD-like adverse reactions (e.g. pneumonitis) occurred in 2.4 % of patients treated with RYBREVANT, including 0,1% fatal events. Patients with a medical history of ILD, medicine-induced ILD, radiation pneumonitis that required steroid treatment, or any evidence of clinically active ILD have not been studied. Monitor patients for symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis (e.g., dyspnoea, cough, fever). If symptoms develop, interrupt treatment with RYBREVANT pending investigation of these symptoms. Evaluate suspected ILD and initiate appropriate treatment as necessary. Discontinue RYBREVANT in patients with confirmed ILD (see section 4.2).
Skin and nail reactions
Skin and nail reactions may occur in patients treated with RYBREVANT. Rash (including dermatitis acneiform), pruritus and dry skin occurred in patients treated with RYBREVANT. Most cases were Grade 1 or 2, with Grade 3 events occurring in 8.3% of patients. Rash leading to RYBREVANT discontinuation occurred in 1.2% of patients. Rash usually developed within the first 4 weeks of therapy, with a median time to onset of 14 days. Nail toxicity occurred in patients treated with RYBREVANT. Most events were Grade 1 or 2, with Grade 3-4 nail toxicity occurring in 3 % of patients. Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) has been reported. Permanently discontinue RYBREVANT if TEN is confirmed. A prophylactic approach to rash prevention should be considered. Instruct patients to limit sun exposure during and for 2 months after RYBREVANT therapy. Protective clothing and use of sunscreen is advisable. Alcohol-free emollient cream is recommended for dry areas with the use of RYBREVANT. If skin or nail reactions develop, start topical corticosteroids and topical and/or oral antibiotics. For Grade 3 or poorly-tolerated Grade 2 events, add systemic antibiotics and oral steroids and consider dermatologic consultation. Withhold, dose reduce, or permanently discontinue RYBREVANT based on severity (see section 4.2).
Eye disorders
Eye disorders, including keratitis (0.5 %), occurred in patients treated with RYBREVANT. Other reported adverse reactions included dry eye, blurred vision, eye pruritus, visual impairment, aberrant eyelash growth, ocular hyperaemia, conjunctival hyperaemia, blepharitis and uveitis. All events were Grade 1-2. Refer patients presenting with worsening eye symptoms promptly to an ophthalmologist and advise discontinuation of contact lenses until symptoms are evaluated.
Sodium
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per 7 mL, that is to say essentially u2018sodium-freeu2019.
4.5 Interaction with other medicines and other forms of interaction
No medicine interaction studies have been performed. No clinical data are available on the efficacy and safety of vaccinations in patients taking amivantamab. Avoid the use of live or live-attenuated vaccines while patients are taking amivantamab.
4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation
Women of childbearing potential / Contraception
Due to the risk that RYBREVANT can cause foetal harm when administered to pregnant women, advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 3 months after the last dose of RYBREVANT. Male patients must use effective contraception (e.g., condom) and not donate or store semen during treatment and for 3 months after the last dose of RYBREVANT.
Pregnancy
There are no human or animal data to assess the risk of RYBREVANT in pregnancy. Administration of other EGFR and MET inhibitor molecules to pregnant animals has resulted in an increased incidence of impairment of embryo-foetal development, embryolethality, and abortion. Therefore, based on its mechanism of action and findings in animal models, RYBREVANT could cause foetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. If the patient becomes pregnant while taking this medicine, the patient should be informed of the potential risk to the foetus.
Breastfeeding
It is not known whether RYBREVANT is excreted in human or animal milk or affects milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions from RYBREVANT in breastfed infants, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with RYBREVANT and for 3 months following the last dose of RYBREVANT.
Fertility
No data are available to determine potential effects of RYBREVANT on fertility in males or females.
4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines
Rybrevant may have moderate influence on the ability to drive and use machines. Please see section 4.8 (e.g., dizziness, fatigue, visual impairment). If patients experience treatment-related symptoms, including vision-related adverse reactions, affecting their ability to concentrate and react, it is recommended that they do not drive or use machines until the effect subsides.
4.8 Undesirable effects
