Columvi Adverse Reactions

The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described in Precautions: Cytokine Release Syndrome; Neurologic Toxicity; Serious Infections; Tumor Flare.
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.
Relapsed or Refractory DLBCL, NOS or LBCL Arising from Follicular Lymphoma: Study NP30179: The safety of COLUMVI was evaluated in Study NP30179, a multi-cohort, multicenter, single-arm clinical trial that included 154 adult patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) after two or more lines of systemic therapy [see Pharmacology: Pharmacodynamics: Clinical Studies: Relapsed or Refractory DLBCL, NOS or LBCL Arising from Follicular Lymphoma under Actions]. The trial required an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1, absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/µL, platelet count ≥ 75,000/µL independent of transfusion, serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or creatinine clearance (CLcr) ≥ 50 mL/min, and hepatic transaminases ≤ 3 x ULN. The trial excluded patients with active or previous central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma or CNS disease, acute infection, recent infection requiring intravenous antibiotics, or prior allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
Patients received pretreatment with a single dose of obinutuzumab on Day 1 of Cycle 1 (seven days prior to start of COLUMVI). Following premedication, COLUMVI was administered by intravenous infusion according to the step-up dosing schedule with 2.5 mg on Day 8 of Cycle 1, and 10 mg on Day 15 of Cycle 1. Patients received the 30 mg COLUMVI dose by intravenous infusion on Day 1 of subsequent cycles for a maximum of 12 cycles (including step-up dosing). Each cycle was 21 days. Patients were hospitalized during and for 24 hours following completion of at least the first step-up dose.
Of the 154 patients who initiated study treatment, 145 received COLUMVI; nine patients (6%) did not receive COLUMVI due to infection, progressive disease, or patient decision. Patients received a median of 5 cycles of COLUMVI with 30% receiving all 12 cycles of COLUMVI.
Of patients who received COLUMVI, the median age was 66 years (range: 21 to 90 years); 66% were male; 77% were White, 4.8% were Asian, 1.4% were Black or African American, 6% were Hispanic or Latino. The main diagnoses were DLBCL, NOS and LBCL arising from follicular lymphoma.
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 48% of patients who received COLUMVI. Serious adverse reactions in ≥ 2% of patients included CRS, COVID-19 infection, sepsis, and tumor flare. Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 5% of patients from COVID-19 infection (3.4%), sepsis (1.4%), and delirium (0.6%).
Adverse reactions led to permanent discontinuation of COLUMVI in 7% of patients, including from infection, delirium, neutropenia, and CRS. Adverse reactions led to dose interruptions of COLUMVI in 19% of patients, most frequently (≥ 2%) from neutropenia and thrombocytopenia.
The most common (≥ 20%) adverse reactions, excluding laboratory terms, were CRS, musculoskeletal pain, rash, and fatigue. The most common Grade 3 to 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥ 20%) were lymphocyte count decreased, phosphate decreased, neutrophil count decreased, uric acid increased, and fibrinogen decreased.

Clinically relevant adverse reactions occurring in < 10% of patients who received COLUMVI included infusion-related reaction, peripheral neuropathy, pneumonia, mental status changes, vomiting, tumor lysis syndrome, febrile neutropenia, upper respiratory tract infection, sepsis, herpes zoster infection, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, tremor, and myelitis.
