1. What is Lunsumio and what is it used for

Lunsumio contains the active substance mosunetuzumab, which is a type of antibody. This is a cancer medicine. It is used to treat adults who have a type of blood cancer called follicular lymphoma (FL).

In FL, a type of white blood cell called ‘B cells’ become cancerous. The abnormal B cells do not work properly and grow too quickly, pushing out normal B cells in the bone marrow and lymph nodes that help protect you from infections.

Lunsumio is given to patients who have tried at least two previous treatments for FL, when the cancer has not responded to them, or when it has come back.

How Lunsumio works

The active substance in Lunsumio, mosunetuzumab, is a monoclonal antibody, a type of protein that binds to specific targets in the body. In this case, mosunetuzumab binds to a target found on B cells, including cancerous B cells, and another target found on ‘T cells’, a different type of white blood cell. The ‘T cells’ are another part of the body's defenses that can destroy invading cells by binding to the two cells together like a bridge. Lunsumio encourages T cells to destroy cancerous B cells. This helps control FL and prevent it from getting worse.

2. What you need to know before you use Lunsumio

You should not be given Lunsumio

• if you are allergic to mosunetuzumab or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or nurse before using Lunsumio.

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor or nurse before you are given Lunsumio if any of the following apply to you (or if you are not sure):

• you have ever had heart, lung, or kidney problems
• you have an infection, or have had a long-lasting infection in the past or one that keeps coming back
• you need to have a vaccine or know you will need one in the near future

If any of the above apply to you (or if you are not sure), contact your doctor or nurse before you are given this medicine.

Contact your doctor immediately if you get symptoms of any of the following serious side effects listed below during or after treatment with Lunsumio. You may need additional medical treatment. The symptoms of each side effect are listed in section 4.

• Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS)– a condition associated with medicines that stimulate T cells.

• Before each infusion, you will be given medicines to help reduce the possible side effects of cytokine release syndrome.
• Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is a condition where the immune system produces too many cells that fight infection, called histiocytes and lymphocytes. The signs and symptoms can overlap with CRS, your doctor will check if you have this condition if your CRS does not respond to treatment or lasts longer than expected.

• Immune Effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome (ICANS)– a condition associated with reactions in the nervous system. Symptoms include feeling confused, memory problems, language or judgment problems, disorientation and confusion, often accompanied by hallucinations (seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not there), and being unable to concentrate.
• Tumor Lysis Syndrome– some people may have unusual levels of certain salts in the blood – caused by the rapid depletion of cancer cells during treatment.
• • Your doctor or nurse will do blood tests to check for this condition. Before each infusion, you will be well-hydrated and given medicines that can help reduce high levels of uric acid. These can help reduce the possible side effects of tumor lysis syndrome.

• Tumor Flare– as your cancer is being destroyed, it can react and seem like your tumor is getting worse – this is called a “tumor flare reaction”
• Infections– you may have signs of infection, which vary depending on where the infection is in the body.

Children and adolescents

This medicine must not be given to children or adolescents under 18 years. This is because there is no information on the use of this medicine in this age group.

Other medicines and Lunsumio

Tell your doctor if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines. This includes medicines obtained without a prescription and herbal medicines.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before taking this medicine. This is because Lunsumio may affect your unborn baby.

• Do not use Lunsumio during pregnancy unless you and your doctor decide that the benefits of treatment outweigh any risk to the unborn baby.

Contraception

Women who could become pregnant must use effective contraceptive methods during treatment –and for 3 months after the last dose of Lunsumio.

• Talk to your doctor or nurse about suitable contraceptive methods.

Breastfeeding

Do not breastfeed during and up to 3 months after your last treatment. This is because it is not known if any Lunsumio is passed into breast milk and could therefore affect the baby.

Driving and using machines

Lunsumio’s influence on the ability to drive and use machines is important. Due to the possible symptoms of ICANS, you should be careful while driving, cycling, or operating heavy or potentially dangerous machinery. If you currently have such symptoms, avoid these activities and contact your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist. See section 4 for more information on side effects.

3. How Lunsumio is administered

Lunsumio is given under the supervision of an experienced doctor. Follow the treatment schedule that your doctor has explained to you. If you are unsure, ask your doctor again.

How Lunsumio is administered

It is given into a vein, as a drip (infusion).

• It is given over 4 hours for the first cycle. Each cycle lasts 21 days, and in the first cycle, you will be given the infusion over 4 hours on day 1, day 8, and day 15.
• If the side effects are not too severe, the dose may be given over 2 hours for subsequent cycles.

Medicines given before treatment with Lunsumio

You will be given other medicines 30 to 60 minutes before receiving Lunsumio. This is to help prevent reactions to the infusion and fever. These other medicines may include:

• Corticosteroids – such as dexamethasone or methylprednisolone
• Paracetamol
• An antihistamine – such as diphenhydramine

How much Lunsumio is given

Lunsumio is usually given in 21-day cycles. The recommended treatment duration is at least 8 cycles of treatment. However, depending on the side effects and how the disease responds to treatment, you may be given up to 17 cycles.

In Cycle 1, you will be given 3 doses of Lunsumio over 21 days:

• Day 1: 1 mg
• Day 8: 2 mg

In Cycle 2, you will be given only one dose:

• Day 1: 60 mg

In Cycles 3 to 17, you will be given only one dose:

If you miss a dose of Lunsumio

If you miss an appointment, make another one as soon as possible. To make the treatment completely effective, it is very important not to miss any dose.

If you stop treatment with Lunsumio

Do not stop treatment with Lunsumio unless you have talked to your doctor. This is because stopping treatment may make your condition worse.

If you have any other questions about the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or nurse.
