Lunsumio contains the active ingredient mosunetuzumab, which is a class of antibody. This is an oncological medication. It is used to treat adults with a blood cancer called follicular lymphoma (FL).

In FL, a type of white blood cells called ‘B cells’ become cancerous. Abnormal B cells do not function properly and grow very quickly, displacing normal B cells in the bone marrow and lymph nodes that help protect you from infections.

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

How Lunsumio works

The active ingredient of 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 in B cells, including cancerous B cells, and another target found in ‘T cells’, a different type of white blood cell. T cells are another part of the body's defenses that can destroy by invading cells, binding the two cells together as a bridge. Lunsumio encourages T cells to destroy cancerous B cells. This helps control FL and prevent its progression.

You should not be given Lunsumio

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

If you are unsure, speak with your doctor or nurse before using Lunsumio.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or nurse before Lunsumio is administered if you have any of the following (or are unsure):

• any history of heart, lung, or kidney problems
• you have an infection, or have had an infection in the past that lasted a long time or persists
• you need to get a vaccine or know that you will need one in the near future

If you have any of the above (or are unsure), contact your doctor or nurse before Lunsumio is administered.

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

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

• Before each infusion, you should be given medications to help reduce the possible adverse effects of cytokine release syndrome.
• Lymphohistiocytosis is a condition where the immune system produces too many cells that fight infections, 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 (ICANS)– is 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 experience 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 should be well hydrated and given medications that may help reduce high levels of uric acid. These may help reduce the possible adverse effects of tumor lysis syndrome.

• Tumor flare– since your cancer is being destroyed, you may react and appear to have a worsening tumor– this is called “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 medication should not be given to children or adolescents under 18 years old. This is because there is no information on its use in this age group.

Other medications and Lunsumio

Inform your doctor if you are taking, have taken recently, or may need to take any other medication. This includes medications obtained without a prescription and herbal remedies.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or think you may be pregnant, consult your doctor before using this medication. This is because Lunsumio may affect your unborn fetus.

• Do not use Lunsumio during pregnancy, unless after speaking with your doctor you agree that the benefits of treatment outweigh any risk to the unborn child.

Contraception

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

• Speak with your doctor or nurse about suitable contraceptive methods.

Breastfeeding

You should not breastfeed during and for 3 months after your last treatment. This is because it is not known if anything of Lunsumio is excreted in breast milk and may therefore affect the baby.

Driving and operating machinery

The influence of Lunsumio on the ability to drive and operate machinery is important. Due to the possible symptoms of ICANS, you should be careful while driving, cycling, or operating heavy or potentially hazardous machinery. If you currently experience such symptoms, avoid these activities and contact your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist. See section 4 for more information on adverse effects.

Lunsumio is administered under the supervision of an experienced doctor who has given these treatments. Follow the treatment schedule that your doctor has explained to you. In case of doubt, consult your doctor again.

How Lunsumio is Administered

It is administered through a vein, as an infusion.

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

Medicines Administered Before Treatment with Lunsumio

You must be administered other medicines 30 to 60 minutes before receiving Lunsumio. This is to help prevent reactions with 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 Administered

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

In Cycle 1, you will be administered 3 doses of Lunsumio in the 21 days:

• Day 1: 1 mg
• Day 8: 2 mg
• Day 15: 60 mg

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

• Day 1: 60 mg

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

• Day 1: 30 mg

If You Miss a Dose of Lunsumio

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

If You Interrupt Treatment with Lunsumio

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

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