USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS SECTION.


8USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS. Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. (8.2). Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. (8.2). 8.1Pregnancy. Risk SummaryBased on its mechanism of action, ZYNLONTA can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman, because it contains genotoxic compound (SG3199) and affects actively dividing cells [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) and Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)]. There are no available data on the use of ZYNLONTA in pregnant women to evaluate for drug-associated risk. No animal reproduction studies were conducted with ZYNLONTA. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to fetus. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.. Data. Animal DataAnimal reproductive or developmental toxicity studies were not conducted with loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl. The cytotoxic component of ZYNLONTA, SG3199, crosslinks DNA, is genotoxic, and is toxic to rapidly dividing cells, suggesting it has the potential to cause embryotoxicity and teratogenicity.. 8.2Lactation. Risk SummaryThere is no data on the presence of loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl or SG3199 in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with ZYNLONTA and for months after the last dose.. 8.3Females and Males of Reproductive Potential. ZYNLONTA can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].. Pregnancy TestingPregnancy testing is recommended for females of reproductive potential prior to initiating ZYNLONTA.. Contraception. FemalesAdvise women of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for months after the last dose.. MalesBecause of the potential for genotoxicity, advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during the treatment with ZYNLONTA and for months after the last dose [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].. Infertility. MalesBased on the results from animal studies, ZYNLONTA may impair fertility in males. The effects were not reversible in male cynomolgus monkeys during the 12-week drug-free period [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].. 8.4Pediatric Use. Safety and effectiveness of ZYNLONTA in pediatric patients have not been established.. 8.5Geriatric Use. Of the 145 patients with large B-cell lymphoma who received ZYNLONTA in clinical trials, 55% were 65 years of age and older, while 14% were 75 years of age and older [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients.. 8.6 Hepatic Impairment. No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin <= upper limit of normal [ULN] and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ULN or total bilirubin 1 to 1.5 ULN and any AST). Monitor patients with mild hepatic impairment for potential increased incidence of adverse reactions and modify the ZYNLONTA dosage in the event of adverse reactions [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].ZYNLONTA has not been studied in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin 1.5 ULN and any AST) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

6ADVERSE REACTIONS. The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:Effusion and Edema [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] Myelosuppression [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)] Infections [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)] Cutaneous Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)] Most common (>=20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, are thrombocytopenia, increased gamma-glutamyltransferase, neutropenia, anemia, hyperglycemia, transaminase elevation, fatigue, hypoalbuminemia, rash, edema, nausea, and musculoskeletal pain. (6.1)To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact ADC Therapeutics at 1-855-690-0340 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.. 6.1Clinical Trials Experience. Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.The pooled safety population described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to ZYNLONTA as single agent at an initial dose of 0.15 mg/kg in 215 patients with DLBCL in studies ADCT-402-201 (LOTIS-2) and ADCT-402-101, which includes 145 patients from LOTIS-2 treated with 0.15 mg/kg 2 cycles followed by 0.075 mg/kg for subsequent cycles. Among 215 patients who received ZYNLONTA, the median number of cycles was (range to 15) with 58% receiving three or more cycles and 30% receiving five or more cycles.In this pooled safety population of 215 patients, the most common (>20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were thrombocytopenia, increased gamma-glutamyltransferase, neutropenia, anemia, hyperglycemia, transaminase elevation, fatigue, hypoalbuminemia, rash, edema, nausea, and musculoskeletal pain.. Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. LOTIS-2The safety of ZYNLONTA was evaluated in LOTIS-2, an open-label, single-arm clinical trial that enrolled 145 patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), including high grade B-cell lymphoma, after at least two prior systemic therapies [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. The trial required hepatic transaminases, including gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), <=2.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN), total bilirubin <=1.5 times ULN, and creatinine clearance >=60 mL/min. Patients received ZYNLONTA 0.15 mg/kg every weeks for cycles, then 0.075 mg/kg every weeks for subsequent cycles and received treatment until progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity. Among the 145 patients, the median number of cycles received was 3, with 34% receiving or more cycles.The median age was 66 years (range 23 to 94), 59% were male, and 94% had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of to 1. Race was reported in 97% of patients; of these patients, 90% were White, 3% were Black, and 2% were Asian.Serious adverse reactions occurred in 28% of patients receiving ZYNLONTA. The most common serious adverse reactions that occurred in >=2% receiving ZYNLONTA were febrile neutropenia, pneumonia, edema, pleural effusion, and sepsis. Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 1%, due to infection.Permanent treatment discontinuation due to an adverse reaction of ZYNLONTA occurred in 19% of patients. Adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation of ZYNLONTA in >=2% were gamma-glutamyltransferase increased, edema, and effusion.Dose reductions due to an adverse reaction of ZYNLONTA occurred in 8% of patients. Adverse reactions resulting in dose reduction of ZYNLONTA in >=4% was gamma-glutamyltransferase increased.Dosage interruptions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 49% of patients receiving ZYNLONTA. Adverse reactions leading to interruption of ZYNLONTA in >=5% were gamma-glutamyltransferase increased, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and edema.Table summarizes the adverse reactions in LOTIS-2.Table 1: Adverse Reactions (>=10%) in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory DLBCL who received ZYNLONTA in LOTIS-2Adverse ReactionZYNLONTA (N=145)All Grades (%)Grades or (%)General Disorders and Administration Site ConditionsFatigueFatigue includes fatigue, asthenia, and lethargy 381No Grade adverse reactions occurred EdemaEdema includes edema, face edema, generalized edema, peripheral edema, ascites, fluid overload, peripheral swelling, swelling, and swelling face 283 Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue DisordersRashRash includes rash, rash erythematous, rash maculopapular, rash pruritic, rash pustular, erythema, generalized erythema, dermatitis, dermatitis acneiform, dermatitis bullous, dermatitis exfoliative generalized, and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome 302 Pruritus120Photosensitivity reaction102 Gastrointestinal DisordersNausea230Diarrhea172 Abdominal painAbdominal pain includes abdominal pain, abdominal discomfort, abdominal pain lower, and abdominal pain upper 143Vomiting130Constipation120Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue DisordersMusculoskeletal painMusculoskeletal pain includes musculoskeletal pain, musculoskeletal chest pain, musculoskeletal discomfort, back pain, limb discomfort, myalgia, neck pain, non-cardiac chest pain, and pain in extremity 231 Metabolism and Nutrition DisordersDecreased appetite150Respiratory DisordersDyspneaDyspnea includes dyspnea, and dyspnea exertional 131 Pleural effusion102 InfectionUpper respiratory tract infectionUpper respiratory tract infection includes upper respiratory tract infection, upper respiratory tract congestion, nasopharyngitis, rhinitis, rhinovirus infection, and sinusitis 10<1 Clinically relevant adverse reactions in <10% of patients (all grades) who received ZYNLONTA included:Blood and lymphatic system disorders: Febrile neutropenia (3%)Cardiac disorders: Pericardial effusion (3%)Infections: PneumoniaPneumonia includes pneumonia and lung infection (5%), sepsisSepsis includes sepsis, escherichia sepsis, and septic shock (2%)Skin and subcutaneous disorders: Hyperpigmentation (4%)General disorders: Infusion site extravasation (<1%).

Inflammatory-related conditions were reported in 3% of patients in LOTIS-2, including pericarditis, pneumonitis, pleuritis, and dermatitis.. 6.2Immunogenicity. As with all therapeutic proteins, there is potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies in the studies described below with the incidence of antibodies to loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl in other studies or to other products may be misleading.In LOTIS-2, of 134 patients tested positive for antibodies against loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl after treatment. The potential effect of anti-drug antibodies to ZYNLONTA on pharmacokinetics, efficacy, or safety is unknown.

ANIMAL PHARMACOLOGY & OR TOXICOLOGY SECTION.


13.2Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology. Inflammatory-mediated toxicities associated with PBDs have been observed at low incidence in animals. In repeat-dose toxicity studies in cynomolgus monkeys, administration of loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl was associated with potential inflammatory mediated-toxicities, including in the lungs and kidneys. Renal toxicity including increased kidney weights and nephropathy with variable inflammation and fibrosis that was reversible was observed in monkeys. Black skin spots potentially related to phototoxicity were observed and were still present after the 12-week treatment-free period.

CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION.


13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl or SG3199.SG3199 was genotoxic in an in vitro micronucleus test and chromosome aberration assay using human lymphocytes through clastogenic mechanism. These results are consistent with the pharmacological effect of SG3199 as covalent DNA crosslinking agent. Results of bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test) were inconclusive due to cytotoxicity.Fertility studies have not been conducted with loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl. Results from repeat-dose toxicity studies with intravenous administration of loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl in cynomolgus monkeys indicate the potential for impaired male reproductive function and fertility. Administration of loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl to cynomolgus monkeys every weeks at 0.6 mg/kg for total of doses, or every weeks at 0.3 mg/kg for 13 weeks resulted in adverse findings that included decreased weight and/or size of the testes and epididymis, atrophy of the seminiferous tubules, germ cell degeneration, and/or reduced sperm content. The dose of 0.3 mg/kg in animals results in an exposure (AUC) that is approximately times the exposure at the maximum recommended human dose [MRHD] of 0.15 mg/kg. Findings were not reversible at the end of the 12-week recovery period following or 13 weeks of dosing.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.


12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. 12.1Mechanism of Action. Loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting CD19. The monoclonal IgG1 kappa antibody component binds to human CD19, transmembrane protein expressed on the surface of cells of B-lineage origin. The small molecule component is SG3199, PBD dimer and alkylating agent.Upon binding to CD19, loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl is internalized followed by release of SG3199 via proteolytic cleavage. The released SG3199 binds to the DNA minor groove and forms highly cytotoxic DNA interstrand crosslinks, subsequently inducing cell death. Loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl had anticancer activity in animal models of lymphoma.. 12.2Pharmacodynamics. Higher loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl exposure in Cycle was associated with higher incidence of some Grade >=2 adverse reactions, including skin and nail reactions, liver function test abnormalities and increased gamma-glutamyltransferase. Lower loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl exposure in Cycle was associated with lower efficacy over the dose range of 0.015-0.2 mg/kg (0.1 to 1.33 times the maximum recommended dose).. Cardiac ElectrophysiologyAt the maximum recommended therapeutic dose of 0.15 mg/kg during Cycle and Cycle 2, loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl does not cause large mean increases (i.e., >20 msec) in the QTc interval.. 12.3Pharmacokinetics. The exposure of loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl at the approved recommended dosage in Cycle and at steady state is shown in Table 3. Loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl steady state Cmax was 28.2% lower than the Cmax after the first dose. The time to reach steady state was 210 days.Table 3: Loncastuximab Tesirine-lpyl Exposure ParametersData presented as mean and coefficient of variation (CV %) TimeCmax (ng/mL)AUCtau (ng day/mL)Cmax Maximum observed serum concentration; AUCtau Area under curve over the dosing intervalCycle 22,911 (35.3%)21,665 (54.1%)Steady state1,776 (32.1%)16,882 (38.2%). DistributionThe mean (CV%) of loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl volume of distribution was 7.11 (26.6%) L.. EliminationThe mean (CV%) of loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl clearance decreased with time from 0.499 L/day (89.3%) after single dose to 0.275 L/day (38.2%) at steady state. The mean (standard deviation) half-life of loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl was 20.8 (7.06) days at steady state.. MetabolismThe monoclonal antibody portion of loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl is expected to be metabolized into small peptides by catabolic pathways. The small molecule cytotoxin, SG3199, is metabolized by CYP3A4/5 in vitro.. ExcretionThe major excretion pathways of SG3199 have not been studied in humans. SG3199 is expected to be minimally renally excreted..

CLINICAL STUDIES SECTION.


14CLINICAL STUDIES. 14.1 Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma. The efficacy of ZYNLONTA was evaluated in LOTIS-2 (NCT03589469), an open-label, single-arm trial in 145 adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) after at least prior systemic regimens. The trial excluded patients with bulky disease and active central nervous system lymphoma. Patients received ZYNLONTA 0.15 mg/kg every weeks for cycles, then 0.075 mg/kg every weeks for subsequent cycles and received treatment until progressive disease, or unacceptable toxicity.Of the 145 patients enrolled, the median age was 66 years (range 23 to 94), 59% male, and 94% had an ECOG performance status of to 1. Race was reported in 97% of patients; of these patients, 90% were White, 3% were Black, and 2% were Asian. The diagnosis was DLBCL not otherwise specified (NOS) in 88% (including 20% with DLBCL arising from low-grade lymphoma) and high-grade B-cell lymphoma in 8%. The median number of prior therapies was (range to 7), 63% with refractory disease, 17% with prior stem cell transplant, and 9% with prior chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy.Efficacy was established on the basis of overall response rate (ORR) as assessed by an Independent Review Committee (IRC) using Lugano 2014 criteria (Table 4).

CLINICAL TRIALS EXPERIENCE SECTION.


6.1Clinical Trials Experience. Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.The pooled safety population described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to ZYNLONTA as single agent at an initial dose of 0.15 mg/kg in 215 patients with DLBCL in studies ADCT-402-201 (LOTIS-2) and ADCT-402-101, which includes 145 patients from LOTIS-2 treated with 0.15 mg/kg 2 cycles followed by 0.075 mg/kg for subsequent cycles. Among 215 patients who received ZYNLONTA, the median number of cycles was (range to 15) with 58% receiving three or more cycles and 30% receiving five or more cycles.In this pooled safety population of 215 patients, the most common (>20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were thrombocytopenia, increased gamma-glutamyltransferase, neutropenia, anemia, hyperglycemia, transaminase elevation, fatigue, hypoalbuminemia, rash, edema, nausea, and musculoskeletal pain.. Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. LOTIS-2The safety of ZYNLONTA was evaluated in LOTIS-2, an open-label, single-arm clinical trial that enrolled 145 patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), including high grade B-cell lymphoma, after at least two prior systemic therapies [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. The trial required hepatic transaminases, including gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), <=2.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN), total bilirubin <=1.5 times ULN, and creatinine clearance >=60 mL/min. Patients received ZYNLONTA 0.15 mg/kg every weeks for cycles, then 0.075 mg/kg every weeks for subsequent cycles and received treatment until progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity. Among the 145 patients, the median number of cycles received was 3, with 34% receiving or more cycles.The median age was 66 years (range 23 to 94), 59% were male, and 94% had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of to 1. Race was reported in 97% of patients; of these patients, 90% were White, 3% were Black, and 2% were Asian.Serious adverse reactions occurred in 28% of patients receiving ZYNLONTA. The most common serious adverse reactions that occurred in >=2% receiving ZYNLONTA were febrile neutropenia, pneumonia, edema, pleural effusion, and sepsis. Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 1%, due to infection.Permanent treatment discontinuation due to an adverse reaction of ZYNLONTA occurred in 19% of patients. Adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation of ZYNLONTA in >=2% were gamma-glutamyltransferase increased, edema, and effusion.Dose reductions due to an adverse reaction of ZYNLONTA occurred in 8% of patients.

DESCRIPTION SECTION.


11DESCRIPTION. Loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl is CD19-directed antibody and alkylating agent conjugate, consisting of humanized IgG1 kappa monoclonal antibody conjugated to SG3199, pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) dimer cytotoxic alkylating agent, through protease-cleavable valine-alanine linker. SG3199 attached to the linker is designated as SG3249, also known as tesirine.Loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl has an approximate molecular weight of 151 kDa. An average of 2.3 molecules of SG3249 are attached to each antibody molecule. Loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl is produced by chemical conjugation of the antibody and small molecule components. The antibody is produced by mammalian (Chinese hamster ovary) cells, and the small molecule components are produced by chemical synthesis.ZYNLONTA (loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl) for injection is supplied as sterile, white to off-white, preservative-free, lyophilized powder, which has cake-like appearance, for intravenous infusion after reconstitution and dilution. Each single-dose vial delivers 10 mg of loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl, L-histidine (2.8 mg), L-histidine monohydrochloride (4.6 mg), polysorbate 20 (0.4 mg), and sucrose (119.8 mg). After reconstitution with 2.2 mL Sterile Water for Injection, USP, the final concentration is mg/mL with pH of approximately 6.0.. Chemical Structure.

FEMALES & MALES OF REPRODUCTIVE POTENTIAL SECTION.


8.3Females and Males of Reproductive Potential. ZYNLONTA can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].. Pregnancy TestingPregnancy testing is recommended for females of reproductive potential prior to initiating ZYNLONTA.. Contraception. FemalesAdvise women of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for months after the last dose.. MalesBecause of the potential for genotoxicity, advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during the treatment with ZYNLONTA and for months after the last dose [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].. Infertility. MalesBased on the results from animal studies, ZYNLONTA may impair fertility in males. The effects were not reversible in male cynomolgus monkeys during the 12-week drug-free period [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].

GERIATRIC USE SECTION.


8.5Geriatric Use. Of the 145 patients with large B-cell lymphoma who received ZYNLONTA in clinical trials, 55% were 65 years of age and older, while 14% were 75 years of age and older [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients.

HEPATIC IMPAIRMENT SUBSECTION.


8.6 Hepatic Impairment. No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin <= upper limit of normal [ULN] and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ULN or total bilirubin 1 to 1.5 ULN and any AST). Monitor patients with mild hepatic impairment for potential increased incidence of adverse reactions and modify the ZYNLONTA dosage in the event of adverse reactions [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].ZYNLONTA has not been studied in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin 1.5 ULN and any AST) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

PHARMACODYNAMICS SECTION.


12.2Pharmacodynamics. Higher loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl exposure in Cycle was associated with higher incidence of some Grade >=2 adverse reactions, including skin and nail reactions, liver function test abnormalities and increased gamma-glutamyltransferase. Lower loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl exposure in Cycle was associated with lower efficacy over the dose range of 0.015-0.2 mg/kg (0.1 to 1.33 times the maximum recommended dose).. Cardiac ElectrophysiologyAt the maximum recommended therapeutic dose of 0.15 mg/kg during Cycle and Cycle 2, loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl does not cause large mean increases (i.e., >20 msec) in the QTc interval.

IMMUNOGENICITY.


6.2Immunogenicity. As with all therapeutic proteins, there is potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies in the studies described below with the incidence of antibodies to loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl in other studies or to other products may be misleading.In LOTIS-2, of 134 patients tested positive for antibodies against loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl after treatment. The potential effect of anti-drug antibodies to ZYNLONTA on pharmacokinetics, efficacy, or safety is unknown.

LACTATION SECTION.


8.2Lactation. Risk SummaryThere is no data on the presence of loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl or SG3199 in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with ZYNLONTA and for months after the last dose.

MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION.


12.1Mechanism of Action. Loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting CD19. The monoclonal IgG1 kappa antibody component binds to human CD19, transmembrane protein expressed on the surface of cells of B-lineage origin. The small molecule component is SG3199, PBD dimer and alkylating agent.Upon binding to CD19, loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl is internalized followed by release of SG3199 via proteolytic cleavage. The released SG3199 binds to the DNA minor groove and forms highly cytotoxic DNA interstrand crosslinks, subsequently inducing cell death. Loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl had anticancer activity in animal models of lymphoma.

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION.


13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY. 13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl or SG3199.SG3199 was genotoxic in an in vitro micronucleus test and chromosome aberration assay using human lymphocytes through clastogenic mechanism. These results are consistent with the pharmacological effect of SG3199 as covalent DNA crosslinking agent. Results of bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test) were inconclusive due to cytotoxicity.Fertility studies have not been conducted with loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl. Results from repeat-dose toxicity studies with intravenous administration of loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl in cynomolgus monkeys indicate the potential for impaired male reproductive function and fertility. Administration of loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl to cynomolgus monkeys every weeks at 0.6 mg/kg for total of doses, or every weeks at 0.3 mg/kg for 13 weeks resulted in adverse findings that included decreased weight and/or size of the testes and epididymis, atrophy of the seminiferous tubules, germ cell degeneration, and/or reduced sperm content. The dose of 0.3 mg/kg in animals results in an exposure (AUC) that is approximately times the exposure at the maximum recommended human dose [MRHD] of 0.15 mg/kg. Findings were not reversible at the end of the 12-week recovery period following or 13 weeks of dosing.. 13.2Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology. Inflammatory-mediated toxicities associated with PBDs have been observed at low incidence in animals. In repeat-dose toxicity studies in cynomolgus monkeys, administration of loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl was associated with potential inflammatory mediated-toxicities, including in the lungs and kidneys. Renal toxicity including increased kidney weights and nephropathy with variable inflammation and fibrosis that was reversible was observed in monkeys. Black skin spots potentially related to phototoxicity were observed and were still present after the 12-week treatment-free period.

12.3Pharmacokinetics. The exposure of loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl at the approved recommended dosage in Cycle and at steady state is shown in Table 3. Loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl steady state Cmax was 28.2% lower than the Cmax after the first dose. The time to reach steady state was 210 days.Table 3: Loncastuximab Tesirine-lpyl Exposure ParametersData presented as mean and coefficient of variation (CV %) TimeCmax (ng/mL)AUCtau (ng day/mL)Cmax Maximum observed serum concentration; AUCtau Area under curve over the dosing intervalCycle 22,911 (35.3%)21,665 (54.1%)Steady state1,776 (32.1%)16,882 (38.2%). DistributionThe mean (CV%) of loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl volume of distribution was 7.11 (26.6%) L.. EliminationThe mean (CV%) of loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl clearance decreased with time from 0.499 L/day (89.3%) after single dose to 0.275 L/day (38.2%) at steady state. The mean (standard deviation) half-life of loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl was 20.8 (7.06) days at steady state.. MetabolismThe monoclonal antibody portion of loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl is expected to be metabolized into small peptides by catabolic pathways. The small molecule cytotoxin, SG3199, is metabolized by CYP3A4/5 in vitro.. ExcretionThe major excretion pathways of SG3199 have not been studied in humans. SG3199 is expected to be minimally renally excreted.. Specific PopulationsNo clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl were observed based on age (20-94 years), sex, race (White vs. Black), body weight (42.1 to 160.5 kg), ECOG status (0 to 2) or mild to moderate renal impairment (CLcr 30 to <90 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault equation).The effect of severe renal impairment (CLcr 15 to 29 mL/min), and end-stage renal disease with or without hemodialysis on loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl pharmacokinetics is unknown.. Patients with Hepatic ImpairmentMild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin <= ULN and AST ULN, or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 ULN and any AST) may increase the exposure of unconjugated SG3199, however there was no clinically significant effect on loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl pharmacokinetics. The effect of moderate (total bilirubin >1.5 to <=3 ULN and any AST) or severe (total bilirubin >3 ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment on loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl pharmacokinetics is unknown.. Drug Interaction Studies. In Vitro Studies. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Enzymes: SG3199 does not inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, or CYP3A4/5 at clinically relevant unconjugated SG3199 concentrations.. Transporter Systems: SG3199 is substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), but not substrate of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP)1B1, or organic cation transporter (OCT)1.SG3199 does not inhibit P-gp, BCRP, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, organic anion transporter (OAT)1, OAT3, OCT2, OCT1, multi-antimicrobial extrusion protein (MATE)1, MATE2-K, or bile salt export pump (BSEP) at clinically relevant unconjugated SG3199 concentrations.

POSTMARKETING EXPERIENCE SECTION.


6.2Postmarketing Experience. The following adverse reactions have been identified during post approval use of ZYNLONTA. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish causal relationship to drug exposure.Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: telangiectasia, blister, rash vesicular.
