1. What Lunsumio is and what it is used for

Lunsumio contains the active substance mosunetuzumab, which is a type of antibody. Lunsumio is an anticancer medicine used to treat adults with a blood cancer called follicular lymphoma (FL).
In FL, a type of white blood cells called “B cells” becomes cancerous. The abnormal B cells do not function properly and grow too quickly, replacing the normal B cells in the bone marrow and lymph nodes, which help protect the body from infections.
Lunsumio is given to patients who have already received at least two prior treatments for FL, when the cancer has not responded to treatment or has returned.
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 substance present on B cells, including cancerous B cells, and to another target found on “T cells”, another type of white blood cells. T cells are another component of the body’s defenses that can destroy cancer cells. By linking the two types of cells together to form a kind of bridge, Lunsumio encourages the T cells to destroy the cancerous B cells, helping to control FL and prevent its spread.

2. What you should know before using Lunsumio

Lunsumio must not be administered to you if:

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

If you have any doubts, speak with your doctor or nurse before receiving Lunsumio.
Warnings and precautions
If any of the following situations apply to you (or if you have any doubts), please consult your doctor or
nurse before receiving Lunsumio:

  • if you have previously had heart, lung, or kidney problems;
  • if you currently have an infection or have had a past infection that has been long-lasting or has recurred multiple times;
  • if you are due to receive a vaccination or know you might need one soon.

If any of the above situations apply to you (or if you have any doubts), speak to your doctor or
nurse before receiving this medicine.
Immediately inform your doctor if you experience any symptoms during or after treatment with Lunsumio
that are associated with any of the adverse reactions listed below. Additional medical treatment may be
required. The symptoms of each adverse reaction are listed in section 4.

  • Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) – a condition associated with medicines that stimulate T-cells.
    • Before each infusion, you may be given medicines to help reduce the potential adverse reactions related to cytokine release syndrome.
  • Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) – a condition associated with effects on the nervous system. Symptoms include confusion, memory, speech or judgment problems, disorientation, and confusion often accompanied by hallucinations (seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not real), and difficulty concentrating.
  • Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) – a condition in which the immune system produces too many infection-fighting cells called histiocytes and lymphocytes. Signs and symptoms may overlap with CRS; your doctor will check for this condition if CRS does not respond to treatment or lasts longer than expected.
  • Tumour lysis syndrome – some people may develop abnormalities in blood levels of certain minerals due to rapid destruction of tumour cells during treatment.
    • Your doctor or nurse will perform blood tests to rule out this condition. You must be well hydrated before each infusion, and you may be given medicines to help reduce elevated uric acid levels. This may help reduce the potential adverse reactions associated with tumour lysis syndrome.
  • Tumour flare reaction – when the tumour is destroyed, it may react and show apparent worsening. This condition is known as a “tumour flare” reaction.
  • Infections – you may develop signs of infection, which can vary depending on where in the body the infection occurs.

Children and adolescents
This medicine must not be used in children or adolescents under 18 years of age, as there is no information
available on its use in this age group.
Other medicines and Lunsumio
Inform your doctor if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines, including those
not requiring a prescription and herbal medicines.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Before and during treatment, it is important that you inform your doctor if you are pregnant, suspect you
might be pregnant, or are planning a pregnancy. Lunsumio may affect the health of the unborn child.

  • Do not use Lunsumio during pregnancy unless, after discussion with your doctor, it has been determined that the benefits of treatment outweigh any risk to the unborn child.

Contraception
Women of childbearing potential must use effective contraceptive methods during treatment and for
3 months after receiving the last dose of Lunsumio.

  • Discuss with your doctor or nurse which contraceptive methods are most suitable for you.

Breastfeeding
Do not breastfeed during treatment with Lunsumio and for at least 3 months after receiving the last dose,
as it is unknown whether Lunsumio passes into breast milk and could therefore affect the infant.
Driving and using machines
Lunsumio may impair your ability to drive vehicles, ride a bicycle, or operate tools or machinery. Due to
the potential symptoms of ICANS, you should be cautious when driving, riding a bicycle, or using heavy or
potentially dangerous machinery. If you currently experience such symptoms, avoid these activities and
contact your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist. See section 4 for more information about adverse reactions.
Lunsumio contains polysorbate
This medicine contains the following amount of polysorbate 20 equivalent to 0.6 mg/mL:

  • Lunsumio 1 mg: each vial contains 0.6 mg of polysorbate 20
  • Lunsumio 30 mg: each vial contains 18 mg of polysorbate 20

Polysorbate 20 may cause allergic reactions. Inform your doctor if you have known allergies.

3. How Lunsumio is administered

Lunsumio is administered under the supervision of a physician experienced in the administration of this type of treatment. Follow the treatment schedule provided by your doctor. If you have any doubts, consult your doctor.
How Lunsumio is administered
The medicine is administered intravenously by infusion (intravenous infusion):

  • over 4 hours during the first cycle. Each cycle lasts 21 days, and during the first cycle, the 4-hour infusion will be administered on day 1, day 8, and day 15;
  • if side effects are not too severe, the dose may be administered over 2 hours during subsequent cycles.

Medicines administered before treatment with Lunsumio
Within 30–60 minutes before receiving Lunsumio, you may be given medicines to help prevent infusion reactions and fever. These may include:

  • corticosteroids, such as dexamethasone or methylprednisolone
  • paracetamol
  • an antihistamine, such as diphenhydramine.

Dosage of Lunsumio
Lunsumio is usually administered in 21-day cycles. The recommended duration of treatment is at least 8 cycles. However, depending on side effects and how the disease responds to treatment, you may receive up to a maximum of 17 treatment cycles.
In cycle 1, you will receive three doses of Lunsumio over the 21 days:

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

In cycle 2, you will receive only one dose:

  • Day 1: 60 mg

From cycle 3 to cycle 17, you will receive only one dose:

  • Day 1: 30 mg

If you miss a dose of Lunsumio
If you miss an appointment for administration of the medicine, schedule another one as soon as possible. To ensure this treatment is fully effective, it is extremely important not to miss any dose.
If you stop treatment with Lunsumio
Do not stop treatment with Lunsumio without first discussing it with your doctor. Stopping treatment may worsen your condition.
If you have any questions about the use of this medicine, consult your doctor or nurse.

1. What Lunsumio is and what it is used for

Lunsumio contains the active substance mosunetuzumab, which is a type of antibody. Lunsumio is an anticancer medicine used to treat adults with a blood cancer called follicular lymphoma (FL).
In FL, a type of white blood cells called “B-cells” becomes cancerous. The abnormal B-cells do not function properly and grow too quickly, replacing normal B-cells in the bone marrow and lymph nodes, which help protect the body from infections.
Lunsumio is given to patients who have already received at least two prior treatments for FL, when the cancer has not responded to treatment or has returned.
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 substance found on B-cells, including cancerous B-cells, and to another target present on “T-cells”, another type of white blood cells. T-cells are another component of the body's defenses that can destroy cancer cells. By linking the two cell types together to form a bridge, Lunsumio encourages T-cells to destroy the cancerous B-cells, helping to control FL and prevent its spread.

2. What you should know before using Lunsumio

Do not receive Lunsumio

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

If you have any doubts, speak with your doctor or nurse before receiving Lunsumio.
Warnings and precautions
If any of the following situations apply to you (or if you have any doubts), please consult your doctor or
nurse before receiving Lunsumio:

  • if you have previously had heart, lung, or kidney problems;
  • if you currently have an infection or have had a past infection that was long-term or recurred multiple times;
  • if you are due to receive a vaccination or know you may need one soon.

If any of the above situations apply to you (or if you have any doubts), consult your doctor or
nurse before receiving this medicine.
Inform your doctor immediately if you experience any symptoms during or after treatment with Lunsumio
that are associated with any of the adverse reactions listed below. Additional medical treatment may be
required. Symptoms for each adverse reaction are listed in section 4.

  • Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) – a condition associated with medicines that stimulate T-cells.
    • Before each infusion, you may be given medicines to help reduce the potential adverse reactions associated with Cytokine Release Syndrome.
  • Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) – a condition affecting the nervous system. Symptoms include confusion, memory, language or judgment problems, disorientation and confusion often accompanied by hallucinations (seeing, hearing or feeling things that do not exist), and difficulty concentrating.
  • Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis – a condition in which the immune system produces excessive numbers of infection-fighting cells called histiocytes and lymphocytes. Signs and symptoms may overlap with CRS; your doctor will check for this condition if CRS does not respond to treatment or lasts longer than expected.
  • Tumour lysis syndrome – some people may develop abnormalities in levels of certain minerals in the blood, caused by the rapid destruction of tumour cells during treatment.
    • Your doctor or nurse will perform blood tests to rule out this condition. You must be well hydrated before each infusion, and you may be given medicines to help reduce elevated uric acid levels. This may help reduce potential adverse reactions associated with tumour lysis syndrome.
  • Tumour flare reaction – when the tumour is destroyed, it may react and show apparent worsening. This condition is known as a "tumour flare" reaction.
  • Infections – you may develop signs of infection, which can vary depending on where in the body the infection occurs.

Children and adolescents
This medicine must not be used in children or adolescents under 18 years of age, as there is no information available on its use in this age group.
Other medicines and Lunsumio
Inform your doctor if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines, including those not requiring a prescription and herbal medicines.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Before and during treatment, it is important that you inform your doctor if you are pregnant, suspect you may be pregnant, or are planning a pregnancy. Lunsumio may affect the unborn child's health.

  • Do not use Lunsumio during pregnancy unless, after discussion with your doctor, it has been determined that the benefits of treatment outweigh any risk to the unborn child.

Contraception
Women of childbearing potential must use effective contraceptive methods during treatment and for
3 months after the last dose of Lunsumio.

  • Discuss with your doctor or nurse which contraceptive methods are most suitable.

Breastfeeding
Do not breastfeed during treatment with Lunsumio and for at least 3 months after the last dose, as it is unknown whether Lunsumio passes into breast milk and could therefore affect the infant.
Driving and using machines
Lunsumio may impair your ability to drive vehicles, ride a bicycle, or operate tools or machinery. Due to the potential symptoms of ICANS, you must be cautious when driving, riding a bicycle, or operating heavy or potentially dangerous 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 reactions.
Lunsumio contains polysorbate
