11 Description
Linvoseltamab-gcpt, a bispecific B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed CD3 T-cell engager, is a recombinant human immunoglobulin (Ig)G4 antibody. Linvoseltamab-gcpt is produced by recombinant DNA technology in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell suspension culture. The molecular weight of linvoseltamab-gcpt is approximately 146 kDa.
LYNOZYFIC (linvoseltamab-gcpt) injection for intravenous use is a sterile, preservative-free, clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to pale yellow solution with a pH 6.0.
Each LYNOZYFIC 5 mg/2.5 mL vial contains 5 mg of linvoseltamab-gcpt. Each mL contains 2 mg of linvoseltamab-gcpt, histidine (0.7 mg), L-histidine hydrochloride monohydrate (1.1 mg), polysorbate 80 (1 mg), sucrose (100 mg), and Water for Injection, USP.
Each LYNOZYFIC 200 mg/10 mL vial contains 200 mg of linvoseltamab-gcpt. Each mL contains 20 mg of linvoseltamab-gcpt, histidine (0.7 mg), L-histidine hydrochloride monohydrate (1.1 mg), polysorbate 80 (1 mg), sucrose (100 mg), and Water for Injection, USP.
5.4 Infections
LYNOZYFIC can cause serious, life-threatening, or fatal infections.
In patients who received LYNOZYFIC at the recommended dose in LINKER-MM1, serious infections, including opportunistic infections, occurred in 42% of patients, with Grade 3 or 4 infections in 38% and fatal infections in 4% [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. The most common serious infection reported (≥10%) were pneumonia and sepsis. Two cases of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) occurred in patients receiving LYNOZYFIC.
Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection and immunoglobulin levels prior to and during treatment with LYNOZYFIC and treat appropriately. Administer prophylactic antimicrobials, antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals, vaccines, and subcutaneous or intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) according to guidelines, including prophylaxis for PJP and herpesviruses [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].
Withhold LYNOZYFIC or consider permanent discontinuation of LYNOZYFIC based on severity of the infection [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].
5.5 Neutropenia
LYNOZYFIC can cause neutropenia and febrile neutropenia.
In patients who received LYNOZYFIC at the recommended dose in LINKER-MM1, decreased neutrophil count occurred in 62% of patients with Grade 3 or 4 decreased neutrophil count in 47%. Febrile neutropenia occurred in 8% of patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
Monitor complete blood cell counts at baseline and periodically during treatment and provide supportive care per local guidelines. Monitor patients with neutropenia for signs of infection. Withhold LYNOZYFIC based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].
8.4 Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of LYNOZYFIC have not been established in pediatric patients.
8.5 Geriatric Use
Of the 117 patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who received LYNOZYFIC, 42 (36%) of patients were 65 to 74 years of age and 31 (26%) were 75 years of age and older [see Clinical Studies (14)]. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed in patients 65 years of age and older, including patients 75 years of age and older, when compared with younger patients.
5.3 Lynozyfic Rems
LYNOZYFIC is available only through a restricted program under a REMS called the LYNOZYFIC REMS because of the risks of CRS and neurologic toxicity, including ICANS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1, 5.2)].
Notable requirements of the LYNOZYFIC REMS include the following:
- Prescribers must be certified with the program by enrolling and completing training.
- Prescribers must counsel patients receiving LYNOZYFIC about the risk of CRS and neurologic toxicity, including ICANS, and provide patients with LYNOZYFIC Patient Wallet Card.
- Pharmacies and healthcare settings that dispense LYNOZYFIC must be certified with the LYNOZYFIC REMS program and must verify prescribers are certified through the LYNOZYFIC REMS program.
- Wholesalers and distributors must only distribute LYNOZYFIC to certified pharmacies or healthcare settings.
Further information about the LYNOZYFIC REMS program is available at lynozyficREMS.com or by telephone at 1-855-212-6391.
5.6 Hepatotoxicity
LYNOZYFIC can cause hepatotoxicity.
In LINKER-MM1, elevated ALT occurred in 46% of patients, with Grade 3 or 4 ALT elevation occurring in 6%; elevated AST occurred in 61% of patients, with Grade 3 or 4 AST elevation occurring in 10% of patients who received the recommended dose. Grade 3 or 4 total bilirubin elevations occurred in 1.7% of patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Liver enzyme elevation can occur with or without concurrent CRS.
Monitor liver enzymes and bilirubin at baseline and during treatment as clinically indicated. Withhold LYNOZYFIC or consider permanent discontinuation of LYNOZYFIC based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].
12.6 Immunogenicity
The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in the study described below with the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in other studies, including those of linvoseltamab-gcpt.
During treatment in LINKER-MM1 (evaluated through 30 months) [see Clinical Studies (14)], 1% (2/192) of LYNOZYFIC-treated patients developed anti-linvoseltamab-gcpt antibodies. Because of the low occurrence of anti-drug antibodies, the effect of these antibodies on the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, and/or effectiveness of linvoseltamab products is unknown.
4 Contraindications
None.
6 Adverse Reactions
The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:
- Cytokine Release Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]
- Neurologic Toxicity, including Immune Effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]
- Infections [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]
- Neutropenia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]
- Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6)]
12.2 Pharmacodynamics
The 200 mg once weekly dosing regimen was associated with better objective response rate and complete response rate when compared to the 50 mg once weekly (0.25 times the recommended dosage) dosing regimen in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
Linvoseltamab-gcpt exposure-response relationships have not been fully characterized.
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were evaluated at the recommended dosage in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma and are presented as geometric mean (CV%) unless otherwise specified.
Linvoseltamab-gcpt PK exposures following use of the recommended dosing schedule are presented in Table 9. Linvoseltamab-gcpt Ctrough increased more than proportionally over a dose range of 96 mg to 800 mg (0.48 to 4 times the recommended full dose). Linvoseltamab-gcpt maximum concentration (127 mg/L [51%]) is achieved after the first dose of the every-2-weeks dosing regimen (i.e., the 12th dose of 200 mg).
| Dosing Period | Cmax (mg/L) | Ctrough (mg/L) | Cavg (mg /L) |
|---|---|---|---|
| First 200 mg weekly dose | 52.7 (37.2) | 15.5 (64.8) | 27.4 (34.2) |

1 Indications and Usage
LYNOZYFIC is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least four prior lines of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody.
This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on response rate and durability of response [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trial(s).
12.1 Mechanism of Action
Linvoseltamab-gcpt is a bispecific T-cell engaging antibody that binds to the CD3 receptor expressed on the surface of T-cells and B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) expressed on the surface of multiple myeloma cells and some healthy B-lineage cells.
In vitro, linvoseltamab-gcpt activated T-cells, caused the release of various proinflammatory cytokines, and resulted in the lysis of multiple myeloma cells. Linvoseltamab-gcpt had anti-tumor activity in mouse models of multiple myeloma.
5.7 Embryo Fetal Toxicity
Based on its mechanism of action, LYNOZYFIC may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with LYNOZYFIC and for 3 months after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].

6.1 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.
17 Patient Counseling Information
Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Medication Guide).
2.5 Management of Adverse Reactions
Table 3 describes the management of CRS. Table 4 describes the management of ICANS. Table 5 describes the management of other adverse reactions.
5.1 Cytokine Release Syndrome (crs)
LYNOZYFIC can cause cytokine release syndrome (CRS), which can be serious or life-threatening.
In LINKER-MM1, CRS occurred in 46% (54/117) of patients who received LYNOZYFIC at the recommended dose, with Grade 1 CRS occurring in 35% (41/117) of patients, Grade 2 in 10% (12/117), and Grade 3 in 0.9% (1/117) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Thirty-eight percent (45/117) of patients had CRS following step-up dose 1, including 1 patient who experienced Grade 3 CRS; 8% (9/117) had an initial CRS event following a subsequent dose. Seventeen percent (19/113) of patients developed CRS after step-up dose 2, 10% (11/111) developed CRS after the first full 200 mg dose of LYNOZYFIC, and 3.6% (4/110) developed CRS after the second full dose. Recurrent CRS occurred in 20% (23/117) of patients. The median time to onset of CRS from the end of infusion was 11 (range: -1 to 184) hours after the most recent dose with a median duration of 15 (range: 1 to 76) hours.
Clinical signs and symptoms of CRS included, but were not limited to pyrexia, chills, hypoxia, tachycardia, and hypotension.
Administer pretreatment medications and initiate therapy according to LYNOZYFIC step-up dosing to reduce the incidence and severity of CRS [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) and Dosage and Administration (2.3)].
Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of CRS after infusion. Counsel patients to seek immediate medical attention should signs or symptoms of CRS occur.
At the first sign of CRS, immediately evaluate patients for hospitalization, manage per current practice guidelines, and administer supportive care; withhold LYNOZYFIC until CRS resolves and modify the next dose or permanently discontinue LYNOZYFIC based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].

14.1 Relapsed Or Refractory Multiple Myeloma
The efficacy of LYNOZYFIC was evaluated in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma in an open-label, multi-center, multi-cohort study: LINKER-MM1 (NCT03761108). The study included patients who had previously received at least 3 prior therapies, including a proteasome inhibitor (PI), an immunomodulatory agent (IMiD), and an anti-CD38 antibody. The study included patients with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 0 or 1 and adequate baseline hematologic (absolute neutrophil count > 1 × 109/L, platelet count > 50 × 109/L, hemoglobin level >8 g/dL), renal (CrCL > 30 mL/min), and hepatic (AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 × ULN, total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN, alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 × ULN) function.
The study excluded patients with known multiple myeloma brain lesions or meningeal involvement, history of a neurodegenerative condition, history of seizure within 12 months prior to study enrollment, active infection, a history of an allogeneic or autologous stem cell transplantation within 12 weeks, prior BCMA-directed bispecific antibody therapy, prior bispecific T-cell engaging therapy, or prior BCMA CAR-T cell therapy.
Patients received a step-up dose of 5 mg on Day 1, 25 mg on Day 8, and the first treatment dose of 200 mg on Day 15 of LYNOZYFIC by intravenous infusion. Then, patients received 200 mg of LYNOZYFIC weekly from Week 4 to Week 13, followed by 200 mg every other week thereafter. After at least 24 weeks, the Phase 2 patients who achieved a very good partial response (VGPR) or greater received 200 mg of LYNOZYFIC every 4 weeks. Patients were treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
The efficacy population included 80 patients who had received at least four prior lines of therapy. The median age was 71 (range: 37 to 83) years with 30% of patients 75 years or older; 64% were male and 36% were female; 69% were White, 14% were Black or African American, 13% were Asian, and 2.5% were Hispanic/Latino.
The International Staging System (ISS) at study entry was Stage I in 39%, Stage II in 36%, and Stage III in 19%. High-risk cytogenetics (presence of del(17p), t(4;14) and t(14;16)) were present in 40% of patients. Eighteen percent of patients had extramedullary disease at baseline.
The median number of prior lines of therapy was 5 (range: 4 to 13); 83% of patients were refractory to the last line of therapy. Sixty-five percent of patients received prior stem cell transplantation. Seventy-nine percent of patients were triple-class refractory (refractory to a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody). Thirteen percent of patients were previously treated with a BCMA antibody-drug conjugate.
Efficacy was established based on objective response rate (ORR) as determined by blinded independent review committee (IRC), as measured using the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria (see Table 10). The median time to first response was 0.95 months (range: 0.5 to 6 months). With a median follow-up of 11.3 months among responders, the estimated duration of response (DOR) rate was 89% (95% CI: 77, 95) at 9 months and 72% (95% CI: 54, 84) at 12 months.

5.2 Neurologic Toxicity, Including Immune Effector Cell Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome
LYNOZYFIC can cause serious or life-threatening neurologic toxicity, including immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
In LINKER-MM1, neurologic toxicity occurred in 54% of patients, with Grade 3 or 4 neurologic toxicity occurring in 8%, at the recommended dose [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Neurologic toxicities included ICANS, depressed level of consciousness, encephalopathy, and toxic encephalopathy.
ICANS occurred in 8% of patients who received LYNOZYFIC with the recommended dosing regimen, including Grade 3 events in 2.6%. Most patients experienced ICANS following step-up dose 1 (5%). Two patients (1.8%) experienced initial ICANS following step-up dose 2 and one patient developed the first occurrence of ICANS following a subsequent full dose of LYNOZYFIC. Recurrent ICANS occurred in one patient. The median time to onset of ICANS was 1 (range: 1 to 4) day after the most recent dose with a median duration of 2 (range: 1 to 11) days. The onset of ICANS can be concurrent with CRS, following resolution of CRS, or in the absence of CRS.
The most common clinical signs and symptoms of ICANS are confusion, depressed level of consciousness, and lethargy. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of neurologic toxicity during treatment. At the first sign of neurologic toxicity, including ICANS, immediately evaluate the patient; provide supportive therapy and consider further management per current practice guidelines. Withhold LYNOZYFIC until ICANS resolves and modify the next dose or permanently discontinue LYNOZYFIC based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)]. Counsel patients to seek immediate medical attention should signs or symptoms of neurologic toxicity occur at any time.
Due to the potential for neurologic toxicity, including ICANS, patients receiving LYNOZYFIC are at risk of confusion and depressed consciousness. Advise patients to refrain from driving, or operating heavy or potentially dangerous machinery, for 48 hours after completion of each of the step-up doses [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)] and in the event of new onset of any neurological symptoms, until symptoms resolve.
LYNOZYFIC is available only through a restricted program under a REMS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].
Warning: Cytokine Release Syndrome and Neurologic Toxicity, Including Immune Effector Cell Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome
- Cytokine release syndrome (CRS), including serious or life-threatening reactions, can occur in patients receiving LYNOZYFIC. Initiate treatment with LYNOZYFIC step-up dosing to reduce the risk of CRS. Manage CRS, withhold LYNOZYFIC until CRS resolves, and modify the next dose or permanently discontinue based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.2, 2.4, 2.5) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
- Neurologic toxicity, including immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), including serious or life-threatening reactions, can occur in patients receiving LYNOZYFIC. Monitor patients for signs or symptoms of neurologic toxicity, including ICANS during treatment. Manage neurologic toxicity, including ICANS, withhold LYNOZYFIC until neurologic toxicity, including ICANS resolves, and modify the next dose or permanently discontinue based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.2, 2.4, 2.5) and Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].
- Because of the risk of CRS and neurologic toxicity, including ICANS, LYNOZYFIC is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) called the LYNOZYFIC REMS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].

11 Description (11 DESCRIPTION)
Linvoseltamab-gcpt, a bispecific B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed CD3 T-cell engager, is a recombinant human immunoglobulin (Ig)G4 antibody. Linvoseltamab-gcpt is produced by recombinant DNA technology in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell suspension culture. The molecular weight of linvoseltamab-gcpt is approximately 146 kDa.
LYNOZYFIC (linvoseltamab-gcpt) injection for intravenous use is a sterile, preservative-free, clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to pale yellow solution with a pH 6.0.
Each LYNOZYFIC 5 mg/2.5 mL vial contains 5 mg of linvoseltamab-gcpt. Each mL contains 2 mg of linvoseltamab-gcpt, histidine (0.7 mg), L-histidine hydrochloride monohydrate (1.1 mg), polysorbate 80 (1 mg), sucrose (100 mg), and Water for Injection, USP.
Each LYNOZYFIC 200 mg/10 mL vial contains 200 mg of linvoseltamab-gcpt. Each mL contains 20 mg of linvoseltamab-gcpt, histidine (0.7 mg), L-histidine hydrochloride monohydrate (1.1 mg), polysorbate 80 (1 mg), sucrose (100 mg), and Water for Injection, USP.
5.4 Infections
LYNOZYFIC can cause serious, life-threatening, or fatal infections.
In patients who received LYNOZYFIC at the recommended dose in LINKER-MM1, serious infections, including opportunistic infections, occurred in 42% of patients, with Grade 3 or 4 infections in 38% and fatal infections in 4% [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. The most common serious infection reported (≥10%) were pneumonia and sepsis. Two cases of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) occurred in patients receiving LYNOZYFIC.
Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection and immunoglobulin levels prior to and during treatment with LYNOZYFIC and treat appropriately. Administer prophylactic antimicrobials, antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals, vaccines, and subcutaneous or intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) according to guidelines, including prophylaxis for PJP and herpesviruses [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].
Withhold LYNOZYFIC or consider permanent discontinuation of LYNOZYFIC based on severity of the infection [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].
5.5 Neutropenia
LYNOZYFIC can cause neutropenia and febrile neutropenia.
In patients who received LYNOZYFIC at the recommended dose in LINKER-MM1, decreased neutrophil count occurred in 62% of patients with Grade 3 or 4 decreased neutrophil count in 47%. Febrile neutropenia occurred in 8% of patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
Monitor complete blood cell counts at baseline and periodically during treatment and provide supportive care per local guidelines. Monitor patients with neutropenia for signs of infection. Withhold LYNOZYFIC based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].
8.4 Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of LYNOZYFIC have not been established in pediatric patients.
8.5 Geriatric Use
Of the 117 patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who received LYNOZYFIC, 42 (36%) of patients were 65 to 74 years of age and 31 (26%) were 75 years of age and older [see Clinical Studies (14)]. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed in patients 65 years of age and older, including patients 75 years of age and older, when compared with younger patients.
5.3 Lynozyfic Rems (5.3 LYNOZYFIC REMS)
LYNOZYFIC is available only through a restricted program under a REMS called the LYNOZYFIC REMS because of the risks of CRS and neurologic toxicity, including ICANS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1, 5.2)].
Notable requirements of the LYNOZYFIC REMS include the following:
- Prescribers must be certified with the program by enrolling and completing training.
- Prescribers must counsel patients receiving LYNOZYFIC about the risk of CRS and neurologic toxicity, including ICANS, and provide patients with LYNOZYFIC Patient Wallet Card.
- Pharmacies and healthcare settings that dispense LYNOZYFIC must be certified with the LYNOZYFIC REMS program and must verify prescribers are certified through the LYNOZYFIC REMS program.
- Wholesalers and distributors must only distribute LYNOZYFIC to certified pharmacies or healthcare settings.
Further information about the LYNOZYFIC REMS program is available at lynozyficREMS.com or by telephone at 1-855-212-6391.
5.6 Hepatotoxicity
LYNOZYFIC can cause hepatotoxicity.
In LINKER-MM1, elevated ALT occurred in 46% of patients, with Grade 3 or 4 ALT elevation occurring in 6%; elevated AST occurred in 61% of patients, with Grade 3 or 4 AST elevation occurring in 10% of patients who received the recommended dose. Grade 3 or 4 total bilirubin elevations occurred in 1.7% of patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Liver enzyme elevation can occur with or without concurrent CRS.
Monitor liver enzymes and bilirubin at baseline and during treatment as clinically indicated. Withhold LYNOZYFIC or consider permanent discontinuation of LYNOZYFIC based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].
12.6 Immunogenicity
The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in the study described below with the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in other studies, including those of linvoseltamab-gcpt.
During treatment in LINKER-MM1 (evaluated through 30 months) [see Clinical Studies (14)], 1% (2/192) of LYNOZYFIC-treated patients developed anti-linvoseltamab-gcpt antibodies. Because of the low occurrence of anti-drug antibodies, the effect of these antibodies on the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, and/or effectiveness of linvoseltamab products is unknown.
4 Contraindications (4 CONTRAINDICATIONS)
None.
6 Adverse Reactions (6 ADVERSE REACTIONS)
The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:
- Cytokine Release Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]
- Neurologic Toxicity, including Immune Effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]
- Infections [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]
- Neutropenia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]
- Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6)]
12.2 Pharmacodynamics
The 200 mg once weekly dosing regimen was associated with better objective response rate and complete response rate when compared to the 50 mg once weekly (0.25 times the recommended dosage) dosing regimen in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
Linvoseltamab-gcpt exposure-response relationships have not been fully characterized.
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were evaluated at the recommended dosage in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma and are presented as geometric mean (CV%) unless otherwise specified.
Linvoseltamab-gcpt PK exposures following use of the recommended dosing schedule are presented in Table 9. Linvoseltamab-gcpt Ctrough increased more than proportionally over a dose range of 96 mg to 800 mg (0.48 to 4 times the recommended full dose). Linvoseltamab-gcpt maximum concentration (127 mg/L [51%]) is achieved after the first dose of the every-2-weeks dosing regimen (i.e., the 12th dose of 200 mg).
| Dosing Period | Cmax (mg/L) | Ctrough (mg/L) | Cavg (mg /L) |
|---|---|---|---|
| First 200 mg weekly dose | 52.7 (37.2) | 15.5 (64.8) | 27.4 (34.2) |

1 Indications and Usage (1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE)
LYNOZYFIC is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least four prior lines of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody.
This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on response rate and durability of response [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trial(s).
12.1 Mechanism of Action
Linvoseltamab-gcpt is a bispecific T-cell engaging antibody that binds to the CD3 receptor expressed on the surface of T-cells and B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) expressed on the surface of multiple myeloma cells and some healthy B-lineage cells.
In vitro, linvoseltamab-gcpt activated T-cells, caused the release of various proinflammatory cytokines, and resulted in the lysis of multiple myeloma cells. Linvoseltamab-gcpt had anti-tumor activity in mouse models of multiple myeloma.
5.7 Embryo Fetal Toxicity (5.7 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity)
Based on its mechanism of action, LYNOZYFIC may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with LYNOZYFIC and for 3 months after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].
5 Warnings and Precautions (5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS)
- Infections: Can cause serious or fatal infections. Monitor patients for signs or symptoms of infection and treat accordingly. (5.4)
- Neutropenia: Monitor complete blood cell counts at baseline and periodically during treatment. (5.5)
- Hepatotoxicity: Can cause hepatotoxicity. Monitor liver enzymes and bilirubin at baseline and during treatment as clinically indicated. (5.6)

2.5 Management of Adverse Reactions
Table 3 describes the management of CRS. Table 4 describes the management of ICANS. Table 5 describes the management of other adverse reactions.
5.1 Cytokine Release Syndrome (crs) (5.1 Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS))
LYNOZYFIC can cause cytokine release syndrome (CRS), which can be serious or life-threatening.
In LINKER-MM1, CRS occurred in 46% (54/117) of patients who received LYNOZYFIC at the recommended dose, with Grade 1 CRS occurring in 35% (41/117) of patients, Grade 2 in 10% (12/117), and Grade 3 in 0.9% (1/117) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Thirty-eight percent (45/117) of patients had CRS following step-up dose 1, including 1 patient who experienced Grade 3 CRS; 8% (9/117) had an initial CRS event following a subsequent dose. Seventeen percent (19/113) of patients developed CRS after step-up dose 2, 10% (11/111) developed CRS after the first full 200 mg dose of LYNOZYFIC, and 3.6% (4/110) developed CRS after the second full dose. Recurrent CRS occurred in 20% (23/117) of patients. The median time to onset of CRS from the end of infusion was 11 (range: -1 to 184) hours after the most recent dose with a median duration of 15 (range: 1 to 76) hours.
Clinical signs and symptoms of CRS included, but were not limited to pyrexia, chills, hypoxia, tachycardia, and hypotension.
Administer pretreatment medications and initiate therapy according to LYNOZYFIC step-up dosing to reduce the incidence and severity of CRS [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) and Dosage and Administration (2.3)].
Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of CRS after infusion. Counsel patients to seek immediate medical attention should signs or symptoms of CRS occur.
At the first sign of CRS, immediately evaluate patients for hospitalization, manage per current practice guidelines, and administer supportive care; withhold LYNOZYFIC until CRS resolves and modify the next dose or permanently discontinue LYNOZYFIC based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].

14.1 Relapsed Or Refractory Multiple Myeloma (14.1 Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma)
The efficacy of LYNOZYFIC was evaluated in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma in an open-label, multi-center, multi-cohort study: LINKER-MM1 (NCT03761108). The study included patients who had previously received at least 3 prior therapies, including a proteasome inhibitor (PI), an immunomodulatory agent (IMiD), and an anti-CD38 antibody. The study included patients with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 0 or 1 and adequate baseline hematologic (absolute neutrophil count > 1 × 109/L, platelet count > 50 × 109/L, hemoglobin level >8 g/dL), renal (CrCL > 30 mL/min), and hepatic (AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 × ULN, total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN, alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 × ULN) function.
The study excluded patients with known multiple myeloma brain lesions or meningeal involvement, history of a neurodegenerative condition, history of seizure within 12 months prior to study enrollment, active infection, a history of an allogeneic or autologous stem cell transplantation within 12 weeks, prior BCMA-directed bispecific antibody therapy, prior bispecific T-cell engaging therapy, or prior BCMA CAR-T cell therapy.
Patients received a step-up dose of 5 mg on Day 1, 25 mg on Day 8, and the first treatment dose of 200 mg on Day 15 of LYNOZYFIC by intravenous infusion. Then, patients received 200 mg of LYNOZYFIC weekly from Week 4 to Week 13, followed by 200 mg every other week thereafter. After at least 24 weeks, the Phase 2 patients who achieved a very good partial response (VGPR) or greater received 200 mg of LYNOZYFIC every 4 weeks. Patients were treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
The efficacy population included 80 patients who had received at least four prior lines of therapy. The median age was 71 (range: 37 to 83) years with 30% of patients 75 years or older; 64% were male and 36% were female; 69% were White, 14% were Black or African American, 13% were Asian, and 2.5% were Hispanic/Latino.
The International Staging System (ISS) at study entry was Stage I in 39%, Stage II in 36%, and Stage III in 19%. High-risk cytogenetics (presence of del(17p), t(4;14) and t(14;16)) were present in 40% of patients. Eighteen percent of patients had extramedullary disease at baseline.
The median number of prior lines of therapy was 5 (range: 4 to 13); 83% of patients were refractory to the last line of therapy. Sixty-five percent of patients received prior stem cell transplantation. Seventy-nine percent of patients were triple-class refractory (refractory to a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody). Thirteen percent of patients were previously treated with a BCMA antibody-drug conjugate.
Efficacy was established based on objective response rate (ORR) as determined by blinded independent review committee (IRC), as measured using the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria (see Table 10). The median time to first response was 0.95 months (range: 0.5 to 6 months). With a median follow-up of 11.3 months among responders, the estimated duration of response (DOR) rate was 89% (95% CI: 77, 95) at 9 months and 72% (95% CI: 54, 84) at 12 months.

5.2 Neurologic Toxicity, Including Immune Effector Cell Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome (5.2 Neurologic Toxicity, including Immune Effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome)
LYNOZYFIC can cause serious or life-threatening neurologic toxicity, including immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
In LINKER-MM1, neurologic toxicity occurred in 54% of patients, with Grade 3 or 4 neurologic toxicity occurring in 8%, at the recommended dose [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Neurologic toxicities included ICANS, depressed level of consciousness, encephalopathy, and toxic encephalopathy.
ICANS occurred in 8% of patients who received LYNOZYFIC with the recommended dosing regimen, including Grade 3 events in 2.6%. Most patients experienced ICANS following step-up dose 1 (5%). Two patients (1.8%) experienced initial ICANS following step-up dose 2 and one patient developed the first occurrence of ICANS following a subsequent full dose of LYNOZYFIC. Recurrent ICANS occurred in one patient. The median time to onset of ICANS was 1 (range: 1 to 4) day after the most recent dose with a median duration of 2 (range: 1 to 11) days. The onset of ICANS can be concurrent with CRS, following resolution of CRS, or in the absence of CRS.
The most common clinical signs and symptoms of ICANS are confusion, depressed level of consciousness, and lethargy. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of neurologic toxicity during treatment. At the first sign of neurologic toxicity, including ICANS, immediately evaluate the patient; provide supportive therapy and consider further management per current practice guidelines. Withhold LYNOZYFIC until ICANS resolves and modify the next dose or permanently discontinue LYNOZYFIC based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)]. Counsel patients to seek immediate medical attention should signs or symptoms of neurologic toxicity occur at any time.
Due to the potential for neurologic toxicity, including ICANS, patients receiving LYNOZYFIC are at risk of confusion and depressed consciousness. Advise patients to refrain from driving, or operating heavy or potentially dangerous machinery, for 48 hours after completion of each of the step-up doses [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)] and in the event of new onset of any neurological symptoms, until symptoms resolve.
LYNOZYFIC is available only through a restricted program under a REMS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].
Warning: Cytokine Release Syndrome and Neurologic Toxicity, Including Immune Effector Cell Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome (WARNING: CYTOKINE RELEASE SYNDROME AND NEUROLOGIC TOXICITY, INCLUDING IMMUNE EFFECTOR CELL-ASSOCIATED NEUROTOXICITY SYNDROME)
- Cytokine release syndrome (CRS), including serious or life-threatening reactions, can occur in patients receiving LYNOZYFIC. Initiate treatment with LYNOZYFIC step-up dosing to reduce the risk of CRS. Manage CRS, withhold LYNOZYFIC until CRS resolves, and modify the next dose or permanently discontinue based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.2, 2.4, 2.5) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
- Neurologic toxicity, including immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), including serious or life-threatening reactions, can occur in patients receiving LYNOZYFIC. Monitor patients for signs or symptoms of neurologic toxicity, including ICANS during treatment. Manage neurologic toxicity, including ICANS, withhold LYNOZYFIC until neurologic toxicity, including ICANS resolves, and modify the next dose or permanently discontinue based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.2, 2.4, 2.5) and Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].
- Because of the risk of CRS and neurologic toxicity, including ICANS, LYNOZYFIC is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) called the LYNOZYFIC REMS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].
