|clinicalTrials=During the clinical trials of COLUMVI (glofitamab), a range of adverse reactions were observed, some of which were serious or severe. The most commonly reported adverse reaction was Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS), affecting a significant proportion of patients, with varying degrees of severity including serious or fatal cases. Other common adverse reactions included musculoskeletal pain, which covered discomfort in muscles, bones, back, neck, and extremities. Skin reactions were also frequent, encompassing different types of rashes such as dermatitis and erythema. Additionally, fatigue was a prevalent issue, significantly impacting patient well-being. Neurological toxicities were also reported, including severe outcomes such as Immune Effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome (ICANS). The trials noted instances of serious infections, some of which were fatal. Given the intensity and potential severity of these reactions, meticulous monitoring and management protocols were essential during the administration of COLUMVI in the trials.
|useInLaborDelivery=Based on its mechanism of action, COLUMVI may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. The drug causes T-cell activation and cytokine release, which can compromise pregnancy maintenance. Furthermore, due to the expression of CD20 on B cells and the potential for B-cell depletion observed in non-pregnant animals, glofitamab can lead to B-cell lymphocytopenia in infants exposed to the drug in utero. Human immunoglobulin G (IgG) is known to cross the placenta, and hence, COLUMVI has the potential to be transmitted from the mother to the developing fetus. There are no available data on the use of COLUMVI in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk. No animal reproductive and developmental toxicity studies have been conducted with glofitamab
|administration=COLUMVI (glofitamab) is administered intravenously and involves a detailed preparation and dosing schedule to mitigate the risk of Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS). The administration begins with pretreatment using a single 1,000 mg dose of obinutuzumab, given intravenously seven days prior to starting COLUMVI. The step-up dosing schedule of COLUMVI starts on Cycle 1 Day 8 with a 2.5 mg dose administered over four hours, followed by a 10 mg dose on Cycle 1 Day 15, also over four hours. From Cycle 2 to Cycle 12, a 30 mg dose is administered on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle over two hours. The preparation of COLUMVI involves using aseptic techniques, inspecting the solution for particulate matter and discoloration, and diluting it appropriately in an infusion bag. The infusion bag should be gently inverted to mix the solution without shaking, and the diluted solution should be used immediately or stored under specified conditions if not used right away.
|monitoring=Monitoring during and after the administration of COLUMVI is crucial to ensure patient safety and manage potential adverse reactions. Patients must be adequately hydrated before administration and premedicated to reduce the risk of CRS and infusion-related reactions. The infusion should be conducted in a healthcare setting equipped to manage severe adverse reactions. During the infusion, patients should be monitored closely for signs of CRS, such as fever, chills, hypotension, and hypoxia, and for at least 24 hours after completion of the 2.5 mg and 10 mg step-up doses. Subsequent doses require hospitalization and close observation, especially for patients who experienced CRS with previous doses. Regular clinical evaluations are necessary to assess the efficacy and safety of the treatment, and any adverse reactions should be managed according to current guidelines.
|IVCompat=Yes, COLUMVI (glofitamab) is compatible with intravenous (IV) administration. The preparation involves diluting the required volume of COLUMVI into an infusion bag containing 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection or 0.45% Sodium Chloride Injection to a final concentration of 0.1 mg/mL to 0.6 mg/mL.
|mechAction=COLUMVI (glofitamab) is a bispecific CD20-directed CD3 T-cell engager designed to target and eliminate B-cell malignancies. Its mechanism of action involves binding to CD20, a protein expressed on the surface of B-cells, and CD3, a component of the T-cell receptor complex on T-cells. By engaging both targets simultaneously, COLUMVI brings T-cells into close proximity with B-cells, thereby facilitating T-cell activation and subsequent B-cell lysis. This targeted approach leverages the body’s immune system to specifically attack and destroy cancerous B-cells while minimizing damage to other cells.
|PD=The pharmacodynamics of COLUMVI are centered around its ability to induce T-cell mediated cytotoxicity against CD20-expressing B-cells. Upon administration, glofitamab binds to CD20 on malignant B-cells and CD3 on T-cells, resulting in T-cell activation, proliferation, and targeted killing of B-cells. This engagement leads to the release of cytokines, which further enhance the immune response against the tumor. The reduction in B-cell numbers, including malignant cells, is associated with clinical improvements in patients with B-cell lymphomas. The pharmacodynamic effects are closely monitored to manage potential adverse reactions such as Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS), which is indicative of the drug’s potent immunological activity.
|PK=The pharmacokinetics of COLUMVI involve its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. Following intravenous administration, glofitamab exhibits a multi-phase pharmacokinetic profile. The drug shows a rapid initial distribution phase followed by a slower elimination phase. The apparent volume of distribution is relatively small, indicating limited distribution beyond the vascular and interstitial compartments. Glofitamab is not metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes but is instead degraded into small peptides and amino acids through proteolytic pathways typical for monoclonal antibodies. The clearance of glofitamab is mediated through cellular catabolism, with a half-life that supports its dosing schedule of every three weeks after the initial step-up doses.
