MINJUVI® DEMONSTRATED A GENERALLY MANAGEABLE SAFETY PROFILE AT A MEDIAN FOLLOW UP OF 42.7 MONTHS1-3

  • L-MIND confirmed MINJUVI® plus lenalidomide to be well tolerated by patients with transplant ineligible R/R DLBCL,4 including in elderly patients and those with co-morbidities5
  • Overall, MINJUVI® plus lenalidomide was well tolerated in long-term, three-year follow up of the L-MIND study, and no unexpected toxicities or new safety signals arose3
    • Treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) were consistent in incidence and severity at later follow up versus primary analysis outcomes*3
  • The adverse event (AE) burden decreased when patients continued from a combination of MINJUVI® and lenalidomide to MINJUVI® monotherapy**3

TEAEs (any Grade) by patient years of exposure to MINJUVI® plus lenalidomide and MINJUVI® monotherapy*3

*Follow up 42.7 months vs. 19.6 months; **Safety analysis set (n=81), median duration of exposure to MINJUVI® or lenalidomide 9.2 months.

  • Serious TEAEs† were reported in 43 patients (53.1%)3
    • The most common SAEs were pneumonia (seven patients [8.6%]), febrile neutropenia (five patients [6.2%]), pulmonary embolism (three patients [3.7%]), bronchitis, lower respiratory tract infection, atrial fibrillation and congestive cardiac failure (all of which occurred in two patients [2.5%])3
    • The most common Grade ≥3 TEAEs were neutropenia (49%), thrombocytopenia (17%) and febrile neutropenia (12.3%)3
  • In the 10 patients (12.3%) that experienced febrile neutropenia (Grade 3 or 4), five patients developed no infections at all or their timing was not associated with febrile neutropenia3
  • During the study, the incidence of infusion-related reactions was low. All cases were Grade 13
  • The most frequent TEAE leading to treatment interruption for tafasitamab (± lenalidomide) and lenalidomide (± tafasitamab) therapy was neutropenia (28 [34.6%] patients and 24 [29.6%] patients, respectively)3
    • During the monotherapy phase, 21 (52.5%) patients had an interruption of treatment due to at least one TEAE, the most common reasons being neutropenia or leukopenia (nine patients) and respiratory tract infections (six patients)3

†Treatment-emergent AEs include both treatment-related and non-treatment-related AEs not present prior to starting therapy.
