AGAVE-201 secondary endpoint: ORR by organ affected2,3,a,b

A bar graph depicting overall response rates by organ affected in the Niktimvo AGAVE-201 trial. Of the 9 patients who had GvHD impact in their lower GI tract, 89% achieved a complete response; of the 11 patients who had impact in their upper GI tract, 82% achieved a complete response; of the 11 patients who had impact in their esophagus, 13% achieved a partial response and 65% achieved a complete response; of the 55 patients who had impact in their joints and/or fascia, 56% achieved a partial response and 20% achieved a complete response; of the 40 patients who had impact in their mouth, 10% achieved a partial response and 42% achieved a complete response; of the 32 patients who had impact in their lungs, 31% achieved a partial response and 16% achieved a complete response; of the 10 patients who had impact in their liver, 20% achieved a partial response and 20% achieved a complete response; of the 59 patients who had impact in their eyes, 20% achieved a partial response and 10% achieved a complete response; of the 64 patients who had impact on their skin, 17% achieved a partial response and 9% achieved a complete response.

aOrgan-specific responses were evaluated using baseline cGVHD severity as a reference.2

bORR by organ affected was a prespecified secondary endpoint that was not powered for statistical significance and is therefore considered exploratory.4

Due to rounding, organ-specific response percentages may not correspond with the bar chart above.

The majority of patients with skin involvement had deep sclerotic skin lesions at baseline2,3

  • 66% of affected patients had improvement in skin- and joint-tightening severity
  • 44% of patients had a reduction in body surface area affected by sclerosis

*Disease control is defined as complete or partial response to treatment.

cGVHD=chronic graft-versus-host disease; DOR=duration of response; GI=gastrointestinal; ORR=overall response rate.

Indications and Usage

Niktimvo™ (axatilimab-csfr) is a colony stimulating factor-1 receptor (CSF-1R)-blocking antibody indicated for the treatment of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) after failure of at least two prior lines of systemic therapy in adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 40 kg.

Important Safety Information

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Infusion-Related Reactions

Niktimvo™ (axatilimab-csfr) can cause infusion-related reactions. Infusion-related reactions, including hypersensitivity reactions, occurred in 18% of patients who received Niktimvo in the clinical trial (AGAVE-201), with Grade 3 or 4 reactions in 1.3%.

Premedicate with an antihistamine and an antipyretic for patients who have previously experienced an infusion-related reaction to Niktimvo. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infusion-related reactions, including fever, chills, rash, flushing, dyspnea, and hypertension. Interrupt or slow the rate of infusion or permanently discontinue Niktimvo based on severity of the reaction.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Based on its mechanism of action, Niktimvo 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 Niktimvo and for 30 days after the last dose.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 44% of patients who received Niktimvo (N=79). Serious adverse reactions in > 2 patients included infection (pathogen unspecified) (14%), viral infection (14%), and respiratory failure (5.1%). Permanent discontinuation of Niktimvo due to an adverse reaction occurred in 10% of patients and dose reduction due to adverse reaction occurred in 8% of patients. Dose interruptions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 44% of patients. The adverse reactions leading to dose interruption in > 2 patients were viral infection, infection (pathogen unspecified), bacterial infection, musculoskeletal pain, and pyrexia.

The most common (≥ 15%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST), infection (pathogen unspecified), increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT), decreased phosphate, decreased hemoglobin, viral infection, increased gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), musculoskeletal pain, increased lipase, fatigue, increased amylase, increased calcium, increased creatine phosphokinase (CPK), increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP), nausea, headache, diarrhea, cough, bacterial infection, pyrexia, and dyspnea.

Clinically relevant adverse reactions in < 10% of patients who received Niktimvo included:

  • Eye disorders: periorbital edema
  • Skin and subcutaneous skin disorders: pruritus
  • Vascular disorders: hypertension

Immunogenicity: Anti-Drug Antibody–Associated Adverse Reactions

Across treatment arms in patients with cGVHD who received Niktimvo in clinical trials, among the patients who developed anti-drug antibodies (ADAs), hypersensitivity reactions occurred in 26% (13/50) of patients with neutralizing antibodies (NAb) and in 4% (2/45) of those without NAb.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

Lactation

Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 30 days after the last dose of Niktimvo.

Females and Males of Reproductive Potential

Pregnancy Testing

Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating Niktimvo.

Contraception

Females
Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with Niktimvo and for 30 days after the last dose of Niktimvo.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions

Monitor aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), creatine phosphokinase (CPK), amylase, and lipase prior to the start of Niktimvo therapy, every 2 weeks for the first month, and every 1 to 2 months thereafter until abnormalities are resolved. See Table 1 in the Prescribing Information for more recommendations.
