RYBREVANT FASPRO™ is approved across all indications of RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw)
Compared to intravenous (IV) delivery, RYBREVANT FASPRO™ significantly reduced administration time from several hours to approximately five minutes and demonstrated an approximately fivefold reduction in administration-related reactions (ARRs) (13 percent in SC vs 66 percent in IV arm).
"Formulated with our leading ENHANZE drug delivery technology, RYBREVANT FASPRO™ has the potential to make administration faster and more convenient for patients and their families compared to intravenous administration," said Dr. Helen Torley, president and chief executive officer of Halozyme. "By reducing administration times and simplifying the treatment experience, ENHANZE-formulated products could also support efficiencies for healthcare providers and lower costs for the healthcare system. This approval underscores ENHANZE's role in delivering meaningful clinical and economical value for patients, providers and payers."
Based on the results from the Phase 3 PALOMA-3 study (NCT05388669), RYBREVANT FASPRO™ delivered consistent results to RYBREVANT®, meeting both co-primary pharmacokinetic (PK) endpoints as measured by amivantamab levels in the blood [Ctrough on Cycle (C) 2 Day (D) 1 or C4D1 and C2 area under the curve (AUCD1-D15)].1,2
