Glofitamab-gxbm is a bispecific antibody that binds to CD20 expressed on the surface of B-cells, and to CD3 receptor expressed on the surface of T-cells. It causes T-cell activation and proliferation, secretion of cytokines, and the lysis of CD20-expressing B-cells.
Columvi Indications
Indications
In adults with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), not otherwise specified (DLBCL, NOS) or large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) arising from follicular lymphoma after ≥2 lines of systemic therapy.
Columvi Dosage and Administration
Adult
Should hospitalize patients for the 2.5mg step-up dose and for subsequent infusions. Premedicate with dexamethasone, diphenhydramine, and APAP prior to each dose in the step-up dosing schedule and all subsequent infusions (see full labeling). Obinutuzumab pretreatment: a single 1000mg dose given as IV infusion on Day 1 of Cycle 1 at 50mg/hr (may be escalated in 50mg/hr increments every 30mins up to max 400mg/hr), 7 days prior to initiating therapy. Give Columvi by IV infusion (21-day treatment cycles) for a max of 12 Cycles (including Cycle 1 step-up dosing) or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, whichever occurs first. Cycle 1: 2.5mg (step-up dose 1) on Day 8 over 4hrs, then 10mg (step-up dose 2) on Day 15 over 4hrs. Cycle 2: 30mg on Day 1 over 4hrs. Cycle 3–12: 30mg on Day 1 over 2hrs. If CRS occurred with previous dose (in Cycles 1 & 2): may extend time of infusion up to 8hrs; and (in Cycles 3–12): duration of infusion should be maintained at 4hrs. Restarting therapy after dose delay, dose modifications for adverse reactions, others: see full labeling.

Columvi Warnings/Precautions
Warnings/Precautions
Must be administered by a qualified healthcare professional. Have appropriate medical support available. Risk for CRS, neurologic toxicity (including ICANS). Initiate Columvi therapy with step-up dosing schedule and premedicate to reduce the risk for CRS. Ensure adequate hydration. Monitor and evaluate immediately if CRS (may need hospitalization) or neurologic toxicity (including ICANS) occurs; manage according to guidelines, and provide supportive care; withhold or discontinue based on severity (see full labeling). Active infections: do not initiate. Monitor for infections (may be serious) prior to and during treatment. Prior to initiation, give anti-hyperuricemics to those at risk for tumor lysis syndrome, and consider antiviral and PJP prophylaxis for infection risks. Bulky tumors or disease (in close proximity to airways or a vital organ): monitor closely during initial therapy. Monitor for signs/symptoms of compression or obstruction due to mass effect secondary to tumor flare. Embryo-fetal toxicity. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during and for 1 month after the last dose. Pregnancy: exclude status prior to initiation. Nursing mothers: not recommended (during and for 1 month after the last dose).
