3.1Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The data described in WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and below reflect exposure to LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab in 421 previously untreated patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC whose tumors have EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R substitution mutations in MARIPOSA
The median age of patients who received LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab was 64 years (25 to 88); 64% were female; 59% were Asian, 38% were White, 1.7% were American Indian or Alaska Native, 0.7% were Black or African American, 1% were of unknown or other races; 13% were Hispanic or Latino; 67% had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 1, 33% had ECOG PS of 0; 60% had EGFR exon 19 deletions, and 40% had EGFR exon 21 L858R substitution mutations.
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 49% of patients who received LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab. Serious adverse reactions occurring in ≥ 2% of patients included VTE (11%), pneumonia (4%), rash and ILD/pneumonitis (2.9% each), COVID-19 (2.4%), and pleural effusion and infusion-related reaction (amivantamab) (2.1% each). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 7% of patients who received LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab due to death not otherwise specified (1.2%); sepsis and respiratory failure (1% each); pneumonia, myocardial infarction, and sudden death (0.7% each); cerebral infarction, pulmonary embolism (PE), and COVID-19 infection (0.5% each); and ILD/pneumonitis, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and cardiopulmonary arrest (0.2% each).
Permanent discontinuation of LAZCLUZE due to an adverse reaction occurred in 21% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of LAZCLUZE in ≥ 1% of patients included ILD/pneumonitis, pneumonia, VTE, rash, respiratory failure, and sudden death.
Dosage interruption of LAZCLUZE due to an adverse reaction occurred in 72% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in ≥ 5% of patients were rash, nail toxicity, COVID-19, VTE, increased ALT, and increased AST.
Dose reductions of LAZCLUZE due to an adverse reaction occurred in 42% of patients. Adverse reactions requiring LAZCLUZE dose reductions in ≥ 5% of patients were rash and nail toxicity.
The most common adverse reactions (≥ 20%) were rash, nail toxicity, infusion-related reaction (amivantamab), musculoskeletal pain, edema, stomatitis, VTE, paresthesia, fatigue, diarrhea, constipation, COVID-19, hemorrhage, dry skin, decreased appetite, pruritus, and nausea. The most common Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥ 2%) were decreased albumin, decreased sodium, increased ALT, decreased potassium, decreased hemoglobin, increased AST, increased GGT, and increased magnesium.
Table 3 summarizes the adverse reactions (≥ 10%) in MARIPOSA.
Clinically relevant adverse reactions occurring in < 10% of patients who received LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab included skin ulcer (applicable to amivantamab) and ILD/pneumonitis.

4DESCRIPTION
LAZCLUZE
LAZCLUZE (lazertinib) film-coated tablets contain 80 mg or 240 mg of lazertinib, equivalent to 93.86 and 281.58 mg lazertinib mesylate (calculated on anhydrous basis), respectively. The inactive ingredients are croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, and silica hydrophobic colloidal. The tablet coating consists of glycerol monocaprylocaprate type I, iron oxide black (in 240 mg strength tablets), iron oxide red (in 240 mg strength tablets), iron oxide yellow (in 80 mg strength tablets), macrogol (PEG) polyvinyl alcohol graft copolymer, polyvinyl alcohol-partially hydrolyzed, talc, and titanium dioxide.
5CLINICAL STUDIES
The efficacy of LAZCLUZE, in combination with amivantamab, was evaluated in MARIPOSA [NCT04487080], a randomized, active-controlled, multicenter trial. Eligible patients were required to have untreated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with either exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R substitution EGFR mutations identified by local testing, not amenable to curative therapy. Patients with asymptomatic or previously treated and stable intracranial metastases were eligible to enroll.
Patients were randomized (2:2:1) to receive LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab (N=429), osimertinib monotherapy (N=429), or LAZCLUZE monotherapy (an unapproved regimen for NSCLC) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The evaluation of efficacy for the treatment of untreated metastatic NSCLC relied upon comparison between:
- LAZCLUZE administered at 240 mg orally once daily in combination with amivantamab administered intravenously at 1050 mg (for patients < 80 kg) or 1400 mg (for patients ≥ 80 kg) once weekly for 4 weeks, then every 2 weeks thereafter starting at week 5.
- Osimertinib administered at a dose of 80 mg orally once daily.
Randomization was stratified by EGFR mutation type (exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R substitution mutation), Asian race (yes or no), and history of brain metastasis (yes or no). Tumor assessments were performed every 8 weeks for 30 months, and then every 12 weeks until disease progression.
The major efficacy outcome measure was progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR). Additional efficacy outcome measures included overall survival (OS), overall response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR).
A total of 858 patients were randomized between the two study arms, 429 to the LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab arm and 429 to the osimertinib arm. The median age was 63 (range: 25–88) years; 61% were female; 58% were Asian, and 38% were White, 1.6% were American Indian or Alaska Native, 0.8% were Black or African American, 0.2% were Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, 0.6% were unknown race or multiple races; and 12% were Hispanic or Latino. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status was 0 (34%) or 1 (66%); 69% never smoked; 41% had prior brain metastases; and 89% had Stage IV cancer at initial diagnosis. Sixty percent of patients had tumors harboring exon 19 deletions and the remaining 40% had exon 21 L858R substitution mutations.
Among the 858 patients with EGFR exon 19 deletion or L858R substitution mutations that were randomized between the amivantamab plus LAZCLUZE arm versus the osimertinib arm, available tissue samples from 544 (63%) patients had evaluable results when tested retrospectively using the cobas EGFR Mutation Test v2. Of the 544 patients with evaluable results, 527 (97%) patients were positive for EGFR exon 19 deletion or L858R substitution mutations, while 17 (3%) patients were negative. Available plasma samples from patients were retrospectively tested using an FDA-approved test to confirm the biomarker status.
The trial demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in PFS by BICR assessment and OS for LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab compared to osimertinib (see
Efficacy results are provided in Table 5.

Figure 2: Kaplan-Meier Curves of OS in Patients with Previously Untreated NSCLC
Out of all randomized patients (n=858), 367 (43%) had baseline intracranial lesions assessed by BICR using modified RECIST. Results of pre-specified analyses of intracranial ORR and DOR by BICR in the subset of patients with intracranial lesions at baseline for the LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab arm and the osimertinib arm are summarized in Table 6.
