Indication & Patient Population
- • Adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
- • Must have epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion mutations
- • Mutation must be detected by an FDA-approved test
- • Disease must have progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy
Dosing & Administration Criteria
- • Weight-based dosing: Under 80 kg = 1050 mg; ≥80 kg = 1400 mg
- • Dosing schedule: Weekly for 4 weeks (split Week 1 into 2 doses on Day 1 and Day 2), then every 2 weeks
- • Infusion rates are weight- and week-dependent (e.g., Week 1 Day 1 initial rate 50 mL/hr, subsequent 75 mL/hr; Week 3+ up to 125 mL/hr)
Premedication Requirements
- • Acetaminophen 650 mg or 1000 mg prior to each dose
- • Diphenhydramine 25-50 mg IV or oral prior to each dose
- • Dexamethasone 10 mg or Methylprednisolone 40 mg required for initial doses (Week 1 Days 1 and 2); optional for subsequent doses
Safety Monitoring & Precautions
- • Infusion-related reactions: Most common during Week 1 Day 1 and 2; premedication required; incidence lessens over time
- • Interstitial Lung Disease/Pneumonitis: Monitor (incidence 3.3%, Grade 3-4 at 0.7%)
- • Dermatologic Adverse Reactions: Rash/pruritus/dry skin in 74% (Grade 3 rash 3.3%); recommend avoiding sun exposure for 2 months, wearing protective clothing, and using UVA/UVB sunscreen daily

Line of Therapy / Place in Treatment
- • Second-line therapy for NSCLC following progression on first-line chemotherapy
- • Alternative second-line options include mobocertinib; docetaxel is reserved for after progression on amivantamab or mobocertinib
Geriatric Use
