6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in other clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma The safety of MONJUVI in patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL was evaluated in L-MIND [see Clinical Studies ( 14 .1 )].

Patients (N = 81) received MONJUVI 12 mg/kg intravenously in combination with lenalidomide for a maximum of 12 cycles, followed by MONJUVI as monotherapy until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity as follows: Cycle 1: Days 1, 4, 8, 15, and 22 of the 28-day cycle; Cycles 2 and 3: Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each 28-day cycle; Cycles 4 and beyond: Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle.

Among patients who received MONJUVI, 57% were exposed for 6 months or longer, 42% were exposed for greater than one year, and 24% were exposed for greater than two years.

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 52% of patients who received MONJUVI.

Serious adverse reactions in ≥ 6% of patients included infections (26%), including pneumonia (7%) and febrile neutropenia (6%).

Permanent discontinuation of MONJUVI or lenalidomide due to an adverse reaction occurred in 25% of patients and permanent discontinuation of MONJUVI due to an adverse reaction occurred in 15%.

The most frequent adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of MONJUVI were infections (5%), nervous system disorders (2.5%), and respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders (2.5%).

Dosage interruptions of MONJUVI or lenalidomide due to an adverse reaction occurred in 69% of patients and dosage interruptions of MONJUVI due to an adverse reaction occurred in 65%.

The most frequent adverse reactions which required a dosage interruption of MONJUVI were blood and lymphatic system disorders (41%) and infections (27%).

The most common adverse reactions (≥ 20%) were neutropenia, respiratory tract infection, fatigue, anemia, diarrhea, thrombocytopenia, cough, pyrexia, peripheral edema, and decreased appetite.
