European Commission approves Roche’s Lunsumio subcutaneous for relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma

• Lunsumio provides high rates of deep and long-lasting responses in third-line and later follicular lymphoma, a disease that typically becomes harder to treat each time a patient relapses^1,2
• Lunsumio subcutaneous offers a new treatment option that can significantly reduce administration time to approximately one minute
• Availability of Lunsumio SC allows patients to receive treatment aligned to clinical requirements and lifestyle preferences

Basel, 19 November 2025 - Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) announced today that the European Commission has granted conditional marketing authorisation of Lunsumio® (mosunetuzumab) subcutaneous (SC) for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL) after two or more lines of systemic therapy. Approval is based on results from the phase I/II GO29781 study, which showed that Lunsumio SC had pharmacokinetic non-inferiority compared with intravenous (IV) administration, with no unexpected safety signals.³

“Building on the benefits of its fixed-duration dosing schedule, Lunsumio can now be administered with a one-minute subcutaneous injection, providing people with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma an additional treatment option to help meet their individual clinical requirements and lifestyle preferences,” said Levi Garraway, MD, PhD, Roche’s Chief Medical Officer and Head of Global Product Development. “Developing new formulations of our medicines is part of our commitment to offering greater flexibility and a better treatment experience for patients.”

Lunsumio SC is a fixed-duration treatment that can be initiated in the outpatient setting and has the potential to substantially reduce treatment administration time with an approximately one-minute injection, compared with a 2-4 hour IV infusion.

Lunsumio has shown a favourable benefit-risk profile and high rates of deep and durable remissions with both IV and SC administration routes in third-line or later (3L+) FL.^1,4 Lunsumio IV was the first bispecific antibody approved for 3L+ FL and has shown sustained responses, with 57% of patients who achieved a CR still in remission at five years.¹ Long-term data from the SC and IV arms of the GO29781 study will be presented at the 67th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition.

These data have been submitted to other healthcare authorities around the world, including the US Food and Drug Administration.

Phase III studies involving Lunsumio SC are ongoing, including the MorningLyte trial investigating Lunsumio SC in combination with lenalidomide in previously untreated FL. Lunsumio, along with Columvi® (glofitamab), is part of Roche’s industry-leading CD20xCD3 bispecific antibody portfolio. Continuing to explore new formulations and combinations of these medicines across different disease areas and lines of treatment is part of Roche’s commitment to improve the patient experience and provide more choice to suit diverse patient and healthcare system needs.

About the GO29781 study
The GO29781 study is a phase II, multicentre, open-label, dose-escalation and expansion study evaluating the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of Lunsumio® (mosunetuzumab), administered both as an intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SC) treatment, in people with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The primary objective for the SC cohort was to show pharmacokinetic (PK) non-inferiority of the SC formulation of Lunsumio compared with the IV formulation, based on the study’s co-primary endpoints. Key secondary endpoints include complete response (CR) rate, objective response rate (ORR), duration of response, progression-free survival, safety and tolerability.

This approval is based on a primary analysis that explored Lunsumio administered subcutaneously in patients with 3L+ follicular lymphoma. Results from the primary analysis showed PK non-inferiority compared with IV administration, and the ORR and CR rates in patients treated with the fixed-duration, subcutaneous formulation of Lunsumio were 74.5% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 64.4-82.9%) and 58.5% (95% CI: 46.9-68.6%), respectively, as evaluated by the independent review faculty. The median duration of CR was 20.8 months (95% CI: 18.8-not evaluable [NE]) for patients receiving Lunsumio SC. The most common all-grade adverse events were injection-site reactions (60.6%; all Grade 1-2), fatigue (35.1%), and cytokine release syndrome (CRS; 29.8%). Overall, the rate and severity of CRS were low; events were low grade (Grade 1-2, 27.7%; Grade 3, 2.1%), occurred during cycle 1 and all fully resolved in a median of two days (range 1-15 days).³

About follicular lymphoma
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the most common slow-growing (indolent) form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, accounting for about one in five cases.^2,5 It typically responds well to treatment but is often characterised by periods of remission and relapse.² The disease typically becomes harder to treat each time a patient relapses, and early progression can be associated with poor long-term prognosis.⁵ It is estimated that more than 110,000 people are diagnosed with FL each year worldwide.^5,6

About Lunsumio® (mosunetuzumab)
Lunsumio is a first-in-class CD20xCD3 T-cell engaging bispecific antibody designed to target CD20 on the surface of B cells and CD3 on the surface of T cells. This dual targeting activates and redirects a patient’s existing T cells to engage and eliminate target B cells by releasing cytotoxic proteins into the B cells. A robust clinical development programme for Lunsumio is ongoing, investigating the molecule as a monotherapy and in combination with other medicines, for the treatment of people with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas, including follicular lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, other blood cancers and autoimmune disorders.
