Thank you all for your thoughts - I'm glad I'm not alone in struggling to define what the optimal observation time is for the first dose!
I did reach out to the J&J MSL to see if they could provide a bit more granularity to rates of ARR based on observation time, specifically was it linear in nature (e.g. 50% at 2h, 75% at 3h, and 100% a 4h), or what is something more normally distributed (e.g. 50% at 2h, 90% at 3h, and 100% at 4h), as I think that would help me make the decision between 2h vs 3h vs 4h. I'll keep everyone posted on when I hear back.

For Rybrevant FasPro, I discussed a plan with MSL to mirror what we do for Darzalex FasPro below- which they said was reasonable (as industry not providing clear guidance).
Place IV line C1D1 only in case of systemic reaction
Observation: 1st dose 2hrs, 2nd dose 30 mins, if well tolerated no further obs.

Hi All,
I'm working through our institution's subcutaneous amivantamab treatment plan with it's recent approval and I wanted to see what everyone else's approach has been to post-C1D1 monitoring?
Technically the package insert does not recommend any specific period of monitoring, however, there were meaningful amount of ARRs. PALOMA-3 implemented a 4h monitoring period on trial, but median onset appears to be 2h per labeling. I'm curious if y'all are doing any post-dose monitoring for C1D1, and if so - are y'all doing 2h, 4h, or something else?
Thanks!
-Kevin
