Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
Treatment (Epcoritamab and EPOCH-R)EXPERIMENTALPatients receive rituximab IV on day 1, prednisone PO BID on days 1-5, etoposide IV and doxorubicin on days 1-4 and cyclophosphamide IV on day 5 of each cycle. Patients also receive epcoritamab SC on days 8 and 15 of cycle 1, days 1, 8 and 15 of cycles 2-4 and day 1 of cycles 5-6. Cycles repeat every 21 days for 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo MUGA scan or echocardiography during screening and receive fludeoxyglucose and undergo PET scan, CT scan, bone marrow biopsy and aspirate (if needed), and blood sample collection throughout the study.
Epcoritamab plus LenalidomideEXPERIMENTALAll enrolled participants will be included in a single cohort. No comparator group will be included.
experimental/epcoritamabEXPERIMENTALInvestigational Medicinal Product (IMP): Epcoritamab will be used during induction phase and Maintenance phase. Auxiliary Medicinal Products (AMP): Rituximab and Lenalidomide Standard use for AMP is: Induction: At cycle 1: Rituximab IV 375mg/m2 Day 1, 8, 15, 22; Lenalidomide 20mg oral route Day 1-Day 21 At cycle 2-3: Day 1: rituximab IV 375mg/m2; Lenalidomide 20mg oral route Day 1-Day 21 At cycle 4-8: Day 1: rituximab IV 375mg/m2; Lenalidomide 20mg oral route Day 1-Day 21 Maintenance: At cycle 9-20: Day 1: Lenalidomide 20mg oral route Day 1-D21 (12 cycles corresponding to one year of maintenance treatment)

Frequently asked questions about Epcoritamab

What is epcoritamab?

Epcoritamab is an investigational monoclonal antibody being developed for B-cell cancers, including B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, primary CNS lymphoma, and refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. It is in Phase 2 clinical development and is not yet approved. It is being studied both as a single agent and in combination with other therapies such as lenalidomide and rituximab.

What does epcoritamab target?

Epcoritamab targets MS4A1, also known as CD20, on B cells, and the CD3 subunits CD3E, CD3G, and CD3D on T cells. By binding both a B-cell surface protein and T-cell receptor components, it is designed to redirect T cells toward malignant B cells. It is classified as a binding agent.

Who is developing epcoritamab?

Epcoritamab is being developed by AbbVie Inc., which trades under the ticker ABBV. AbbVie is the sponsor behind the clinical program evaluating the antibody across several B-cell lymphoma subtypes, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and primary CNS lymphoma.

What phase is epcoritamab in?

Epcoritamab is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational monoclonal antibody and has not been approved for any indication. The Phase 2 program includes studies in relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and primary CNS lymphoma.

What clinical trials is epcoritamab in?

Epcoritamab is being studied in three Phase 2 trials. NCT07097363 is recruiting and combines epcoritamab with EPOCH-R in aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the United States. NCT06931652 is recruiting in primary CNS lymphoma in France. NCT07814001, in France, will test epcoritamab plus lenalidomide after second-line CAR T-cell therapy and is not yet recruiting.

What is epcoritamab used for in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma?

Epcoritamab is being evaluated in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma as an investigational treatment, including in combination with dose-adjusted EPOCH-R chemotherapy and rituximab. The Phase 2 study NCT07097363 is recruiting adults with aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and high-grade B-cell lymphoma subtypes.
