Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Incidence of adverse events

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 used for?

Epcoritamab is an investigational monoclonal antibody being studied in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL). It is being evaluated in relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma after second-line CAR T-cell therapy, in aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma combined with EPOCH-R, and in primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the central nervous system.

What does epcoritamab target?

Epcoritamab targets MS4A1 (CD20) on B cells and the CD3 subunits CD3E, CD3G, and CD3D on T cells. By binding both a B-cell surface antigen and the T-cell receptor complex, it is designed to redirect T cells toward B-cell lymphoma cells. It is classified as a binding agent and a monoclonal antibody.

Who makes epcoritamab?

Epcoritamab is being developed by AbbVie Inc., which trades under the ticker ABBV. AbbVie is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating epcoritamab across B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and primary CNS lymphoma.

What phase is epcoritamab in?

Epcoritamab is in Phase 2 clinical development and is investigational. It has received FDA designations of Priority Review, Breakthrough Therapy, and Accelerated Approval. The program includes Phase 2 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 NCT07814001, a Phase 2 trial of epcoritamab plus lenalidomide in relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma after second-line CAR T-cell therapy, in NCT07097363, a Phase 2 trial combining epcoritamab with dose-adjusted EPOCH-R in aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and in NCT06931652, a Phase 2 trial in relapsed or refractory primary CNS lymphoma with lenalidomide and rituximab.

Is epcoritamab FDA approved?

Epcoritamab is investigational and remains in clinical development, with Phase 2 trials ongoing. It holds FDA designations of Priority Review, Breakthrough Therapy, and Accelerated Approval. These designations support the development program but do not by themselves establish approval status for the indications currently under study.
