- Indication:
- To-Treat Relapsed/Refractory Follicular Lymphoma
Announcement
Genmab A/S announced new results from the Phase 1b/2 EPCORE® NHL-2 trial Arm 10 (NCT04663347), evaluating epcoritamab, a T-cell engaging bispecific antibody administered subcutaneously, in combination with rituximab, ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide (R-ICE) in adult patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL) who are eligible for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT).
AI Summary
Genmab A/S announced promising new results from the Phase 1b/2 EPCORE® NHL-2 trial Arm 10. This study evaluated epcoritamab—a T-cell engaging bispecific antibody given by subcutaneous injection—in combination with the R-ICE regimen (rituximab, ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide) in adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL) who are eligible for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). The trial reported an overall response rate of 87% and a complete response rate of 65%, with 65% of patients moving on to ASCT. The combination therapy was generally well tolerated, with most cases of cytokine release syndrome being low grade and no treatment discontinuations due to adverse events. These encouraging findings suggest that adding epcoritamab to standard salvage chemoimmunotherapy may provide an effective new treatment option for high-risk R/R DLBCL patients.

- Announced Date:
- June 26, 2024
- Indication:
- To Treat Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Follicular Lymphoma
Announcement
AbbVie announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved EPKINLY® (epcoritamab-bysp) as the first and only T-cell engaging bispecific antibody administered subcutaneously for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL) after two or more lines of prior therapy.
AI Summary
AbbVie announced that the FDA has approved EPKINLY® (epcoritamab-bysp) as the first and only T-cell engaging bispecific antibody given by subcutaneous injection for adults with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) after two or more lines of prior therapy.
