Study on the Safety and Effectiveness of Epcoritamab with a Drug Combination for Patients with B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

1 1 1 1

What is this study about?

This clinical trial is focused on studying a type of cancer called B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. The main treatment being tested is a medication called Epcoritamab, which is also known by its code name GEN3013 or DuoBody-CD3xCD20. This medication is being combined with other treatments to see how safe and effective it is for people with this type of lymphoma. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary effectiveness of these combinations.

Participants in the study will receive Epcoritamab along with other medications, which may include Dexamethasone Isonicotinate, Doxorubicin Hydrochloride, Prednisolone, Diphenhydramine, Cyclophosphamide, Vinblastine Sulfate, Betamethasone Sodium Phosphate, Buclizine Hydrochloride, Paracetamol, Codeine Phosphate, Anakinra, Rituximab, Bendamustine Hydrochloride, Cytarabine, Gemcitabine Hydrochloride, Tocilizumab, Carboplatin, Oxaliplatin, Etoposide, Ifosfamide, Siltuximab, and Lenalidomide. Some participants may receive a placebo instead of one of these medications. The study will be conducted in phases, starting with a dose escalation phase to determine the safest dose, followed by an expansion phase to further assess the treatment’s effectiveness.

Throughout the study, participants will be closely monitored for any side effects and changes in their condition. The study aims to gather information on how well the treatment works in reducing the size of the tumors and improving the overall health of the participants. The trial is expected to continue until 2028, with the goal of finding a safe and effective treatment option for people with B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.

1 initial visit

Upon joining the study, an initial visit is scheduled. During this visit, a comprehensive health assessment is conducted to ensure eligibility for the trial. This includes a physical examination, blood tests, and imaging scans such as CT or MRI to measure any existing lesions.

The purpose of these tests is to confirm the presence of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma and to assess overall health status. This step is crucial for determining the appropriate treatment plan.

2 treatment phase

The treatment phase involves receiving the study medication, epcoritamab, in combination with other agents. The administration of these medications is primarily through intravenous (IV) infusion, which means they are delivered directly into the bloodstream.

The frequency and dosage of the medications depend on the specific treatment arm assigned. This phase is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the medication combination.

3 monitoring and follow-up

Regular follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor health and response to the treatment. These visits include physical exams, blood tests, and imaging scans to track the progress of the disease and any side effects from the treatment.

The monitoring phase is essential for ensuring the safety and well-being of participants, as well as for collecting data on the treatment’s effectiveness.

4 end of treatment

At the end of the treatment period, a final evaluation is conducted. This includes a comprehensive assessment similar to the initial visit, with physical exams, blood tests, and imaging scans.

The purpose of this evaluation is to determine the overall response to the treatment and to gather data for the study’s conclusions.

5 long-term follow-up

After completing the treatment, long-term follow-up may be required. This involves periodic health assessments to monitor for any late effects of the treatment and to ensure continued health and safety.

Long-term follow-up is an important part of the study to understand the lasting impact of the treatment.

    • Arm 3: Newly diagnosed, previously untreated follicular lymphoma (FL) grade 1-3A.
    • Arm 4 and Arm 10: Certain types of DLBCL or FL Grade 3B and eligible for high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplant (HDT-ASCT).
    • Arm 5: Certain types of DLBCL or FL Grade 3B and ineligible for HDT-ASCT.
    • Arm 6: Previously untreated CD20-positive follicular lymphoma (FL).
    • Arm 7: Follicular lymphoma (FL) in complete or partial remission according to Lugano criteria after first-line or second-line treatment with SOC, with the last dose of SOC within 6 months before enrollment.
    • Arm 8: Certain types of DLBCL or FL Grade 3B, and ineligible to receive full-dose anthracycline as part of R-CHOP treatment.
    • Arm 9: Must have received only one prior line of therapy, which included an anti-CD20 antibody with chemotherapy, and the disease progressed within 24 months of starting the first-line treatment.

Who Cannot Join the Study?

  • Patients with any other type of cancer besides Lymphoma of B-cell origin cannot participate.
  • Patients who have had a severe allergic reaction to similar medications in the past are not eligible.
  • Patients with uncontrolled infections or serious illnesses that could interfere with the study are excluded.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women cannot take part in the study.
  • Patients who have received another experimental treatment within the last 4 weeks are not allowed to join.
  • Patients with certain heart conditions that are not stable are excluded.
  • Patients with a history of drug or alcohol abuse that could affect their ability to participate are not eligible.
  • Patients who are unable to follow the study procedures or attend the required visits are excluded.

Trial locations

Epcoritamab is a type of treatment that helps the body’s immune system fight cancer. It is designed to target specific proteins found on the surface of certain cancer cells, particularly in B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. By binding to these proteins, it helps the immune system recognize and destroy the cancer cells. In this trial, Epcoritamab is being tested to see how safe it is and how well it works when used with other treatments.

Lymphoma of B-cell origin – Lymphoma of B-cell origin is a type of cancer that begins in the B lymphocytes, which are a type of white blood cell responsible for producing antibodies. It typically starts in the lymph nodes but can also affect other organs. The disease progresses as the abnormal B cells multiply uncontrollably, forming tumors in the lymphatic system. Over time, these cancerous cells can spread to other parts of the body, including the bone marrow, spleen, and liver. As the disease advances, it can interfere with the body’s ability to fight infections. The progression of the disease can vary, with some forms growing slowly and others more aggressively.
