Brief Summary:
The purpose of the study is to examine efficacy and safety of epcoritamab with and without lenalidomide in newly diagnosed elderly patients with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) who cannot tolerate anthracycline therapy. Epcoritamab (also known as EPKINLY™, GEN3013 and DuoBody®-CD3xCD20) is an antibody that has already been tested in several clinical studies. All patients will receive active treatment. There is an equal chance of receiving epcoritamab or epcoritamab plus lenalidomide.

Expanded Access : An investigational treatment associated with this study has been approved for sale to the public.   More info ...

Detailed Description:

This is an open-label, multicenter, global phase-2 trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of epcoritamab monotherapy and epcoritamab plus lenalidomide in elderly patients who are deemed anthracycline ineligible.

The trial is designed in two stages:

  • Stage 1 which includes a safety run-in phase in each arm
  • Stage 2, an expansion of the selected treatment from Stage 1

    Changes in lymphoma symptoms as measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Lymphoma (FACT-Lym). Scale from 0-168 obtained by summing individual subscale scores. Higher scores for the scales indicate better quality of life
