INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
phase II, response-adaptive, open-label, multicenter study aiming to include 80 patients in 78 months. Patients will receive 3 cycles of epcoritamab monotherapy and, since cycle 4, they can continue with epcoritamab monotherapy until cycle 12 or change to combination therapy (epcoritamab + tafasitamab + lenalidomide) until cycle 15. Patients will be followed up to 5 years.
Eligibility
Min Age: 18 Years
Inclusion Criteria26
- Written informed consent must be obtained before any study-specific assessment is performed.
- Age \>18 years
- Patients with Relapse/Refractory histologically confirmed LBCL, including, Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL); Primary Mediastinal Large B Cell Lymphoma (PMBCL), High-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBCL); and grade 3B Follicular Lymphoma.
- Relapsed disease is defined as complete remission to first line therapy followed by a recurrence of the disease after a minimum of 6 months of completion of first-line therapy. A biopsy at the time of relapse is recommended but not mandatory.
- Refractory disease is defined as no objective response to first line therapy (biopsy not mandatory if diagnostic sample available). Four groups of patients are eligible:
- PD as best response to first line therapy.
- SD as best response after at least 4 cycles of first line therapy.

- Absolute lymphocyte count ≥ 0.1/109/L,
- Platelet count ≥ 70/109/L (unless secondary to bone marrow involvement, OR ≥50x/109/L if documented bone marrow involvement). Platelet transfusions permitted but not within 7 days of screening lab collection.
- Female patients of child-bearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test at screening and agree to use highly effective methods of contraception (e.g., established use of oral, injected or implanted combined (estradiol and progesterone containing) hormonal contraception; placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS) upon enrollment according to the recommendations provided by Clinical Trial Facilitation Group (CTFG), during the treatment period and for 4 months after the last dose of study medication. Moreover, the patient must agree to ongoing pregnancy testing during the course of the study, and after study therapy has ended. This applies even if the patient practices complete and continued sexual abstinence.
- Women not of childbearing potential are defined as: premenarchal; postmenopausal (greater than 50 years of age with amenorrhea for at least 12 months or any age with amenorrhea for at least 6 months and a serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level greater than 40 IU per L or milli-International unit (mIU) per mL); permanently sterilized (e.g., bilateral tubal occlusion \[which includes tubal ligation procedures as consistent with local regulations\], hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy); or otherwise be incapable of pregnancy.
- Male patients must use a reliable method of contraception (if sexually active with a female of child-bearing potential) upon enrollment according to the recommendations provided by CTFG, during the treatment period, and for 4 months following the last dose of investigational drug or agreement to remain abstinent. Agreement to refrain from donating blood or sperm during the study participation and for 4 months after the last dose of study medication.
- Women must agree not to donate blood or oocytes during the course of the study and for 4 months after the last dose of study medication. Restrictions concerning blood donation apply as well to females who are not of childbearing potential. Men must also not donate sperm during the trial and for 4 months after receiving the last dose of study drug.
- Females of childbearing potential must refrain from breastfeeding during the course of the study and for 4 months after the last dose of study medication.
- Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other study procedures.
- Not included in other clinical trial or treated with an experimental drug.
