Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin study: Epcoritamab
Official title Epcoritamab-CAR T Cells for Large B-cell Lymphomas
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06458439
What this study is testing
What is Epcoritamab?
This is an investigational injectable medicine being studied as a potential treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It is designed to bind to CD20 on lymphoma cells and CD3 on T cells to help the immune system target the cancer.
Also referred to as GEN3013.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This study is testing whether giving epcoritamab before CAR T cells helps the treatment work better. It also looks at whether epcoritamab can treat any remaining cancer after CAR T cells.
- Who it's for
- You may be able to join if you have a type of large B‑cell lymphoma that has returned or did not respond to earlier treatments.
- What's involved
- You would receive a drug called epcoritamab and then a special cell therapy called CAR T cells. You will have visits for blood tests and scans to see how the cancer responds.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts about 6 months, with several clinic visits and tests during that time.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
