Phase 1b/2, Open-Label Trial to Evaluate Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of Epcoritamab As Monotherapy or Combined With Standard-of-Care Therapies in Chinese Subjects With B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Phase 1b/2, Open-Label Trial to Evaluate Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of Epcoritamab As Monotherapy or Combined With Standard-of-Care Therapies in Chinese Subjects With B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
B-cell Lymphoma is an aggressive and rare cancer of a type of immune cells (a white blood cell responsible for fighting infections). The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and toxicity of epcoritamab as a monotherapy and when combined with standard of care therapy [Rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) or Rituximab and lenalidomide (R2)] in adult participants in China with B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Adverse events and change in disease activity will be assessed.
Epcoritamab is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Study doctors put the participants in groups called treatment arms. A monotherapy of epcoritamab and two different combination of epcoritamab with standard of care therapy (R-CHOP or R2) will be explored. Each treatment arm receives a different treatment combination depending on stage of the study and eligibility. Approximately 66 adult participants with B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma will be enrolled in the study in approximately 21 sites in China.
In the monotherapy arm (Cohort 1), participants will receive subcutaneous epcoritamab in 28-day cycles. In the combination arms (Cohorts 2 and 3), participants in Cohort 2 will receive subcutaneous epcoritamab with standard of care therapy (R-CHOP) in 21-day cycles followed by 28-day cycles, participants in Cohort 3 will receive subcutaneous epcoritamab with standard of care therapy (R2) in 28-day cycles.
There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution (hospital or clinic). The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires and side effects.
Inclusion Criteria:
All Cohorts:
Life expectancy of >= 3 months on standard of care (SOC).
Must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score 0 - 2.
Has one or more measurable disease sites:
Cohort 1 Part 1 (Monotherapy Safety Run-in) Specific Criteria:
Cohort 1 Part 2 (Monotherapy Expansion) Specific Criteria:
Must have histologically confirmed CD20+ DLBCL at most recent (previous or current) representative tumor biopsy based on the pathology report, inclusive of the following according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2016 (or later) classification.
Following safety run-in and up to the 12th participant (including the number of safety run-in participants) in Cohort 1, participants must have received at least 1 prior line of systemic therapies which must include an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody containing combination therapy (e.g., rituximab). After safety run-in confirms tolerability of the full dose A of epcoritamab, participants must have received at least 2 prior lines of systemic therapies.
Must have either failed prior autologous HSCT, or be ineligible for autologous HSCT due to age, comorbidities, performance status, comorbidities, or insufficient response to prior treatment.
Must have relapsed or refractory disease. Note: Relapsed disease is defined as disease that has recurred >= 6 months after completion of therapy. Refractory disease is defined as disease that either progressed or failed to achieve an objective response during therapy or progressed within 6 months (< 6 months) of completion of therapy.
Cohort 2 Specific Criteria:
Must have newly diagnosed CD20+ DLBCL.
Must have one of the following histologically confirmed CD20+ DLBCL (de novo or histologically transformed from FL at most recent (previous or current) representative tumor biopsy based on the pathology report including one of the following diagnoses according to the WHO 2016 (or later) classification:
Eligible for standard R-CHOP for 6 cycles.
Cohort 3 Specific Criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
All Cohorts:
Cohort 2 Specific Criteria:
- History of prior systemic anti-lymphoma therapy (including definitive radiotherapy) for Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) other than corticosteroids.
