ClinicalTrials ID:NCT06458439

This clinical trial is exploring the use of epcoritamab before and after CAR T cell therapy to see if it can help treat large B-cell lymphomas, especially when the cancer remains after initial treatment.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The purpose of this study is to test if using the drug epcoritamab before CAR T cell therapy can improve treatment outcomes for patients with large B-cell lymphomas. The study also aims to find out if epcoritamab can effectively treat any remaining cancer after CAR T cell therapy.
