Program Overview
The purpose of this study is to test if epcoritamab, a type of antibody, can help treat follicular lymphoma in patients who did not fully respond to their initial treatment. Epcoritamab is designed to activate the immune system to target and destroy cancer cells. Although it is not yet approved by the FDA for follicular lymphoma, it is approved for other uses. Participants will undergo various tests and receive treatment over 12 cycles, with follow-up for two years. The study aims to include about 35 participants and is funded by Genmab, Inc.
Description
This study is a phase 2 trial focusing on patients with follicular lymphoma who did not achieve a complete response after their first treatment. Epcoritamab, the study drug, is a bispecific antibody that helps the immune system attack cancer cells. Participants will be screened for eligibility and will undergo various tests, including scans and blood tests, throughout the study. They will receive up to 12 cycles of treatment and will be monitored for two years. The study is open-label, meaning both the researchers and participants know what treatment is being given. Genmab, Inc. is providing the study drug for this research.
