Study on Epcoritamab as a Follow-Up Treatment for CLL/SLL

Sponsor: Zulfa Omer

Sponsor score: 0

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT07108998

This phase 2 clinical trial is testing the use of Epcoritamab as a follow-up treatment for patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL) who have already been treated with certain medications.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The study aims to find out if using Epcoritamab after treatment with acalabrutinib or zanubrutinib, with or without obinutuzumab, can help patients with CLL or SLL achieve a deeper response and possibly stop treatment while maintaining remission. Patients will receive up to 12 cycles of Epcoritamab while continuing their current treatment. The study will monitor how well the cancer responds and whether the treatment can lead to a long-lasting remission.

Description

This phase II study involves multiple centers and is designed to test if Epcoritamab can help patients with CLL or SLL achieve a complete response after being treated with acalabrutinib or zanubrutinib, with or without obinutuzumab, for at least 12 months. The goal is to see if this approach can lead to a deep remission, allowing patients to stop treatment while maintaining their health. The study will start with a safety phase for the first 9 patients, followed by a two-stage design to evaluate the treatment's effectiveness. Eligible patients will receive Epcoritamab injections for 12 cycles while continuing their current treatment. The response to treatment will be assessed through blood tests, imaging, and bone marrow biopsies. Patients who complete the 12 cycles can continue their current treatment based on discussions with their doctor, regardless of their response status.
