Study Summary

The purpose of the study is to examine efficacy and safety of epcoritamab with and without lenalidomide in newly diagnosed elderly patients with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) who cannot tolerate anthracycline therapy. Epcoritamab (also known as EPKINLY™, GEN3013 and DuoBody®-CD3xCD20) is an antibody that has already been tested in several clinical studies. All patients will receive active treatment. There is an equal chance of receiving epcoritamab or epcoritamab plus lenalidomide.

  • Have Immune Effector Cell-Associated Encephalopathy (ICE) score of at least 8 out of

  • Have Ann Arbor Stage II-IV disease.

  • Have ECOG PS of 0, 1, or 2; (ECOG PS of 3 may be considered if impairment isattributed to current lymphoma/DLBCL and if pre-phase treatment during the screeningphase results in an improvement of ECOG PS to ≤2 prior to enrollment).

  • Have measurable disease as per Lugano criteria.

  • Have acceptable organ function based on baseline bloodwork.

  • Must have fresh (preferred) or archival biopsy material at screening.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Has been exposed to/received any of the following prior therapies, treatments, orprocedures within the specified timeframes:

  • Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of epcoritamab;

  • Non-investigational antineoplastic agents (except anti-CD20 monoclonalantibodies) or any investigational drug within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives,whichever is shorter, prior to the first dose of epcoritamab;

  • Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), CAR-T, allogeneicstem cell transplantation, or solid organ transplantation;

  • Live, attenuated vaccines within 30 days prior to initiation of epcoritamab;

  • Investigational vaccines within 28 days before the planned first dose ofepcoritamab (ie, experimental and/or non-authorized SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations andtherapies are not allowed);

  • Invasive investigational medical device use within 28 days before the plannedfirst dose of epcoritamab.

  • Has primary central nervous system (CNS) tumor or known CNS involvement orintracranial involvement as confirmed by mandatory brain magnetic resonanceimaging/computed tomography (MRI/CT) scan at screening and, if clinically indicated,by lumbar puncture.

  • Has a seizure disorder requiring anti-epileptic therapy or experienced a seizurewithin 6 months of signing an informed consent form.

  • Has known past or current malignancy other than inclusion diagnosis, with exceptionsas stated in protocol.

  • Has known or suspected allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to either of thetrial treatments or has known or suspected contraindication to the use of alllocally available anti-cytokine therapies per local guidelines for management ofcytokine release syndrome (CRS).
