Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma High-grade B-cell Lymphoma Primary Mediastinal Large B-cell Lymphoma Follicular Lymphoma Mantle Cell Lymphoma Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma Marginal Zone Lymphoma | Biological: Epcoritamab | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
Expanded Access : An investigational treatment associated with this study is available outside the clinical trial. More info ...
The purpose of the dose-escalation part of the trial is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended Phase-2 dose (RP2D), as well as to establish the safety profile of epcoritamab in patients with relapsed, progressive or refractory B-Cell Lymphoma.
In the expansion part, additional patients will be treated with epcoritamab, at the RP2D and the purpose is to further explore and determine the safety and efficacy of epcoritamab.
The dose optimization part will evaluate alternative priming and intermediate dose regimens of epcoritamab. All patients will receive Epcoritamab at the already established full dose.
