Genmab A/S presented new data at the ASH Annual Meeting showing the potential of epcoritamab in treating DLBCL and FL. In the EPCORE DLBCL-3 trial, epcoritamab monotherapy showed an overall response rate of 73% in elderly patients with DLBCL. Arm 8 of the EPCORE NHL-2 trial demonstrated an overall response rate of 93% and a complete response rate of 86% in elderly patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL. Arm 1 of the same trial showed durable remissions lasting over three years in most patients with DLBCL. Arm 3 of the EPCORE NHL-2 trial revealed deep and durable responses in FL patients treated with epcoritamab plus BR. A study found a decrease in peripheral CD4+ T cells and an increase in CD8+ T cells after the first full dose of epcoritamab, leading to a reduced CD4:CD8 ratio. Results from the Phase 2 EPCORE DLBCL-3 trial showed a 73% overall response rate, with 62% of patients achieving a complete response. Safety data revealed common adverse events like CRS, diarrhea, and fatigue. Epcoritamab demonstrated promising results as a chemotherapy-free option for elderly patients with comorbidities in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Epcoritamab is currently being studied in Phase 1b/2 and Phase 2 trials for B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, offering potential hope for patients in need of new treatment options. Genmab’s Epcoritamab, developed with DuoBody-CD3 technology, has been approved in certain lymphoma indications and is easily accessible. Co-developed with AbbVie, the therapy is undergoing evaluation in various hematologic malignancies, including in combination therapies. Four Phase 3 trials are ongoing to assess its safety and efficacy. Genmab aims to transform cancer treatment by 2030 through innovative antibody therapeutics. The company’s international presence and focus on next-generation technologies position it as a key player in the biotechnology sector.
