Description

Summary

The study is a global, multi-center safety and efficacy trial of epcoritamab, an antibody also known as EPKINLY™ and GEN3013 (DuoBody®-CD3xCD20). Epcoritamab will either be studied as:

  • Monotherapy, or
  • Combination therapy:
    • epcoritamab + venetoclax
    • epcoritamab + lenalidomide
    • epcoritamab + R-CHOP (i.e., rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine (Oncovin®) and prednisone).

The study includes patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (R/R CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) and patients with Richter's Syndrome (RS).

Study participants with R/R CLL/SLL are treated either with epcoritamab as monotherapy or epcoritamab + venetoclax. Study participants with RS are treated either with epcoritamab as monotherapy or epcoritamab + lenalidomide or epcoritamab + R-CHOP. The trial consists of two parts, a dose-escalation phase (phase Ib) and an expansion phase (phase II). Patients with RS are only included in the expansion phase.

Epcoritamab will be injected subcutaneously (under the skin). Standard-of-care and combination treatments (venetoclax, lenalidomide, and R-CHOP) will be given either orally (by mouth) or intravenously (in a vein).

Study details include:

  • Study duration will be up to 5 years.
  • The treatment duration for each participant will be between 18 months (1.5 years) and 24 months (2 years), depending upon the treatment arm assigned.
  • The visit frequency will be either weekly, every other week, or monthly, depending upon the part of the study.

All participants will receive active drug; no one will be given placebo.

Official Title

A Phase 1b/2, Open-Label, Safety and Efficacy Study of Epcoritamab (GEN3013; DuoBody®-CD3xCD20) in Relapsed/Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Richter's Syndrome

Details

The purpose of the dose-escalation phase of the trial is to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD; if reached) as well as establish the safety profile of epcoritamab monotherapy and epcoritamab + venetoclax in participants with R/R CLL.

The purpose of the expansion phase is to assess and evaluate the preliminary efficacy, safety and tolerability profiles of epcoritamab monotherapy and epcoritamab + venetoclax at the RP2D for patients with R/R CLL/SLL. Along with this, epcoritamab monotherapy, epcoritamab + lenalidomide and epcoritamab + R-CHOP will be evaluated in patients with RS to assess their efficacy, safety and tolerability profiles.
