Genmab Announces Epcoritamab Monotherapy and Epcoritamab-Based Combination Regimens Demonstrate High Response Rates in Elderly Patients with Newly Diagnosed Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL)
Results from the Phase 2 EPCORE® DLBCL-3 trial show fixed-duration epcoritamab monotherapy demonstrated early responses in elderly patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) ineligible for anthracycline-based chemotherapy
Results from the Phase 1b/2 EPCORE® NHL-2 trial show fixed-duration epcoritamab plus standard of care R-mini-CHOP demonstrated sustained minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity and durable remissions in elderly patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL ineligible for full dose R-CHOP
Data were presented at the 2026 European Hematology Association (EHA) Congress
Genmab A/S (Nasdaq: GMAB) today announced new data from two studies evaluating epcoritamab, a T-cell engaging antibody administered subcutaneously, in the first-line (1L) treatment of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who may have limited treatment options due to advanced age or multiple health conditions. Results from the Phase 2 EPCORE® DLBCL-3 study showed an overall response rate (ORR) of 67% and a complete response (CR) rate of 58% with epcoritamab monotherapy in elderly patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL. In the Phase 1b/2 EPCORE NHL-2 study, epcoritamab plus rituximab plus dose-attenuated cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-mini-CHOP) demonstrated an ORR of 93% and a CR rate of 86% in elderly patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL.
