What this trial studies

This study assesses the safety and tolerability of the investigational drug epcoritamab when combined with various anti-neoplastic agents in adults diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Participants will be grouped into treatment arms, each receiving different combinations of epcoritamab and other medications like Lenalidomide and Ibrutinib. The study aims to evaluate adverse events and changes in disease activity over multiple treatment cycles. Approximately 622 adult participants will be enrolled across 100 global sites.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults with specific types of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or follicular lymphoma, who have confirmed CD20+ disease.

Not a fit: Patients with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma types that do not meet the eligibility criteria, such as those with histologically transformed aggressive lymphomas, may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new effective treatment option for patients with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar combinations of therapies for Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, indicating potential for success in this approach.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Diagnosis of:

  \-- Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (de novo or histologically transformed from follicular lymphoma (FL) or nodal marginal zone lymphoma) with histologically confirmed CD20+ disease, inclusive of the following according to World Health Organization (WHO) 2016 classification and documented in pathology report:
  * DLBCL, not otherwise specified (NOS).
  * High-grade B cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL-2 and/or BCL-6 translocations per WHO 2016 ("double-hit" or "triple-hit") Note: High-grade B-cell lymphomas NOS or other double- /triple-hit lymphomas (with histologies not consistent with DLBCL) are not eligible.
  * Follicular lymphoma (FL) Grade 3B. OR
* FL with histologically confirmed CD20+ Grade 1 to 3a and no evidence of histologic transformation to an aggressive lymphoma at most recent representative tumor biopsy, according to WHO 2016 classification. OR
* Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) with histologically confirmed CD20+ disease at most recent representative tumor biopsy according to the WHO 2016 classification with evidence of overexpression of cyclin D1 in association with relevant markers or evidence of t(11;14) assessed by flow cytometry, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), or polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 - 2, except for Arm 6A where ECOG performance status must be 0-1.
* Must have 1 or more measurable disease sites:

  * A positron emission tomography (PET) /computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrating PET-positive lesion(s) AND
  * At least 1 measurable nodal lesion (long axis \> 1.5 cm) or \>= 1 measurable extra-nodal lesion (long axis \> 1.0 cm) on CT scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Exclusion Criteria:

* Prior treatment with epcoritamab or any other bispecific antibody targeting CD3 and CD20.
* Toxicities from prior anticancer therapy that have not resolved to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, v 5.0), Grade 2 or below, with the exception of alopecia. Other eligibility criteria (e.g., laboratory, cardiac criteria) must also be met.
