Safety and Efficacy of Epcoritamab With Gemcitabine, Dexamethasone, and Cisplatin (GDP) Salvage Chemotherapy in Relapsed Refractory Large B-cell Lymphoma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Subjects with relapsed large cell lymphoma will receive 3 cycles of combination therapy consisting of GDP and epcoritamab. Each cycle will last 21 days. GDP consists of gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 IV on Days 1 and 8, cisplatin 75 mg/m2 IV on Day 1, and dexamethasone 40 mg orally on Days 1 through 4. Epcoritamab will be administered subcutaneously (SC) on Days 1, 8, and 15. Patients will receive granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) on Day 9 or 10 of each cycle of combination therapy.
Patients will then undergo radiology imaging for disease assessment. Patients can proceed to autoSCT or epcoritamab monotherapy upon completion of Cycle 3 per investigator discretion. The rationale for subjects not proceeding to autoSCT will be captured in the eCRFs.
Hematopoietic stem cell mobilization and collection will be performed according to institutional standards. Patients who do not undergo autoSCT may remain on study treatment and continue epcoritamab monotherapy following completion of Cycle 3. Epcoritamab monotherapy may continue from Cycle 4 to Cycle 9, or until unacceptable toxicity, or disease progression per the Lugano Criteria.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Complete Response (CR) [4 years]
CR rate is defined as proportion of subjects with a CR based on the Lugano Criteria 2022 following 3 cycles of combination treatment.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Overall Response Rate (ORR) [4 years]
ORR is defined as the proportion of subjects with a CR + PR based on Lugano Criteria 2022
- Duration of Response (DOR) [4 years]
DOR is defined as time from first observed response (CR or PR) to date of progression (PD) based on the Lugano Criteria 2022 or death, whichever occurs first.
- Progression-free Survival (PFS) [4 years]
PFS is defined as the time from treatment initiation until disease progression based on the Lugano Criteria 2022 or death from any cause.
- Overall Survival (OS) [4 years]
OS is defined as the time from treatment initiation until death from any cause.
- Feasibility of AutoSCT [6 months]
Feasibility of stem cell mobilization will be assessed based on the number of subjects that undergo autologous transplant.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

Written informed consent and HIPAA authorization for release of personal health information prior to registration. NOTE: HIPAA authorization may be included in the informed consent or obtained separately.
-
Age ≥ 18 years at the time of consent.

-
Histological confirmed CD20+ relapsed large cell lymphoma according to the 5th edition of the WHO classification of the hematolymphoid tumors and the 2022 international consensus classification of mature lymphoid neoplasms including de-novo and transformed from prior indolent B-cell NHL such as follicular lymphoma, or marginal zone lymphoma (33, 34). NOTE: Subjects with high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBCL), NOS subtype, and high-grade B-cell lymphoma with c-MYC, Bcl2 and/or Bcl6 rearrangements (double or triple hit lymphoma) are eligible. Patients with primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma, and T-cell histiocyte-rich B-cell lymphoma, primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type, Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma, Epstein-Barr virus-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, NOS, Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma associated with chronic inflammation, and ALK-positive large B-cell lymphoma are eligible.

If archival tissue is not available, tissue from a fresh tissue from a standard of care biopsy is required. If a subject does not have archival tissue or is not undergoing a standard of care biopsy, they are not not eligible for the trial. NOTE: A pre-treatment fresh tissue core or excisional biopsy at screening is preferred which should be considered standard of care.
