S11 Ep13: FDA Approval Insights: Epcoritamab in Relapsed/Refractory Follicular Lymphoma

OncLive® On Air

Welcome to OncLive On Air®! I’m your host today, Ashling Wahner.

OncLive On Air is a podcast from OncLive®, which provides oncology professionals with the resources and information they need to provide the best patient care. In both digital and print formats, OncLive covers every angle of oncology practice, from new technology to treatment advances to important regulatory decisions.

In today’s episode, supported by AbbVie, we had the pleasure of speaking with Jennifer Crombie, MD, about the FDA approval of epcoritamab-bysp (Epkinly) for patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma. Dr Crombie is a physician at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts.

On June 26, 2024, the FDA granted accelerated approval to epcoritamab for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma who have received at least 2 prior lines of systemic therapy. This regulatory decision was supported by findings form the phase 1/2 EPCORE NHL-1 trial (NCT03625037), in which the agent yielded an overall response rate of 82% (95% CI, 74.1%-88.2%) in the primary efficacy cohort (n = 127), including a complete response rate of 60% (95% CI, 50.8%-68.4%).

In our exclusive interview, Dr Crombie discussed the significance of this approval, key findings from the pivotal EPCORE NHL-1 trial, and where the future of the FL treatment paradigm is headed.
