Primary results (median follow-up, 10.7 months) from the pivotal EPCORE NHL-1 study in relapsed or refractory (R/R) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) demonstrated deep, durable responses with epcoritamab, a CD3xCD20 bispecific antibody, when used as monotherapy. We report long-term efficacy and safety results in patients with LBCL (N = 157; 25.1-month median follow-up). As of April 21, 2023, overall response rate was 63.1% and complete response (CR) rate was 40.1%. Estimated 24-month progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 27.8% and 44.6%, respectively. An estimated 64.2% of complete responders remained in CR at 24 months. Estimated 24-month PFS and OS rates among complete responders were 65.1% and 78.2%, respectively. Of 119 minimal residual disease (MRD)-evaluable patients, 45.4% had MRD negativity, which correlated with longer PFS and OS. CR rates were generally consistent across predefined subgroups: 36% prior chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, 32% primary refractory disease, and 37% International Prognostic Index ≥3. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events were cytokine release syndrome (51.0%), pyrexia (24.8%), fatigue (24.2%), and neutropenia (23.6%). These results underscore the long-term benefit of epcoritamab for treating R/R LBCL with deep responses across subgroups, including patients with hard-to-treat disease and expected poor prognosis (ClinicalTrials.gov Registration: NCT03625037).
EPCORE NHL-1 研究是一项针对复发或难治性(R/R)大 B 细胞淋巴瘤(LBCL)的关键性研究,其主要结果显示,在作为单药治疗时,CD3xCD20 双特异性抗体 epcoritamab 可产生深度且持久的应答。本研究报告了 LBCL 患者的长期疗效和安全性结果(N=157;中位随访时间 25.1 个月)。截至 2023 年 4 月 21 日,总体缓解率为 63.1%,完全缓解(CR)率为 40.1%。估计 24 个月无进展生存(PFS)率和总生存(OS)率分别为 27.8%和 44.6%。估计有 64.2%的完全缓解者在 24 个月时仍处于 CR。完全缓解者的估计 24 个月 PFS 率和 OS 率分别为 65.1%和 78.2%。在 119 例可评估微小残留病(MRD)的患者中,45.4%为 MRD 阴性,这与更长的 PFS 和 OS 相关。CR 率在各预设亚组中基本一致:既往嵌合抗原受体(CAR)T 细胞治疗组为 36%,原发性难治性疾病组为 32%,国际预后指数(IPI)≥3 组为 37%。最常见的治疗相关不良事件是细胞因子释放综合征(51.0%)、发热(24.8%)、疲劳(24.2%)和中性粒细胞减少(23.6%)。这些结果强调了 epcoritamab 治疗 R/R LBCL 的长期获益,其应答深度广泛,包括治疗难度大且预后不良的患者(ClinicalTrials.gov 注册号:NCT03625037)。
