A Study to Evaluate Change in Disease Activity of Subcutaneous (SC) Epcoritamab Combined With Intravenous and Oral Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin Hydrochloride, Vincristine, and Prednisone (R-CHOP) or R-CHOP in Adult Participants With Newly Diagnosed Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL)
- Summary
- B-cell Lymphoma is an aggressive and rare cancer of a type of immune cells (a white blood cell responsible for fighting infections). The purpose of this study is to assess the change in disease activity of epcoritamab when combined with intravenous and oral rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) or R-CHOP in adult participants globally with diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Change in disease activity will be assessed. Epcoritamab is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of DLBCL. Study doctors put the participants in groups called treatment arms. Participants will receive epcoritamab combined with R-CHOP, followed by epcoritamab or R-CHOP followed by rituximab will be explored. Approximately 900 adult participants with with newly diagnosed DLBCL will be enrolled in the study in approximately 315 sites in globally. In the Arm 1, participants will receive subcutaneous epcoritamab combined with intravenous and oral R-CHOP followed by subcutaneous epcoritamab in 21-day cycles. In the Arm 2, participants will receive intravenous and oral R-CHOP followed by intravenous rituximab in 21-day cycles. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution (hospital or clinic). The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires and side effects.

Number of Participants with Progression-Free Survival (PFS) with an International Prognostic Index (IPI) of 3-5
Timeframe: Up to Approximately 46 Months
PFS is defined as the duration from randomization to the date of disease progression as determined by Lugano 2014 criteria as assessed by Independent Review Committee (IRC), or death due to any cause whichever comes first.
Number of Participants with PFS
Timeframe: Up to Approximately 46 Months
PFS is defined as the duration from randomization to the date of disease progression as determined by Lugano 2014 criteria as assessed by IRC, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
Number of Participants with Event-free survival (EFS)
Timeframe: Up to Approximately 46 Months
EFS is defined as the duration from randomization to the date of disease progression determined by Lugano criteria as assessed by IRC, IRC-assessed PR or SD followed by non protocol-specified NALT, a positive biopsy on or after end-of-treatment (EOT), regardless of whether NAL initiated, or death from any cause.
Percentage of Participants with Complete Remission (CR)
Timeframe: On or After to Approximately 28 Weeks
CR on or after EOT, determined by Lugano 2014 criteria as assessed by IRC.
Overall survival (OS)
Timeframe: Up to Approximately 76 Months
OS is defined as time from randomization until death due to any causes.
Percentage of Participants with Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) Negativity
Timeframe: Up to Approximately 46 Months
The MRD negativity rate is defined as the percentage of participants who achieve MRD negativity prior to the initiation of any non-protocol-specified new anti-lymphoma therapy.

-
Planned to receive treatment with 6 cycles of standard rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) per investigator determination.
-
Must have newly diagnosed, histologically confirmed CD20+ diffuse large b-cell lymphoma [DLBCL] (de novo or histologically transformed from a diagnosis of follicular lymphoma) at most recent representative tumor biopsy based on the pathology report, with a World Health Organization (WHO) 2016 classification and including:
- DLBCL, Not Otherwise Specified (NOS).
- High grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL-2 and/or BCL-6 rearrangement with DLBCL morphology.
- T-cell/histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma.
- Epstein Barr virus-positive DLBCL, NOS.
- Follicular lymphoma Grade 3b.
Note: The local pathology report must be available at Screening to support CD20+ DLBCL histology.
Composite/intermediate histology with any of the following components is not allowed: high grade B-cell lymphoma, NOS; Hodgkin's lymphoma; primary mediastinal (thymic) large B-cell lymphoma; Burkitt; plasmablastic lymphoma or any CD20- lymphoma, such as anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive large B-cell lymphoma, human herpesvirus type 8-positive DLBCL, or primary effusion lymphoma.
