This is a phase II study designed to evaluate the toxicity and efficacy of the combination of loncastuximab tesirine and epcoritamab in patients with relapsed/refractory aggressive B-cell lymphoma. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell naive patients who have failed first-line therapy and patients who have received CAR-T cells as second-line therapy and experienced CAR-T failure will be eligible for inclusion.
Subjects with histologically confirmed relapsed/refractory DLBCL based on pathology report (WHO 2022 criteria)
DLBCL (de novo or transformed)
High-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 rearrangements
High-grade B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (NOS)
Any prior lymphoma-directed treatment, except for first-line anti-CD20-/anthracycline-containing chemoimmunotherapy or second line CAR-T cell therapy. Particularly, patients previously treated with loncastuximab tesirine and any CD3xCD20 bispecific antibody therapy are not eligible.
Patients with late relapse (>12 months) after first-line immunochemotherapy considered HDCT/ASCT eligible as assessed by the local investigator.
Known central nervous system (CNS) involvement.
Diagnosed or treated for any malignancy other than r/r DLBCL, HGBL or FL grade 3B within the last 3 years, except for adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without evidence of disease, non-invasive basal cell or squamous cell skin carcinoma, adequately treated carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease, localized prostate cancer, post-radical prostatectomy with non-rising prostate-specific antigen levels < 0.1 ng/mL, cervical carcinoma of stage 1B or less, non-invasive, superficial bladder cancer or any curable cancer with a CR of > 2 years duration.
