Epcoritamab, sold under the brand name Epkinly, is a monoclonal antibody anticancer medication used for the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.[4][7] Epcoritamab is a bispecific CD20-directed CD3 T-cell engager.[4][7] Epcoritamab was co-developed by AbbVie and Genmab.[8]

Epcoritamab was approved for medical use in the United States in May 2023,[7][9][8][10][11] in the European Union in September 2023,[6] and in Canada in December 2023.[1]

Medical uses

[edit]

Epcoritamab is indicated for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma arising from indolent lymphoma, and high-grade B-cell lymphoma after two or more lines of systemic therapy.[4][7][9]

Side effects

[edit]

The most common adverse reactions include cytokine release syndrome, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, injection site reactions, pyrexia, abdominal pain, nausea, and diarrhea.[7]

History

[edit]

Epcoritamab was evaluated in the EPCORE NHL-1 (NCT03625037) trial in 148 participants with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma after two or more lines of systemic therapy, including at least one anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody-containing therapy.[7]

The efficacy outcome measure was overall response rate (ORR), which was 61%. Of those patients, 38% of patients achieved complete response.[7]

Society and culture

[edit]
[edit]

In July 2023, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommended a conditional marketing authorization for epcoritamab (Tepkinly).[12] It was approved for medical use in the European Union in September 2023.[5] The EMA granted orphan drug designation to epcoritamab in both February and June 2022.[13][14][15]

Names

[edit]

Epcoritamab is the international nonproprietary name.[16][17]
