Launched by GENMAB · Nov 5, 2020

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment called epcoritamab for patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or Richter's Syndrome (a type of aggressive lymphoma). Epcoritamab can be given alone or combined with other medications like venetoclax, lenalidomide, or a chemotherapy regimen called R-CHOP. The goal is to see how safe and effective this treatment is for patients who have not responded to previous therapies. This trial is open to adults aged 65 and older who meet certain health criteria, such as having specific types of cancer and a life expectancy of at least three months.

Participants in the trial will receive active treatment for up to two years, with regular visits to the clinic that may occur weekly, biweekly, or monthly. Importantly, everyone in the study will receive the actual drug; there will be no placebo (inactive treatment) given. The trial is currently recruiting participants, and its duration could last up to five years. If you or a loved one are considering joining, it's essential to discuss eligibility and any potential risks with a healthcare provider.
