The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has 鈥檚 marketing authorization application (MAA) for epcoritamab (DuoBody-CD3xCD20) to treat relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in adult patients following two or more lines of systemic therapy.
Simultaneously, has submitted a biologics license application (BLA) to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the investigational subcutaneous IgG1-bispecific antibody to treat R/R large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) patients.
Both the regulatory applications are supported by data obtained from the LBCL arm of the multi-centre, open-label, Phase II EPCORE NHL-1 trial.
The study was designed for assessing the antibody鈥檚 initial efficacy and safety in relapsed, progressive, or refractory CD20+ mature B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), including DLBCL adult patients.
global oncology development vice-president and head Mohamed Zaki said: 鈥淭he regulatory submissions for epcoritamab exemplify our pursuit to deliver innovative care for people living with large B-cell lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who have limited treatment options.
鈥淭his achievement represents an initial step in our commitment to scientific research and providing an important treatment option with the potential to become a core therapy for people living with B-cell malignancies such as LBCL and DLBCL.鈥�

By GlobalDataBeing co-developed by AbbVie and , epcoritamab has been designed to bind to CD3 on T-cells and CD20 on B-cells simultaneously.
It also induces T-cell-mediated killing of CD20+ cells.
AbbVie and Genmab share the commercial responsibilities for epcoritamab in the US and Japan, while AbbVie holds the rights to commercialise the antibody across the world.
