Study Summary

This trial tests if lenalidomide and epcoritamab can treat follicular lymphoma, a type of cancer. This combo may be more effective than either alone.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with untreated Follicular Lymphoma (FL) grade 1-3a who need treatment. They must have measurable lymphadenopathy or extranodal involvement, acceptable organ function tests, and for women of childbearing potential, a negative pregnancy test and agreement to use effective birth control. Excluded are those with certain heart conditions, active infections like hepatitis B/C or HIV, other recent malignancies, pregnant/breastfeeding women, and anyone unlikely to follow the study procedures.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of combining Lenalidomide (which affects the immune system and blood vessel growth in cancer cells) with Epcoritamab (a dual-action antibody that targets cancer cells more specifically). This phase II trial includes additional diagnostic procedures like bone marrow biopsy and imaging tests such as CT scans, MRIs, PET scans to monitor disease progression.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include immune system reactions due to Lenalidomide's modulation effect; allergic responses from Epcoritamab; fatigue; changes in blood counts leading to increased infection risk; possible liver issues reflected by altered enzyme levels. Specific experiences will vary among participants.

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (lenalidomide and epcoritamab)Experimental Treatment8 Interventions
Patients receive lenalidomide PO QD on days 1-21 of each cycle and epcoritamab SC on days 1, 8, 15, and 21 of cycles 1-3 and on day 1 of each subsequent cycle. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may be re-treated with study treatment at any point during the follow-up period as long as they did not progress during treatment or stop due to unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo CT, PET/CT, or MRI as well as bone marrow biopsy throughout the trial. Patients undergo blood sample collection on trial and during follow-up.
