Summary
This trial will assess the efficacy and safety of rituximab-epcoritamab combination therapy in FL patients who have not received prior therapy.
Who is the study for?
Adults with untreated Follicular Lymphoma (FL) who are not in urgent need of chemotherapy can join this trial. They must have good organ function, no prior systemic therapy for FL except radiation or short steroids, and agree to use effective contraception. Exclusions include recent major surgery, active infections like hepatitis B/C or HIV, severe medical conditions affecting study participation, certain heart issues within the last 6 months, pregnancy, breastfeeding intentions during the study period.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a combination of two drugs: Rituximab (a monoclonal antibody) and Epcoritamab (a T-cell bispecific antibody), to see how safe and effective they are together as a first-line treatment for patients with Follicular Lymphoma who haven't been treated before.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include allergic reactions to the antibodies used in treatment. Since these drugs affect the immune system's response to cancer cells, there could be inflammation-related symptoms or changes in blood counts that might increase infection risk.
