Summary

"This trial is testing a combination of two drugs, epcoritamab and tazemetostat, to see if they are safe and effective in treating patients with a specific type of lymph

Who is the study for?

This trial is for patients with grade I-IIIa follicular lymphoma that has either returned after treatment or hasn't responded to past treatments. Specific eligibility details are not provided, but typically participants must meet certain health standards and have a confirmed diagnosis.

What is being tested?

The trial is testing the combination of epcoritamab, a bispecific antibody targeting cancer cell antigens, and tazemetostat, an enzyme inhibitor aimed at stopping cancer growth. This phase II study evaluates their safety and effectiveness in treating relapsed or refractory lymphoma.

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include immune system reactions due to epcoritamab's action on cancer cells and possible impacts on normal cell growth from tazemetostat's enzyme inhibition. The exact side effects are being studied.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Treatment (epcoritamab, tazemetostat)Experimental Treatment6 Interventions

Patients receive tazemetostat PO BID on days 1-28 of each cycle. Patients also receive epcoritamab SC on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of cycles 2-4 then on day 1 of remaining cycles. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 13 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo collection of blood samples on study and undergo bone marrow biopsy and CT or PET/CT throughout the study.
