FDA approves Epkinly combo for relapsed follicular lymphoma, showing 79% lower progression risk.
The FDA has approved Genmab’s Epkinly (epcoritamab-bysp) in combination with lenalidomide and rituximab for adults with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma, based on the EPCORE FL-1 trial showing significantly improved progression-free survival and overall response rates compared to standard therapy.
The combination reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 79%, with a median PFS not reached versus 11.2 months in the control group and an ORR of 89% versus 74%.
The drug, a bispecific T-cell engager, is administered subcutaneously and previously received accelerated approval in 2024.
The FDA also granted traditional approval for Epkinly monotherapy in patients with two or more prior treatments.
Common side effects include cytokine release syndrome, infections, and cytopenias, with boxed warnings for serious immune-related reactions.
