Media Release
COPENHAGEN, Denmark; November 5, 2024
More than 20 abstracts, including four oral presentations, with new clinical data across lines of therapy and subgroups of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) patientsNew and updated data from EPCORE® clinical trial program reinforce the potential of epcoritamab as a monotherapy and in combination to treat multiple B-cell malignancies across lines of therapy
Genmab A/S (Nasdaq: GMAB) announced today more than 20 abstracts evaluating epcoritamab-bysp (EPKINLY®), a T-cell engaging bispecific antibody administered subcutaneously, across lines of therapy and B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) subtypes, will be presented at the 66th Annual Meeting and Exposition of the American Society of Hematology (ASH), being held at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California, and online, December 7-10.
The breadth of the epcoritamab development program will be featured at this year's ASH in four oral presentations. Three of the oral presentations will highlight data evaluating fixed-duration subcutaneous epcoritamab in patients with previously untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL), and relapsed/refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL). The fourth oral presentation will feature the results of a study evaluating epcoritamab monotherapy in patients with R/R chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Additionally, three-year efficacy and safety data for subcutaneous epcoritamab in patients with R/R DLBCL from the EPCORE® NHL-1 trial will be presented.
"The data evaluating epcoritamab being presented at this year's ASH highlight the encouraging clinical results we have seen across epcoritamab clinical trials and demonstrate its potential as a core therapy for B-cell malignancies,” said Dr. Judith Klimovsky, Executive Vice President and Chief Development Officer of Genmab. "This has been a pivotal year for epcoritamab, and alongside our partner AbbVie, we are committed to progressing the comprehensive epcoritamab development program with the goal of potentially providing additional therapeutic options to patients in need of treatments.”
All abstracts accepted for presentation have been published on the ASH Website.

About Epcoritamab
Epcoritamab is an IgG1-bispecific antibody created using Genmab's proprietary DuoBody® technology and administered subcutaneously. Genmab's DuoBody-CD3 technology is designed to direct cytotoxic T cells selectively to elicit an immune response toward target cell types. Epcoritamab is designed to simultaneously bind to CD3 on T cells and CD20 on B cells and induces T-cell-mediated killing of CD20+ cells.i
Epcoritamab (approved under the brand name EPKINLY® in the U.S. and Japan, and TEPKINLY® in the EU) has received regulatory approval in certain lymphoma indications in several territories. Epcoritamab is being co-developed by Genmab and AbbVie as part of the companies' oncology collaboration. The companies will share commercial responsibilities in the U.S. and Japan, with AbbVie responsible for further global commercialization. Both companies will pursue additional international regulatory approvals for the investigational R/R FL indication and additional approvals for the R/R DLBCL indication.
Genmab and AbbVie continue to evaluate the use of epcoritamab as a monotherapy, and in combination, across lines of therapy in a range of hematologic malignancies. This includes four ongoing Phase 3, open-label, randomized trials including a trial evaluating epcoritamab as a monotherapy in patients with R/R DLBCL compared to investigators choice chemotherapy (NCT04628494), a trial evaluating epcoritamab in combination with R-CHOP in adult participants with newly diagnosed DLBCL (NCT05578976), a trial evaluating epcoritamab in combination with rituximab and lenalidomide (R2) in patients with R/R FL (NCT05409066), and a trial evaluating epcoritamab in combination with rituximab and lenalidomide (R2) compared to chemoimmunotherapy in patients with previously untreated FL (NCT06191744). The safety and efficacy of epcoritamab has not been established for these investigational uses. Please visit www.clinicaltrials.gov for more information.
