What is the clinical significance of the long-term results from the EPCORE NHL-2 trial of epcoritamab + R-CHOP for previously untreated high-risk DLBCL?

During the 18th International Conference on Malignant Lymphomas (ICML), Jun 17–21, 2025, Lugano, CH, the Lymphoma Hub was pleased to speak with Joshua Brody from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, US. We asked about the clinical significance of the long-term results from the EPCORE NHL-2 (NCT04663347) trial, which evaluated epcoritamab (epcor) in combination with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine sulfate, and prednisone (R-CHOP) in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. 


During this interview, Dr Joshua Brody discussed the latest data presented at the 18th ICML 2025 from the EPCORE NHL-2 study, with a focus on the cohort of patients with high-risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) treated with epcor + R-CHOP as frontline therapy. Brody highlighted the significance of durable remission in this difficult-to-treat population, provided an overview of the top-line data from the trial, and discussed upcoming developments, including the phase III randomized EPCORE DLBCL-2 (NCT05578976) trial, which is currently underway and will further evaluate the efficacy and safety of adding epcor to standard R-CHOP in this high-risk patient population.
