Brief Summary
This phase II trial tests how well lenalidomide and epcoritamab works in treating patients with follicular lymphoma that has not been previously treated. Although follicular lymphoma is incurable, prognosis has improved for both early and advanced stage disease, largely attributed to therapeutic advances. Lenalidomide may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing and by preventing the growth of new blood vessels that cancer cells need to grow. Epcoritamab is a bispecific monoclonal antibody that binds to two different antigens (the part of the target that the antibody attaches to), at the same time. This dual action allows bispecific antibodies to improve target specificity by binding two antigens on the same cell to recruit and activate immune cells to kill cancer cells. Lenalidomide and epcoritamab, when given together, may be more effective in treating patients with follicular lymphoma than if they were given alone.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Complete response (CR) rate
Defined as the proportion of response evaluable patients who achieve a complete response according to Lugano criteria on study before any documented disease progression or any subsequent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) treatment. Disease assessment will be performed by positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT), CT, magnetic resonance imaging and/or bone marrow biopsy. PET-CT and CT results will be read by a radiologist and investigator response assessment will be performed. CR rate will be estimated along with the 95% exact binomial confidence interval.
Up to 2 years
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Incidence of adverse events (AEs)
Up to 2 years
Overall response rate (ORR)
Up to 2 years
Progression free survival (PFS)
From start of protocol treatment to disease relapse/progression or death due to any cause, whichever is earlier, assessed up to 2 years
Duration of response (DOR)
From the first achievement of CR or PR to disease progression/relapse or death due to any cause, whichever is earlier, assessed up to 2 years
Study Arms (1)
Treatment (lenalidomide and epcoritamab)
EXPERIMENTALPatients receive lenalidomide PO QD on days 1-21 of each cycle and epcoritamab SC on days 1, 8, 15, and 21 of cycles 1-3 and on day 1 of each subsequent cycle. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may be re-treated with study treatment at any point during the follow-up period as long as they did not progress during treatment or stop due to unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo CT, PET/CT, or MRI as well as bone marrow biopsy throughout the trial. Patients undergo blood sample collection on trial and during follow-up.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Documented informed consent of the participant and/or legally authorized representative
- Assent, when appropriate, will be obtained per institutional guidelines
- Age: ≥ 18 years
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) ≤ 2
- Histologically confirmed previously untreated FL grade 1-3a, requiring therapy per Groupe d'Etude des Lymphomes Folliculaires (GELF) criteria
- Radiologically measurable lymphadenopathy (\> 1.5 cm) or extranodal involvement (including spleen, bone marrow or other extranodal site)
- Without bone marrow involvement: Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,000/mm\^3 With bone marrow involvement: ANC ≥ 500/mm\^3
- NOTE: Growth factor is not permitted within 14 days of ANC assessment unless cytopenia is secondary to disease involvement
- Without bone marrow involvement: Platelets ≥ 50,000/mm\^3 With bone marrow involvement: Platelets ≥ 25,000/mm\^3
- NOTE: Platelet transfusions are not permitted within 14 days of platelet assessment unless cytopenia is secondary to disease involvement.
- Total bilirubin ≤ 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (unless has Gilbert's disease)
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 x ULN
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 x ULN
- Creatinine clearance of ≥ 45 mL/min per 24 hour urine test or the Cockcroft-Gault formula or creatinine level \< 1.5 mg/dL
- If not receiving anticoagulants: International normalized ratio (INR) OR prothrombin (PT) ≤ 1.5 x ULN
- +7 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Prior therapeutic intervention with any anti-cancer agents; localized radiotherapy ≤ 20 Gy total dose is permissible if occurred ≥ 4 weeks prior to first dose of study medication.
- Participants must have at least one non-irradiated target lesion
- Concurrent enrollment in another therapeutic investigational study
- Vaccinated with live vaccines within 4 weeks of the first dose of study drug
- Current evidence of central nervous system involvement by the lymphoma
- Grade 3b or transformed FL
- History of prior malignancy except:
- Malignancy treated with curative intent and no known active disease present for ≥ 2 years prior to initiation of therapy on current study
- Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna (melanoma in situ) without evidence of disease
- Asymptomatic prostate cancer managed with "watch and wait" strategy or hormonal therapy
- Uncontrolled active systemic infection
- Absolute lymphocyte count \> 5,000/uL
- Active hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Patients with past HBV infection (defined as negative hepatitis B virus surface protein antigen \[HbsAg\] and positive hepatitis B core antibody \[HbcAb\]) are eligible if HBV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is undetectable. Patients who are positive for HCV antibody are eligible if polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is negative for HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA). Testing to be done only in patients suspected of having infections or exposures
- Known active human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Subjects who have an undetectable or unquantifiable HIV viral load with CD4 \> 200 and are on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) medication are allowed. Testing to be done only in patients suspected of having infections or exposures
- Currently active, clinically significant cardiovascular disease, such as uncontrolled arrhythmia or class 3 or 4 congestive heart failure as defined by the New York Heart Association Functional Classification; or a history of myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or acute coronary syndrome within 6 months of screening
