Safety Lead-In Epcoritamab
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will be enrolled using a modified 3+3 dose-escalation design to establish the Recommended Phase 2 Dose of Epcoritamab and will complete study procedures as follows: * Baseline visit with CT scan and bone marrow biopsy. * Bone marrow biopsy before cycle 6. * Cycles 1 - 3: --Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of 28 day cycle: Predetermined dose of Epcoritamab 1x daily. * Cycles 4 - 9: --Days 1 and 15 of 28 day cycle: Predetermined dose of Epcoritamab 1x daily. * Cycles 10 - 12: --Day 1 of 28 day cycle: Predetermined dose of Epcoritamab 1x daily. * End of Treatment visit with CT scan and bone marrow biopsy. * Follow up visits: every 3 months for 2 years * Off study visit * If there are 0 out of 3 dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), the study will proceed to phase II. If 1/3 participants experience a DLT, up to 3 additional participants will be treated at the same dose level. If more than 1/6 total participants experience a DLT, then the study will not proceed to phase 2.
Phase II Epcoritamab
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will be enrolled and will complete study procedures as follows: * Baseline visit with CT scan and bone marrow biopsy. * Bone marrow biopsy before cycle 6. * Cycles 1 - 3: --Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of 28 day cycle: Predetermined dose of Epcoritamab 1x daily. * Cycles 4 - 9: --Days 1 and 15 of 28 day cycle: Predetermined dose of Epcoritamab 1x daily. * Cycles 10 - 12: --Day 1 of 28 day cycle: Predetermined dose of Epcoritamab 1x daily. * End of Treatment visit with CT scan and bone marrow biopsy. * Follow up visits: every 3 months for 2 years * Off study visit
Interventions
Bispecific antibody, via subcutaneous (under the skin) injection per protocol.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- A diagnosis of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/WM that is CD20+ by immunophenotype or immunohistochemistry confirmed by bone marrow biopsy/aspirate (fresh or archival tissue acceptable) at time of most recent progression. All degrees of CD20 positivity will be accepted.
- Serum IgM level \>2x upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Meeting criteria for initiation of treatment per IWWM2 criteria \[Kyle Semin Oncol 2002\], including but not limited to hyperviscosity syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, cold agglutinin disease, cryoglobulinemia, amyloidosis, cytopenias due to bone marrow infiltration, symptomatic or bulky lymph nodes, symptomatic splenomegaly, constitutional symptoms not otherwise explained by other causes, signs of organ dysfunction secondary to WM
- At least one prior line of treatment that was discontinued either due to intolerance or disease progression
- Prior therapies must have included an anti-CD20 antibody (e.g. rituximab) and a BTK inhibitor (e.g. ibrutinib, zanubrutinib). Patients who received ibrutinib and rituximab in combination as first line therapy will be eligible. BTKi should be stopped to allow a washout period of no less than 4 half-lives prior to epcoritamab.
- Age ≥18 years
- ECOG performance status £ 2
- Life expectancy of greater than 2 years
- Participants must meet the following organ and marrow function as defined below:
- absolute neutrophil count ≥1000 cells/mcl (G-CSF allowed)
- absolute lymphocyte count ≥200 cells/mcl
- platelets ≥75,000 cells/mcl OR ≥50,000 cells/mcl in the presence of bone marrow involvement or splenomegaly (Note: no PLT transfusions within 7 days prior to screening)
- hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL (transfusion allowed)
- total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 institutional upper limit of normal (ULN). In patients with suspected/known Gilbert's disease total bilirubin up to 3x ULN will be allowed but direct bilirubin must be ≤ 2 x ULN
- AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) ≤3× institutional ULN
- +13 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Participants who have disease that has transformed to aggressive lymphoma
- Participants with symptomatic or suspected hyperviscosity syndrome or IgM levels greater than 4000 mg/dL who are unable to undergo plasmapheresis to decrease the risk of an IgM flare. Participants who can undergo plasmapheresis will be eligible as long as they undergo the procedure prior to first treatment dose.
- Participants who are receiving any other investigational agent
- Washout from prior therapy: BTKi: no less than5 half-lives prior to epcoritamab to prevent BTKi rebound and rituximab: no less than 4 weeks (28 days) from last dose.
- Participants who have not recovered from adverse events due to prior anti-cancer therapy (i.e., have residual toxicities \> Grade 1) except for alopecia and peripheral neuropathy
- Uncontrolled intercurrent active infection requiring hospitalization or intravenous antimicrobial agents within 4 weeks of start of treatment
- Uncontrolled underlying cardiac conditions including but not limited to: congestive heart failure grade III or IV (by NYHA) or EF \< 45%, unstable angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction \< 6 months, uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia
- History of uncontrolled neurologic condition including but not limited to: seizure disorder, stroke, psychosis, dementia, CNS vasculitis, encephalitis
- Need for supplemental O2 at rest to maintain SaO2\>92%
- Chronic immunosuppressive therapy for non-WM-related indication within 28 days of initiation of treatment, including systemic corticosteroids 20 mg/day or greater prednisone-equivalent
- Patients with known or suspected CNS involvement or leptomeningeal disease (i.e. BingNeel Syndrome) are excluded given concern for potentially increased risk of neurologic toxicity with epcoritamab. Patients with history of CNS malignancy from separate malignancy must have completed CNS-directed therapy and must currently have no evidence of disease
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women or participants unwilling to adhere to institutional guidelines for highly effective contraception for the duration of the therapy are excluded. This is because of the unknown but potential risk of teratogenic or abortifacient effects, as well as potential for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother, as epcoritamab has not yet been studied in this patient population. A female can be determined to not be of childbearing potential if she meets any of the following criteria:
- Premenarchal
- Postmenopausal (\>45 years of age with amenorrhea for at least 12 months or any age with amenorrhea for at least 6 months and a serum follicle stimulating hormone \[FSH\] level \>40 IU/L or mIU/mL)
- Permanently sterilized (e.g., bilateral tubal occlusion \[which includes tubal ligation procedures as consistent with local regulations\], hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy) Note: If the childbearing potential changes after start of the trial (e.g., woman who is not heterosexually active becomes active, premenarchal woman experiences menarche) a woman must begin a highly effective method of birth control, as described under 3.1.13.
