About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate clinical efficacy of incorporating Epcoritamab into the salvage treatment routine for relapsed-refractory aggressive B-cell lymphoma, followed by autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) and consolidation Epcoritamab. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Will the addition of epcoritamab to intensive salvage chemotherapy be safe and increase the proportion of patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) large B-cell lymphoma who achieve a complete remission prior to planned transplant? * Is consolidation epcoritamab after ASCT deliverable and safe? * Will consolidation epcoritamab will result in improved clearance of molecularly detectable residual disease? * Will the combination of pre- and post-ASCT epcoritamab lead to higher rates of progression-free survival (PFS) and event free survival (EFS) at 12 months compared to historical estimates in this population.
Participants will undergo three phases in this trial:
1. Epcoritamab-Salvage treatment: consists of 3 cycles of R-DHAOx (rituximab, dexamethasone, cytarabine, oxaliplatin) plus Epcoritamab 2. ASCT: Pre-autograft eligibility assessment for ASCT will be performed according to local practice. ASCT may be administered at local referring centre and will follow local standard operative procedures. 3. Consolidation treatment: consists of six 28-day cycles of subcutaneous Epcoritamab, commencing 6 - 12 weeks post ASCT.

Treatments tested in this trial
Epcoritamab
DrugEpcoritamab (Epcor) is a bispecific antibody recognizing the T-cell antigen CD3 and the B-cell antigen CD20. Epcor is a supplied as a concentrate for solution for intended subcutaneous injection. The dose must be prepared by a qualified pharmacist using aseptic technique. Epcoritamab-Salvage treatment phase: 2-3 cycles of R-DHAOx therapy (rituximab, dexamethasone, cytarabine, oxaliplatin), given every 21 days combined with Epcoritamab subcutaneous weekly dosing (priming 0.16mg Cycle 1 Day 1, intermediate 0.8mg cycle 1 day 8, full dose 48mg from cycle 1 day 15 onwards) Epcoritamab Consolidation phase: 6 cycles (28 days each) of subcutaneous Epcoritamab, commencing between 6-12 weeks post ASCT. Epcoritamab dosing and timing for consolidation: * Cycle 1 Day 1: Priming (0.16mg) dose * Cycle 1 Day 8: intermediate (0.8mg) dose * Cycle 1 Day 15: full dose 48mg * Cycle 1 Day 22, Cycle 2-3 Days 1, 8, 15 and 22: 48mg * Cycles 4 to 6 - Days 1 and 15 (fortnightly dosing): 48mg
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Event-free survival (EFS)
Time to event outcome measured in days from commencement of each treatment subset (salvage chemotherapy and Epcoritamab/ASCT/ Epcoritamab re-treatment) to date of first to occur out of reduced partial response (PR) after C2, commencement of non-protocolised cancer treatment, progression or death from any cause.
Secondary outcomes
Evaluate safety and tolerability of combination Epcoritamab with salvage-ASCT
Rate of adverse events according to CTCAE criteria v 6.0 expressed as a number and proportion.
Overall response rate (ORR)
Defined as achievement of at least a partial response to treatment according to Lugano criteria i.e. achievement of a PR or CR at any time during study participation
Complete response rate (CRR)
Defined as achievement of CR at any time during study according to Lugano criteria
Overall Survival (OS)
Defined as the time from commencement of study treatment until death from any cause
