New hope for lymphoma: immune booster plus chemotherapy trial launches

NCT ID NCT07588698

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding epcoritamab, an immune-boosting drug, to standard R-CHOP chemotherapy can safely treat newly diagnosed aggressive B-cell lymphoma. About 20 adults with certain lymphoma types will receive the combination. The main goal is to check for a side effect called cytokine release syndrome, while also tracking overall safety and how well the cancer responds.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Epcoritamab (a drug that helps the immune system attack cancer cells) combined with R-CHOP chemotherapy

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could improve treatment outcomes for people with aggressive B-cell lymphoma, potentially leading to better disease control and fewer relapses.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination may cause serious side effects like cytokine release syndrome (CRS), and it's not yet known if it works better than standard therapy.
