New drug duo aims to tackle lymphoma without chemo

NCT ID NCT05783609

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing whether a combination of two drugs, epcoritamab and rituximab, can effectively treat follicular lymphoma in people who have not had any prior treatment. The trial will enroll about 100 adults with CD20-positive follicular lymphoma. The goal is to see how many patients achieve a complete metabolic response (no signs of active cancer) after treatment.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Epcoritamab and rituximab

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could offer a more effective first-line treatment for follicular lymphoma, potentially leading to longer remission without chemotherapy.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase 2 trial with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Side effects from the immune-based drugs could be significant, and the treatment may not work for everyone.
