- PR: 23% (n=34/148; 95% CI, 17-31)
- The efficacy of EPKINLY was evaluated in EPCORE® NHL-1, an open-label, multicohort, multicenter, single-arm trial in 148 patients with R/R DLBCL after 2 or more lines of systemic therapy1
- The median follow-up for DOR was 9.8 months (range: 0-17.3 months)1
Manageable safety profile1
- 3.8% discontinued due to ARs; 34% experienced dosage interruptions
- Most common ARs (≥20%) were CRS, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, injection site reactions, pyrexia, abdominal pain, nausea, and diarrhea
- CRS was primarily low grade, predictable and manageable, with grade 3 events occurring in 2.5% of patients and no grade 4 events
- Warnings and precautions include CRS, ICANS, infections, cytopenias, and embryo-fetal toxicity
Please see full Important Safety Information, including Boxed Warnings.
Hospitalization is not required for monitoring with EPKINLY administration. Assess each patient.
- Due to the risk of CRS and ICANS, monitor all patients for signs and symptoms
- Assess whether hospitalization or outpatient monitoring for the first 48 mg dose is appropriate based on comorbidities or other situational factors
- During outpatient monitoring after the first 48 mg dose, patients should remain in proximity to a healthcare facility that can assess and manage CRS
- Hospitalization may be needed to manage some adverse reactions
Please see Dosing and Administration for more information.
