EPKINLY delivered an ORR of 61%, with 38% of patients achieving a deep response of CR1
- The median follow-up for DOR was 9.8 months (range: 0-17.3 months)1
- mDOCR*† was NR (n=56/148; 95% CI, 14.3 mo-NR)2
- Complete responses were achieved as late as 10.2 months2
- The median follow-up for DOCR was 9.7 months (range: 8.3-12.1 months)2
- 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
Adverse reactions1
- Warnings and precautions include CRS, ICANS, infections, cytopenias, and embryo-fetal toxicity
- Most common (≥20%) adverse reactions were CRS, injection site reactions, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, fever, diarrhea, COVID-19, rash, and abdominal pain.
- CRS was primarily low grade, predictable, and manageable, with grade 3 (2.5% of patients) and no grade 4 events
- 3.8% discontinued due to ARs; 34% experienced dosage interruptions

An off-the-shelf subcutaneous
bispecific antibody for DLBCL1
- Enables rapid treatment initiation at the moment of relapse3
- Provide Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia prophylaxis during treatment with EPKINLY. Consider providing prophylaxis against herpesvirus during treatment with EPKINLY to prevent herpes simplex and herpes zoster1
