Led EPCORE NHL-1, the trial that established the subcutaneous bispecific epcoritamab for relapsed large B-cell lymphoma.
Catherine Thieblemont (Hôpital Saint-Louis, Paris) was principal investigator of EPCORE NHL-1, the pivotal trial showing the subcutaneous CD3xCD20 bispecific epcoritamab produces deep, durable responses in relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma, leading to its approval. She has led LYSA trials in marginal zone and elderly DLBCL and co-chairs the EPCORE programme moving bispecifics into earlier lines.
CD20 x CD3 bispecifics gave patients whose lymphoma has failed CAR-T, or who cannot access it, an effective off-the-shelf treatment that can be started within days. Epcoritamab and glofitamab are now standard third-line options and are moving into earlier lines and combinations. They do not yet replace CAR-T, whose remissions appear more durable.
Chemotherapy-free cellular therapy for follicular lymphoma that has stopped responding, with a toxicity profile mild enough that the treatment is deliverable outside the largest centres.
A clean example of a progression-free survival benefit that did not become a survival benefit. Lenalidomide maintenance did not become standard practice after this trial, and the figures are the reason.
One of the few maintenance strategies in lymphoma that improved overall survival rather than only progression-free survival, and the reason three years of rituximab became standard after autologous transplantation in mantle cell lymphoma.
