EPKINLY (epcoritamab-bysp) Approved by FDA to Treat Adult Patients with R/R DLBCL
“DLBCL is an aggressive cancer type that can rapidly progress and resist treatment. The FDA approval of EPKINLY represents a new treatment mechanism of action for third line DLBCL patients. As a non-chemotherapy, single-agent treatment for DLBCL patients, we hope that EPKINLY can effectively treat this aggressive cancer type and can be used for patient care quickly and in an off the shelf form for physicians,” said Thomas Hudson, M.D., senior vice president, research and development, chief scientific officer, AbbVie. “The approval is just the first step, with our partner Genmab, towards a shared goal of developing a core therapy for patients with B-cell malignancies.”
