Cytokine release syndrome:

Cytokine release syndrome (CRS), including serious or life-threatening reactions, can occur in patients receiving epcoritamab. Initiate treatment with the epcoritamab step-up dosage schedule to reduce the incidence and severity of CRS. Withhold epcoritamab until CRS resolves or permanently discontinue based on severity.

Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome:

Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), including life-threatening and fatal reactions, can occur with epcoritamab. Monitor patients for neurological signs or symptoms of ICANS during treatment. Withhold epcoritamab until ICANS resolves or permanently discontinue based on severity.

Dosage guidance:

Safety: Ensure patients are well-hydrated prior to epcoritamab initiation. Avoid administering epcoritamab to patients with active infection. Should only be administered by a qualified provider with appropriate medical support to manage severe reactions (eg, cytokine release syndrome and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome).

Pre- and postmedication: Premedicate prior to each dose in cycle 1; if patient experienced grade 2 or 3 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) with the previous dose, administer premedication in cycle 2 and beyond until epcoritamab is tolerated without subsequent grade 2 or higher CRS. See "Epcoritamab Recommended Pre- and Postmedications" tables below.

Clinical considerations : Provide prophylaxis for Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia prior to initiating epcoritamab. Consider initiating herpes virus prophylaxis prior to initiating epcoritamab to prevent herpes zoster reactivation. Consider prophylactic granulocyte colony-stimulating factor administration as appropriate.

Warnings/Precautions

Concerns related to adverse effects:

• Cytokine release syndrome: Epcoritamab may cause cytokine release syndrome (CRS); may be serious or life-threatening. CRS occurred in approximately half of patients who received epcoritamab at the recommended dose. Grades 1, 2, and 3 CRS were reported. Recurrent CRS was also reported. Most CRS events occurred during cycle 1, predominantly with the full 48 mg dose in cycle 1, although CRS also occurred with the step-up doses. The median time to onset of CRS across all doses was 24 to 59 hours (range: up to 10 days) and the median time to CRS onset after the first full 48 mg dose was 21 to 61 hours (range: 14 days). CRS resolved in most patients and the median duration of CRS events was 2 days (range: 1 to 27 days). Signs/symptoms of CRS included pyrexia, chills, hypotension, hypoxia, dyspnea, and tachycardia. Concurrent neurological adverse reactions associated with CRS occurred in a small percentage of patients and included headache, confusion, tremors, dizziness, and ataxia. Patients who experience CRS (and/or other adverse reactions that impair consciousness) should be evaluated and advised not to drive and to refrain from operating heavy or potentially dangerous machinery until resolution.

• Cytopenias: Epcoritamab may cause serious or severe cytopenias, including neutropenia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Grade 3 and 4 cytopenias (neutropenia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia) and neutropenic fever have occurred.

• Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome: Epcoritamab may cause immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), including life-threatening and fatal reactions. ICANS occurred in a small percentage of patients who received epcoritamab at the recommended dose. Grades 1 and 2 ICANS have been reported, along with one fatal ICANS case. Most ICANS events occurred during cycle 1 of epcoritamab treatment, with a median time to onset of ICANS of 16.5 to 21.5 days (range: 8 to 141 days) from the start of treatment in cycle 1. The median time to ICANS onset relative to the most recent dose was 3 days (range: 0.4 to 13 days). The median duration of ICANS was 2 to 4 days (range: up to 8 days) with ICANS resolving with supportive care in most patients. Clinical manifestations of ICANS included (although not limited to) confusion, lethargy, tremor, dysgraphia, aphasia, and nonconvulsive status epilepticus. The onset of ICANS may be concurrent with CRS, following resolution of CRS, or in the absence of CRS. Patients who experience signs/symptoms of ICANS or any other adverse reactions impairing cognition or consciousness should be evaluated, including potential neurology evaluation, and patients at increased risk should be advised not to drive and to refrain from operating heavy or potentially dangerous machinery until resolution.

• Infection: Epcoritamab may cause serious and fatal infections. Serious infections (≥ grade 3), including opportunistic infections have been reported with the recommended epcoritamab dose (following step-up doses). The most common ≥ grade 3 infections were sepsis, COVID-19, urinary tract infection, pneumonia, and upper respiratory tract infection.

Special populations:

• Older adult: Patients with follicular lymphoma ≥65 years of age experienced a higher rate of fatal adverse reactions, primarily infections (including COVID-19), compared to patients <65 years of age.

Dosage form specific issues:

• Polysorbate 80: Some dosage forms may contain polysorbate 80 (also known as Tweens). Hypersensitivity reactions, usually a delayed reaction, have been reported following exposure to pharmaceutical products containing polysorbate 80 in certain individuals (Isaksson 2002; Lucente 2000; Shelley 1995). Thrombocytopenia, ascites, pulmonary deterioration, and renal and hepatic failure have been reported in premature neonates after receiving parenteral products containing polysorbate 80 (Alade 1986; CDC 1984). See manufacturer's labeling.

Reproductive Considerations

Verify pregnancy status prior to treatment initiation in patients who could become pregnant.

Patients who could become pregnant should use effective contraception during therapy and for 4 months after the last epcoritamab dose.

Pregnancy Considerations

Epcoritamab is a humanized bispecific antibody (IgG1). Human IgG crosses the placenta. Fetal exposure is dependent upon the IgG subclass, maternal serum concentrations, placental integrity, newborn birth weight, and gestational age, generally increasing as pregnancy progresses. The lowest exposure would be expected during the period of organogenesis and the highest during the third trimester (Clements 2020; Palmeira 2012; Pentsuk 2009).

Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted. Based on the mechanism of action, in utero exposure to epcoritamab may cause fetal harm. In addition, newborns exposed to epcoritamab in utero may develop B-cell lymphocytopenia.

Breastfeeding Considerations

It is not known if epcoritamab is present in breast milk.

Epcoritamab is a humanized bispecific antibody (IgG1). Human IgG is present in breast milk; concentrations are dependent upon IgG subclass and postpartum age (Anderson 2021).

Due to the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed infant, breastfeeding is not recommended by the manufacturer during therapy and for 4 months after the last epcoritamab dose.

Monitoring Parameters

CBC (throughout treatment). Verify pregnancy status prior to treatment (in patients who could become pregnant). Monitor for signs/symptoms of CRS (eg, pyrexia, chills, hypotension, hypoxia, dyspnea, tachycardia); at the first signs or symptoms, immediately evaluate patients for hospitalization. Monitor for neurological signs/symptoms of immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) during treatment; evaluate patient immediately at the first signs/symptoms of ICANS. Monitor hydration status. Monitor for signs/symptoms of infection (including opportunistic infections) prior to and during epcoritamab treatment.

The American Society of Clinical Oncology hepatitis B virus (HBV) screening and management provisional clinical opinion (ASCO [Hwang 2020]) recommends HBV screening with hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B core antibody, total Ig or IgG, and antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen prior to beginning (or at the beginning of) systemic anticancer therapy; do not delay treatment for screening/results. Detection of chronic or past HBV infection requires a risk assessment to determine antiviral prophylaxis requirements, monitoring, and follow-up.

Mechanism of Action

Epcoritamab is a bispecific T-cell engaging antibody that targets CD3 and CD20 (Thieblemont 2023). Epcoritamab binds to the CD3 receptor expressed on the surface of T-cells and CD20 expressed on the surface of lymphoma cells and healthy B-lineage cells. Epcoritamab activates T-cells resulting in the release of proinflammatory cytokines, and induces B-cell lysis.

Pharmacokinetics (Adult Data Unless Noted)

Onset: Circulating B cells decreased to undetectable levels (in patients who had detectable B cells at treatment initiation) following the approved recommended epcoritamab dose by cycle 1, day 15.

Duration: B cell depletion was sustained throughout treatment.

Distribution: Vd: 25.6 L.

Metabolism: Metabolized into small peptides via catabolic pathways.

Half-life elimination: ~22 days (after the end of cycle 3).

Time to peak: Following the first full (48 mg) dose in cycle 1: 4 days; following the end of cycle 3: 2.3 days.

Excretion: Clearance: 0.53 L/day (after the end of cycle 3).

Pharmacokinetics: Additional Considerations (Adult Data Unless Noted)

Body weight: In patients who received the recommended epcoritamab dose, cycle 1 median average concentration was 31% lower in a group of patients weighing 85 to 172 kg and 13% higher in a group of patients weighing 39 to 65 kg, compared to patients weighing 65 to <85 kg.
