(5.3) Cytopenias: Monitor complete blood cell counts during treatment. (5.4) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: May cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to the fetus and to use effective contraception. (5.5, 8.1, 8.3)

EPKINLY can cause CRS, including serious or life-threatening reactions [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

Relapsed or Refractory Large B-cell Lymphoma (LBCL) CRS occurred in 51% of patients with LBCL receiving EPKINLY at the recommended 2-step up dosage schedule in EPCORE NHL, with Grade 1 CRS occurring in 37%, Grade 2 in 17%, and Grade 3 in 2.5% of patients. Recurrent CRS occurred in 16% of patients. Of all the CRS events, most (92%) occurred during Cycle 1. In Cycle 1, 9% of CRS events occurred after the 0.16 mg dose on Cycle 1 Day 1, 16% after the 0.8 mg dose on Cycle 1 Day 8, 61% after the 48 mg dose on Cycle 1 Day 15, and 6% after the 48 mg dose on Cycle 1 Day 22. The median time to onset of CRS from the most recent administered EPKINLY dose across all doses was 24 hours (range: 0 to 10 days). The median time to onset after the first full 48 mg dose was 21 hours (range: 0 to 7 days). CRS resolved in 98% of patients and the median duration of CRS events was 2 days (range: 1 to 27 days). Patients with DLBCL or high-grade B-cell lymphoma should be hospitalized for 24 hours following administration of the first full 48 mg dose [See Dosage and Administration (2.1, 2.2)].

Relapsed or Refractory Follicular Lymphoma (FL) CRS occurred in 49% (42/86) of patients with FL receiving EPKINLY at the recommended 3-step up dosage schedule in EPCORE NHL-1, with Grade 1 CRS occurring in 45% and Grade 2 in 9% of patients. Recurrent CRS occurred in 23% of patients. Of all the CRS events, most (88%) occurred during Cycle 1. In Cycle 1, 14% of CRS events occurred after the 0.16 mg dose on Cycle 1 Day 1, 7% after the 0.8 mg dose on Cycle 1 Day 8, 17% after the 3 mg dose on Cycle 1 Day 15, and 49% after the 48 mg dose on Cycle 1 Day 22. The median time to onset of CRS from the most recent administered EPKINLY dose across all doses was 59 hours (range: 0.1 to 7 days). The median time to onset after the first full 48 mg dose was 61 hours (range: 0.1 to 7 days). CRS resolved in 100% of patients and the median duration of CRS events was 2 days (range: 1 to 14 days). In both patients with LBCL and FL who experienced CRS, the signs and symptoms included pyrexia, hypotension, hypoxia, dyspnea, chills, and tachycardia. Concurrent neurological adverse reactions associated with CRS occurred in 2.5% of patients with LBCL and 4.7% of patients with FL. Concurrent neurological adverse reactions observed in patients with LBCL included headache, confusional state, tremors, dizziness, and ataxia. Concurrent neurological adverse reactions observed in patients with FL included headache and dizziness. Initiate therapy according to EPKINLY step-up dosage schedule. Administer pretreatment medications to reduce the risk of CRS and monitor patients for potential CRS following EPKINLY accordingly [see Dosage and Administration (2.2, 2.3, 2.4)]. At the first signs or symptoms of CRS, immediately evaluate patients for hospitalization, manage per current practice guidelines, and administer supportive care as appropriate. Withhold or discontinue EPKINLY based on the severity of CRS [see Dosage and Administration (2.6)]. Patients who experience CRS (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.

EPKINLY can cause life-threatening and fatal immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

Relapsed or Refractory Large B-cell Lymphoma (LBCL) ICANS occurred in 6% (10/157) of patients with LBCL receiving EPKINLY at the recommended 2-step up dosage schedule in EPCORE NHL-1, with Grade 1 ICANS in 4.5% and Grade 2 ICANS in 1.3% of patients. There was one (0.6%) fatal ICANS occurrence. Of the 10 ICANS events, 9 occurred within Cycle 1 of EPKINLY treatment, with a median time to onset of ICANS of 16.5 days (range: 8 to 141 days) from the start of treatment. Relative to the most recent administration of EPKINLY, the median time to onset of ICANS was 3 days (range: 1 to 13 days). The median duration of ICANS was 4 days (range: 0 to 8 days) with ICANS resolving in 90% of patients with supportive care.

Relapsed or Refractory Follicular Lymphoma (FL) ICANS occurred in 6% (8/127) of patients with FL receiving EPKINLY following the 2-step up dosage schedule in EPCORE NHL-1, with Grade 1 ICANS in 3.9% and Grade 2 ICANS in 2.4% of patients. The median time to onset of ICANS was 21.5 days (range: 14-66 days) from the start of treatment. Relative to the most recent administration of EPKINLY, the median time to onset of ICANS was 3 days (range: 0.4 to 7 days). The median duration of ICANS was 2 days (range: 1-7 days) with ICANS resolving in 100% of patients. For patients with LBCL or FL, clinical manifestations of ICANS included, but were not limited to, confusional state, lethargy, tremor, dysgraphia, aphasia, and non-convulsive status epilepticus. The onset of ICANS can be concurrent with CRS, following resolution of CRS, or in the absence of CRS. Monitor patients for potential ICANS following EPKINLY. At the first signs or symptoms of ICANS, immediately evaluate patient and provide supportive therapy based on severity. Withhold or discontinue EPKINLY per recommendations and consider further management per current practice guidelines [see Dosage and Administration (2.6)]. Patients who experience signs or symptoms of ICANS or any other adverse reactions that impair 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.

EPKINLY can cause serious and fatal infections [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Serious infections, including opportunistic infections, were reported in 15% of patients with LBCL receiving EPKINLY at the recommended 2-step up dosage schedule in EPCORE NHL-1 and were most commonly due to sepsis (4.5%) and pneumonia (3.2%). Fatal infections occurred in 1.3% of patients and included COVID-19 (1.3%). Serious infections, including opportunistic infections, were reported in 40% of patients with FL receiving EPKINLY following the 2-step up dosage schedule in EPCORE NHL-1 and were most commonly due to COVID-19 (20%), pneumonia (13%), and urinary tract infections (3%). Fatal infections occurred in 6% of patients and included COVID-19 (5%), pneumonia (0.8%), and sepsis (0.8%). Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection prior to and during treatment with EPKINLY and treat appropriately. Avoid administration of EPKINLY in patients with active infections. Provide PJP prophylaxis prior to initiating treatment with EPKINLY; consider initiating prophylaxis against herpes virus prior to starting EPKINLY [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)]. Withhold or consider permanent discontinuation of EPKINLY based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.6)].

EPKINLY can cause serious or severe cytopenias, including neutropenia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Among LBCL patients who received EPKINLY at the recommended 2-step up dosage schedule in EPCORE NHL-1, Grade 3 or 4 decreased neutrophils occurred in 32%, decreased hemoglobin in 12%, and decreased platelets in 12% of patients. Febrile neutropenia occurred in 2.5%. In patients with FL who received EPKINLY following the 2-step up dosage schedule in EPCORE NHL-1, Grade 3 or 4 decreased neutrophils occurred in 30%, decreased hemoglobin in 10%, and decreased platelets in 8% of patients. Febrile neutropenia occurred in 3.1%. Monitor complete blood counts throughout treatment. Based on the severity of cytopenias, temporarily withhold or permanently discontinue EPKINLY [see Dosage and Administration (2.6)]. Consider prophylactic granulocyte colony-stimulating factor administration as applicable.

Based on its mechanism of action, EPKINLY may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with EPKINLY and for 4 months after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].

Relapsed or Refractory Large B-cell Lymphoma (LBCL)

EPCORE NHL-1 The safety of EPKINLY was evaluated in EPCORE NHL-1, a single-arm study of patients with relapsed or refractory LBCL after two or more lines of systemic therapy, including DLBCL not otherwise specified, DLBCL arising from indolent lymphoma, high grade B-cell lymphoma, and other B-cell lymphomas [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. A total of 157 patients with LBCL received EPKINLY via subcutaneous injection until disease progression or unacceptable toxicities according to the following 28-day cycle schedule: Cycle 1: EPKINLY 0.16 mg on Day 1, 0.8 mg on Day 8, 48 mg on Days 15 and 22 Cycles 2-3: EPKINLY 48 mg on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 Cycles 4-9: EPKINLY 48 mg on Days 1 and 15 Cycles 10 and beyond: EPKINLY 48 mg on Day 1 Of the 157 patients treated, the median age was 64 years (range: 20 to 83), 60% were male, and 97% had an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. Race was reported in 133 (85%) patients; of these patients, 61% were White, 19% were Asian, and 0.6% were Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander. There were no Black or African American or Hispanic or Latino patients treated in the clinical trial as reported. The median number of prior therapies was 3 (range: 2 to 11). The study excluded patients with CNS involvement of lymphoma, allogeneic HSCT or solid organ transplant, an ongoing active infection, and any patients with known impaired T-cell immunity. The median duration of exposure for patients receiving EPKINLY was 5 cycles (range: 1 to 20 cycles). Serious adverse reactions occurred in 54% of patients who received EPKINLY. Serious adverse reactions in ≥ 2% of patients included CRS, infections (including sepsis, COVID-19, pneumonia, and upper respiratory tract infections), pleural effusion, febrile neutropenia, fever, and ICANS. Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 3.8% of patients who received EPKINLY, including COVID-19 (1.3%), hepatotoxicity (0.6%), ICANS (0.6%), myocardial infarction (0.6%), and pulmonary embolism (0.6%). Permanent discontinuation of EPKINLY due to an adverse reaction occurred in 3.8% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of EPKINLY included COVID-19, CRS, ICANS, pleural effusion, and fatigue. Dosage interruptions of EPKINLY due to an adverse reaction occurred in 34% of patients who received EPKINLY. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in ≥ 3% of patients included CRS, neutropenia, sepsis, and thrombocytopenia. The most common (≥ 20%) adverse reactions were CRS, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, injection site reactions, pyrexia, abdominal pain, nausea, and diarrhea. The most common Grade 3 to 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥ 10%) were decreased lymphocyte count, decreased neutrophil count, decreased white blood cell count, decreased hemoglobin, and decreased platelets.

Relapsed or Refractory Follicular Lymphoma (FL)

EPCORE NHL-1 The safety of EPKINLY was evaluated in EPCORE NHL-1, a single-arm study of patients with relapsed or refractory FL after two or more lines of systemic therapy who received EPKINLY following a 2-step up dosage schedule (N=127) [see Clinical Studies (14.2)]. A separate dose optimization cohort evaluated the recommended 3-step up dosage schedule for CRS mitigation (N=86), where EPKINLY was administered via subcutaneous injection until disease progression or unacceptable toxicities according to the following 28-day cycle schedule: Cycle 1: EPKINLY 0.16 mg on Day 1, 0.8 mg on Day 8, 3 mg on Day 15, and 48 mg on Day 22 Cycle 2-3: EPKINLY 48 mg on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 Cycles 4-9: EPKINLY 48 mg on Days 1 and 15 Cycles 10 and beyond: EPKINLY 48 mg on Day 1 With the exception of CRS, the safety results presented below and in tables 11 and 12 represent data from patients who received the 2-step up dosage schedule. The data presented for CRS reflects the 86 patients who received the recommended 3-step up dosage schedule. The study excluded patients with CNS involvement of lymphoma, allogeneic HSCT or solid organ transplant, ongoing active infection, any patients with known impaired T-cell immunity, creatinine clearance < 45 ml/min, alanine aminotransferase > 3 times the upper limit of normal, and a cardiac ejection fraction < 45%.

Recommended 3-step up Dosage Schedule Of the 86 patients with relapsed or refractory FL who received EPKINLY following the recommended 3-step up dosage schedule, the median age was 63.5 years (range: 33-90), 57% were male, and 100% had an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. The median duration of exposure was 5 cycles (range: 1 to 12 cycles). CRS occurred in 49% of patients, with Grade 1 CRS occurring in 45% and Grade 2 in 9% of patients. Serious adverse reactions due to CRS occurred in 28% of patients who received EPKINLY. Dose interruptions due to CRS occurred in 19% of patients who received EPKINLY.

2-step up Dosage Schedule Of the 127 patients with relapsed or refractory FL who received EPKINLY following a 2-step up dosage schedule, the median age was 65 years (range: 39 to 84), 62% were male, and 95% had an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 [see Clinical Studies (14.2)]. The median duration of exposure for patients receiving EPKINLY was 8 cycles (range: 1 to 33 cycles). Serious adverse reactions occurred in 66% of patients who received EPKINLY. Serious adverse reactions in ≥ 5% of patients included CRS, COVID-19, pneumonia, and second primary malignancies. Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 9% of patients who received EPKINLY, including COVID-19 (5%), pneumonitis (1.6%), cardiac failure (0.8%), pneumonia (0.8%), and sepsis (0.8%). Permanent discontinuation of EPKINLY due to an adverse reaction occurred in 19% of patients who received EPKINLY. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of EPKINLY in ≥2% of patients included COVID-19, Hepatitis E, pneumonitis, and second primary malignancy. Dosage interruptions of EPKINLY due to an adverse reaction occurred in 59% of patients who received EPKINLY. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in ≥ 5% of patients included COVID-19, CRS, pneumonia, upper respiratory tract infection, and fatigue. The most common (≥ 20%) adverse reactions were injection site reactions, CRS, COVID-19, fatigue, upper respiratory tract infection, musculoskeletal pain, rash, diarrhea, pyrexia, cough, and headache.

For certain CYP substrates, minimal changes in the concentration may lead to serious adverse reactions. Monitor for toxicity or drug concentrations of such CYP substrates when co-administered with EPKINLY. Epcoritamab-bysp causes release of cytokines [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)] that may suppress activity of CYP enzymes, resulting in increased exposure of CYP substrates. Increased exposure of CYP substrates is more likely to occur after the first dose of EPKINLY and up to 14 days after the first 48 mg dose, and during and after CRS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. (8.2)

Risk Summary Based on the mechanism of action, EPKINLY may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)]. There are no available data on the use of EPKINLY in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk. No animal reproductive or developmental toxicity studies have been conducted with epcoritamab-bysp. Epcoritamab-bysp causes T-cell activation and cytokine release; immune activation may compromise pregnancy maintenance. In addition, based on expression of CD20 on B-cells and the finding of B-cell depletion in non-pregnant animals, epcoritamab-bysp can cause B-cell lymphocytopenia in infants exposed to epcoritamab-bysp in-utero. Human immunoglobulin G (IgG) is known to cross the placenta; therefore, EPKINLY has the potential to be transmitted from the mother to the developing fetus. Advise women of the potential risk to the fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.

Risk Summary There is no information regarding the presence of epcoritamab-bysp in human milk, the effect on the breastfed child, or milk production. Because maternal IgG is present in human milk, and there is potential for epcoritamab-bysp absorption leading to serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with EPKINLY and for 4 months after the last dose.

EPKINLY may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

Pregnancy Testing Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating EPKINLY.

Contraception

Females Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with EPKINLY and for 4 months after the last dose.

The safety and efficacy of EPKINLY in pediatric patients have not been established.

LBCL In patients with relapsed or refractory LBCL who received EPKINLY in EPCORE NHL-1, 77 (49%) were 65 years of age and older, and 29 (19%) were 75 years of age or older. No clinically meaningful differences in safety or efficacy were observed between patients with relapsed or refractory LBCL who were 65 years of age and older compared with younger adult patients

FL In patients with relapsed or refractory FL who received EPKINLY in EPCORE NHL-1, 66 (52%) were 65 years of age or older, and 16 (13%) were 75 years of age and older. In patients with relapsed or refractory FL, there was a higher rate of fatal adverse reactions, primarily infections, including COVID-19, in patients older than 65 years of age compared to younger adult patients. No overall difference in efficacy was observed in patients with relapsed or refractory FL who were 65 years of age and older compared with younger adult patients.

Epcoritamab-bysp is a bispecific CD20-directed CD3 T-cell engager; it is a humanized bispecific IgG1 antibody. Epcoritamab-bysp is manufactured in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells using recombinant DNA technology and has an approximate molecular weight of 149 kDa. EPKINLY (epcoritamab-bysp) injection for subcutaneous use is a sterile, preservative-free, clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to slightly yellow solution, free of visible particles. Each single-dose 4 mg/0.8 mL vial contains epcoritamab-bysp (4 mg), acetic acid (0.19 mg), polysorbate 80 (0.32 mg), sodium acetate (1.7 mg), sorbitol (21.9 mg) and Water for Injection, USP. The pH is 5.5. Each single-dose 48 mg/0.8 mL vial contains epcoritamab-bysp (48 mg), acetic acid (0.19 mg), polysorbate 80 (0.32 mg), sodium acetate (1.7 mg), sorbitol (21.9 mg) and Water for Injection, USP. The pH is 5.5.

Epcoritamab-bysp is a T-cell engaging bispecific antibody that 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. In vitro, epcoritamab-bysp activated T-cells, caused the release of proinflammatory cytokines, and induced lysis of B-cells.

Circulating B-Cell Count Circulating B-cells decreased to undetectable levels (< 10 cells/microliter) after administration of the approved recommended dosage of EPKINLY in patients who had detectable B-cells at treatment initiation by Cycle 1 Day 15 and the depletion was sustained while patients remained on treatment.

Cytokine Concentrations Plasma concentrations of cytokines (IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, and IFN-γ) were measured. Transient elevation of circulating cytokines was observed at dose levels of 0.04 mg and above. After administration of the approved recommended dosages of EPKINLY, cytokine levels increased within 24 hours after the first dose on Cycle 1 Day 1, generally reached maximum levels after the first 48 mg dose, and returned to baseline prior to the second 48 mg full dose.

Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were evaluated at the approved recommended dosage (48 mg) and are presented as geometric mean (CV%) unless otherwise specified. Epcoritamab-bysp area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) increased more than proportionally over a full dosage range from 1.5 to 60 mg (0.03125 to 1.25 times the approved recommended dosage). Epcoritamab-bysp maximum concentration (10.2 mcg/mL [43.2%]) is achieved after the first dose of the Q2W regimen (i.e., the first dose of Cycle 4). No clinically significant differences in pharmacokinetic parameters were observed between patients with relapsed or refractory LBCL and patients with relapsed or refractory FL. PK exposures are summarized for the recommended dosage of EPKINLY in Table 13.

Steady stateSteady state values are approximated at Cycle 15 (Week 60). with every 4-week dosing	2.4 (73.3%)	4.2 (59.8%)	1.1 (134.1%)

Absorption The median (range) Tmax of epcoritamab-bysp after the first full dose and end of the weekly dosing regimen (end of Cycle 3) treatment doses were 4 (0.3 to 7) days and 2.3 (0.3 to 3.2) days, respectively.

Distribution The apparent total volume of distribution is 25.6 L (82%).

Elimination The half-life of full dose epcoritamab-bysp (48 mg) was approximately 22 days (58%) at the end of Cycle 3, with apparent total clearance of approximately 0.53 L/day (40%) after the end of Cycle 3.

Metabolism Epcoritamab-bysp is expected to be metabolized into small peptides by catabolic pathways.

Specific Populations No clinically significant differences in the PK of epcoritamab-bysp were observed based on age (20 to 89 years), sex, race (White or Asian), mild to moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance [CLcr] 30 to < 90 mL/min as estimated by Cockcroft-Gault formula), and mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin ≤ ULN and AST > ULN, or total bilirubin 1 to 1.5 times ULN and any AST) after accounting for differences in bodyweight. The effects of severe renal impairment (CLcr 15 to < 30 mL/min), end-stage renal disease (CLcr < 15 mL/min), or moderate to severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 1.5 times ULN and any AST) on the PK of epcoritamab-bysp are unknown.

Body Weight In patients who received the recommended dosage of EPKINLY, geometric mean average concentration following the first full 48 mg dose was 31% lower in the higher body weight (BW) group (85 to 172 kg) and 13% higher in the lower BW group (39 to 65 kg) compared to patients with BW of 65 to less than 85 kg.

Drug Interaction Studies No clinical studies evaluating the drug interaction potential of epcoritamab-bysp have been conducted.

The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) in the study described below with the incidence of ADA in other studies, including those of epcoritamab-bysp. Anti-epcoritamab-bysp antibodies developed in 2.6% of patients (4 of 156) with LBCL and 4.2% of patients (8 of 190) with FL treated with EPKINLY in Study EPCORE NHL-1 (up to 10 cycles) [see Clinical Studies (14.1, 14.2)] using an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA). Because of the low occurrence of anti-drug antibodies, the effect of these antibodies on the PK, pharmacodynamics, safety, and effectiveness of epcoritamab-bysp is unknown.

No carcinogenicity or genotoxicity studies have been conducted with epcoritamab-bysp. No dedicated studies have been conducted to evaluate the effects of epcoritamab-bysp on fertility.

The efficacy of EPKINLY was evaluated in EPCORE NHL-1 (Study GCT3013-01; NCT03625037), an open-label, multi-cohort, multicenter, single-arm trial in 157 patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) after two or more lines of systemic therapy. The study excluded patients with CNS involvement of lymphoma, allogeneic HSCT or solid organ transplant, ongoing active infection, and any patients with known impaired T-cell immunity. Patients received EPKINLY monotherapy at the recommended 2-step up dosage schedule: Cycle 1: EPKINLY 0.16 mg on Day 1, 0.8 mg on Day 8, 48 mg on Days 15 and 22 Cycles 2-3: EPKINLY 48 mg on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 Cycles 4-9: EPKINLY 48 mg on Days 1 and 15 Cycles 10 and beyond: EPKINLY 48 mg on Day 1 Patients continued to receive EPKINLY until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. In the setting of a suspected tumor flare reaction, continued treatment was permitted. The efficacy population includes 148 patients with DLBCL, not otherwise specified (NOS), including DLBCL arising from indolent lymphoma, and high-grade B-cell lymphoma. Of the 148 patients, the median age was 65 years (range: 22 to 83), 62% were male, 97% had an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1, and 3% had an ECOG performance status of 2. Race was reported in 125 (84%) patients; of these patients, 61% were White, 20% were Asian, and 0.7% were Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander. There were no Black or African American or Hispanic or Latino patients treated in the clinical trial as reported. The diagnosis was DLBCL NOS in 86%, including 27% with DLBCL transformed from indolent lymphoma, and high-grade B-cell lymphoma in 14%. The median number of prior therapies was 3 (range: 2 to 11), with 30% receiving 2 prior therapies, 30% receiving 3 prior therapies, and 40% receiving 4 or more prior therapies. Eighteen percent had prior autologous HSCT, and 39% had prior chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. Eighty-two percent of patients had disease refractory to last therapy and 29% of patients were refractory to CAR T-cell therapy. Efficacy was established based on overall response rate (ORR) determined by Lugano 2014 criteria as assessed by Independent Review Committee (IRC) and duration of response. The efficacy results are summarized in Table 14.

The efficacy of EPKINLY was evaluated in EPCORE NHL-1 (Study GCT3013-01; NCT03625037), an open-label, multi-cohort, multicenter, single-arm trial that included patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) after at least 2 lines of systemic therapy. The study excluded patients with CNS involvement of lymphoma, allogeneic HSCT or solid organ transplant, ongoing active infection, any patients with known impaired T-cell immunity, creatinine clearance < 45 mL/min, alanine aminotransferase > 3 times the upper limit of normal, and a cardiac ejection fraction < 45%. Patients received EPKINLY monotherapy following a 2-step up dosage schedule: Cycle 1: EPKINLY 0.16 mg on Day 1, 0.8 mg on Day 8, 48 mg on Days 15 and 22 Cycles 2-3: EPKINLY 48 mg on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 Cycles 4-9: EPKINLY 48 mg on Days 1 and 15 Cycles 10 and beyond: EPKINLY 48 mg on Day 1 Patients continued to receive EPKINLY until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Among the 127 patients with FL, the median age was 65 years (range: 39 to 84), 52% were 65 years of age or older, and 62% were male. Race was reported in 85 (67%) patients; of these patients, 89% were White, and 8% were Asian. A total of 85% had stage III-IV disease, 25% had bulky disease, 95% had an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1, and 6% had an ECOG performance status of 2. The median number of prior therapies was 3 (range: 2 to 9), with 36% receiving 2 prior lines of systemic therapy, 32% receiving 3 prior therapies, and 32% receiving 4 or more prior therapies. Seventy-nine percent of patients were refractory to prior anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody therapy, 70% were refractory to both anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody and alkylator therapy, 21% had prior rituximab plus lenalidomide therapy, 19% received prior autologous HSCT, and 5% received prior chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. Fifty-two percent of patients had progression of disease within 24 months of first systemic therapy. Efficacy was established based on overall response rate (ORR) determined by Lugano 2014 criteria as assessed by Independent Review Committee (IRC) and duration of response. The median follow-up for DOR was 14.8 months. The efficacy results are summarized in Table 15.

MEDICATION GUIDE EPKINLY® (ep-KIN-lee) (epcoritamab-bysp) injection, for subcutaneous use
This Medication Guide has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.				Revised: August 2024
What is the most important information I should know about EPKINLY? EPKINLY can cause serious side effects, including: Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS). CRS is common during treatment with EPKINLY and can also be serious or life-threatening. Tell your healthcare provider or get medical help right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of CRS, including:
	fever of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher dizziness or light-headedness trouble breathing chills fast heartbeat feeling anxious		headache confusion shaking (tremors) problems with balance and movement, such as trouble walking
	Due to the risk of CRS, you will receive EPKINLY on a "step-up dosing schedule". The step-up dosing schedule is when you receive 2 or 3 smaller "step-up" doses of EPKINLY during your first cycle of treatment (Cycle 1). You will receive your first full dose of EPKINLY a week after your last step-up dose (this will be Day 15 or Day 22 of Cycle 1). If your dose of EPKINLY is delayed for any reason, you may need to repeat the "step-up dosing schedule". Before each dose in Cycle 1, you will receive medicines to help reduce your risk of CRS. You will also receive medicine for 3 days after each dose in Cycle 1. Your healthcare provider will decide if you need to receive medicine to help reduce your risk of CRS with future cycles. See "How will I receive EPKINLY?" for more information about how you will receive EPKINLY.
Neurologic problems. EPKINLY can cause serious neurologic problems that can be life-threatening and lead to death. Neurologic problems may happen days or weeks after you receive EPKINLY. Your healthcare provider may refer you to a healthcare provider who specializes in neurologic problems. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of neurologic problems, including:
	trouble speaking or writing confusion and disorientation drowsiness tiredness or lack of energy		muscle weakness shaking (tremors) seizures memory loss
Your healthcare provider will monitor you for signs and symptoms of CRS and neurologic problems during treatment with EPKINLY, as well as other side effects and treat you if needed. Your healthcare provider may temporarily stop or completely stop your treatment with EPKINLY if you develop CRS, neurologic problems, or any other side effects that are severe.
People with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or high-grade B-cell lymphoma should be hospitalized for 24 hours after receiving their first full dose of EPKINLY on Day 15 of Cycle 1 due to the risk of CRS and neurologic problems. See "What are the possible side effects of EPKINLY?" for more information about side effects.
What is EPKINLY? EPKINLY is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with certain types of DLBCL, high-grade B-cell lymphoma, or follicular lymphoma: that has come back (relapsed) or that did not respond to previous treatment (refractory), and who have already received 2 or more treatments for their cancer.
It is not known if EPKINLY is safe and effective in children.
Before receiving EPKINLY, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you: have an infection. are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. EPKINLY may harm your unborn baby. Females who are able to become pregnant: Your healthcare provider should do a pregnancy test before you start treatment with EPKINLY. You should use effective birth control (contraception) during treatment and for 4 months after your last dose of EPKINLY. Tell your healthcare provider if you become pregnant or think that you may be pregnant during treatment with EPKINLY. are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if EPKINLY passes into your breast milk. Do not breastfeed during treatment and for 4 months after your last dose of EPKINLY. Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
How will I receive EPKINLY? EPKINLY will be given to you by your healthcare provider as an injection under your skin (subcutaneous injection), usually in the lower part of your stomach-area (abdomen) or thigh. Your EPKINLY treatment schedule is divided into cycles that are usually 28 days (4 weeks) long. EPKINLY is usually given every week during Cycles 1 to 3, every 2 weeks during Cycles 4 to 9, and every 4 weeks starting with Cycle 10. Your healthcare provider will decide how many treatment cycles you will receive. See "What is the most important information I should know about EPKINLY?" for more information about how you will receive EPKINLY.
What should I avoid while receiving EPKINLY? Do not drive, operate heavy machinery, or do other dangerous activities if you develop dizziness, confusion, tremors, sleepiness, or any other symptoms that impair consciousness until your signs and symptoms go away. These may be signs and symptoms of CRS or neurologic problems. See "What is the most important information I should know about EPKINLY?" for more information about signs and symptoms of CRS and neurologic problems.
What are the possible side effects of EPKINLY? EPKINLY can cause serious side effects, including: See "What is the most important information I should know about EPKINLY?" Infections. EPKINLY can cause serious infections that may lead to death. Your healthcare provider will check you for signs and symptoms of infection before and during treatment with EPKINLY. Your healthcare provider should prescribe medicines before you start treatment to help prevent infection and treat you as needed if you develop an infection during treatment with EPKINLY. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of infection during treatment with EPKINLY, including:
	fever of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher cough chest pain tiredness shortness of breath		painful rash sore throat pain during urination feeling weak or generally unwell
Low blood cell counts. EPKINLY can cause low blood cell counts which can be serious or severe. Your healthcare provider will check your blood cell counts during treatment with EPKINLY. EPKINLY may cause the following low blood cell counts: low white blood cell counts (neutropenia). Low white blood cells can increase your risk for infection. low red blood cell counts (anemia). Low red blood cells can cause tiredness and shortness of breath. low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia). Low platelet counts can cause bruising or bleeding problems. Your healthcare provider may temporarily stop or completely stop treatment with EPKINLY if you develop certain side effects. The most common side effects of EPKINLY in DLBCL or high-grade B-cell lymphoma include:
	tiredness muscle and bone pain injection site reactions	fever stomach-area (abdominal) pain		nausea diarrhea
The most common severe abnormal laboratory test results with EPKINLY in DLBCL or high-grade B-cell lymphoma include: decreased white blood cells, decreased red blood cells, and decreased platelets. The most common side effects of EPKINLY in follicular lymphoma include:
	injection site reactions COVID-19 tiredness upper respiratory tract infection	muscle and bone pain rash diarrhea		fever cough headache
The most common severe abnormal laboratory test results with EPKINLY in follicular lymphoma include: decreased white blood cells and decreased red blood cells. These are not all of the possible side effects of EPKINLY. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
