Fixed-duration epcoritamab plus R2 drives favorable outcomes in relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma

November 1, 2025

The EPCORE NHL-2 phase 1b/2 trial evaluated fixed-duration epcoritamab plus R2 in R/R FL after at least one prior line, showing impressive efficacy with an overall response rate (ORR) of 96% and a complete response (CR) of 88%, and 2-year rates for remaining in CR (82%), progression-free survival (PFS) (76%), overall survival (OS) (90%), and freedom from next therapy (84%)—all with non-reached medians. High-risk groups did just as well, with CR rates of 90% in primary refractory, 82% in double refractory. MRD negativity was achieved by 86% overall. Safety was manageable, with mostly low-grade CRS (grade 1/2/3: 38%/11%/2%), neutropenia (65%), and COVID-19 (59%)—notably, no CRS-related discontinuations. This chemo-free, off-the-shelf regimen is delivering deep, durable remissions with practical outpatient dosing—something we’ve all been hoping to see for R/R FL.

A phase 2 trial of CHOP with anti-CCR4 antibody mogamulizumab for older patients with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma Available to Purchase

September 1, 2025

The phase 2 trial of Moga-CHOP (CHOP + mogamulizumab) in older patients with aggressive adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) demonstrated a significant improvement in 1-year PFS (36.2% vs 16% historical control), with a 1-year OS of 66.0% and a CR rate of 64.6%. The overall response rate (ORR) was high at 91.7%, and the median overall survival (OS) reached 1.6 years. Notably, CCR4 mutations and Moga-associated cutaneous AEs correlated with better OS, and the regimen was generally tolerable with no unexpected toxicities. Bottom line: Moga-CHOP is now a strong first-line option for older, transplant-ineligible ATL patients, and it’s encouraging to see these survival gains in a population with historically poor outcomes.

Phase III Trial of Pirtobrutinib Versus Idelalisib/Rituximab or Bendamustine/Rituximab in Covalent Bruton Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor–Pretreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (BRUIN CLL-321)

August 1, 2025

Pirtobrutinib improved progression-free survival (PFS) to 14 months compared to 8 months with Idelalisib/Rituximab or Bendamustine/Rituximab (IdelaR/BR), with a hazard ratio of 0.54, in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who had previously been treated with covalent BTK inhibitors (cBTKi). It also demonstrated favorable tolerability. With acalabrutinib and venetoclax emerging as preferred first-line therapies, Pirtobrutinib represents a strong second-line option for eligible patients.

Zanubrutinib Versus Ibrutinib in Symptomatic Waldenström Macroglobulinemia: Final Analysis From the Randomized Phase III ASPEN Study

November 1, 2023

Final results from the ASPEN study confirm the strong long-term superiority of zanubrutinib over ibrutinib in symptomatic WM. While overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) end-points are still to be reached, demonstrating the good prognosis of this disease, toxicities and response rates are much better with zanubrutinib. This is a cat-1 indication oof NCCN and a compelling option for use in this population.

Lenalidomide plus rituximab for the initial treatment of frail older patients with DLBCL: the FIL_ReRi phase 2 study

October 1, 2023

There are too many options for DLBCL now with monoclonal antibodies, bispecific and CAR-T therapy, but in frail patients, this might be an option. Tafatistamab with lenalidomide had higher ORR (55vs 50) and CR( 37 vs 27%) but this is comparing different trials, and this trial had mostly elderly pts, I do feel tafatistamab is fairly well tolerated though. But when in doubt this seems to be a fair option.
