Epcoritamab (Epcor)-Containing Combination Salvage Therapy Followed by ASCT & Epcor Consolidation in Patients With Relapsed LBCL
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate clinical efficacy of incorporating Epcoritamab into the salvage treatment routine for relapsed-refractory aggressive B-cell lymphoma, followed by autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) and consolidation Epcoritamab. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Will the addition of epcoritamab to intensive salvage chemotherapy be safe and increase the proportion of patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) large B-cell lymphoma who achieve a complete remission prior to planned transplant?
Is consolidation epcoritamab after ASCT deliverable and safe?
Will consolidation epcoritamab will result in improved clearance of molecularly detectable residual disease?
Will the combination of pre- and post-ASCT epcoritamab lead to higher rates of progression-free survival (PFS) and event free survival (EFS) at 12 months compared to historical estimates in this population.

Participants will undergo three phases in this trial:

Epcoritamab-Salvage treatment: consists of 3 cycles of R-DHAOx (rituximab, dexamethasone, cytarabine, oxaliplatin) plus Epcoritamab
ASCT: Pre-autograft eligibility assessment for ASCT will be performed according to local practice. ASCT may be administered at local referring centre and will follow local standard operative procedures.
Consolidation treatment: consists of six 28-day cycles of subcutaneous Epcoritamab, commencing 6 - 12 weeks post ASCT.
