Recruiting PHASE1 Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

New treatment option for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Official title Study of Cytokine Release Syndrome Prophylaxis and Treatment With Siltuximab Prior to Epcoritamab

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06447376

What this study is testing

What is Siltuximab?

Siltuximab is an investigational medicine, given as an injection under the skin, being studied as a potential treatment for non-hodgkin lymphoma.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The goal of this clinical trial is to is to determine the safety, feasibility and efficacy of siltuximab prophylaxis of cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity occurring after epcoritamab subcutaneous administration for participants with large b-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or follicular lymphoma (FL). Participants will receive siltuximab, prior to the injection of epcoritamab.
