Epkinly

(Epcoritamab)

Phase 3Monoclonal antibody

Epcoritamab is used to treat a type of blood cancer called diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in adult patients who have already tried other treatments. It works by helping the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells.[1] Epkinly is currently being investigated across 28 indications[3], with its most advanced program in Phase 3.[1]

Epkinly is one of 259 bispecific antibody programs targeting Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. It is currently in Phase 3.
