  • Data from 14 abstracts highlight the depth, breadth, and strength of Genmab’s comprehensive epcoritamab development program across multiple patient populations and treatment settings


Genmab A/S (Nasdaq: GMAB) announced today that it will present 14 abstracts evaluating epcoritamab, a T-cell engaging bispecific antibody administered subcutaneously, as a monotherapy and in combination across disease settings in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL) at the 30th European Hematology Association (EHA) Congress, being held in Milan, Italy, and virtually, June 12-15, 2025.

Two oral presentations will feature data from the Phase 1/2 EPCORE® NHL-2 trial evaluating epcoritamab plus rituximab and ifosfamide-carboplatin-etoposide (R-ICE) in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) DLBCL eligible for autologous stem cell transplantation, and the Phase 1/2 EPCORE NHL-5 trial evaluating epcoritamab plus polatuzumab vedotin, rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (pola-R-CHP) in previously-untreated patients with DLBCL. Additionally, results from the Phase 1/2 EPCORE NHL-1 and NHL-3 trials, including three years of follow-up in patients with R/R DLBCL and FL treated with epcoritamab monotherapy, will be presented as a poster.

All abstracts accepted for presentation have been published and may be accessed online via the EHA Open Access Library.

“Together with AbbVie, we have made tremendous progress advancing our broad epcoritamab development program and we are pleased to share important results at EHA 2025 evaluating epcoritamab in a variety of treatment settings and patient populations,” said Dr. Judith Klimovsky, Executive Vice President and Chief Development Officer of Genmab. “The data presented at EHA further reinforce our commitment to epcoritamab and its potential to become a core therapy across B-cell malignancies.”

Several abstracts evaluating epcoritamab will also be presented at the 18th International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma (ICML), taking place June 17-21, 2025, in Lugano, Switzerland.

About Epcoritamab 
Epcoritamab is an IgG1-bispecific antibody created using Genmab's proprietary DuoBody® technology and administered subcutaneously. Genmab's DuoBody-CD3 technology is designed to direct cytotoxic T cells selectively to elicit an immune response toward target cell types. Epcoritamab is designed to simultaneously bind to CD3 on T cells and CD20 on B cells and induces T-cell-mediated killing of CD20+ cells.i
