This phase II trial tests how well the combination of epcoritamab and lenalidomide work in treating patients with immunodeficiency-related large B-cell lymphoma that does not respond to treatment (refractory) or that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed). Epcoritamab is an immunotherapy that engages T-cells in the immune system to help redirect their killing effects against lymphoma cells. Lenalidomide can modulate the immune system to enhance killing effects of lymphoma by the immune system as well. Giving patients a combination of epcoritamab and lenalidomide may work better in treating refractory or relapsed immunodeficiency-related large B-cell lymphoma.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To evaluate the six-month best response of complete response (CR) rate for the combination of epcoritamab-lenalidomide in chemotherapy ineligible patients with primary refractory or relapsed immunodeficiency-related large B-cell lymphoma. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the objective response rate (ORR), partial response (PR) and CR rates at 3 (cycle \[C\] 4 day \[D\]1), 6 (C7D1), 12 (30 days post C12), 18 and 24 months for patients on combination epcoritamab-lenalidomide. II. To assess duration of response (DoR) at 6 (C7D1),12 (30 days post D12), 18 and 24 months for patients on combination epcoritamab-lenalidomide. III. To assess progression free survival (PFS) with 12,18 and 24 months of follow-up for patients on combination epcoritamab-lenalidomide. IV. To assess overall survival (OS) with 12, 8 and 24 months of follow-up for patients on combination epcoritamab-lenalidomide. V. To assess the safety and toxicity of combination epcoritamab-lenalidomide. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess changes in immune-cell subsets with utilization of epcoritamab-lenalidomide. II. To evaluate T cell polyfunctionality with the administration of combination epcoritamab-lenalidomide over time. III. To gain more insights into the phenotype and functional state of different circulating immune cell subsets. IV. To measure disease-specific symptoms and/or treatment-related concerns in patients treated with combination therapy using Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Lymphoma (FACTLym) European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) questionnaires. OUTLINE: Patients will receive epcoritamab subcutaneously (SC) weekly during cycle 1 and on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of cycles 2-3, and day 1 of cycles 4-12. Patients will also receive lenalidomide orally (PO) on days 1-21 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 12 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients will undergo positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) and collection of blood samples throughout the study and may undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during screening. After completion of study treatment, patients will be followed up at 30 days, then at 12, 18 and 24 months.

Best response of complete response (CR) rate
The combination of epcoritamab-lenalidomide in chemotherapy ineligible patients with primary refractory or relapsed immunodeficiency-related large B-cell lymphoma, indicated by the number of patients with CR as best response (using the Lugano Criteria) divided by the total number of patients who have received 1 dose of combination therapy and have had response assessment by radiographic imaging by 6 months from start of therapy. The six-month best response of CR rate will be estimated by the number of patients with complete response divided by the total number of patients who have received 1 dose of combination therapy and have had response assessment by radiographic imaging by 6 months from start of therapy. This estimation will be compared with the historical control 35% by Exact Test of one proportion. At the same time, the Blyth-Still-Casella exact binomial 95% confidence interval of this CR rate will be calculated with adjustment.
Time frame: At 6 months
Objective response rate (ORR)
The ORR will be estimated by calculating the proportion of treated subjects who experience an objective response (confirmed CR or confirmed partial response \[PR\] per Lugano Criteria) among all evaluable patients. ORR data will be collected from the initiation of trial therapy (cycle \[C\] 1 day \[D\] 1) until: the response has been confirmed, the subject experiences disease progression, initiates subsequent anti-cancer therapy, or completes study participation (whichever occurs first). The ORR, PR and CR rates for patients on combination epcoritamab-lenalidomide, as well as their corresponding Blyth-Still-Casella exact binomial 95% confidence intervals, will be estimated for each time point at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months.
Time frame: From the initiation of trial therapy until: the response has been confirmed, the subject experiences disease progression, initiates subsequent anti-cancer therapy, or completes study participation. This will be assessed at 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months.
Duration of response (DOR)
The DOR for combination epcoritamab-lenalidomide is defined as the elapses between the day of first documented response to trial therapy (CR or PR, whichever is recorded firstly) and subsequent disease progression (taking as reference for progressive disease the smallest tumor measurements recorded on study per Lugano Criteria), with possible censored at 6, 12, 18, or 24 months for different analysis. By the setting of multiple check and censor time points, the data will be released from cancer center as early as 6 months, which is a routine setting for cellular therapies For DOR analysis, response is defined as CR or PR per the 2014 Lugano Criteria; and disease progression is defined as progressive disease (PD) per the 2014 Lugano Criteria. The median of DOR censored at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months for patients on combination epcoritamab-lenalidomide will be estimated with 95% confidence interval. In addition, the DoRs at different time points will be descrived by Kaplan-Meier curve.
Time frame: The elapses between the day of first documented response to trial therapy (CR or PR, whichever is recorded firstly) and subsequent disease progression, assessed at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months
Progression-free survival (PFS)
PFS data will be collected from initiation of trial therapy (C1D1) until the subject suffers disease progression, initiates subsequent anti-cancer therapy due to disease progression on study regimen, completes study participation, or experiences death from any cause (whichever is sooner). If disease progression or death from any cause is not observed prior to initiating subsequent anti-cancer therapy or completing study participation, the PFS will be censored at 12, 18 or 24 months during follow-up. The median of PFS with 12, 18, and 24 months of follow-up for patients on combination epcoritamab-lenalidomide, and corresponding 95% confidence interval, will be estimated. And the Kaplan-Meier curve will be employed again to visualize PFS.
Time frame: From initiation of trial therapy to PD per the 2014 Lugano Criteria, other documented clinical or radiographical progression per physician judgement, or death due to disease, assessed at 12, 18, and 24 months
Overall survival (OS)
OS data will be collected from initiation of trial therapy (C1D1) until the patient completes study follow up participation, experiences death from any cause or is documented as lost to follow up per institutional standard (whichever is sooner). If death from any cause is not observed prior to completing study participation, the OS will be censored as the time of the last available documentation of survival status. The median of OS with 12, 18, and 24 months of follow-up for patients on combination epcoritamab-lenalidomide, and corresponding 95% confidence interval, will be estimated. And the Kaplan-Meier curve will be employed again to visualize OS.
Time frame: The time that elapses between initiation of trial therapy and the date of death from any cause for all evaluable patients, assessed at 12, 18, or 24 months.
Incidence of adverse events
The toxicity profile of each study drug and combination of study drugs will be assessed. This endpoint will collect and report the frequency of adverse events by type, severity (grade), timing, and attribution to one or both, according to the National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0.
Time frame: Up to 24 months
