Patients diagnosed with central nervous system (CNS) disease who achieved and maintained CNS complete response (CR) at the time of relapse are eligible. Lumbar puncture must be done in this case prior to study entry (within 90 days of enrollment) to demonstrate CNS CR status. Tests to investigate CNS involvement are required otherwise only if clinically indicated (i.e. disease suspected on basis of symptoms or other findings) * Receiving any other investigational treatments * Previous treatment with any bispecific T-cell engager with or without chemotherapy * Treatment with an investigational drug within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to the first dose of epcoritamab * Concurrent use of other anti-cancer agents or treatments except for certain therapeutics (e.g., prostate, breast hormonal-based therapy) per the treating physician's discretion * Standard agents within 2 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, prior to the first dose of epcoritamab (excluding anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies \[mAbs\], which can be administered until first full dose of epcoritamab); or * CAR-T cell therapy within 30 days prior to the first dose of epcoritamab * Palliative radiation is permitted only if on non-target lesions * Motor and sensory neuropathy grade ≥ 2 (CTCAE v.5.0) * Patients with a history of other malignancies, except adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, non-invasive superficial bladder cancer, curatively treated in-situ cancer of the cervix, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast, localized low grade prostate cancer (up to Gleason score 6), or other solid tumors curatively treated with no evidence of disease for at least 3 years * Known active bacterial, viral, fungal, mycobacterial, parasitic, or other infection (excluding fungal infections of nail beds) at trial enrollment or significant infections within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of epcoritamab * Confirmed history or current autoimmune disease or other diseases requiring permanent immunosuppressive therapy.

If a subject has signs/symptoms suggestive of SARS-CoV-2 infection or have had recent known exposure to someone with SARS-CoV-2 infection, the subject must have a negative molecular (e.g., PCR) test, or 2 negative antigen test results at least 24 hours apart, to rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection. Note: SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic tests should be applied following local requirements/recommendations. Subjects who do not meet SARS-CoV-2 infection eligibility criteria must be screen failed and may only rescreen per criteria * Suspected active or inadequately treated latent tuberculosis
