The ELM-2 trial studied odronextamab, a CD20×CD3 bispecific antibody, in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma. The objective response rate was 80.5%, the complete response rate was 73.4%, and the median progression-free survival was 20.7 months.

Dr. Chong described the safety as “generally manageable.” About half (56.7%) of patients experienced cytokine release syndrome (CRS); 45% had grade 1 CRS, 10% had grade 2 CRS, and one patient had grade 3 CRS. Infection occurred in about 80% of patients.

“There are high response and complete response rates in the relapsed or refractory population,” Dr. Chong said. “We’re certainly on to a good treatment for the future, and this trial provides a good setting for further investigation of odronextamab.”
