Pharmacology
Epcoritamab-bysp is a bispecific CD20-directed CD3 T-cell engager (humanized IgG1) that simultaneously binds CD3 on T-cells and CD20 on lymphoma and healthy B-lineage cells, activating T-cells, inducing cytokine release, and causing B-cell lysis; in combination with rituximab it also mediates NK cell antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC).
Lenalidomide is an immunomodulatory agent that mediates cellular activities through binding to cereblon, a component of a cullin ring E3 ubiquitin ligase enzyme complex, leading to degradation of substrate proteins and resulting in direct cytotoxic and immunomodulatory effects.
