Learning objective: After reading this article, learners will be able to cite a new clinical development in relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma.


On February 23, 2026, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) announced the recommendation of epcoritamab, an immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) bispecific antibody, for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL) after ≥2 lines of systemic therapy, if epcoritamab is stopped after 3 years of treatment or earlier if the lymphoma progresses.1 

This recommendation is based on the results of the phase II EPCORE NHL-1 study (NCT03625037),1 which have previously been reported by the Lymphoma Hub. Of 128 patients with R/R FL enrolled in the study, the overall response rate (ORR) was 82.0%, with a complete response (CR) rate of 62.5%.2 The most common Grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) was neutropenia (25%).2 Grade 1–2 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) was reported in 65% of patients, and Grade 3 CRS was reported in 2% of patients.2 Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome was reported in 6% of patients.2
