Topline results from a trial evaluating AbbVie and Genmab's epcoritamab to treat a type of lymphoma demonstrated an improvement in progression-free survival, the companies said.

AbbVie and Genmab said Friday the trial results also showed improvement in patients' complete response rate, duration of response and time to next treatment.

The study didn't demonstrate a statistically significant improvement in overall survival, however, the companies said.

The study enrolled 483 patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with at least one prior line of therapy who were ineligible for high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant.

Further analysis of the results is continuing, the companies said.

Genmab and AbbVie plan to engage with global regulatory authorities to discuss next steps. The data will also be submitted for presentation at a future medical meeting, they said.

"The results from this global trial contribute to the growing body of evidence supporting epcoritamab," Genmab's Chief Executive Jan van de Winkel said.

Epcoritamab has previously received regulatory approval for certain lymphoma indications in more than 65 countries.
