(RTTNews) - Genmab A/S(GMAB) said that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved EPKINLY (epcoritamab-bysp) for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma or FL after two or more lines of systemic therapy. The indication is approved under accelerated approval based on response rate.

Epcoritamab is being co-developed by Genmab and AbbVie as part of the companies' oncology collaboration. The companies will share commercial responsibilities in the U.S. and Japan, with AbbVie responsible for further global commercialization.
