• Patient has no known active SARS-CoV-2 infection. If a subject has signs/symptoms suggestive of SARS-CoV-2 infection, the patient must have a negative molecular (eg, PCR) test or 2 negative antigen test results at least 24 hours apart.
• Note: SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic tests should be applied following local requirements/recommendations. Patients who do not meet SARS-CoV-2 infection eligibility criteria must be screen-failed and may only rescreen if the following have been met:
• At least 10 days since first positive test result have passed in asymptomatic patients or at least 10 days since recovery, defined as resolution of fever without use of antipyretics and improvement in symptoms.
• Patients with severe chronic pulmonary disease, or other serious medical condition which is likely to significantly impair the patient's ability to tolerate the study treatment.

This is how the treatment is meant to work. Whether it helps, and how safe it is, is what this trial is testing.

epcoritamab-bysp. A bispecific monoclonal antibody, with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities. Epcoritamab-bysp contains two antigen-recognition sites: one for human CD3, a T-cell surface antigen, and one for human CD20, a tumor-associated antigen (TAA) that is exclusively expressed on B cells during most stages of B-cell development and is often overexpressed in B-cell malignancies. Upon administration, epcoritamab-bysp binds to both T cells and CD20-expressing B-lineage tumor cells. The resulting cross-linkage may trigger a potent cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response against the CD20-expressing tumor B cells. NCI Drug Dictionary

loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl. An antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) consisting of an anti-CD19 humanized monoclonal antibody conjugated, via a cleavable linker comprised of valine-alanine and maleimide, to a cytotoxic, cross-linking agent pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) dimer, which targets DNA minor grooves, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, the monoclonal antibody portion of loncastuximab tesirine targets the cell surface antigen CD19 on various cancer cells. Upon antibody/antigen binding and internalization, the cytotoxic PBD moiety is released. The imine groups of the PBD moiety bind to the N2 positions of guanines on opposite strands of DNA. This induces interstrand cross-links in the minor groove of DNA and inhibits DNA replication, which inhibits the proliferation of CD19-overexpressing tumor cells. CD19, a transmembrane receptor and tumor-associated antigen (TAA), is expressed on a number of B-cell-derived cancers. NCI Drug Dictionary
