Odronextamab: a bispecific antibody for follicular lymphoma

A newly approved antibody therapy offers follicular lymphoma patients a chemo-free treatment option with strong response rates in early trials.

This review synthesizes the clinical development of odronextamab, a CD20xCD3 bispecific antibody recently approved by the EMA for relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma based on ELM-1 and ELM-2 trial data. Ongoing Phase III OLYMPIA studies are evaluating its use in earlier treatment lines and combinations, positioning it among emerging chemo-free options alongside mosunetuzumab and epcoritamab.
