Merck's Zilovertamab Vedotin Shows Promising Results in Phase 2 Trial for Relapsed/Refractory DLBCL at 2025 ASCO Meeting

Merck & Co. Inc. unveiled promising results from the Phase 2 portion of the waveLINE-003 trial involving their investigational drug zilovertamab vedotin. Administered at a dose of 1.75 mg/kg in combination with rituximab, gemcitabine, and oxaliplatin, the treatment demonstrated significant antitumor activity and a complete response rate in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Dr. Gregory Lubiniecki from Merck Research Laboratories highlighted the manageable safety profile and potential of this ROR1-directed antibody-drug conjugate to treat multiple hematologic malignancies. Dr. Philippe Armand of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute noted the encouraging outcomes for patients, emphasizing the need for additional treatment options for those with relapsed/refractory DLBCL. The trial's success supports further research, with the Phase 3 portion already underway.
