Consolidation PET-based and Donor-based After Salvage Therapy in Patients With HL in Relapse or Refractory

Terminated
Conditions
Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Registration Number
NCT00879528
Lead Sponsor
Fondazione Italiana Linfomi - ETS
Brief Summary

PET-based consolidation and donor-based therapy after rescue in patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma refractory at first line therapy, or relapse early or late, undergone a second line chemotherapy.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective observational study in which patients with positive PET scan after salvage therapy are candidates to a sequential scheme "auto-allotransplantation" in case of availability of a donor . In the event of unavailability of a donor , the same patients are candidates for a double high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell support.
