Very Early FDG-PET/CT-response Adapted Therapy for Advanced Hodgkin Lymphoma (H11)

Phase 3
Withdrawn
Conditions
Hodgkin Lymphoma
Interventions
Drug: ABVD + FDG-PET/CT Scan treatment adaptation
Drug: BEACOPPesc
Registration Number
NCT01652261
Lead Sponsor
European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - EORTC
Brief Summary

The main objective of the trial is to show that doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD)-based response-adapted therapy for advanced-stage Hodgkin lymphoma, with treatment intensification (bleomycin, etoposide, adriamycin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone (BEACOPPesc) in case of a positive fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) computed tomography (CT) after one cycle of ABVD, has non-inferior efficacy compared with the intensive BEACOPPesc regimen. A second objective is to assess the prognostic value of FDG-PET/CT after one cycle of BEACOPPesc.

experimental armABVD + FDG-PET/CT Scan treatment adaptationAn experimental arm (early FDG-PET/CT-response adapted), where all patients are initially treated with a single cycle of ABVD. Very early FDG-PET/CT-negative patients continue on ABVD therapy to a total of six cycles. Very early FDG-PET/CT-positive patients receive 3 cycles of BEACOPPesc followed by another 3 cycles of BEACOPPesc. Mid-treatment evaluation is performed after 4 cycles. In case of treatment failure (less than partial remission (PR)), the patient goes off protocol treatment. Only patients with residual FDG-PET/CT-positive disease after chemotherapy will receive radiotherapy (36 Gy/18 fractions on the FDG-PET/CT-positive residual mass(es)).

standard armBEACOPPescA standard arm, where patients are treated with four cycles of BEACOPPesc followed by 2 cycles of BEACOPPesc. FDG-PET/CT is performed after one cycle, but with no therapeutic consequences. Mid-treatment evaluation is performed after four cycles. In case of treatment failure (less than PR), the patient goes off protocol treatment. Only patients with residual FDG-PET/CT-positive disease after chemotherapy will receive radiotherapy (36 Gy/18 fractions on the FDG-PET/CT-positive residual mass(es)).

Progression-free survival9 years after FPI
Long-term toxicity in terms of second malignancies, cardiovascular and pulmonary events9 years after FPI
Acute toxicity9 years after FPI

* Hematological toxicity (blood cell count) can be significant especially for patients who will receive BEACOPPesc .

* Bleomycine interstitial pneumonitis has been frequently reported and requires the immediate stop of further bleomycine administration.

* Rarely, procarbazine allergy and intolerance has been reported.

* Nausea \& vomiting due to cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, dacarbazine and procarbazine may be significant.

* Total reversible alopecia occurs in most cases.

* Escalated BEACOPP-related toxic deaths have been reported but do not exceed those observed with standard ABVD.
