Brentuximab Vedotin Associated With Chemotherapy in Untreated Patients With Hodgkin Lymphoma.

Registration Number
NCT02292979
Lead Sponsor
The Lymphoma Academic Research Organisation
Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of brentuximab vedotin + AVD combination (doxorubicine, vinblastine, dacarbazine) in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma stage I / II with an unfavorable diagnosis, assessed by the negativity of PET (positron emission tomography ) after two cycles of chemotherapy.

Detailed Description

Patients will receive either ABVD chemotherapy (standard treatment = doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine) or the Brentuximab vedotin in combination with chemotherapy AVD (study treatment), depending on randomization. Radiotherapy is planned after chemotherapy or immunochemotherapy.

PET scans will be performed before inclusion, after 2 cycles of chemotherapy and after 4 cycles of chemotherapy (if PET after two cycles was positive), at the end of treatment and during follow-up period.

    • CSII ≥ 4 nodal areas
    • age ≥ 50 yrs

  • ECOG performance status 0-2

  • Life expectancy > 6 months

  • Age 18 to 60 years

  • Availability for periodic blood sampling, study-related assessments, and management of toxicity at the treating institution.

  • Female patients who:

    • Are postmenopausal for at least 1 year before the screening visit, OR are surgically sterile, OR
    • If they are of childbearing potential, agree to practice 2 effective methods of contraception, at the same time, through 6 months after the last dose of study drug, OR agree to completely abstain from heterosexual intercourse
  • Male patients, even if surgically sterilized (ie, status postvasectomy), who:

    o Agree to practice effective barrier contraception during the entire study treatment period and through 6 months after the last dose of study drug, or agree to completely abstain from heterosexual intercourse.

  • Written informed consent.

  • Required baseline laboratory data:

    • Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/µL
    • Platelet count ≥ 75,000/ µL
    • Hemoglobin ≥ 8g/dL
    • Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 X ULN unless the elevation is known to be due to Gilbert syndrome.
    • Serum creatinine ≤ 2.0 mg/dL and/or calculated creatinine clearance > 40 mL/minute (Cockcroft-Gault formula or MDRD)
    • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3 X ULN
Exclusion Criteria
  • Histological diagnosis different from classical Hodgkin Lymphoma. Nodular lymphocyte predominant subtypes (nodular paragranuloma or Poppema paragranuloma) are excluded.

  • Known cerebral or meningeal disease of any etiology, including signs or symptoms of PML

  • Any sensory or motor peripheral neuropathy ≥ Grade 2

  • Treatment with any investigational drug within 30 days before first cycle of treatment
