- Brief Summary
This phase III trial compares the effects of nivolumab with chemo-immunotherapy versus chemo-immunotherapy alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Treatment for PMBCL involves chemotherapy combined with an immunotherapy called rituximab. Chemotherapy drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody. It binds to a protein called CD20, which is found on B cells (a type of white blood cell) and some types of cancer cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Giving nivolumab with chemo-immunotherapy may help treat patients with PMBCL.
- Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine if nivolumab + chemo-immunotherapy results in a superior long term progression-free survival (PFS) (events defined as disease progression confirmed by central review or death) when compared with chemo-immunotherapy alone in patients with newly diagnosed primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To compare the rates of "efficacy-related event-free survival (EFS)" (eEFS) (events defined as progression, change in therapy due to finding that led to concern about efficacy, biopsy + disease after 6 cycles of therapy, or death) between chemo-immunotherapy alone and chemo-immunotherapy + nivolumab in patients with newly diagnosed PMBCL.
II. To compare the rates of "therapy-related EFS" (tEFS) (events defined as relapse/progression, change in therapy for any reason, biopsy + disease after 6 cycles of therapy, secondary malignancy \[SMN\] or death) between chemo-immunotherapy alone and chemo-immunotherapy + nivolumab in patients with newly diagnosed PMBCL.
III. To compare the rates of overall survival (OS) between chemo-immunotherapy alone and chemo-immunotherapy + nivolumab in patients with newly diagnosed PMBCL.
IV. To establish the rate of a positive positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT) (defined as Deauville score 4 or 5) at the completion of 6 cycles of nivolumab + rituximab (R)- cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP)/dose-adjusted (DA)-etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin (EPOCH)-R and R-CHOP/DA-EPOCH-R in patients with newly diagnosed PMBCL and evaluate the prognostic significance of such a finding.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To bank radiology images for further studies. II. To bank specimens for future correlative studies. III. Characterize the immune profile of patients treated with nivolumab + chemo-immunotherapy to identify markers predictive of response.
IV. Define the rate of complete response at the completion of initial planned therapy.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomly assigned to backbone therapy or backbone therapy + nivolumab within each of 6 strata. The strata are determined by physician's choice of backbone (DA-EPOCH-R versus \[vs.\] R-CHOP vs. R-CHOP + RT) and whether or not the patient had 1 prior cycle of therapy.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Progression-free survival (PFS) From enrollment on the study to first occurrence of relapse/progression or death, assessed up to 7 years The primary analysis will be a one-sided Log-rank test stratified by choice of backbone and radiation therapy and whether the patient had a cycle of therapy prior to enrolling.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Efficacy-related event-free survival Up to 7 years Will be analyzed using a one-sided stratified Log-rank test at alpha = 0.05 or 0.025, as appropriate, with events defined as progression, change in therapy due to a finding that led to concern about efficacy, biopsy + disease after 6 cycles of therapy, and death.
Therapy-related event-free survival Up to 7 years Will be analyzed using a one-sided stratified Log-rank test at alpha = 0.05 or 0.025, as appropriate, with events defined as progression, change in therapy due to a finding that led to concern about efficacy, biopsy + disease after 6 cycles of therapy, and death.
Overall survival Up to 7 years Will be analyzed using a one-sided stratified Log-rank test at alpha = 0.05 or 0.025, as appropriate, with events defined as only death.
Proportion of positive positron emission tomography (PET) scans Up to 6 cycle (1 cycle = 21 days) Will be analyzed descriptively with a point estimate and Clopper-Pearson 95% confidence interval in the trial overall and in each treatment arm separately. The prognostic significance of positive PET after 6 cycles of therapy will be evaluated using a Cox proportional hazards regression on PFS with PET result (positive versus \[vs.\] negative), choice of backbone (rituximab \[R\]-cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone \[CHOP\] + radiation therapy \[RT\] regardless of end-of-therapy imaging vs. R-CHOP without RT unless biopsy positive at end-of-therapy vs. dose-adjusted \[DA\]-etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin \[EPOCH\]-R without RT unless biopsy positive at end of therapy), and assignment to nivolumab (yes vs. no) as covariates.
