Brentuximab Vedotin Combined With AVD Chemotherapy in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Early Stage, Unfavorable Risk Hodgkin Lymphoma

Not Applicable
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Hodgkin Lymphoma
Interventions
Radiation: Involved-Site Radiation Therapy (ISRT)
Procedure: Interim PET
Radiation: consolidation volume RT (CVRT)
Registration Number
NCT01868451
Lead Sponsor
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the outcomes across the 4 different treatment groups. The investigators hope that this treatment will improve the ability to cure more patients with HL and also limit the long-term side effects from the treatment. Although eliminating radiation in cohort 4 will eliminate the risk for long-term side effects from radiation, it is also possible that with BV+AVD chemotherapy alone there may be an increased risk of the Hodgkin lymphoma coming back after initial treatment.

Cohort 4Vinblastine SulfatePatients will have early stage, unfavorable risk classical Hodgkin lymphoma with disease bulk defined as the presence of any lymph node mass with transverse maximal diameter \> 7.0 cm or coronal maximal diameter \> 7.0 cm. In this cohort. Pts will receive 4 cycles of brentuximab vedotin \& AVD chemo. Brentuximab vedotin, 1.2 mg/kg, will be administered on days 1 \& 15 of each 28 day cycle. Doxorubicin 25 mg/m2, Vinblastine 6 mg/m2, \& Dacarbazine 375 mg/m2 will be administered on days 1 \& 15 of each 28 day cycle. Pts whose PET scan is negative after 4 cycles of brentuximab vedotin \& AVD chemotherapy will not receive RT. Pts whose PET scan is positive after 4 cycles of brentuximab vedotin \& AVD chemo, but subsequent biopsy is neg, will also receive no RT. Upon MSK PI approval, if the simulation can't be covered by the institution or the pts insurance, a diagnostic IV contrast CT neck \& diagnostic IV contrast CT CAP scan will be done in addition to the FDG-PET done after 4 cycles of chemo.
