Trial design

Chemotherapy alone (ABVD) for low-risk patients (defined by low MTV and negative PET-2) versus combined modality treatment (chemotherapy + INRT) plus Nivolumab for high-risk patients (defined by positive PET-2 and/or high baseline MTV). Additionally, delayed INRT 'on demand' plus Nivolumab maintenance is specified for rescue of patients with 'limited relapse'. No specific drug doses or schedules for the comparator arms are stated in the available data.-controlled, adaptive Phase II trial across 36 sites in Italy, Spain, Poland.

Comparator
Chemotherapy alone (ABVD) for low-risk patients (defined by low MTV and negative PET-2) versus combined modality treatment (chemotherapy + INRT) plus Nivolumab for high-risk patients (defined by positive PET-2 and/or high baseline MTV). Additionally, delayed INRT 'on demand' plus Nivolumab maintenance is specified for rescue of patients with 'limited relapse'. No specific drug doses or schedules for the comparator arms are stated in the available data.
Adaptive
True, treatment is risk-adapted based on interim PET-2 result and baseline Metabolic Tumor Volume (MTV): low-risk patients receive chemotherapy alone, high-risk patients receive combined modality treatment plus Nivolumab; rescue strategy includes delayed INRT 'on demand' and Nivolumab maintenance for limited relapse.
Biomarker Stratified
True, PET-2 result (negative vs positive) and baseline Metabolic Tumor Volume (MTV) (low vs high)

Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- To evaluate the overall efficacy in terms of 3-Y PFS equal or superior to 90% , defined as the time from registration until first occurrence of disease progression or relapse, or death for any reason of chemotherapy alone in non-bulky stage I-IIA Hodgkin Lymphoma (eHL), patients with a very low risk of treatment failure, as defined by both a low Metabolic Tumor Volume (MTV) and a negative interim PET after 2 ABVD cycle (PET-2).","definition_or_measurement_approach":"3-Y PFS defined as time from registration until first occurrence of disease progression or relapse, or death for any reason; threshold of interest is PFS at 3 years (>= 90%) in the specified low-risk population."}

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- To explore the efficacy in terms of 3-Y PFS defined as the time from registration until first occurrence of disease progression or relapse, or death for any reason of CMT plus Nivolumab in high-risk eHL, defined either by a positive PET-2 or a high baseline MTV or both.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"3-Y PFS defined as time from registration until progression, relapse, or death; measured in high-risk group (positive PET-2 and/or high baseline MTV) receiving combined modality treatment plus Nivolumab."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- To evaluate the efficacy, in terms of three-year freedom from second treatment Failure (3-Y FF2TF), measured from the date of registration to the date of second relapse after radiotherapy “on demand” to rescue patients relapsed after CT alone with the pattern of “limited relapse” for the entire group (relapsed and non-relapsed) of low-risk patients (with low MTV and negative PET2).","definition_or_measurement_approach":"3-Y FF2TF measured from registration to date of second relapse after rescue radiotherapy; assesses absence of second treatment failure at 3 years for the specified group."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- To evaluate the safety, in terms of 3-Y OS, defined as the time from enrollment until death for any reason of the delayed radiotherapy (RT ,,on demand”) followe by Nivolumab maintenance in rescuing patients who relapsed after chemotherapy alone with the pattern of ,,limited relapse”.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"3-Y overall survival defined as time from enrollment until death from any cause; applied to patients receiving delayed RT on demand followed by Nivolumab maintenance as rescue."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Overall accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value and positive predictive value of cell-free DNA to detect an impending relapse during follow-up of patients treated with chemotherapy alone","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Diagnostic performance metrics (accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, NPV, PPV) of cfDNA assay to detect impending relapse during follow-up in patients treated with chemotherapy alone."}
