Pembrolizumab in Combination With Salvage Chemotherapy for First-relapsed or Refractory Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma

Phase II Trial of Pembrolizumab in Combination With Salvage Chemotherapy for First-relapsed or Refractory Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma


Sponsor

University of Cologne

Enrollment

29 participants

Start Date

Mar 5, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The aim of this trial is to develop an effective and well-tolerated regimen for treatment of r/r cHL by introducing the anti-PD-1 antibody pembrolizumab and adding it to well-established chemotherapy regimens (ICE, DHAP). Synergistic effects of conventional agents with checkpoint inhibition may facilitate a highly effective therapy with limited toxicity, which might eventually substitute the very toxic high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT).

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether adding pembrolizumab — an immunotherapy drug that helps the immune system fight cancer — to standard salvage chemotherapy improves outcomes for people whose classical Hodgkin lymphoma has relapsed for the first time or did not respond to initial treatment. **You may be eligible if:** - You have classical Hodgkin lymphoma that either returned after your first treatment or never responded to first-line therapy **You may NOT be eligible if:** - You have nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (a different subtype) - You have a composite lymphoma (a mixed type involving more than one lymphoma type) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
