Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the addition of Bortezomib (Velcade) to IGEV combination (Ifosfamide, Gemcitabine and Vinorelbine) in patients with relapsed/refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma increases the rate of complete remission (PET negativity) at transplantation.
Interventions
Ifosfamide 2000 mg/sqm, day 1-4 (plus MESNA); Gemcitabine 800 mg/sqm, day 1 and 4; Vinorelbine 20 mg/sqm, day 1; Prednisone 100 mg, day 1-4; G-CSF 1 vial sc, day 7-12 of each 21-day course.
Bortezomib 1,3 mg/sqm, day 1, 4, 8; Ifosfamide 2000 mg/sqm, day 1-4 (plus MESNA); Gemcitabine 800 mg/sqm, day 1 and 4; Vinorelbine 20 mg/sqm, day 1; Prednisone 100 mg, day 1-4; G-CSF 1 vial sc, day 7-12 of each 21-day course.
