Brief summary
The main objective of the trial is to show that doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD)-based response-adapted therapy for advanced-stage Hodgkin lymphoma, with treatment intensification (bleomycin, etoposide, adriamycin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone (BEACOPPesc) in case of a positive fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) computed tomography (CT) after one cycle of ABVD, has non-inferior efficacy compared with the intensive BEACOPPesc regimen. A second objective is to assess the prognostic value of FDG-PET/CT after one cycle of BEACOPPesc.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Previously untreated, histologically proven classical Hodgkin lymphoma * Clinical stages III/IV (Ann Arbor) * Age 18-60 * WHO performance 0-2 * Adequate organ function * Patients of childbearing/reproductive potential should use adequate birth control measures during the whole duration of study treatment. * Written informed consent according to ICH/EU Good Clinical Practice, and national/local regulations
Exclusion criteria
* Pregnancy or lactation * Specific contraindications to BEACOPPesc therapy, including: * Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus * HIV infection, * Chronic active hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C * Concomitant or previous malignancies with the exception of basal cell skin tumors, adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix and any cancer that has been in complete remission for \>5 years * Psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Freedom from treatment failure | 9 years after first patient in (FPI) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| response at the end of therapy | 9 years after FPI | — |
| Progression-free survival | 9 years after FPI | — |
| Overall survival | 9 years after FPI | — |
| Acute toxicity | 9 years after FPI | * Hematological toxicity (blood cell count) can be significant especially for patients who will receive BEACOPPesc . * Bleomycine interstitial pneumonitis has been frequently reported and requires the immediate stop of further bleomycine administration. * Rarely, procarbazine allergy and intolerance has been reported. * Nausea & vomiting due to cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, dacarbazine and procarbazine may be significant. * Total reversible alopecia occurs in most cases. * Escalated BEACOPP-related toxic deaths have been reported but do not exceed those observed with standard ABVD. |
| Long-term toxicity in terms of second malignancies, cardiovascular and pulmonary events | 9 years after FPI | — |
