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.

Inclusion criteria

* Histologic diagnosis of classical, CD30 positive Hodgkin lymphoma confirmed at enrolling institution * FDG-avid disease by FDG-PET/CT and measurable disease of at least 1.5 cm by CT * Ann Arbor Stage I or II disease * Disease bulk defined as any lymph node mass with transverse maximal diameter \> 7.0 cm OR coronal maximal diameter \> 7.0 cm on CT imaging * Females of childbearing age must be on an acceptable form of birth control per institutional standards * Ages 18 and over

Exclusion criteria

* Cardiac ejection fraction ≤ 50% * Hemoglobin-adjusted diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide \< 40% * ANC≤1000/μl and Platelets≤75,000/μl * Total bilirubin ≥ 2.0 mg/dl in the absence of a history of Gilbert's disease * Serum creatinine clearance of \<30 mL/min as estimated by the Cockcroft-Gault Method * Known pregnancy or breast-feeding * Known history of testing positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) * Medical illness unrelated to Hodgkin Lymphoma, which, in the opinion of the attending physician and/or MSKCC principal investigator, makes participation in this study inappropriate. * Peripheral neuropathy \> grade 1 * Patients receiving chronic treatment with systemic steroids. However, patients can receive up to 10 days of steroid therapy prior to starting treatment with BV+AVD.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
development of significant pulmonary toxicity1 yearspecifically non-infectious pneumonitis The definition of unacceptable pulmonary toxicity will be defined as the development of grade 2 or higher pneumonitis as defined by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE version 4).
complete responses (all cohorts)1 yearEvaluate the rate of PET-negative complete responses after completion of the treatment program (8 weeks (+/- 2 weeks) after completion of radiotherapy).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Evaluate the prognostic significance1 year(i.e. correlation with progression free survival) of interim fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (PET) in this patient population measured by visual analysis and semi-quantitative analysis.
