Hodgkin's Disease

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether an investigational immuno-therapy combination, nivolumab with Brentuximab vedotin compared to Brentuximab vedotin alone is safe and effective in the treatment of relapsed and refractory Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma. The participants of this trial will comprise of patients who have relapsed or did not respond to treatment and are not eligible for stem cell transplant

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression Free Survival (PFS)From randomization to date of death, or disease progression (up to approximately 45 months)Progression Free Survival (PFS) is defined as time from date of randomization to death, or disease progression per investigator assessment estimated using the Kaplan-Meier (KM) product-limit method.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Complete Response Rate (CRR):From randomization up to approximately 45 monthsComplete Response Rate (CRR) is defined as the number of participants who have achieved complete response (Lugano 2014 classification) per investigator assessment. Complete response is considered a score of 1, 2, or 3. Per the Lugano criteria: Positron emission tomography (PET) negative scans are defined on the 5-point scale as scores of 1, 2, or 3 (where 1 = no uptake above background; 2 = uptake \</= mediastinum; and 3 = uptake \> mediastinum but \</= liver) and PET-positive scans, as scores of 4 or 5 (where 4 = uptake moderately higher than liver; 5 = uptake markedly higher than liver and/or new lesions). Response on PET scans should be reported as complete metabolic response (CMR) partial metabolic response (PMR), SMD (stable metabolic disease), or PMD (progressive metabolic disease).
Objective Response Rate (ORR)From randomization up to approximately 45 monthsObjective Response Rate (ORR) is defined as the number of participants with a Best Overall Response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) (Lugano 2014 classification) per investigator assessment. Complete response is considered a score of 1, 2, or 3. Partial response is considered a score of 4 or 5. Per the Lugano criteria: Positron emission tomography (PET) negative scans are defined on the 5-point scale as scores of 1, 2, or 3 (where 1 = no uptake above background; 2 = uptake \</= mediastinum; and 3 = uptake \> mediastinum but \</= liver) and PET-positive scans, as scores of 4 or 5 (where 4 = uptake moderately higher than liver; 5 = uptake markedly higher than liver and/or new lesions). Response on PET scans should be reported as complete metabolic response (CMR) partial metabolic response (PMR), SMD (stable metabolic disease), or PMD (progressive metabolic disease).
Duration of Response (DOR)From randomization to date of documented progression or death (up to approximately 45 months)The time from first response (Complete response (CR) or partial response (PR)) to the date of initial objectively documented progression (2014 Lugano classification) or death due to any cause per investigator assessment estimated using the Kaplan-Meier (KM) product-limit method. Complete response is considered a score of 1, 2, or 3. Partial response is considered a score of 4 or 5. Per the Lugano criteria: Positron emission tomography (PET) negative scans are defined on the 5-point scale as scores of 1, 2, or 3 (where 1 = no uptake above background; 2 = uptake \</= mediastinum; and 3 = uptake \> mediastinum but \</= liver) and PET-positive scans, as scores of 4 or 5 (where 4 = uptake moderately higher than liver; 5 = uptake markedly higher than liver and/or new lesions). Response on PET scans should be reported as complete metabolic response (CMR) partial metabolic response (PMR), SMD (stable metabolic disease), or PMD (progressive metabolic disease).
Duration of Complete Response (DOCR)From randomization to date of documented progression or death (up to approximately 45 months)Duration of complete response (DOR) is defined as the time from first complete response to the date of initial objectively documented progression (2014 Lugano classification) or death due to any cause per investigator assessment estimated using the Kaplan-Meier (KM) product-limit method.
