Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma
Conditions
Brief 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).
Interventions
Pembrolizumab (200mg) alone or in combination with ICE (or DHAP in case of PET positive findings after P-ICE) will be admistered. 6 additional courses of pembrolizumab will be administered after the completion P-ICE or P-DHAP
