Brief summary

Nivolumab is an anti-PD-1 antibody highly effective in patients with relapsed/refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma. A PET-adapted regimen of Nivo combined with ICE as first salvage therapy was shown to induce high response rates and favorable progression-free survival as a bridge to autologous stem cell transplantation, allowing to omit salvage chemotherapy in a substantial proportion of r\\r cHL patients. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of PET-adapted treatment of nivolumab at the fixed dose of 40 mg in combination with ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide (NICE-40) in patients with relapsed/refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma.

Interventions

DRUGNivolumab

6 infusions of nivolumab at a fixed dose of 40 mg, 14 days apart, and infusion of nivolumab on day 0 of the NICE-40.

DRUGIfosfamide

5000 mg / m2, 24-hour infusion on day 2 of the NICE-40.

DRUGCarboplatin

Optimized to get AUC = 5 (max. 800 mg) on day 2 of the NICE-40.

DRUGEtoposide

100 mg / m2 intravenously on 1-3 days of the NICE-40.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Frequency of grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events by CTCAE 4.0312 monthsToxicity parameters based on NCI CTCAE 4.03 grades: hematological toxicity (CBC), hepatotoxicity (liver function tests), nephrotoxicity (creatinine), neurotoxicity (attending physician assessment), fatigue (attending physician assessment), rash (attending physician assessment), colitis (attending physician assessment), pneumonitis (attending physician assessment), autoimmune disorders (level of hormones, presence of autoimmune antibodies, attending physician assessment).
Overall Response Rate (ORR)12 monthsOverall response rate (ORR), defined as the proportion of patients with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) in measurable lesions as defined by LYRIC and Lugano 2014 criteria

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Duration of Response (DOR)24 months
Overall Survival (OS)24 months
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)24 months
Progression-Free Survival Rate (Post Autologous Transplant)24 monthsPFS is defined as the duration of time from start of transplant to time of progression or death, whichever occurs first.
Overall Survival (Post Autologous Transplant)24 monthsOS is defined as the duration of time from start of transplant to time of death (due to any cause).
