Brief summary

Patients in this prospective multicenter phase II study will be randomized between two first-line therapy strategies for advanced stages of cHL. In the Nivo-AVD cohort, patients will receive 2 cycles of nivolumab monotherapy followed by a switch to Nivo-AVD combination therapy (total of 6 cycles); in the Standard cohort, patients will receive therapy according to current clinical guidelines in Russian Federation for first-line therapy of cHL, which include starting first-line therapy with 2 cycles of BEACOPP-like regimens and, after assessing response after 2 courses, switching to A(B)VD or continuing with BEACOPP-like regimens

Interventions

DRUGNivo-AVD

1. Monotherapy phase - Nivolumab - 40 mg every 14 days x 2 cycles 2. Combination therapy phase - Nivo-AVD x 6 cycles Nivolumab - 40 mg every 14 days; Doxorubicin 25 mg/m2 in D1 and 15; Vinblastine 6 mg/m2 (no more than 10 mg) in D 1 and 15; Dacarbazine 375 mg/m2 in D 1 and 15;

DRUGBEACOPP-like

* BEACOPP-like regimens x 2 cycles + BEACOPP-like regimens x 4 (for patients with PR, SD by PET/CT after 2 cycles) * BEACOPP-like regimens x 2 + A(B)VD x 4 cycles (for patients with CR by PET/CT after 2 cycles)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of adverse eventsUp to 24 months from thetreatment startTo compare the safety of therapy use in the Nivo-AVD and Standard cohorts: analysis of the incidence, severity and spectrum of adverse events (according to CTCAE v5.0 criteria)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression-free survival12, 24 and 36 months after completion of therapyTo compare progression-free survival in the Nivo-AVD and Standard cohorts
Response ratesafter 2 cycles of nivo and 2 cycles of Nivo-AVD (3 months from therapy initiation) and at the end of treatment (7 months from therapy initiation) and, in Standard cohorts, after 2 cycles and EOT of BEACOPPesc (2 and 6 months)To compare the rates of objective response, complete and partial responses after 2 and 6 courses of therapy in the Nivo-AVD and Standard cohorts by whole-body PET-CT (according to Lugano criteria for chemotherapy and LYRIC criteria for immunochemotherapy)
Overall survival12, 24, and 36 months after completion of therapy\- To compare overall survival at 12, 24, and 36 months after completion of therapy in the Nivo-AVD and Standard cohorts.
