Combination treatment for patients with relapsed classical Hodgkin lymphoma who can't undergo transplant

A Randomized, Open-label, Phase 2 Trial of Chidamide+Decitabine Plus Anti- PD-1 Antibody for Patients With R/R cHL Who Are Transplant-ineligible or Refused Transplant

Phase 2 Interventional Chinese PLA General Hospital · NCT06393361

This study is testing a new combination treatment for patients with relapsed classical Hodgkin lymphoma who can't have a transplant to see if it helps them live longer without their cancer getting worse.

What this trial studies

This open-label, randomized phase 2 study evaluates the efficacy of Chidamide combined with Decitabine and an Anti-PD-1 antibody versus Brentuximab Vedotin combined with an Anti-PD-1 antibody in patients with relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) who are ineligible for or have refused transplantation. The primary objective is to assess progression-free survival, while secondary endpoints include complete response rate, objective response rate, and safety. The study aims to provide a new treatment option for patients with poor prognosis due to their transplant status.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 75 with histologically confirmed classical Hodgkin lymphoma who have received at least two lines of antitumor therapy and are either transplant-ineligible or have refused transplant.

Not a fit: Patients who have previously received the combination therapies being tested or those with autoimmune diseases may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve outcomes for patients with relapsed classical Hodgkin lymphoma who are not candidates for transplantation.

How similar studies have performed: While there have been various treatment approaches for classical Hodgkin lymphoma, this specific combination therapy is novel and has not been extensively tested in this patient population.
