Comparing JS004 and Toripalimab to Chemotherapy for Hodgkin Lymphoma

A Phase III, Randomised, Open-label,, Multi-Center Clinical Study Comparing JS004 Plus Toripalimab With Investigator-Selected Chemotherapy in Patients With PD-(L)1 Monoclonal Antibody Refractory Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL)

Phase 3 Interventional Shanghai Junshi Bioscience Co., Ltd. · NCT06170489

This study is testing if a new combination of JS004 and Toripalimab can work better than regular chemotherapy for people with Hodgkin lymphoma who haven't responded to previous treatments.

What this trial studies

This phase III clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of JS004 combined with Toripalimab against investigator-selected chemotherapy in patients with classic Hodgkin lymphoma who are refractory to PD-(L)1 monoclonal antibodies. The study is randomized and open-label, focusing on patients who have either relapsed or refractory disease after standard treatments. It will assess both the efficacy and safety of the combination therapy compared to traditional chemotherapy options.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with pathologically confirmed classic Hodgkin lymphoma who have not responded to previous PD-(L)1 monoclonal antibody treatments.

Not a fit: Patients with known allergies to the investigational drugs, CNS metastasis, or active autoimmune diseases may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new effective option for patients with refractory classic Hodgkin lymphoma.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using combination therapies for Hodgkin lymphoma, but this specific combination is being evaluated for the first time.
