New drug combo offers hope for older hodgkin lymphoma patients unsuitable for standard chemo

NCT ID NCT02758717

Summary

This study is testing a combination of two immunotherapy drugs, nivolumab and brentuximab vedotin, for older adults or those who cannot tolerate standard chemotherapy for untreated Hodgkin lymphoma. The goal is to see how well this drug combination controls the cancer by helping the immune system attack it and stopping cancer cell growth. Researchers will measure how many patients respond to treatment and how long the response lasts.
