Radioactive antibody combo aims to beat back tough hodgkin lymphoma

NCT ID NCT04871607

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a new approach for people with Hodgkin lymphoma that has not responded to treatment or has come back. It combines a radioactive antibody (yttrium-90 labeled anti-CD25) with standard BEAM chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see if this combination can improve how long people stay cancer-free. The study plans to enroll 33 participants.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Yttrium-90 labeled anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody (basiliximab) combined with BEAM chemotherapy (carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, melphalan)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could improve the chance of long-term remission for people with Hodgkin lymphoma that has not responded to or returned after standard treatment.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial (33 people) with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The treatment includes high-dose chemo and radiation, which can cause serious side effects like infections and organ damage.
