New drug combo after transplant shows promise for tough hodgkin lymphoma
NCT ID NCT03652441
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether giving the drug brentuximab vedotin for up to a year after a stem cell transplant could help control Hodgkin lymphoma that had returned or not responded to treatment. 14 adults took part. The goal was to see if this approach could lower the chance of the cancer coming back. Because patients need lifelong monitoring and possible further treatment, this is a disease control study, not a cure.
