What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This phase 2 study is testing a risk-adapted approach for children and young adults with classical Hodgkin lymphoma. Depending on their risk level, patients receive different combinations of chemotherapy drugs, with the goal of improving response while reducing side effects. The trial enrolls 232 participants up to age 25 and uses imaging after two cycles to guide further treatment.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
bendamustine, etoposide, doxorubicin, bleomycin, vincristine, vinblastine, prednisone, filgrastim, brentuximab vedotin, cyclophosphamide, dacarbazine
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to more effective and less toxic chemotherapy regimens for children and young adults with Hodgkin lymphoma, improving survival and reducing long-term side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a phase 2 trial, so results are still preliminary. The treatments involve strong chemotherapy drugs with known side effects like infection, nerve damage, and heart problems. Not all patients may respond adequately.

Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically confirmed, previously untreated CD30+ classical HL. (Participants are still eligible if they received limited emergent RT or steroid therapy - maximum of 7 days if within the last month or as approved by PI). * Age ≤ 21 years at the time of diagnosis (i.e., participants are eligible until their 22nd birthday) for low-risk and intermediate-risk * Age ≤ 25 years at the time of diagnosis (i.e., participants are eligible until their 26th birthday) for high-risk * All Ann Arbor stages. * Low-Risk: IA, IIA (excluding patients with "E" lesions or mediastinal bulk) * Intermediate-Risk: IA or IIA with "E" lesions or bulky mediastinal adenopathy (mediastinal mass to thoracic cavity ratio 33% or greater by chest radiograph) and IB, IIIA. * High-Risk: IIB, IIIB, IV * Adequate renal function based on GFR ≥ 70 ml/min/1.73m2 OR serum creatinine adjusted for age and gender as follows: Age 1 to \< 2 years: maximum serum creatinine 0.6 mg/dL for males and 0.6 mg/dL for females, Age 2 to \< 6 years: maximum serum creatinine 0.8 mg/dL for males and 0.8 mg/dL for females, Age 6 to \< 10 years: maximum serum creatinine 1 mg/dL for males and 1 mg/dL for females, Age 10 to \< 13 years: maximum serum creatinine 1.2 mg/dL for males and 1.2 mg/dL for females, Age 13 to \< 16 years: maximum serum creatinine 1.5 mg/dL for males and 1.4 mg/dL for females, Age ≥16 years: maximum serum creatinine 1.7 mg/dL for males and 1.4 mg/dL for females * Adequate hepatic function (total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN for age, and AST/ALT ≤ 2.5 x ULN for age). * Adequate hematologic criteria at baseline, unless secondary to Hodgkin disease diagnosis * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1000/µL * Platelets ≥ 75,000/µL * Adequate cardiac function defined as shortening fraction of ≥ 27% by echocardiogram or MUGA, unless decreased function is due to large mediastinal mass or effusion related to HL. * Adequate pulmonary function defined as no evidence of dyspnea at rest, no exercise intolerance, and a pulse oximetry \> 92% on room air unless secondary to a large mediastinal mass or effusion related to HL. * Female participant who is post-menarchal must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test. * Female or male participant of reproductive potential must agree to use an effective contraceptive method throughout duration of study treatment. Exclusion Criteria: * CD30 negative HL. * Has received prior therapy for Hodgkin lymphoma * Inadequate organ function * High-risk participants with a history of ≥ grade 2 peripheral neuropathy or any active neurologic disease that would impede the ability to assess neurologic toxicities. * Inability or unwillingness of research participant or legal guardian / representative to give written informed consent.
