PET-Adapted First-Line Therapy With Nivolumab for Advanced Hodgkin Lymphoma

A Single-Center Pilot Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of First-Line Immunochemotherapy With Nivolumab Guided by Interim PET for Stratification and Hazard Minimization in Patients With Advanced Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (FINISH-HL)

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This is a single-center, open-label, phase 2 pilot study evaluating the efficacy and safety of a response-adapted first-line treatment strategy for patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) and unfavorable prognostic factors. The FINISH protocol (First-line Immuno-chemotherapy Navigated by Interim PET for Stratification and Hazard minimization In Hodgkin lymphoma) integrates nivolumab into induction therapy and tailors subsequent treatment based on interim PET-CT response. The study also includes exploratory monitoring of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to investigate its role in early response assessment and residual disease detection.

  • Severe pneumonia with respiratory failure or hypoxemia not corrected within 2-3 days
  • Life-threatening bleeding events (e.g., gastrointestinal or cerebral hemorrhage)
  • Decompensated diabetes mellitus
  • Any somatic or psychiatric condition that, in the investigator's judgment, precludes informed consent or study participation

Lab values

  • Sepsis or hemodynamic instability

Who the study is looking for

  • Age between 18 and 60 years (inclusive)
  • ECOG performance status 0-2
  • PET-CT performed at baseline
  • No prior chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy for lymphoma
  • Adequate organ function, including:
  • Serum creatinine ≤ 0.2 mmol/L
