Brief Summary:
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.
Detailed Description:
The FINISH study (First-line Immuno-chemotherapy Navigated by Interim PET for Stratification and Hazard minimization In Hodgkin lymphoma) is designed to evaluate a novel personalized treatment strategy for newly diagnosed patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) and advanced-stage or bulky disease. All participants receive initial immunochemotherapy with nivolumab plus EACOPD-14. Treatment is then adapted based on interim PET-CT after two cycles. Patients with a complete metabolic response (Deauville score 1-3) receive de-escalated consolidation with Nivo-AVD followed by nivolumab monotherapy. Patients with inadequate metabolic response undergo continued or intensified therapy based on further PET response.
In addition to clinical and imaging-based endpoints, the study incorporates exploratory monitoring of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) at predefined time points. This includes analysis of ctDNA kinetics and correlation with PET response, aiming to develop a molecular framework for response stratification and early detection of residual disease.
The primary goal is to increase treatment efficacy while minimizing long-term toxicity through PET-guided de-escalation and early immunotherapy integration. Safety, feasibility, and molecular response patterns will be analyzed to inform future trials.
