Phase 2 Pembrolizumab with BEAM for Relapsed Hodgkin Lymphoma

This study is testing a treatment plan for people with classic Hodgkin Lymphoma that has returned (relapsed). It combines a drug called Pembrolizumab with a chemotherapy regimen called BEAM (Carmustine, Etoposide, Cytarabine) and an autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT), where your own healthy stem cells are given back to you. You would receive Pembrolizumab before the transplant and then continue it for one year afterward. The main goal is to see how long people live without their cancer getting worse (progression-free survival) for one year after the transplant. To join, you must be eligible for an ASCT with BEAM, have good overall health, and adequate organ function. The study plans to enroll 28 participants.

Study design
This is a Phase 2 study, meaning it's an early-stage study to see if a new treatment is safe and effective. It is a single-arm study, so all 28 participants will receive the same treatment.
What's involved
You would receive Pembrolizumab infusions before and after your stem cell transplant, along with chemotherapy. The stem cell transplant itself involves an infusion of your own cells. This treatment continues for one year after the transplant.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The main outcome is measured at one year after the autologous stem cell transplant.

Exceptions: Participants with vitiligo, resolved childhood asthma or atopy, hypothyroidism, or Sjogren's syndrome, as well as participants requiring only intranasal steroids, intermittent use of bronchodilators, local steroid injections, or physiologic replacement doses of prednisone (≤ 10 mg/d) may enroll.
Has had an allogenic tissue/solid organ transplant.
Pregnant or breastfeeding as agents used in this study are Pregnancy Category D (positive evidence of risk). Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test (serum or urine) within 14 days of study registration
  • Progression free survival (PFS)Baseline to 1 year post-ASCT

    Number of participants with progression free survival at 1 year post transplant. Time from date of study enrollment to date of first documented progression, or death. Patients who do not progress or die at the time of analysis will be censored at their last known date alive.
