Pilot study of abbreviated chemotherapy based on early positron emission tomography in Hodgkin lymphoma
Study Status
Open to Enrollment
Study Description
The purpose of this study is to determine the progression-free survival at 36 months for patients with Hodgkin lymphoma who achieve a response, as demonstrated by a negative PET scan, after one cycle of ABVD chemotherapy.
Patients will be treated with ABVD (adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine and dacarbazine) on Days 1 and 15 of each cycle according to standard treatment guidelines.
Patients whose PET scans are negative after one cycle of treatment will receive two more cycles (for a total of three cycles) of chemotherapy. Treatment cycles will be repeated every 28 days. Patients continuing on study will be evaluated for response after Cycle 1 and after completion of treatment.
Patients whose PET scans are positive after one cycle of treatment will go off study and continue therapy as per their primary treating physician.
