STEM CELL TRANSPLANT FOR HODGKIN LYMPHOMA AFTER NIVOLUMAB
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests a stem cell transplant using your own cells for children and teens with Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back or not gotten better after multiple treatments. It involves using a medicine called nivolumab before the transplant to help your body fight the cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Hodgkin lymphoma, confirmed by a biopsy or special scans.
- Your lymphoma has come back or not improved despite treatment.
- You've already tried more than 2 different cancer treatments.
- You are generally well enough to be active at least half the day (Karnofsky score 60 or higher).
- You do not have HIV, active hepatitis B or C, another cancer, or a serious health problem that would make the transplant unsafe.

This study tests a combination of the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab with a chemotherapy regimen called GVD for patients whose Hodgkin's lymphoma has not responded or has returned after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard approaches.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether pembrolizumab plus brentuximab works better than standard chemotherapy followed by an autologous stem cell transplant for people whose classic Hodgkin lymphoma has come back or did not respond. It may help by improving cancer control before and around stem cell transplant and by comparing outcomes between the two treatment approaches.
This trial tests whether a PD-1 inhibitor (a type of immunotherapy) given after an autologous stem cell transplant can help prevent Hodgkin lymphoma from coming back in people at high risk of relapse.
This trial tests whether doing your own stem cell transplant, followed by polatuzumab, can improve outcomes in people with specific B-cell non-Hodgkin or Hodgkin lymphomas that did not fully respond or has come back. It aims to add a targeted medicine after transplant to help control the lymphoma.
This study tests a combination of a newer immunotherapy drug (nivolumab) with standard chemotherapy (AVD) in children, teens, and young adults with newly diagnosed, early-stage Hodgkin lymphoma—a blood cancer affecting lymph nodes. The goal is to see if adding immunotherapy improves outcomes while being tolerable for this age group.
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) to the standard BEAM chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant can help people with relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma. It's for patients who are eligible for a transplant and have stable organ function.
