RADICAL Trial Summary

This trial suggests that adding immunotherapy to existing cancer treatments is safe and effective, especially in reducing exposure to harmful anthracyclines.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children, adolescents, and young adults with specific types of lymphoma (MB-NHL or cHL). Participants must have newly diagnosed disease according to WHO Classification, adequate organ function, and fall into certain risk categories based on the stage of their disease. Those with other forms of lymphoma like follicular or T-cell/histiocyte-rich large B-cell are not eligible.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if adding targeted immunotherapy to standard chemoradiotherapy can reduce anthracycline use while maintaining control over lymphoma in young patients. It involves various treatment groups receiving different combinations of chemotherapy drugs and immunotherapies.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to the immune system's response to therapy, such as inflammation in organs; general symptoms like fatigue; complications from chemotherapy including digestive issues and blood disorders; plus increased infection risk.

RADICAL Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort 2bExperimental Treatment4 Interventions
COHORT IIb (Classical Hodgkin lymphoma, HIGH RISK) Cohort IIb patients will receive 2 cycles of brentuximab vedotin (Bv), doxorubicin, vinblastine, dactinomycin, and rituximab (Bv-AVD-R 1 and 2). Response assessment will be performed with FDG-PET scan after 2 cycles of Bv-AVD-R. Rapid early responders (RER) will continue therapy with 4 cycles of Bv, vinblastine, dactinomycin, nivolumab, and rituximab (Bv-NVD-R 1, 2, 3, and 4). RERs will not receive radiation therapy. Patients deemed to be Slow Early Responders (SER) after 2 cycles of Bv-AVD-R will receive 2 cycles of Bv, nivolumab, doxorubicin, vinblastine, dactinomycin, and rituximab (Bv-NAVD-R 1 and 2), followed by 4 cycles of Bv, vinblastine, dactinomycin, nivolumab, and rituximab (Bv-NVD-R 1, 2, 3, and 4). Radiation therapy will be given at completion of therapy only for SER patients NOT achieving complete remission at the end of chemoimmunotherapy.
Group II: Cohort 2aExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Classical Hodgkin lymphoma, INTERMEDIATE RISK will receive 2 cycles of brentuximab vedotin (Bv), doxorubicin, vinblastine, dactinomycin, and rituximab (Bv-AVD-R 1 and 2). Response assessment with FDG-PET scan after 2 cycles of Bv-AVD-R. Rapid early responders (RER) will continue therapy with 2 cycles of Bv, vinblastine, dactinomycin, nivolumab, and rituximab (Bv-NVD-R 1 and 2). RERs will not receive radiation therapy. Patients deemed to be Slow Early Responders (SER) after 2 cycles of Bv-AVD-R will continue therapy with 4 cycles of Bv-NVD-R (Bv-NVD-R 1, 2, 3, and 4). Radiation therapy will be given at completion of therapy only for SER patients NOT achieving complete remission at the end of chemoimmunotherapy.
Group III: Cohort 1bExperimental Treatment8 Interventions
MB NHL, GROUP C will receive reduction therapy with DOC. Patients with < 20% tumor reduction will be off protocol. Patients with ≥ 20% tumor reduction get Induction 1 and 2 with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, dexamethasone, high dose methotrexate, polatuzumab vedotin, and triple intrathecal chemotherapy (M8A30D CPR) 1 and 2, then Consolidation 1 with Pv-R-CYVE 1. If no residual disease, they get Consolidation 2 (Pv-R-CYVE 2), followed by Maintenance (M) 1 with M8A30D CP, M 2 with Pv-cytarabine/etoposide, M 3 with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, dexamethasone and polatuzumab vedotin (A30D CP), and M 4 with Pv-cytarabine/etoposide. Cohort Ib patients with CNS disease will receive additional intrathecal chemotherapy and high dose methotrexate during Consolidation.
Group IV: Cohort 1aExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Mature B-cell Non-hodgkin Lymphoma [MB NHL], GROUP B will receive reduction therapy with dexamethasone, vincristine and cyclophosphamide (DOC), then undergo disease assessment. If tumor reduction ≥ 20%, will get induction 1 and 2 with polatuzumab vedotin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, methotrexate, rituximab, doxorubicin (Pv-COM3RA25D) 1 and 2, then Consolidation 1 with rituximab, cytarabine, methotrexate (R-CYM) . Patients will undergo disease assessment post Consolidation 1. If no residual disease, they proceed to receive Consolidation 2 with Pv-R-CYM (R-CYM 2). Cohort Ia patients with < 20% tumor reduction post DOC will be assigned to Cohort Ib starting at Induction 1. Cohort Ia patients with residual disease post Consolidation 1 will be assigned to Cohort Ib starting at Consolidation 1 polatuzumab vedotin, rituximab, high dose cytarabine, cytarabine, high dose methotrexate, etoposide (Pv-R-CYVE 1).
