PACIFIC Trial Summary
This trial is testing a combination of drugs to treat primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, which is a cancer of the lymph nodes in the chest. The drugs being tested are brentuximab vedotin, nivolumab, rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone. This combination of drugs may help to control the disease and be less harmful than standard chemotherapy.
Who is the study for?
Adults diagnosed with primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBL) who haven't been treated yet, except possibly a short course of steroids or limited-field radiotherapy. They must have measurable disease, be in stages I-IV (stage I tumors must be at least 5 cm), and have adequate organ function. Participants need to agree to use effective birth control and can't join if they're pregnant, have HIV with active viremia, hepatitis B or C viremia, other recent cancers, significant neuropathy, uncontrolled major diseases, or known allergies to the drugs tested.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab alone and combined with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone for treating PMBL. Brentuximab vedotin targets cancer cells specifically; nivolumab boosts the immune system's response against cancer; rituximab attaches to specific proteins on cancerous blood cells; chemotherapy aims to kill or stop the division of cancer cells; prednisone helps reduce inflammation.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to the immune system attacking normal organs due to nivolumab's action on immunity; nerve damage from brentuximab vedotin; infusion-related reactions from monoclonal antibodies like rituximab; common chemo side effects such as nausea/vomiting from doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide; increased infection risk due to weakened immunity.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (brentuximab vedotin, nivolumab, R-CHP)Experimental Treatment7 Interventions
Patient will receive an immune lead-in of 2 cycles of Brentuximab vedotin and Nivolumab (A-O) (cycles 1 and 2), which has an appropriate futility rules in place to close early if efficacy targets are not met. At cycle 3 and 4, patients will receive A-O with R-CHP. Patients who will have achieved complete response (CR) at PET/CT before cycle 5 will receive 2 more cycles of A-O-R-CHP (cycle 5 and 6) and A-O only for cycle 7 and 8. If these patients still present CR at PET/CT after cycle 8, they will have completed therapy and will be followed up. In case of stable disease or progressive disease at PET/CT after cycle 4, the patient will be taken off the trial. Patients who present further response but no CR, at PET/CT before cycle 5 will receive 4 more cycles A-O-R-CHP (cycles 5-8). If they reach CR at PET/CT after cycle 8, they will have completed therapy and will be followed up. All patients will receive a total of 8 cycles of A-O. The cycle duration is 21 days.
