Study Summary

This trial aims to determine if a combination of brentuximab vedotin and chemotherapy is safe and effective in treating children with advanced stage Hodgkin Lymphoma.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children with a new diagnosis of advanced stage Hodgkin Lymphoma, specifically stages III and IV. They should have CD30+ classical HL, not have received prior treatment, be relatively active (performance scores >=50), and have measurable disease by certain criteria. Their blood counts and kidney/liver functions must meet the study's standards.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Brentuximab Vedotin combined with a chemotherapy regimen including Doxorubicin (Adriamycin), Vinblastine, and Dacarbazine in pediatric patients. It aims to determine the safety, tolerability, proper dosage, and effectiveness against tumors in these young participants.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions at the infusion site, fatigue, nausea or vomiting from chemotherapy drugs; low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems; potential liver or kidney issues; nerve damage may occur due to Brentuximab Vedotin.
