CheckMate 744 Trial Summary

This trial will test whether nivolumab plus brentuximab vedotin is safe and effective in treating patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma who have relapsed or are refractory to first line treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young patients aged 5-30 with Hodgkin's Lymphoma that has come back or didn't respond to first treatment. They should be mostly able to do daily activities and have had only one prior cancer therapy. Those who've had stem cell transplants, multiple treatments, or certain autoimmune diseases can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if Nivolumab combined with Brentuximab Vedotin is effective for treating Hodgkin's Lymphoma in youth. If the response isn't great, they'll add Bendamustine. It aims to find a safe and effective second-line treatment option.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune system reactions like inflammation of organs, infusion-related symptoms, fatigue, nausea, blood count changes which could increase infection risk. Each patient may experience these differently.
