Study Summary

This trial will study two treatment combinations for classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). A side effect is anything the drug does besides treating cancer. This study will have three parts (Parts A, B, and C). Part A will look at whether the A+AVD drug combination reduces the number of participants who experience the side effect of febrile neutropenia. Parts B and C will use drug combination of brentuximab vedotin, plus nivolumab, doxorubicin, and dacarbazine. These four drugs are called "AN+AD."

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) who haven't had treatment before. Participants must have specific stages of cHL as defined by the Ann Arbor classification, measurable disease, and be at least 12 years old in the US or 18 elsewhere. They should also have a performance status that allows daily activity.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests two drug combinations: 'A+AVD' (brentuximab vedotin with doxorubicin, vinblastine, dacarbazine) and 'AN+AD' (brentuximab vedotin with nivolumab, doxorubicin, dacarbazine). It aims to see how well these treatments work and what side effects they cause over several cycles.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include febrile neutropenia (fever with low white blood cell count), which can be life-threatening. Other risks may involve reactions to drugs like fatigue, infection risk increase due to low immunity cells, nerve damage symptoms like numbness or tingling.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Has Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor been sanctioned by the FDA?

"Based on the available data, G-CSF is estimated to have a safety score of 2 as it has been tested in Phase II trials but efficacy has not yet been ascertained."

Answered by AI

Is there an opportunity for volunteers to join this experiment?

"No longer recruiting candidates, this clinical trial was initially posted on January 28th 2019 and last updated in September 30th 2022. For those still seeking trials to join, there are 1726 lymphoma studies and 1251 G-CSF investigations actively looking for patients."

Answered by AI

Is this a pioneering exploration into the potential of the clinical trial?

"Globally, 1251 live trials of G-CSF are underway in 72 countries and 3154 cities. The first trial for this drug was conducted by Alfacell back in 1997 with 300 participants; since then, a further 1547 studies have been successfully concluded."

Answered by AI

How many sites are involved in the implementation of this trial?

"Multiple medical centres are welcoming patients for this trial, including Kadlec Clinic Hematology and Oncology in Kennewick, Washington; Vista Oncology Inc PS in Olympia, Oregon; MD Anderson Cancer Center / University of Texas in Houston, Colorado; plus 44 other sites."

Answered by AI

What is the experimental sample size for this research endeavor?

"At the moment, this trial is not soliciting patients. It was first posted on January 28th 2019 and its most recent update occurred September 30th 2022. For those desiring alternative studies, 1726 clinical trials are actively searching for lymphoma participants while 1251 G-CSF trials require volunteers."

Answered by AI

What precedent has been set regarding the testing of G-CSF in medical research?

"Initial research on G-CSF was conducted at Spectrum Health Hospital - Butterworth Campus in 1997. Presently, there are 1251 studies actively recruiting participants and a total of 1547 trials have been completed thus far. The majority of these investigations are occurring in the city of Kennewick, Washington."

Answered by AI

What illnesses are typically ameliorated with G-CSF?

"G-CSF is primarily used for complete resection, but has also proven to be of use in cases such as cyclic neutropenia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma."
