Brentuximab + Chemotherapy + Radiation for Hodgkin Lymphoma

Q: Are there additional studies being conducted involving brentuximab vedotin?

At the present moment, there are 1,457 studies investigating brentuximab vedotin. Of those, 314 have reached Phase 3 of trials. The primary site for these research efforts is Bethesda in <a href="https://www.withpower.com/clinical-trials/maryland">Maryland</a>; however, 52769 different locations around the world are conducting their own investigations into this medication.

Q: To what extent are hospitals in this state administering this experiment?

The current clinical trial is recruiting patients from Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford University in Palo Alto, <a href="https://www.withpower.com/clinical-trials/california">California</a>, Dana-Farber Harvard <a href="https://www.withpower.com/clinical-trials/cancer">Cancer</a> Center in Boston, <a href="https://www.withpower.com/clinical-trials/massachusetts">Massachusetts</a>, and the Mass General Hospital Cancer Centre located in Peoria <a href="https://www.withpower.com/clinical-trials/illinois">Illinois</a>. In addition to these three sites there are an additional 6 locations involved with this study.

Q: For what clinical purposes is brentuximab vedotin commonly recommended?

Brentuximab vedotin is a widely accepted method for treating pheochromocytomas. It has also been found to be useful in managing <a href="https://www.withpower.com/clinical-trials/ulcerative-colitis">ulcerative colitis</a>, varicella-zoster virus acute retinal necrosis and <a href="https://www.withpower.com/clinical-trials/multiple-myeloma">multiple myeloma</a>.

Q: Is this exploration a pioneering endeavor?

Since its first clinical trial, sponsored by Alfacell in 1997 and involving 300 patients, brentuximab vedotin has gained approval as a phase 3 drug. Currently there are 1457 active studies occurring across 3045 cities and 81 nations.

Q: Is participation in this research program available at the present moment?

This clinical investigation is no longer recruiting individuals. It was initially posted on August 12th, 2013 and its most recent update happened on August 15th, 2022. If you are still looking for a suitable trial to enter, there are 1723 trials presently enrolling patients affected by hodgkin disease and 1457 studies relying upon brentuximab vedotin that could be of use.

Q: How many participants is the clinical trial currently accommodating?

This research is temporarily closed, having first been posted on August 12th 2013 and last updated 8/15/2022. For those still looking to take part in a clinical trial for hodgkin disease, there are 1723 studies accepting participants at this time with 1457 trials specific to brentuximab vedotin actively recruiting patients.

Q: Has brentuximab vedotin been endorsed by the FDA?

Brentuximab vedotin is rated a 2 on the safety scale due to its Phase 2 status. While there are reports of its safety, no studies have yet proven any efficacy from this drug.

Study Summary

This trial is testing a new combination of drugs and radiation therapy to treat Hodgkin lymphoma in young patients.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for young patients (up to 18 years old) with stage IIB, IIIB, or IV Hodgkin lymphoma that hasn't been treated yet. They must have a certain type of cancer cell called CD30+ and their kidneys and liver need to be working well. Girls after puberty must not be pregnant and all participants who can have children should agree to use birth control during the study.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The trial tests if brentuximab vedotin combined with chemotherapy drugs (etoposide, prednisone, doxorubicin hydrochloride, cyclophosphamide, dacarbazine) plus radiation therapy is effective in treating Hodgkin lymphoma in youth. It looks at how these treatments work together to stop cancer from growing.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Possible side effects include reactions where the drug enters the body, damage to blood cells leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, nausea or vomiting from chemotherapy drugs, hair loss, fatigue and potential long-term effects from radiation.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: TreatmentExperimental Treatment9 Interventions

Participants receive AEPA regimen (brentuximab vedotin, etoposide, prednisone, doxorubicin), and CAPDac regimen (cyclophosphamide, brentuximab vedotin, prednisone, dacarbazine(R)). Filgrastim may be given as clinically indicated. For those with lymph nodes that do not go into remission after 2 courses of AEPA chemotherapy, radiation therapy will be given. Some participants may volunteer to complete the quality of life assessment.
