Summary

This trial is studying a combination of chemotherapy drugs with or without radiation therapy to see how well it treats young patients with a low-risk form of Hodgkin lymphoma.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young patients, 21 years or younger, with a type of cancer called favorable-risk Hodgkin lymphoma. They should not have been treated before and must have specific early stages of the disease without extensive spread. Girls after puberty need a negative pregnancy test and all participants able to have children must use birth control.
What is being tested?
The study is testing how well a mix of chemotherapy drugs works compared to the same chemo plus radiation therapy in these young patients. The goal is to see if adding radiation helps more when some cancer remains after chemo, while trying to preserve healthy body parts.
What are the potential side effects?
Chemotherapy can cause side effects like nausea, hair loss, fatigue, increased risk of infections due to low blood cell counts, and potential damage to organs such as the heart or lungs. Radiation may lead to skin irritation at the treatment site and possible long-term risks like secondary cancers.

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: TreatmentExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants receive Stanford V Chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy. Patients receive doxorubicin hydrochloride IV and vinblastine IV on day 1 of weeks 1, 3, 5, and 7; mechlorethamine hydrochloride IV on day 1 of weeks 1 and 5; vincristine sulfate IV and bleomycin IV on day 1 of weeks 2, 4, 6, and 8; etoposide IV on day 1 of weeks 3 and 7; and prednisone orally (PO) three times daily every other day of weeks 1-8. Beginning 2-3 weeks after completion of chemotherapy, patients not achieving complete response undergo radiation therapy to individual nodal sites (tailored fields)
