RADAR Trial Summary

This trial aims to compare the efficacy and safety of 2 chemotherapy regimens for treating advanced Hodgkin lymphoma. Patients will receive 3-4 cycles of chemo & may get radiation. Data from 2 trials will be combined & followed up for 5 yrs.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 16-69 with early stage Hodgkin lymphoma who haven't had treatment before. They must be physically fit, have normal organ function, and agree to follow the study's rules including contraceptive advice. Excluded are those allergic to trial drugs, pregnant or breastfeeding women, over age 70 or under age 15, with certain infections or other serious health issues.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The RADAR trial tests ABVD versus A2VD chemotherapy regimens in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma. It includes an interim PET-CT scan after two cycles of chemo to adjust further treatment. Participants may also receive radiotherapy and will be followed up for at least five years post-treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Chemotherapy can cause side effects like nausea, fatigue, hair loss, increased risk of infection due to low blood cell counts, heart problems from anthracyclines (like doxorubicin), lung issues from bleomycin and nerve damage from brentuximab vedotin.
