Prognostic Model of Elderly Hodgkin Lymphoma in China

January 20, 2026 updated by: Huilai Zhang, Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital

Clinical Characteristics and Prognostic Model Analysis of Elderly Patients With Hodgkin Lymphoma in China

This multicenter observational cohort study is based on a patient registry designed to systematically collect uniform real-world clinical data from elderly patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) in China. The registry captures demographic characteristics, disease features, laboratory parameters, treatment patterns, and longitudinal survival outcomes to support predefined scientific objectives.

The primary analysis uses retrospectively collected registry data, with prospectively accrued data incorporated for external validation of a prognostic prediction model. This registry-based study aims to improve risk stratification and inform individualized clinical decision-making for elderly patients with HL in routine clinical practice.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The study population consists of elderly patients aged 60 years or older with histologically confirmed Hodgkin lymphoma. Eligible patients include those diagnosed with classical Hodgkin lymphoma or nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma who were treatment-naïve at initial diagnosis.

All patients have complete clinical, pathological, and follow-up data available. Patients with other concurrent malignant tumors, severe hepatic or renal dysfunction, or missing more than 20% of required clinical data are excluded from the study.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age ≥60 years
  • Histologically confirmed Hodgkin lymphoma, including classical Hodgkin lymphoma and nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma
  • Treatment-naïve patients who have not received prior anti-Hodgkin lymphoma therapy
  • Availability of complete clinical, pathological, and follow-up data

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Presence of other malignant tumors
  • Severe hepatic or renal dysfunction (Child-Pugh class C or estimated glomerular filtration rate <30 mL/min)
  • Missing more than 20% of required clinical data

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: From date of diagnosis until death from any cause, assessed up to 60 months.
Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from diagnosis to death from any cause.
From date of diagnosis until death from any cause, assessed up to 60 months.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: From date of diagnosis until the date of first documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 60 months.
Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from diagnosis to disease progression or death from any cause.
From date of diagnosis until the date of first documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 60 months.
Disease-Free Survival (DFS)
Time Frame: From date of first documented remission until disease relapse or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 60 months.
Disease-free survival (DFS) is defined as the time from remission to disease relapse or death from any cause.
From date of first documented remission until disease relapse or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 60 months.
Event-Free Survival (EFS)
Time Frame: From date of diagnosis until treatment failure, disease relapse, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 60 months.
Event-free survival (EFS) is defined as the time from diagnosis to treatment failure, disease relapse, or death from any cause.
From date of diagnosis until treatment failure, disease relapse, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 60 months.
Proportion of Participants With Disease Progression or Death Within 24 Months From Diagnosis (POD24)
Time Frame: From date of diagnosis to 24 months after diagnosis.
Progression of disease within 24 months (POD24) is defined as the occurrence of documented disease progression or death from any cause within 24 months from the date of diagnosis.
From date of diagnosis to 24 months after diagnosis.

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
December 9, 2025

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Estimated)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
