A Phase II Study of IGEV +/- Bortezomib Before Hign Dose Consolidation in Relapsed/Refractory Hodgkin's Lymphoma

September 1, 2010 updated by: Istituto Clinico Humanitas

IGEV +/- Bortezomib (Velcade) as Induction Before High Dose Consolidation in Relapsed/Refractory Hodgkin's Lymphoma After First Line Treatment: a Randomized Phase II Trial. On Behalf of Intergruppo Italiano Linfomi

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the addition of Bortezomib (Velcade) to IGEV combination (Ifosfamide, Gemcitabine and Vinorelbine) in patients with relapsed/refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma increases the rate of complete remission (PET negativity) at transplantation.
