Brentuximab Vedotin With or Without Nivolumab in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory CD30+ Lymphoma

April 17, 2024 updated by: University of Washington

A Pilot Study of Weekly Brentuximab Vedotin or Brentuximab Vedotin Plus Nivolumab Every 3 Weeks in Patients With CD30+ Malignancies Refractory to Every ≥ 3 Week Brentuximab Vedotin

This phase II pilot trial studies how well brentuximab vedotin with or without nivolumab works in treating patients with CD30+ lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement or does not respond to treatment. Biological therapies, such as brentuximab vedotin, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving brentuximab vedotin with or without nivolumab may work better in treating patients with CD30+ lymphoma.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

OUTLINE:

ARM A (CLOSED TO ACCRUAL): Patients receive brentuximab vedotin intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM B: Patients receive brentuximab vedotin IV over 30 minutes and nivolumab IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 3-5 weeks, every 3 months for 1 year, and then every 6 months for 4 years.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Relapsed or refractory CD30+ lymphoma that has either achieved < PR to brentuximab vedotin (minimum of 2 cycles), progressed while receiving brentuximab vedotin, or progressed within 6 months of the last dose of brentuximab vedotin
  • Documented expression of CD30 on tumor cells

  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) < 2.5 x ULN
  • Measurable disease by computed tomography (CT) or similar (e.g. magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) criteria (> 1.5 cm). (Patients with cutaneous lymphoma only require measurable disease by Olsen Criteria)
  • Age >= 18 yrs at the time of the first dose of study drug
  • Resolution of all non-hematologic brentuximab vedotin-related and nivolumab-related adverse events (AEs) to < Grade 2
  • All patients must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and have given written consent in accordance with institutional and federal guidelines
  • Patients must be anticipated to complete at least 2 cycles of chemotherapy on study
  • Expected survival if untreated of > 90 days

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior transplant within 100 days
  • Radioimmunotherapy within 12 weeks
  • Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or hepatitis B positivity or prior progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML)
