Treatment for Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma in Children and Adolescents (EuroNet-PHL-C2)

June 13, 2016 updated by: GALIA AVRAHAMI

An International, Multicentre, Randomised Controlled Trial. Treatment for Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma in Children and Adolescents Standard Treatment (Chemotherapy and RT) Compared With Experimental Treatment (Chemotherapy Without RT or Restricted to RT)

Reduction of the indication for radiotherapy (RT) in newly diagnosed patients with classical Hodgkins lymphoma without compromising cure rates. Investigation of a chemotherapy intensification randomisation in intermediate and advanced classical Hodgkins lymphoma patients to compensate for reduction in RT.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. histologically confirmed primary diagnosis of classical Hodgkin's lymphoma.
  2. patients under 18 years of age on the date of written informed consent. In specialized Teenage and Young Adult (TYA) units in Australia, France, Italy, New Zealand and United Kingdom patients up to under 25 years of age can also be enrolled. Lower age limits will be country specific according to national laws or formal insurance requirements that may preclude very young patients.
  3. written informed consent of the patient and/or the patient's parents or guardian according to national laws.
  4. negative pregnancy test within 2 weeks prior to starting treatment for female patients with childbearing potential

Exclusion Criteria: (Patients with one or more of the following criterion are excluded)

  1. prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy for other malignancies
  2. pre-treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma (except for steroid pre-phase to a maximum of 7-10 days for emergency treatment of a large mediastinal tumour).
  3. diagnosis of lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin's lymphoma
  4. other (simultaneous) malignancies
  5. contraindication or known hypersensitivity to study drugs
  6. severe concomitant diseases (e.g. immune deficiency syndrome)
  7. known HIV-positivity
  8. residence outside the participating countries where long term follow-up cannot be guaranteed
  9. pregnancy and / or lactation
  10. patients who are sexually active and are unwilling to use adequate contraception during therapy and for one month after last trial treatment
  11. current or recent (within 30 days prior to date of written informed consent) treatment with another investigational drug or participation in another interventional clinical trial

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: A-"COPDAC-28"

standard COPDAC-28 (chemotherapy cycle:Cyclophosphamide,Doxorubicin,Prednisone,Dacarbazine), chemotherapy and standard involved node radiotherapy.

drugs: Prednisone 40mg/m2/day,P.O,day 1-day 15. Dacarbazine 250mg/m2, I.V. , infusion,day 1- day 3. Vincristine 15mg/m2 , I.V. , day1+day 8. Cyclophosphamide 500mg/m2,infusion,day 1+day 8.

All patients will have 2 "OPEA"cycles(chemotherapy cycle:Vincristine,Etoposide,Prednisone,doxorubicin) ,After assignment ( by randomization) to one of the arms the patient will be treated accordingly . response assessment will be done after "OPEA" cycles (ERA) and after cycles of "copdac 28" or DECOPDAC 21(LRA).according to the assessments results patients will have radiotherapy or not.
ARM A and ARM B

DECOPDAC-21(chemotherapy cycle:Dacarbazine,Etoposide,Doxorubicin,Cyclophosphamide,Prednisone,Vincristine) intensified chemotherapy and no RT or restricted fields of radiotherapy.

Drugs: Prednisone 40mg/m2/day,P.O,day 1-day 15:

Dacarbazine 250mg/m2, I.V. , infusion,day 1- day 3 Vincristine 15mg/m2 , I.V. , day1+day 8 Cyclophosphamide 625mg/m2,infusion,day1+day2 Etoposide 100mg/m2/day,infusion,day 1- day 3 Doxorubicin 25mg/m2, infusion, day 1

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Increase event free survival rate from 88% to 93%
Time Frame: Will be assessed once a year up to 5 years after end of treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
