A Phase II Study of the Combination of Azacitidine and Pembrolizumab for Patients Relapsed/Refractory Hodgkin's Lymphoma
April 17, 2024 updated by: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
This study is a Phase II single-center clinical trial designed to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of pembrolizumab in combination with the 7-day regimen of azacitidine for the treatment of relapsed/refractory HL.

Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
Primary Objectives:
• To assess the overall response rate (ORR) of Pembrolizumab in combination with azacitidine in patients with relapsed or progressed classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL).
Secondary Objectives:
- To assess the duration of response (DOR), relapse-free survival (RFS), and overall survival (OS) of patients with refractory/relapsed HL treated with this combination.
- To assess the safety of Pembrolizumab in combination with azacitidine in children with refractory/relapsed HL.
- To assess the proportion of patients who proceed to stem cell transplantation upon achieving response with the combination of Pembrolizumab and Azacitidine regimen.

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 3 or Lansky performance status >= 50
- Adequate renal function per age unless related to the disease
