ctDNA-Guided Therapy for Relapsed/Refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma (NCT07021989)

Pembrolizumab and GVD With ctDNA-guided Consolidation in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Multicenter Phase 2 Study of the University of California Hematologic Malignancies Consortium

🟒 Recruiting Phase2 πŸ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Michael Spinner, MD

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This is a single arm, open-label, multicenter, phase II study of pembrolizumab (pembro), gemcitabine, vinorelbine, and liposomal doxorubicin (GVD) in patients with relapsed or refractory classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) with response-adapted consolidation. This study will investigate using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) at pre-determined time points using Foresight CLARITY LDT, an ultra-sensitive liquid biopsy platform that detects Minimal residual disease (MRD) in patients with B-cell lymphomas using the phased variant enrichment and sequencing technology (PhasEDq) to determine response to study interventions.
