Summary

The aim of the trial is to improve efficacy of nivolumab in patients with relapsed or refractory HL who recently progressed on anti-PD1 therapy. Nivolumab is highly effective and well tolerated in rrHL, nevertheless CR-rates are low and a considerable proportion of patients suffers from progressive disease. Localized RT induces an immunogenic effect which might work synergistically and facilitate augmented systemic (i.e. abscopal) responses in combination with nivolumab.

Conditions

  • Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma

Interventions

OTHER

Nivolumab plus radiotherapy

Nivolumab 240 mg i.v. at 2-weekly intervals combined with 20Gy radiotherapy (RT) to a preferably progressive and not pre-irradiated single lesion. Nivolumab will be continued for a maximum of 18 months or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
