E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To explore the efficacy, in terms of 3-Y PFS of chemotherapy alone in low-risk early-stage I-IIA HL patients, defined by both a low MTV and a negative interim PET after 2 courses of ABVD. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1. To explore the efficacy in terms of 3-Y PFS, of tipple association (chemotherapy +INRT+ NivlumabNivolumab) in high-risk early-stage (I-IIA) HL (eHL), defined either by a positive PET-2 or a high baseline MTV or both. 2. To explore the efficacy in terms of 3-Y freedom from 2nd treatment failure (3-Y FF2TF) of chemotherapy followed by INRT “on demand” plus Nivolumab maintenance in patients relapsing with the pattern of “limited relapse” (see below) for the entire group (relapsed and non-relapsed) of low-risk patients (with low MTV and negative PET-2) 3. To explore the safety in terms of 3-Y OS of a treatment with chemotherapy alone in low-risk early-stage (I-IIA) HL patients, defined by a low Metabolic Tumor Volume negative interim PET after 2 ABVD courses. 4. To evaluate the ability of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) assay to detect an impending relapse during follow-up in low-risk patients treated with chemotherapy alone.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
1. To evaluate the overall efficacy in terms of 3-Y PFS equal or superior to 90% , defined as the time from registration until first occurrence of disease progression or relapse, or death for any reason of chemotherapy alone in non-bulky stage I-IIA Hodgkin Lymphoma (eHL), patients with a very low risk of treatment failure, as defined by both a low Metabolic Tumor Volume (MTV) and a negative interim PET after 2 ABVD cycle (PET-2). |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
During follow-up after the end of treatment |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
1. To explore the efficacy in terms of 3-Y PFS defined as the time from registration until first occurrence of disease progression or relapse, or death for any reason of CMT plus Nivolumab in high-risk eHL, defined either by a positive PET-2 or a high baseline MTV or both. 2. To evaluate the efficacy, in terms of three-year freedom from second treatment Failure (3-Y FF2TF), measured from the date of registration to the date of second relapse after radiotherapy “on demand” to rescue patients relapsed after CT alone with the pattern of “limited relapse” for the entire group (relapsed and non-relapsed) of low-risk patients (with low MTV and negative PET2). 3. To evaluate the safety, in terms of 3-Y OS, defined as the time from enrollment until death for any reason of the delayed radiotherapy (RT ,,on demand”) followe by Nivolumab maintenance in rescuing patients who relapsed after chemotherapy alone with the pattern of ,,limited relapse”. 4. Overall accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value and positive predictive value of cell-free DNA to detect an impending relapse during follow-up of patients treated with chemotherapy alone
