Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Pediatric Relapsed or Refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma After Nivolumab Treatment

A Phase 2 interventional study of Nivolumab in Relapsed or Refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma, Children and Nivolumab, sponsored by St. Petersburg State Pavlov Medical University. Enrolling by invitation at 2 sites in Russian Federation. Open to participants aged 2 Years to 18 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-04-17.

Registry
Recurrence — the first condition term the registry derived for this study.

Hodgkin Disease
Why
  1. Recurrence describes something many studies share rather than a condition a study is about.
  2. The study's listed conditions name Hodgkin Disease.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

Children with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma receive 3-6 cycles of nivolumab monotherapy. In case of achieving complete response (CR) auto-HSCT is performed. In the absence of CR, 3-6 additional cycles of nivolumab with bendamustine are administered. If complete or partial response is achieved, auto-HSCT is performed.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Diagnosis of Hodgkin lymphoma established on the basis of histological and immunohistochemical studies
  • Confirmation of of refractory Hodgkin lymphoma based on histological and immunohistochemical studies or based on imaging methods (PET/CT and/or CT).
  • Number of >2
  • index ≥60%
  • availability of signed -

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Number of ≤ 2
  • index \< 60
  • Intolerance to drugs used in the study
  • Presence of a second tumor
  • Pregnancy or lactation
  • Participation in another study within six months
  • Presence of concomitant severe disease
  • Presence of and/or viral hepatitis (B or C)
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.

Line of therapy

A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.

“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.

Karnofsky performance status (KPS)

A 0–100 scale of how well someone can carry out everyday activities. 100 is no complaints and no signs of illness; 70 is able to look after yourself but not to work or keep up normal activity; 50 is needing considerable help and frequent medical care.

Studies often ask for 60 or 70 and above. Your doctor gives the score.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
