Summary
Reinduction chemotherapy followed by high‐dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant (HDCT + ASCT) is second‐line standard of care for transplant‐eligible patients with relapsed/refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (r/r cHL) but has a high failure rate. Because response to reinduction is predictive of the outcome after HDCT + ASCT, we aimed to improve the standard dexamethasone, high‐dose cytarabine and cisplatinum (DHAP) reinduction regimen by addition of the oral mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor everolimus (everDHAP). Transplant‐eligible patients aged 18–60 years with histologically confirmed r/r cHL were included in this experimental phase I/II trial. Everolimus (10 mg/day, determined in phase‐I‐part) was administered on day 0–13 of each DHAP cycle. From July 2014 to March 2018, 50 patients were recruited to the phase II everDHAP group; two were not evaluable, three discontinued due to toxicity. Randomization to a placebo group stopped in October 2015 due to poor recruitment after nine patients. The primary end‐point of computed tomography (CT)‐based complete remission (CR) after two cycles of everDHAP was expected to be ≥40%. With a CT‐based CR rate of 27% (n = 12/45) after two cycles of everDHAP the trial did not meet the primary end‐point. Adding everolimus to DHAP is thus feasible; however, the everDHAP regimen failed to show an improved efficacy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
