Study Summary

This phase II trial studies how well combination chemotherapy with or without rituximab works in treating participants with stage III-IV classic Hodgkin lymphoma. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving rituximab with combination chemotherapy may work better in treating participants with classic Hodgkin lymphoma.

Primary Outcome

EFS will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The log-rank test will be performed to test the difference in time-to-event distributions between patient groups. Cox proportional hazards model will be utilized to include multiple covariates in the time-to-event analysis. Logistic regression will be utilized to assess the effect of patient prognostic factors on the response rate.
