Study Summary

This phase III trial compares immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab or brentuximab vedotin) when given with combination chemotherapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed stage III or IV classic Hodgkin lymphoma. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Brentuximab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, brentuximab, linked to a toxic agent called vedotin. Brentuximab attaches to cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. Chemotherapy drugs, such as doxorubicin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. The addition of nivolumab or brentuximab vedotin to combination chemotherapy may shrink the cancer or extend the time without disease symptoms coming back.

Primary Outcome

Will be reported as the number of participants who have experienced death or progression, measured at two years. Progression will be measured according to the 2014 Lugano classification. Will test the null hypothesis (HR=1) for PFS using stratified log-rank test with a one-sided alpha of 0.021. The analysis will be based on modified intent-to-treat and will include all eligible patients as randomized regardless of treatment received. The one-sided alpha of .021 will control of the overall type-o
