Brief Summary:
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of ipilimumab and nivolumab when given together with brentuximab vedotin, and how well they work in treating patients with Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned after a period of improvement (recurrent) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Brentuximab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, brentuximab, linked to a toxic agent called vedotin. Brentuximab attaches to CD30 positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. It is not known whether giving brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab with or without ipilimumab may kill more cancer cells.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of each combination (Phase I) [ Time Frame: 21 days ]
    MTD defined as the highest dose level at which less than 33% of 6 patients experience a dose limiting toxicity (DLT), will be graded by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0. Upon completion of the trial, frequency of subjects experiencing toxicities will be tabulated. Toxicities will be assessed and graded according to CTCAE version 4.0 terminology. Exact 95% confidence intervals (CI) around the toxicity proportions will be calculated.

  2. CR rate (Phase II) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    The analysis of CR between two arms will be performed using exact Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) test stratifying on prior brentuximab vedotin (BV) (Yes versus [vs.] No) and age (< 18 vs. >= 18). Multivariable logistic regression modeling will be used to adjust for the effect of any covariates that are associated with these categorical outcomes.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Complete response (CR) rate (Phase I) [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
    Assessed using the Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma and reported along with the 95% CI.

  2. Partial response (PR) rate (Phase I) [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
    Assessed using the Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma and reported along with the 95% CI.

  3. Overall response rate (ORR) rate (Phase I) [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
    Assessed using the Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma and reported along with the 95% CI.

  4. Duration of response (DOR) (Phase I) [ Time Frame: From the documented beginning of response up to 3 years ]
    DOR will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology. Greenwood's formula will be used to calculate 95% CI for the Kaplan-Meier estimates. Descriptive statistics will be used to evaluate the DOR achieved with the protocol therapy and with the most recent prior systemic therapy.

  5. Overall survival (OS) (Phase I) [ Time Frame: From the date of study entry up to 3 years ]
    OS will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology. Greenwood's formula will be used to calculate 95% CI for the Kaplan-Meier estimates.

  6. Progression-free survival (PFS) (Phase I) [ Time Frame: From entry onto study up to 3 years ]
    PFS will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology. Greenwood's formula will be used to calculate 95% CI for the Kaplan-Meier estimates.

  7. ORR (Phase II) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Assessed using Revised Response (Cheson) and Deauville criteria. The analysis of ORR between two arms will be performed using the CMH test stratifying on prior BV (Yes vs. No) and age (< 18 vs. >= 18). Multivariable logistic regression modeling will be used to adjust for the effect of any covariates that are associated with these categorical outcomes.

  8. PFS (or modified PFS) (Phase II) [ Time Frame: From randomization up to 5 years ]
    PFS will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology and compared between arms using stratified log-rank test. Greenwood's formula will be used to calculate 95% confidence intervals for the Kaplan-Meier estimates. Cox proportional regression model will be used to estimate hazard ratios (95% CI) and assess the relationship between other prognostic factors with time-to-event outcome. Point estimates of all endpoints will be accompanied by the corresponding 95% confidence intervals.

  9. OS (Phase II) [ Time Frame: From randomization up to 5 years ]
    OS will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology and compared between arms using stratified log-rank test. Greenwood's formula will be used to calculate 95% confidence intervals for the Kaplan-Meier estimates. Cox proportional regression model will be used to estimate hazard ratios (95% CI) and assess the relationship between other prognostic factors with time-to-event outcome. Point estimates of all endpoints will be accompanied by the corresponding 95% confidence intervals.

  10. DOR (Phase II) [ Time Frame: From the documented beginning of response up to 5 years ]
    DOR, will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology and compared between arms using stratified log-rank test. Greenwood's formula will be used to calculate 95% confidence intervals for the Kaplan-Meier estimates. Cox proportional regression model will be used to estimate hazard ratios (95% CI) and assess the relationship between other prognostic factors with time-to-event outcome. Point estimates of all endpoints will be accompanied by the corresponding 90% confidence intervals. The DOR achieved with the most recent prior systemic therapy will be collected on the case report forms, and descriptive statistics will be used to evaluate the DOR achieved with the protocol therapy and with the most recent prior systemic therapy.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Change in the percentage of activated T cells and natural killer cells (Phase I and II) [ Time Frame: Baseline (Time 1) to 9 weeks (Time 3, time of first re-staging) ]
    These quantities of interest will be calculated for each patient and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test will be used to test for significant difference between the time points. Using Wilcoxon rank sum test (two-sided type I error of 0.1), differences between those who progress or die within one year versus (vs.) those who are event-free at one year will be evaluated.

  2. Change in the percentages of activated T cells and natural killer cells (Phase I and II) [ Time Frame: Day 1 of cycle 2 (Time 2) or 9 weeks (Time 3) to up to 6 weeks after completion of study treatment (Time 4, end of study) ]
    These quantities of interest will be calculated for each patient and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test will be used to test for significant difference between the time points. Using the Wilcoxon rank sum test (two-sided type I error of 0.1), differences between those who progress or die within one year vs. those who are event-free at one year will be evaluated.

  3. Effects of combinations on systemic immunity (Phase I and II) [ Time Frame: Baseline to up to 6 weeks after completion of study treatment ]
  4. Pre- and post-treatment levels of cytokines and T cell specific biomarkers (Phase I and II) [ Time Frame: Baseline to up to 6 weeks after completion of study treatment ]
    Pre- and post-treatment levels of these markers will be compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test with two-sided type I error of 0.1. Marker levels between patients who fail at 1-year vs. patients who are event-free at 1-year will be evaluated. Given limited data, the analyses of PD-1, co-expression of Tim-3 with PD-1, ICOS, sCD30, galectin-1 and the peripheral blood absolute lymphocyte to monocyte ratio will be mainly exploratory and will be summarized descriptively at the time-points described above. The association with PFS will be explored.

  5. Differentially expressed genes between two groups (patients who fail at 1-year vs. patients who are event-free at 1-year or responders vs. non-responders) (Phase I and II) [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Assessed using gene expression profiling (GEP). Differentially expressed genes will be identified using a rank-based method developed by Dr. Hong (RankProd, R package, Bioconductor Project) with multiple comparison adjustment using a false discovery rate approach. A two-way unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis will be applied to both the genes and the samples to illustrate whether GEP can separate two groups or is associated with other clinical factors. The genes ranked as most significant will be assessed by gene ontology and pathway analysis for their potential functions in lymphoma biology and treatment failure.

  6. Microbiome analysis (Phase I and II) [ Time Frame: Completion of study treatment ]
    Will compare the gut microbiome between Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients and healthy controls with respect to global diversity, taxonomic abundance, and bacterial functional pathways. The relative abundance of each taxon (phyla to genera) and functional pathways among different groups will be statistically compared in univariate analysis using t-test (or Wilcoxon test) and in multivariate analysis using logistic regression. Global diversity tests and multivariate analysis for taxonomic abundance and functional pathways will be adjusted for potential confounders (age, gender, race, and body mass index [BMI]) in the comparisons of HL patients and controls, and further adjusted for stage and grade when examining the clinical response among HL patients.

  7. Absolute maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) (Phase II) [ Time Frame: Up to cycle 10 ]
    Image data will be evaluated using Lugano response criteria with various D 5PS cut-offs in the entire cohort and in different therapy cohorts to determine if the existing set of criteria is sufficient to segregate the group into various response categories. Will correlate PFS, event free survival (EFS), OS 5PS in two reading settings (1-3 [negative] vs 4-5 [positive] and D 5PS 1-4 [negative] vs 5 [positive]) (Kaplan-Meier [KM] curve and log-rank testing).

  8. Metabolic whole body tumor volume (MTV) and tumor lesion glycolysis (TLG) [ Time Frame: Up to cycle 10 ]

Will correlate PFS, EFS, OS 5PS in two reading settings (1-3 [negative] vs 4-5 [positive] and D 5PS 1-4 [negative] vs 5 [positive]) (KM curve and log-rank testing).

  11. Absolute CT tumor volumes [ Time Frame: Up to cycle 10 ]
    Image data will be evaluated using Lugano response criteria with various D 5PS cut-offs in the entire cohort and in different therapy cohorts to determine if the existing set of criteria is sufficient to segregate the group into various response categories.

  • RANDOMIZED PHASE II (ARMS K AND L): Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and sexually active males must either abstain from sexual intercourse for the duration of their participation in the study or agree to use both double barrier contraception and birth control pills or implants for at least one week prior to the start of the study drug and continuing for 5 months after the last dose of study drug (for female patients) and for 7 months after the last dose of study drug (for male patients who are sexually active with WOCBP); should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she (or the participating partner) should inform the treating physician immediately
  • RANDOMIZED PHASE II (ARMS K AND L): Patients must have no evidence of dyspnea at rest and a pulse oximetry > 92% while breathing room air
  • RANDOMIZED PHASE II (ARMS K AND L): Patients must have FEV1/FVC > 60% by pulmonary function test (PFT), unless due to large mediastinal mass from HL; carbon monoxide diffusion capacity (DLCO), FEV1, and FVC all > 50% predicted value; all pulmonary function tests must be obtained within one month prior to registration
  • RANDOMIZED PHASE II (ARMS K AND L): ANC >= 1500/mcL (1.5 x 0^9/L) (obtained within 2 weeks prior to registration)
  • RANDOMIZED PHASE II (ARMS K AND L): Platelets >= 75,000/mcL (75 x 10^9/L) (obtained within 2 weeks prior to registration)
  • RANDOMIZED PHASE II (ARMS K AND L): AST/ALT =< 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) for age (obtained within 2 weeks prior to registration)
  • RANDOMIZED PHASE II (ARMS K AND L): Bilirubin =< 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (unless documented Gilbert's syndrome, for which Bilirubin =< 3 x upper limit of normal [ULN] is permitted) (obtained within 2 weeks prior to registration)
  • RANDOMIZED PHASE II (ARMS K AND L): Adult patients (>= 18 years old) must have a calculated creatinine clearance by Cockcroft-Gault formula >= 30 ml/min (obtained within 2 weeks prior to registration)

  • RANDOMIZED PHASE II (ARMS K AND L): Pediatric patients (< 18 years old) must have a creatinine clearance or radioisotope GFR >= 70 mL/min/1.73 m^2 or serum creatinine based on age/gender as follows:

    • Age: maximum serum creatinine (mg/dL)

      • < 13 years: male (1.2), female (1.2)
      • 13 to < 16 years: male (1.5), female (1.4)
      • >= 16 years: male (1.7), female (1.4)
  • RANDOMIZED PHASE II (ARMS K AND L): No evidence of prior malignancy except adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, in situ cervical carcinoma or any surgically- or radiation-cured malignancy continuously disease free for >= 5 years so as not to interfere with interpretation of radiographic response
  • RANDOMIZED PHASE II (ARMS K AND L): Patient must have no current or prior history of CNS involvement
  • RANDOMIZED PHASE II (ARMS K AND L): All prior therapy must have been completed at least 21 days prior to enrollment (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C); no concomitant anti lymphoma therapy, including systemic corticosteroids for the purpose of treatment of lymphoma are allowed; topical steroids are allowed
  • RANDOMIZED PHASE II (ARMS K AND L): No history of Steven's Johnson's syndrome, TENs syndrome, or motor neuropathy

  • RANDOMIZED PHASE II (ARMS K AND L): HIV positive patients are eligible provided they meet the other protocol criteria including the following:

    • Long term survival expected were it not for the cHL
    • HIV viral loads undetectable by standard clinical HIV testing
    • Willing to adhere to effective combination antiretroviral therapy
  • RANDOMIZED PHASE II (ARMS K AND L): Patients must not have autoimmune disorders, prior solid organ transplant, or conditions of immunosuppression that require current ongoing treatment with systemic corticosteroids (or other systemic immunosuppressants), including oral steroids (i.e., prednisone, dexamethasone) or continuous use of topical steroid creams or ointments or ophthalmologic steroids; a history of occasional (but not continuous) use of steroid
