Anti-PD-1 and Chemotherapy for R/R Hodgkin Lymphoma

Anti-PD-1 therapy provides high response rates in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients who have relapsed or are refractory (R/R) to autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and brentuximab vedotin (BV), but median progression free survival (PFS) is only one year. The efficacy of treatment following anti-PD-1 is not well known. In this context, the optimal treatment for patients who failed after anti-PD-1 therapy is an issue. To better assess their outcome, the investigators retrospectively analyzed the characteristics and outcome of patients from 14 LYSA (The Lymphoma Study Association) centers who lost response to anti-PD-1 therapy and received additional CT.
