Nivolumab in Combination With Chemo-Immunotherapy for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Primary Mediastinal B-Cell Lymphoma
United States244 participantsStarted 2021-10-05
Plain-language summary
This phase III trial compares the effects of nivolumab with chemo-immunotherapy versus chemo-immunotherapy alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Treatment for PMBCL involves chemotherapy combined with an immunotherapy called rituximab. Chemotherapy drugs 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. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody. It binds to a protein called CD20, which is found on B cells (a type of white blood cell) and some types of cancer cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Giving nivolumab with chemo-immunotherapy may help treat patients with PMBCL.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Age \>= 2 years
* Patient must have histologically confirmed primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) as defined by World Health Organization (WHO) criteria
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2 or ECOG performance status of 3 if poor performance is related to lymphoma
* Children's Oncology Group (COG) Institutions: Use Karnofsky for patients \>= 17 and \< 18 years of age and Lansky for patients \< 17 years of age
* Adults (age 18 or older): Creatinine clearance \>= 30 mL/min, as estimated by the Cockcroft and Gault formula. The creatinine value used in the calculation must have been obtained within 28 days prior to registration. Estimated creatinine clearance is based on actual body weight
* Pediatric Patients (age \< 18 years): The following must have been obtained within 14 days prior to registration:
* Measured or calculated (based on institutional standard) creatinine clearance or radioisotope glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \>= 70 ml/min/1.73 m\^2, or
* Serum creatinine =\< 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (IULN), or a serum creatinine based on age/sex as follows:
* Age : 2 to \< 6 year; Maximum serum creatinine (mg/dL): 0.8 (male; 0.8 (female)
* Age : 6 to \< 10 years; Maximum serum creatinine (mg/dL): 1 (male); 1 (female)
* Age : 10 to \< 13 years; Maximum serum creatinine (mg/dL): 1.2 (male); 1.2 (female)
* Age : 13 to \< 16 years; Maximum serum creatinine (mg/dL): 1.5…
