Abstract 285TiP
Background
High risk for relapse is observed in cHL patients (pts) with SER to initial chemotherapy and organ toxicities may be higher following dose intensification.
Trial design
The phase 2 KEYNOTE-667 (NCT03407144) study will enroll 440 pts aged 3-17 (children) or 18-25 years (young adults) with newly-diagnosed, confirmed stage IA, IB, or IIA cHL without bulky disease (Group 1 [low-risk]) or stage IIEB, IIIEA, IIIEB, IIIB, IVA, or IVB cHL (Group 2 [high-risk]); measurable disease; performance status per Lansky Play-Performance Scale ≥50 (age ≤16 years) or Karnofsky score ≥50 (age >16 years). Pts will receive induction with doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine (ABVD; Group 1) or vincristine, etoposide/etoposide phosphate, prednisone/prednisolone, doxorubicin (OEPA; Group 2) for 2 cycles, then early response assessment by PET/CT/MRI. Pts with rapid early response (Deauville score 1-3) will receive non-study consolidation chemotherapy. Pts with SER (Deauville score 4-5) will receive consolidation with pembro 2 mg/kg Q3W to 200 mg (children) or 200 mg Q3W (young adults) plus 2 cycles AVD (Group 1) or 4 cycles cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisone/prednisolone, dacarbazine (COPDAC-28; Group 2). PET/CT for late response assessment (LRA) will be performed after consolidation. After LRA, Group 1 SER pts and Group 2 pts (Deauville score 4-5) will receive radiotherapy (RT). All pts will receive maintenance pembro Q3W concomitantly with RT. Pembro will continue for 17 administrations, with option to stop after 8-administrations due to CR, or until progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal. Primary endpoint: ORR per Cheson 2007 IWG criteria by group in SER pts. Secondary endpoints: SERs with PET negativity after consolidation, 2-yr event-free survival (EFS), OS, RT frequency and details by group, RERs with PET negativity after ABVD induction, 3-yr EFS by investigator, OS by risk group, serum TARC levels at screening in SERs by risk group. ORR with 95% CI will be estimated by Clopper-Pearson method. EFS and OS will be estimated by Kaplan-Meier method. Safety will be assessed in all-treated pts.
