A Phase 2 Front-Line PET/CT-2 Response-Adapted Brentuximab Vedotin and Nivolumab Incorporated and Radiation-Free Management of Early Stage Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL)

This phase II trial studies how well brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab work in treating
participants with stage I-II classic Hodgkin lymphoma. Monoclonal antibodies, such as
brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and
spread.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the 18 month progression free survival (PFS) for each arm of therapy stratified
by positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT)-2 response.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Assess safety, tolerability, and quality of life (QOL) for each arm of therapy.

II. Measure PET/CT-2 negativity rate after 2 lead-in cycles of doxorubicin, bleomycin,
vinblastine, dacarbazine (ABVD).

III. Evaluate the 3-year PFS and overall survival (OS) for each arm of treatment.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. Evaluate if a baseline antitumor immune response, as assessed by a Nanostring gene panel,
correlates with PFS.

II. Evaluate if minimal residual disease (MRD) status, as monitored by cancer personalized
profiling by deep sequencing (CAPP-Seq) of circulating tumor (ct) deoxyribonucleic acid
(DNA), can be correlated with PFS.

OUTLINE: Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 groups based on their PET/CT-2 scans.

GROUP I (PET/CT-2 NEGATIVE): Participants without bulky disease are randomized to either Arm
A or B and participants with bulky disease are assigned to Arm B.

ARM A: Participants receive brentuximab vedotin intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes and
nivolumab IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeat every 21 days for up to 3 courses in
the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM B: Participants receive doxorubicin IV, bleomycin IV, vinblastine IV, dacarbazine IV on
days 1 and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 2 courses in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity. Participants then receive nivolumab IV over 60 minutes
on day 1. Treatment with nivolumab repeats every 14 days for up to 6 courses in the absence
of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

GROUP II (PET/CT-2 POSITIVE): Participants receive doxorubicin IV, vinblastine IV,
dacarbazine, IV and brentuximab vedotin IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 15. Treatment
repeats every 28 days for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity. Participants that are PET/CT negative receive nivolumab IV over 60
minutes on day 1. Treatment with nivolumab repeats every 14 days for up to 6 courses in the
absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up for 3 years.

- Documented informed consent of the participant and/or legally authorized
representative.

otherwise specified]) at local enrolling center.

- Stage IA, IB, IIA, or IIB cHL by Cotswold modified Ann Arbor staging done prior to any
treatment with ABVD.

the longest diameter on cross-sectional imaging and measureable in two perpendicular
dimensions on CT and fludeoxyglucose (FDG) avid by PET.

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1,000/mm^3.

- Platelets >= 75,000/mm^3.

- Hemoglobin >= 8 g/dL.

- Total bilirubin =< 1.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN) (unless the elevation is known to
be related to Gilbert's syndrome).

- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) =< 2.5 x ULN.

- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 2.5 x ULN.

- Creatinine clearance >= 30 mL/min per 24 hour urine collection or the Cockcroft-Gault
formula.

- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) >= 45%.

- Carbon monoxide diffusion capacity (DLCO) (adjusted for hemoglobin [Hb]) >= 60%.

- Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP): negative urine or serum pregnancy test. If
the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test
will be required.

- Agreement by females and males of childbearing potential to use an effective method of
birth control or abstain from heterosexual activity for the course of the study
through at least 6 months after the last dose of protocol therapy.

- Childbearing potential defined as not being surgically sterilized (men and women)
or have not been free from menses for > 1 year (women only).

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients must be naive in terms of any prior therapy for Hodgkin lymphoma (including
immunotherapy, chemotherapy or radiation therapy) with the exception that they may
have received up to 2 cycles of ABVD as standard of care therapy prior to enrollment,
as long as they can start subsequent therapy (therapy administered in Arms A, B1/B2,
or C) within timelines specified by the trial.

- Subjects with a non-lymphoma related condition requiring systemic treatment with
either corticosteroids (> 10 mg daily prednisone equivalents) or other
immunosuppressive medications within 14 days of study drugs administration. Patients
can have received short term dosing of steroids prior to the start of ABVD
chemotherapy for management of symptoms of cHL and any steroids given for cHL symptom
management should be tapered down to 10 mg or less of prednisone equivalents by the
time of start of ABVD chemotherapy, and fully tapered off by week 1 of ABVD.

- Sensory > grade 1 or any peripheral motor neuropathy.

- History of another primary malignancy that has not been in remission for at least 3
years. (The following are exempt from the 3-year limit: nonmelanoma skin cancer, fully

zidovudine (including Combivir and Trizivir) or ritonavir (includes Norvir or
