Nivolumab in Combination with Chemo-Immunotherapy for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Primary Mediastinal B-Cell Lymphoma
Nivolumab in Combination with Chemo-Immunotherapy for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Primary Mediastinal B-Cell Lymphoma
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
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

Patients with abnormal liver function will be eligible to enroll if the lab abnormality is thought to be due to the lymphoma or Gilberts syndrome

Age = 27% by echocardiogram, or ejection fraction of >= 50% by radionuclide angiogram
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial
For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated
Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load
All patients and/or their parents or legal guardians must sign a written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:
Administration of prior anti-cancer therapy except as outlined below: * A short course (=

Active uncontrolled infection
Central nervous system (CNS) involvement of lymphoma
Previous cancer that required systemic chemotherapy and/or thoracic radiation. Other cancers will be permitted if in remission x 3 years
Active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment (such as disease modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive agents) in the past 2 years. Replacement therapy such as thyroxine, insulin or physiologic corticosteroid for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency is not considered a form of systemic treatment
In patients
Patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C or serum total bilirubin > 5.0 mg/dL) unless thought to be due to lymphoma or Gilberts syndrome
Female patients who are pregnant since fetal toxicities and teratogenic effects have been noted for several of the study drugs. A pregnancy test is required for female patients of childbearing potential
