Overview

This investigational combination therapy, evaluated in the Pembro-CORE trial (NCT03617666), is a chemo-immunotherapy regimen for patients with first-relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (r/r cHL). It integrates the anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody pembrolizumab (Keytruda) with standard salvage chemotherapy regimens: ICE (ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide) or DHAP (dexamethasone, high-dose cytarabine, and cisplatin). The treatment protocol utilizes a PET-guided strategy, starting with pembrolizumab and ICE (P-ICE); patients who do not achieve a complete metabolic response (CMR) after two cycles switch to pembrolizumab and DHAP (P-DHAP). Developed by the University of Cologne and the German Hodgkin Study Group, the regimen aims to maximize CMR rates to potentially allow patients to bypass the toxicity of high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT).
