Summary

This trial will study the safety and effectiveness of itacitinib in combination with everolimus in people with cHL that has relapsed or is resistant to treatment.

Who is the study for?
Adults with relapsed classical Hodgkin lymphoma who've had at least two prior treatments and aren't eligible for high-dose therapy can join. They must have measurable disease, not be candidates for certain other therapies, and be free from other cancers for 2+ years. Good organ function is required, as well as agreement to use contraception.
What is being tested?
This study tests Itacitinib combined with Everolimus in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back or hasn't responded to treatment. It's an early-phase trial where everyone gets the same drugs to see how safe they are and if they work.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of Itacitinib and Everolimus may include risks like infection due to a weakened immune system, liver problems, lung issues such as pneumonitis (lung inflammation), digestive disturbances, blood cell count changes, fatigue, and possible heart complications.
