Summary

This trial is testing brentuximab vedotin with or without nivolumab to see if it is effective in treating patients with CD30+ lymphoma.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with CD30+ lymphoma that has returned or isn't responding to treatment. They must have certain blood counts, kidney and liver function within set limits, and a life expectancy over 90 days without treatment. Not eligible if they have significant neuropathy, intolerance to brentuximab vedotin, poor performance status, recent transplants or radioimmunotherapy, HIV/hepatitis B infection, pregnancy/breastfeeding without contraception use.
What is being tested?
The study tests how well the drug Brentuximab Vedotin works alone or combined with Nivolumab in patients whose CD30+ lymphoma has relapsed or is refractory. It examines whether these treatments can stimulate the immune system to stop cancer growth more effectively than current methods.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include nerve damage (neuropathy), reactions related to infusion of the drugs, fatigue, changes in blood counts leading to increased risk of infections or bleeding problems. Liver and kidney functions may also be affected.
