Full description
Prospective, non-randomized, single arm phase II trial with 2 cohorts of ALK+ ALCL treated with nivolumab
Cohort 1:
Population: relapsed/refractory ALK+ ALCL with progressive disease after treatment (including chemotherapy and ALK inhibitor and/or brentuximab vedotin).
Primary endpoint: ORR = best objective response rate (CR+PR) within the first 24 weeks, assessed according to adapted Lugano 2014 response criteria for Lymphoma.
Design: A one-stage phase II trial with unacceptable ORR = 40% and promising ORR = 70%. 12 eligible and evaluable patients are required.
Cohort 2 Population: patients with a relapsed/refractory ALCL, having achieved CR with a treatment including ALK-inhibitor or Brentuximab vedotin of at least 2 months and for whom HSCT is considered for their consolidation therapy. In this case, nivolumab for 24 months would be considered as consolidative immunotherapy instead as HSCT.
Primary endpoint: progression-free survival (PFS) A PFS rate ≤ 50% will be considered as unacceptable. Design: A four-stage phase II trial with unacceptable PFS rate = 50% and promising PFS rate = 75%. A maximum of twenty-six patients will be included: 4 at the 1st and 2nd stages, 8 at the 3rd stage and 10 at the 4th stage.
No more than one third of the included patients must have received more than 12 months of ALK inhibitor or brentuximab. Thus, the inclusion of these patients will be closed after 8 patients.

Inclusion criteria
All criteria from I-1 to I-10 are required for all patients, in addition of the cohort-specific criteria
I-1. Histologically confirmed evidence of relapsed/refractory ALK+ ALCL. If biopsy could not be performed, relapsed/refractory status should be confirmed by molecular analysis whenever possible (increase of MRD quantitative PCR at 2 consecutive measures qualifying for a significant increase according to the same reference laboratory, with clinical signs and symptoms suggestive of progressing disease). In this case, relapsed/refractory status must be reviewed and confirmed by the international coordinating investigator.
I-2. Age at inclusion > 6 months
I-3. No washout needed, but patients must have recovered from acute toxic effects of all prior therapy before enrollment into the study. A short course of steroids is allowed at the beginning of Nivolumab if it is clinical indicated
I-4. Adequate organ function:
I-5. Performance status: Karnofsky performance status (for patients >12 years of age) or Lansky Play score (for patients ≤12 years of age) ≥ 40%.
I-6. Able to comply with the scheduled disease management (treatment and follow-up), and with the management of toxicity
I-7. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum β-HCG pregnancy test within 24 hours prior to initiation of treatment. Sexually active women of childbearing potential must agree to use acceptable and appropriate contraception during the study and for at least 5 months after the last study treatment administration. Sexually active males patients must agree to use condom during the study and for at least 7 months after the last study treatment administration.
I-8. Written informed consent from parents/legal representative, patient, and age-appropriate assent before any study-specific screening procedures are conducted according to local, regional or national guidelines.
I-9. Patient affiliated to a social security regimen or beneficiary of the same according to local requirements.
I-10. Patients will prior allogeneic HSCT may be included if clinically indicated (see non-inclusion criteria regarding prior allogeneic HSCT). In this case, study inclusion must be confirmed by the international coordinating investigator.
Cohort 1:
For being enrolled in Cohort 1, all criteria from C1.I-1 to C1.I-2 are required, in addition of I-1 to I-10 criteria C1.I-1. Measurable progressive disease with at least one lesion measuring more than 1.5 cm and/or evaluable disease on PET-CT C1.I-2. Previous treatment including chemotherapy and ALK inhibitor or brentuximab vedotin, if available.
Cohort 2:
For being enrolled in Cohort 2, all criteria from C2.I-1 to C2.I-2 are required, in addition of I-1 to I-10 criteria C2.I-1. Complete response (disappearance of all disease except for possible detection of MRD in blood and/or bone marrow) with an on-going treatment of at least 2 months with ALK inhibitor or brentuximab vedotin, if available combined or not with chemotherapy C2.I-2. High-risk relapsed/refractory ALK+ ALCL for whom an hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is considered after CR
Exclusion criteria
E-1. Patients with prior allogeneic HSCT less than 3 months before study inclusion
E-2. Patients with prior allogeneic HSCT and any active graft versus host disease (GVHD) and/or any prior grade 3 or 4 GVHD according to International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry (ITBMR)
E-3. Previous organ transplantation
E-4. Significant hemophagocytosis in bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes, or liver must be discussed with the Coordinating Sponsor before inclusion
E-5. Presence of any ≥ CTCAE grade 2 treatment-related toxicity with the exception of alopecia, fatigue and peripheral neuropathy.
E-6. History or evidence of severe uncontrolled illness that contra-indicates use of an investigational drug, or places the patient at unacceptable risk from treatment complications
E-7. History or evidence of severe acute or chronic infection unless fully healed at least four weeks prior to screening
E-8. Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
E-9. Positive test for hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBV sAg) or hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV antibody) indicating acute or chronic infection.
E-10. History or evidence of any auto-immune disease. Subjects with vitiligo, type I diabetes mellitus, residual hypothyroidism due to autoimmune condition only requiring hormone replacement, psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment, or conditions not expected to recur in the absence of an external trigger are permitted to enroll.
E-11. Subjects with another pathology requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (> 10 mg daily prednisone equivalents) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days of study drug administration. Inhaled or topical steroids, and adrenal replacement doses > 10 mg daily prednisone equivalents are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease.
E-12. Known hypersensitivity to any component of the products (study drug or ingredients)
E-13. Concurrent administration of any other antitumor therapy
E-14. Clinically significant, uncontrolled heart disease (including history of any cardiac arrhythmias, e.g., ventricular, supraventricular, nodal arrhythmias, or conduction abnormality within 12 months of screening).
E-15. Vaccinated with live attenuated vaccines within 4 weeks of the first dose of the study drug
E-16. Pregnant or breast-feeding female patient
E-17. Patient under guardianship or deprived of his liberty by a judicial or administrative decision, patients under safeguards of justice or incapable of giving its consent, patients undergoing psychiatric care under duress
