About this trial
RADAR is a multicentre, international, randomised, open-label phase III clinical trial composed of 2 trials running in parallel. Trial 1 will be led and sponsored by University College London (UCL) and conducted in Europe and Australia/New Zealand. Trial 2 will be led by the Canadian Cancer Trials Group (CCTG) and conducted in North America, with CCTG the regulatory sponsor in Canada, and University of Miami the regulatory sponsor and IND holder in the US. Datasets from Trial 1 and Trial 2 will be combined to achieve the total sample size. Data analysis will be performed by UCL and therefore UCL is responsible for the clinicaltrials.gov entry.
Eligible patients will be randomised to receive either ABVD or A2VD chemotherapy.
An interim PET-CT scan will be performed after 2 cycles of treatment, which will be used to adapt subsequent treatment. Patients will receive a total of 3-4 cycles of chemotherapy and may also receive involved site radiotherapy as consolidation.
Patients will be followed up for a minimum of 5 years after treatment.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Males and females aged 16-69 years (inclusive) (age range is 18-69 in US and EU)
Histologically confirmed classical Hodgkin lymphoma
Stage I or II supradiaphragmatic disease with no mediastinal bulk disease (defined as greater than a third of the transthoracic diameter at any level of thoracic vertebra as determined by CT) or B symptoms. Bulky disease at other sites is acceptable. Extranodal disease (single extranodal site (stage I) or contiguous nodal extension (stage II)) is acceptable.
ECOG performance status 0-2.
Disqualifiers
Previous treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma, excluding short courses of oral corticosteroids at a dose of 100mg prednisolone (or equivalent) for up to 7 days
Infradiaphragmatic disease
Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma
Absence of FDG-avid lesions on baseline PET scan

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Progression free survival (PFS)
Time from randomisation to first date of progression or death
Secondary outcomes
PET-CMR (complete metabolic response) rate
Proportion of patients who have Deauville score 1-3 on PET-CT scan
Event-free survival (EFS)
Time from randomisation to first date of progression, death or a positive PET2 scan (whichever occurs first)
Overall survival (OS)
Time from randomisation to death
Incidence of second cancers and cardiovascular disease
Proportion in each arm who develop a second cancer or cardiovascular disease
Other outcomes
Prognostic power of PET after 1 and 2 cycles of ABVD/A2VD
7A Associations between PET1 Deauville score (DS) and PET2 DS; 7B Associations between PET1 DS and EFS; 7C Associations between PET1 DS and OS; 7D Associations between PET1 DS and PFS; 7E Associations between PET2 DS and EFS; 7F Associations between PET2 DS and OS; 7G Associations between PET2 DS and PFS; 7H Associations between EORTC baseline stratification and PET1 DS; 7I Associations between EORTC baseline stratification and PET2 DS; 7J Associations between EORTC baseline stratification and EFS; 7K Associations between EORTC baseline stratification and OS; 7L Associations between EORTC baseline stratification and EFS; 7M Associations between GHSG baseline stratification and PET1 DS; 7N Associations between GHSG baseline stratification and PET2 DS; 7O Associations between GHSG baseline stratification and EFS; 7P Associations between GHSG baseline stratification and OS; 7Q Associations between GHSG baseline stratification and EFS
Prognostic and predictive power of baseline PET features
The association of baseline quantitative PET parameters such as total lesion glycolysis (TLG) and PFS/EFS/OS will be assessed. The ability to predict PET score (PET1 and PET2) and Hodgkin lymphoma events within 3 years will be compared: 8A Associations between baseline quantitative PET parameters such as total lesion glycolysis (TLG) and PFS; 8B Associations between baseline quantitative PET parameters such as total lesion glycolysis (TLG) and OS; 8C Associations between baseline quantitative PET parameters such as total lesion glycolysis (TLG) and EFS; 8D Associations between baseline quantitative PET parameters such as total lesion glycolysis (TLG) and PET1 DS; 8E Associations between baseline quantitative PET parameters such as total lesion glycolysis (TLG) and PET2 DS
Change in pulmonary function tests at end of treatment, 1 and 2 years
Change from baseline pulmonary function test (DLCO/TLCO percentage of normal) will be compared
Correlation between maximum tumour dimension at baseline and end of treatment with PFS
The relationship between maximum tumour dimension at baseline and at end of treatment and PFS will be examined. This may also be analysed within the groups that achieve/do not achieve CMR after 2 cycles and may also be adjusted for the use of consolidation radiotherapy
