Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Molecular analysis identifies residual disease by overcoming the sensitivity of imaging methods and therefore has the potential for integrating with therapy provided by FDG-PET alone. It is a well known fact that tumor DNA circulating in plasma (ctDNA) reflects the mutational profile of tumor cells and can be used to non-invasively detect specific mutations of Hodgkin's lymphoma without the need for microdissecting the histological sample.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A clinical need, not yet met for the Hodgkin lymphoma disease, brings about the early and accurate identification of chemo-refractory patients who require stepping up of treatment as also, patients with good prognosis receiving treatment de-escalation.Molecular methods identify residual disease by overcoming the sensitivity of imaging methods and therefore have the potential to integrate the response to therapy provided by FDG-PET alone.

ctDNA modification from the basal time point to the interim can be used as a predictor of response to the ABVD scheme and as a complement to the interim-PET in the possible variation of the therapeutic schedule.

Clinical data and peripheral blood samples (20 ml in EDTA tubes and 20 ml in Cell-Free DNA BCT tubes) will be collected during the clinico/laboratory visits that are planned as per clinical routine at the time of diagnosis, at each cycle of chemotherapy, at the time of interim PET/CT, at the time of end of treatment PET/CT and during follow up.
