Data represent BV and anti-PD-1 therapies in newly diagnosed cHL.

CRR, complete response rate; DTIC, dacarbazine; Pem, pembrolizumab.

*

Includes unfavorable cHL.

CR rate 67% by central review and 80% by investigators.

PET-CR rate was 37% after pembrolizumab monotherapy and 100% after AVD × 2 cycles.

§

Concomitant nivo+AVD received 4 cycles of nivo+AVD; the sequential arm received nivolumab × 4 cycles→nivo+AVD × 2 cycles→AVD × 2 cycles followed by 30 Gy involved-site radiation therapy.
