Introduction Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (chl) is characterized by expression of PD-L1 and PD-L2 on malignant Reed Sternberg cells and on inflammatory cells in the tumor microenvironment PD-L1 expression in chl frequently occurs in the setting of genetic amplication of the 9p24.1 locus Prognosis for patients with relapsed chl is poor PD-L1 expression in chl Copy Gain Amplication PD-L1/L2 copy gains and amplication visible by FISH Chen BJ, et al.

OPDIVO (Nivolumab) OPDIVO (nivolumab) is indicated for the treatment of patients with chl that has relapsed or progressed after ASCT and post-transplantation BV. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verication and description of clinical benet in conrmatory trials. Institut Institut Català Català d Oncologia d'oncologia

Comments The advent of check point inhibitors (nivolumab, pembrolizumab) will be changing the therapeutic landscape of patients with relapsed / refractory HL High response rates / durable remissions Manageable toxicity prole The impact on SCT indications / toxicities remains to be seen All data in relapsed / refractory patients support a quick clinical development to earlier phases of the disease Institut Institut Català Català d Oncologia d'oncologia
