Outcomes and Timepoint

Section to complete information about primary and secondary outcomes including. It includes the metric or method of measurement used and, the time point for every outcome.

Primary outcome(s):

Grade 3-5 adverse events with a proven causal relationship to the monoclonal antibody Anti-PD1 2C12 treatment (The proportion of patients who develop grade 3-5 adverse events with a proven causal relationship (definite, very probable or probable)). Measurement time: Up to 30 days after the last dose of treatment.

Key secondary outcomes:

1.Adverse Events-AE (-Occurrence of the EA in the subject (Yes, No); Description of the EA (name of the EA presented); Organ and system (based on anatomical or physiological system, etiology or purpose); -Duration of the EA (difference between the start and end dates of the EA, and hours in case of a duration of less than 24 hours); Intensity of the adverse event (Mild, Moderate, Severe, life-threatening or disabling adverse event, and fatal adverse event); Severity of the AE (Serious, Not serious); Attitude towards the treatment under study (no changes in dose, temporary or permanent interruption of the treatment under study); Result of the EA (recovered/resolved, improving/in resolution, persistent/unresolved, with sequelae requiring treatment); Causal relationship (1. Definite, 2. Very Probable, 3. Probable, 4. Possible, 5. Not related, 6. Unknown). Measurement time: up to 30 days after the last dose of treatment received and up to a maximum of 24 months. 2. Antibodies against the monoclonal antibody Anti-PD1 2C12 (Positive, Negative). Measurement time: At baseline and, every 12 weeks while the treatment is maintained. 3. Neutralizing antibodies against the Anti-PD1 2C12 monoclonal antibody (Positive, Negative). Measurement time: At baseline and, every 12 weeks while the treatment is maintained. 4. Objective response rate (Proportion of patients who achieve complete response-CR or partial response-PR according to Cheson-Lugano criteria). Measurement time: At baseline, at weeks 12; 24; 48; 72 and at 24 months or patient death 5. Progression-free survival-PFS (Time from the start of treatment until objective disease progression or death of the patient from any cause). Measurement time: 24 months. 6. Overall survival-OS (Time from the start of treatment until the patient's death from any cause, or until the date of last news). Measurement time: 24 months. 7. Duration of response (Time from the first documentation of CR or PR to the first evidence of relapse, progression, or death from any cause). Measurement time: 24 months.

Selection criterias

Maximum age:

None

Inclusion criteria:

1. Confirmed histological diagnosis of classical Hodgkin lymphoma. 2. Relapsed or refractory disease after at least two previous lines of standard treatment (including chemotherapy and, where possible, autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation). 3. Age ≥ 18 years at the time of inclusion. 4. Previous cancer-specific treatment more than six weeks before inclusion. 5. Functional status with an ECOG score ≤ 2, according to the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group scale. 6.

If TSH is not within normal limits at baseline, the participant may be eligible if free T3 and T4 are within normal limits. TSH < 10 miU/L will be accepted in patients with known controlled hypothyroidism. 7. Commitment to use contraceptive methods, from the signing of the informed consent until six months after the administration of the last dose of the Anti-PD1 2C12 monoclonal antibody, in men or women of childbearing age. 8. Life expectancy of at least three months. 9. Voluntary participation in the research through the signing of an informed consent form.

Exclusion criteria:

1. History of hypersensitivity or allergy to any of the components of the investigational product. 2. Prior treatment with another anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 antibody in the last three months. 3. Currently receiving other investigational medications. 4. Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic immunosuppression at the time of inclusion or that has required systemic treatment within the past two years (e.g., disease-modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs). Patients with the following conditions are excluded from this criterion: - Type 1 diabetes mellitus (insulin replacement therapy) -Hipotiroidismo controlado (tratamiento de reemplazo con tiroxina) -Vitiligo or psoriasis that do not require systemic treatment - Physiological replacement therapies with corticosteroids for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, which are not considered systemic immunosuppression 5. Current use of systemic immunosuppressants or in the 14 days prior to the start of treatment (except corticosteroids at doses ≤ 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent). 6. Severe active infection or any other active infection requiring intravenous systemic therapy at the time of inclusion, including, but not limited to: tuberculosis, uncontrolled hepatitis B or C, untreated HIV. 7. Pregnant women, women who are breastfeeding or of childbearing age who are unwilling to use contraceptive methods throughout the study. 8. Positive pregnancy test at the time of selection (only applies to women of childbearing age). 9. History of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with active graft-versus-host disease. 10. Presence of another active malignant neoplasm other than Hodgkin lymphoma, except basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, superficial bladder cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix. 11. Uncontrolled serious medical conditions (e.g., heart failure, advanced lung disease) that may interfere with safe participation in the study. 12. Decompensated comorbidities or acute complications of the primary disease that compromise life, such as massive pleural effusion or pericardial effusion, during the informed consent process or evaluation for inclusion. 13. Interstitial lung disease or a history of pneumonitis requiring oral or intravenous steroids at the evaluation stage for inclusion. 14. Pulmonary lymphangitis, bleeding or perforation of an organ. 15. Concomitant diseases that increase the risk of immune-related adverse events. 16. Metastasis to the central nervous system or carcinomatous meningitis. 17. History of psychiatric or cognitive disorders, or substance addiction that prevents cooperation with the requirements of the study. 18. Inability to comply with scheduled visits and evaluations.
