About this study

Patients will receive 6 cycles of Nivo40-AVD with interim and EOT PET/CT scan. Interim PET/CT will not affect clinical decisions and is done as part of the study on response predictors after first line PD-1 inhibitor therapy. In patients achieving only partial metabolic response after 6 cycles (Deauville score ≥ 4) radiation therapy is allowed.
