This information is provided directly by researchers, and we recognise that it isn't always easy to understand. We are working with researchers to improve the accessibility of this information. In some summaries, you may come across links to external websites. These websites will have more information to help you better understand the study.


Researchers are looking for a way to treat classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) that is relapsed (the cancer has come back after treatment) or refractory (current treatment has stopped working to slow or stop cancer growth). Researchers want to learn if people who receive coformulated favezelimab/pembrolizumab (MK-4280A) live longer without the cancer getting worse compared to those who receive chemotherapy.

Start dates may differ between countries and research sites. The research team are responsible for keeping the information up-to-date.
