Summary
All participants in this study will be monitored for relapse of Hodgkin lymphoma by positron emission tomography (PET) scans commencing 60 days after allogeneic transplant, and then 3 monthly thereafter. Upon identification of relapse of Hodgkin lymphoma, participants will receive treatment with brentuximab 1.8mg/kg every 3 weeks intravenously. After 3 doses of brentuximab, patients will also commence donor lymphocyte infusions at an initial dose of 1x10^6 T cells/kg intravenously, escalating to a maximum of 1x10^8 T cells/kg in a graded fashion. Donor lymphocyte infusions will be administered once every 3 weeks for a total of up to 5 infusions. Participants will undergo PET scans to assess response every 3 months for 24 months.
