First Line Therapy Evaluation Using Propensity Score Approach in Newly Diagnosed Advanced Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma Patients from Prospective Real-World Realysa Cohort and Phase 3 AHL2011 Trial

Background: AHL2011, a randomized phase III trial demonstrated that PET-CT after two cycles of BEACOPP escalatedchemotherapy safely guided treatment of patients aged 16-60 years with newly diagnosed advanced classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) and allowed the use of ABVD in early responders with reduced toxicities and no impaired disease control. REALYSA study, a real-life multicentric cohort set up in France since 2018, included 6000 newly diagnosed lymphoma patients with over 1000 cHL patients. In the present study, we investigated whether real-world data could reproduce results issued from a randomized phase III clinical trial using the propensity score approach.
