   description

   Patients with a history of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (ie, nodular sclerosing, mixed cellularity, lymphocyte-rich, lymphocyte-depleted) whose disease had progressed after receiving high-dose chemotherapy with AHSCT (if eligible) and/or after therapy with a gemcitabine- or vinorelbine- or vinblastine-containing regimen, were enrolled into this study. All patients were assigned to a daily dose of everolimus 10 mg (two 5-mg tablets), selfadministered orally and continuously from Cycle 1 Day 1 (Visit 2) until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, death, or discontinuation from the study for any other reason. A treatment cycle consisted of 28 days.

   at screening and every threee months beginning at cycle 3 until end of treatment due to progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, death or discontinuation from the study for any other reason

   description

   ORR: % of patients whose overall disease response was a complete response (CR) or a partial response (PR) in 8 cycles CR: Complete normalization of all index nodal \& extranodal lesions: Radiological regression to normal size of all lymph nodes \& nodal masses \& complete disappearance of all lesions PR: At least a 50% decrease in the SPD of all index nodal \& extranodal lesions FDG-avid or PET positive prior to therapy: one or more PET positive at previously involved site.At least a 50% increase in the SPD of all index nodal \& extranodal lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of the product of the diameters of all index lesions recorded at or after baseline . Lesions PET positive if FDG-avid lymphoma or PET positive prior to therapy. Unknown (UNK): Progression not documented \& one or more of the index lesions not assessed or assessed using a different method than baseline at the time of radiologic evaluation. Each cycle was 28 days.
