Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

All criteria from I-1 to I-10 are required for all patients, in addition of the cohort-specific criteria

I-1. Histologically confirmed evidence of relapsed/refractory ALK+ ALCL. If biopsy could not be performed, relapsed/refractory status should be confirmed by molecular analysis whenever possible (increase of MRD quantitative PCR at 2 consecutive measures qualifying for a significant increase according to the same reference laboratory, with clinical signs and symptoms suggestive of progressing disease). In this case, relapsed/refractory status must be reviewed and confirmed by the international coordinating investigator.

I-2. Age at inclusion \> 6 months

I-3. No washout needed, but patients must have recovered from acute toxic effects of all prior therapy before enrollment into the study. A short course of steroids is allowed at the beginning of Nivolumab if it is clinical indicated

I-4. Adequate organ function:

* Peripheral absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥750/μL in patients without bone marrow involvement and ≥500/μL in patients with bone marrow involvement (unsupported)
* Platelet count ≥75,000/μL in patients without bone marrow involvement and 50 000 in patients with bone marrow involvement (unsupported)
* Hemoglobin ≥8.0 g/dL (transfusion is allowed)
* Serum creatinine ≤1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) for age
* Total bilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN in patients without liver involvement and \< 2.5 ULN in patients with liver involvement
* Alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) ≤3 x ULN in patients without liver involvement and \< 5 ULN in patients with liver involvement
* Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase/SGOT ≤3 x ULN in patients without liver involvement and \< 5 ULN in patients with liver involvement

I-5. Performance status: Karnofsky performance status (for patients \>12 years of age) or Lansky Play score (for patients ≤12 years of age) ≥ 40%.

I-6. Able to comply with the scheduled disease management (treatment and follow-up), and with the management of toxicity

I-7. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum β-HCG pregnancy test within 24 hours prior to initiation of treatment. Sexually active women of childbearing potential must agree to use acceptable and appropriate contraception during the study and for at least 5 months after the last study treatment administration. Sexually active males patients must agree to use condom during the study and for at least 7 months after the last study treatment administration.

I-8. Written informed consent from parents/legal representative, patient, and age-appropriate assent before any study-specific screening procedures are conducted according to local, regional or national guidelines.

I-9. Patient affiliated to a social security regimen or beneficiary of the same according to local requirements.

I-10. Patients will prior allogeneic HSCT may be included if clinically indicated (see non-inclusion criteria regarding prior allogeneic HSCT). In this case, study inclusion must be confirmed by the international coordinating investigator.

Cohort 1:

For being enrolled in Cohort 1, all criteria from C1.I-1 to C1.I-2 are required, in addition of I-1 to I-10 criteria C1.I-1. Measurable progressive disease with at least one lesion measuring more than 1.5 cm and/or evaluable disease on PET-CT C1.I-2. Previous treatment including chemotherapy and ALK inhibitor or brentuximab vedotin, if available.

Cohort 2:

For being enrolled in Cohort 2, all criteria from C2.I-1 to C2.I-2 are required, in addition of I-1 to I-10 criteria C2.I-1. Complete response (disappearance of all disease except for possible detection of MRD in blood and/or bone marrow) with an on-going treatment of at least 2 months with ALK inhibitor or brentuximab vedotin, if available combined or not with chemotherapy C2.I-2. High-risk relapsed/refractory ALK+ ALCL for whom an hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is considered after CR

Exclusion Criteria:

E-1. Patients with prior allogeneic HSCT less than 3 months before study inclusion

E-2. Patients with prior allogeneic HSCT and any active graft versus host disease (GVHD) and/or any prior grade 3 or 4 GVHD according to International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry (ITBMR)

E-3. Previous organ transplantation

E-4. Significant hemophagocytosis in bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes, or liver must be discussed with the Coordinating Sponsor before inclusion

E-5. Presence of any ≥ CTCAE grade 2 treatment-related toxicity with the exception of alopecia, fatigue and peripheral neuropathy.

E-6. History or evidence of severe uncontrolled illness that contra-indicates use of an investigational drug, or places the patient at unacceptable risk from treatment complications

E-7. History or evidence of severe acute or chronic infection unless fully healed at least four weeks prior to screening

E-8. Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
