Inclusion Criteria

• •Patients must have primary refractory or first relapse of cluster of differentiation 30 (CD30)+ Hodgkin lymphoma

• •Platelets \>= 100,000/uL (without transfusion or growth factor support), performed within 28 days prior to registration
• •Serum creatinine \< 1.5 mg/dl or creatinine clearance (CrCl) \> 60 mL/min, performed within 28 days prior to registration
• •Total bilirubin \< 2 times upper limit of normal (unless due to Gilbert's syndrome), performed within 28 days prior to registration
