Durable remissions in a pivotal phase 2 study of brentuximab vedotin in relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: We present response and survival outcomes of a pivotal phase 2 trial of the antibody-drug conjugate brentuximab vedotin in patients with relapsed/refractory Hodgkin lymphoma following autologous stem cell transplant (N = 102) after a median observation period of approximately 3 years. Median overall survival and progression-free survival were estimated at 40.5 months and 9.3 months, respectively. Improved outcomes were observed in patients who achieved a complete remission (CR) on brentuximab vedotin, with estimated 3-year overall survival and progression-free survival rates of 73% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 57%, 88%) and 58% (95% CI: 41%, 76%), respectively, in this group (medians not reached). Of the 34 patients who obtained CR, 16 (47%) remain progression-free after a median of 53.3
