Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Brentuximab Vedotin + Bendamustine
Brentuximab vedotin 1.8 mg/kg every 3 weeks for up to 16 cycles by IV infusion and bendamustine 90 mg/m2 on Days 1 and 2 every 3 weeks by IV infusion for up to 6 cycles
|
Drug: brentuximab vedotin
1.8 mg/kg every 3 weeks by intravenous (IV) infusion
Other Name: Adcetris; SGN-35 Drug: bendamustine 90 mg/m2 on Days 1 and 2 of 3-week cycles |
- Complete Remission Rate [ Time Frame: Up to 4.6 months ]Complete remission rate among all subjects (Phase 1 and 2 combined) treated at the dose level selected for Phase 2. Complete remission (CR) per Cheson 2007 Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma is a disappearance of all evidence of disease.
- Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Up to 13.8 months ]All AEs reported after initiation of treatment and pre-existing conditions that worsen after initiation of treatment will be considered treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs). All AEs will be coded by system organ class, MedDRA preferred term, and severity grade using NCI CTCAE V4.03. All recorded AEs will be included in the data listings.
- Incidence of Dose-limiting Toxicities [ Time Frame: Up to 3 weeks; first cycle of therapy through the first day of Cycle 2 ]Incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was evaluated in an initial safety cohort of 10 patients who were followed for protocol-defined DLT events until Cycle 2 Day 1.
- Overall Best Response Rate [ Time Frame: Up to 4.6 months ]Percentage of participants who achieved a best response of complete remission (CR, disappearance of all evidence of disease), partial remission (PR, regression of greater than or equal to 50% of measurable disease and no new sites), stable disease (SD, failure to obtain a complete or partial response or progressive disease), or progressive disease (PD, any new lesion or increase by 50% or more of previously involved sites from nadir) per Cheson 2007 Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma
- Duration of Response [ Time Frame: Up to 47.8 months ]The time from first observation of remission to disease progression/relapse or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
- Progression-free Survival [ Time Frame: Up to 49 months ]The time from first dose of study medication to first documentation of disease progression/relapse, or to death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
