Adult T-Cell Leukemia/Lymphoma Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma, ALK-Negative Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma, ALK-Positive Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma Ann Arbor Stage II Noncutaneous Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma Ann Arbor Stage III Noncutaneous Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma Ann Arbor Stage IV Noncutaneous Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma Enteropathy-Associated T-Cell Lymphoma Hepatosplenic T-Cell Lymphoma Mature T-Cell and NK-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma, Not Otherwise Specified | Drug: Brentuximab Vedotin Drug: Cyclophosphamide Drug: Doxorubicin Drug: Doxorubicin Hydrochloride Drug: Etoposide Drug: Etoposide Phosphate Other: Laboratory Biomarker Analysis Drug: Prednisone | Phase 2 |
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Assess the safety and tolerability of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride (doxorubicin), etoposide phosphate (etoposide), prednisone, and brentuximab vedotin (CHEP-BV), as induction therapy in patients with CD30-positive peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). (Safety lead-in) II. Assess the anti-lymphoma activity of CHEP-BV as induction treatment in patients with CD30-positive PTCL. (Phase 2)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Describe outcomes of CD30-positive PTCL patients who go on to receive BV consolidation therapy post CHEP-BV induction with/without autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation/radiation.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. Explore the rate of minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity (as assessed by next-generation sequencing) and MRD kinetics after CHEP-BV and BV consolidation therapy in CD30-positive PTCL.
II. Explore the possible association between outcome after study treatment and CD30 expression, gene expression profiles (GEP), and genetic mutations as measured in PTCL tumor samples.
OUTLINE:
INDUCTION: Patients receive cyclophosphamide intravenously (IV) and doxorubicin IV on day 1, etoposide IV on days 1-3, and prednisone orally (PO) on days 1-5. Patients also receive brentuximab vedotin IV over approximately 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 cycles (or for up to 5 cycles for patients who received 1 cycle of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone [CHOP]-like or brentuximab vedotin, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone [CHP-BV] therapy prior to induction, per investigator's discretion) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
CONSOLIDATION: Between 30-60 days post-consolidative autologous stem cell therapy, post-consolidative radiation therapy, or after completing induction cycle 6 (cycle 5 for patients who qualify for receiving 5 cycles of CHEP-BV instead of 6), patients with objective response (complete response or partial response) receive brentuximab vedotin IV over approximately 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 10 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months.

- Complete response (CR) rate after cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, etoposide, prednisone, and brentuximab vedotin (CHEP-BV) induction therapy [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]Will be estimated by the proportion of evaluable patients achieving CR after CHEP-BV induction therapy, along with the 95% exact binomial confidence interval.
- Incidence of adverse events after CHEP-BV induction therapy [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]Will be summarized by type (organ affected or laboratory determination such as absolute neutrophil count), severity (by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [NCI CTCAE] version 4.0 and nadir or maximum values for lab measures), date of onset, duration, reversibility, and attribution. For cycle 1 only, all grade >= 2 adverse events (AEs) (highest grade or not) will also be collected.
- Incidence of adverse events of brentuximab vedotin (BV) consolidation after CHEP-BV induction therapy without autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT)/radiation [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]Will be summarized by type (organ affected or laboratory determination such as absolute neutrophil count), severity (by NCI CTCAE version 4.0 and nadir or maximum values for lab measures), date of onset, duration, reversibility, and attribution. For cycle 1 only, all grade >= 2 AEs (highest grade or not) will also be collected.
- Incidence of adverse events of BV consolidation after CHEP-BV induction therapy and ASCT/radiation [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]Will be summarized by type (organ affected or laboratory determination such as absolute neutrophil count), severity (by NCI CTCAE version 4.0 and nadir or maximum values for lab measures), date of onset, duration, reversibility, and attribution.
- Overall response rate after induction therapy [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]Will be estimated by the proportion of evaluable patients achieving overall response rate after induction therapy. Will be estimated along with the 95% exact binomial confidence interval.
- CR rate after BV consolidation therapy [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]Will be estimated by the proportion of evaluable patients achieving CR after BV consolidation therapy, along with the 95% exact binomial confidence interval.
- Progression-free survival [ Time Frame: The time from enrollment to the first observation of disease relapse/progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first assessed up to 1 year ]Will be estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier along with the Greenwood estimator of standard error.
