Experimental: Brentuximab Vedotin
Subjects randomized to the brentuximab vedotin arm will receive IV infusions of brentuximab vedotin followed by bendamustine on day 1, and rituximab followed by bendamustine on day 2 of each 21 day cycle.

- Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Approximately 1 year ]ORR is defined as the percentage of patients who achieve a Complete Response (CR) (including Complete Metabolic Response (CMR)) or Partial Response (PR) (including Partial Metabolic Response (PMR)) as best response to combination therapy on study
- Progression-free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Up to 11.8 months ]PFS is defined as the time from randomization to disease progression/relapse, receipt of subsequent lymphoma chemotherapy other than the components of the study treatment regimen, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
- Complete Remission (CR) Rate [ Time Frame: Approximately 1 year ]CRR is the proportion of patients who achieve CR (including Complete Metabolic Response (CMR)) as best response to combination therapy on study.
- Duration of Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: Up to 10.5 months ]DOR is defined as the time from first observation of response to disease progression/relapse, receipt of subsequent lymphoma chemotherapy other than the components of the study treatment regimen, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to 1.5 years ]OS is defined as the time randomization to death from any cause
- Number and Severity of Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Approximately 1 year ]All AEs are included in the summaries, unless treatment-emergent is specified.
