What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Progression-free Survival Per Independent Review Facility (IRF)
The time from the date of randomization to the date of first documentation of progressive disease (PD), death due to any cause, or receipt of subsequent anticancer chemotherapy to treat residual or progressive disease whichever occurred first.
Measured: Up to 60 months
Secondary outcomes (6)
Progression-free Survival Per IRF in Patients With Systemic Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (sALCL)
The time from the date of randomization to the date of first documentation of progressive disease (PD), death due to any cause, or receipt of subsequent anticancer chemotherapy to treat residual or progressive disease whichever occurred first.
Measured: Up to 60 months
Complete Remission (CR) Rate Per IRF at End of Treatment (EOT)
The count of participants with CR per IRF following the completion of study treatment (at end of treatment or at the first assessment after the last dose of study treatment and prior to long-term follow-up) according to the Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma.
Measured: Up to 8.34 months
Overall Survival (OS)
The time from randomization to death due to any cause.
Measured: Up to 90 months
Objective Response Rate (ORR) Per IRF at End of Treatment
The count of participants with CR or partial response (PR) per IRF following the completion of study treatment (at end of treatment or the first assessment after the last dose of study treatment and prior to long-term follow-up) according to the Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma.
Measured: Up to 8.34 months
Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs)
Any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigational participant administered a medicinal product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.
Measured: Up to 8.28 months
Incidence of Laboratory Abnormalities
Number of participants who experienced a Grade 3 or higher laboratory toxicity.
Measured: Up to 8.28 months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing brentuximab vedotin, doxorubicin and prednisone in people with Anaplastic Large-Cell Lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, run by Seagen Inc. at 144 sites in 16 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 144 sites in United States, France, Italy, Australia, Germany and 11 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Jul 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Progression-free Survival Per Independent Review Facility (IRF) (time frame: Up to 60 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01777152, which also lists 5 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Nov 2021.
