About this study
Official title: A Phase 4, Open-label, Single-Arm Study of Brentuximab Vedotin in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Systemic Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma
The purpose of this study is to assess the antitumor efficacy of single-agent brentuximab vedotin 1.8 mg/kg administered intravenously (IV) every 3 weeks, as measured by the overall objective response rate (ORR) in patients with r/r sALCL following at least 1 multiagent chemotherapy regimen (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride [hydroxydaunorubicin], vincristine sulfate [Oncovin], and prednisone [CHOP] or equivalent multiagent chemotherapy regimens with curative intent).

Also called SGN-35, ADCETRIS
Brentuximab vedotin IV infusion
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Brentuximab Vedotin 1.8 mg/kg | Experimental | Participants received brentuximab vedotin 1.8 mg/kg as a 30 minute intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1 of each 3 week cycle. Participants with stable disease or better and without unacceptable toxicity were to receive a minimum of 8 cycles with the opportunity to receive a maximum of 16 cycles. Receives: Drug: Brentuximab vedotin |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with a complete remission (CR) or partial remission (PR) by Independent Review Facility (IRF) response assessment according to the International Working Group (IWG) Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma. CR is defined as the disappearance of all evidence of disease and PR is defined as regression of measurable disease and no new sites.
Measured: Up to data cut-off date: 04 May 2021 (Up to approximately 7 years)
Secondary outcomes (10)
Duration of Response (DOR) Per IRF
DOR was defined as the time between initial response and documented tumor progression in the subset of participants who achieved an objective response, either CR or PR. DOR per IRF was based upon the radiological assessment of measured lesions from an independent review facility. DOR was censored on the date of the last disease assessment documenting absence of progressive disease (PD) for participants who were lost to follow-up, withdrew consent, started a new anticancer therapy other than stem cell transplant (SCT), or discontinued treatment due to undocumented PD after the last adequate disease assessment.
Measured: Until disease progression, death, or the data cut-off date: 4 May 2021 (Up to approximately 7 years)
Progression-free Survival (PFS) Per IRF
PFS is defined as the time from start of study treatment to first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death due to any cause, whichever comes first. PFS per IRF is based upon the radiological assessment from an independent review facility.
Measured: Until disease progression, death, or the data cut-off date: 4 May 2021 (Up to approximately 7 years)
Complete Remission Rate (CRR) Per IRF
CRR is defined as percentage of participants with CR. CR is defined as the disappearance of all evidence of disease.
Measured: Until disease progression, death, or the data cut-off date: 4 May 2021 (Up to approximately 7 years)
Overall Survival (OS)
OS is defined as the time from start of study treatment to date of death due to any cause.
Measured: Until disease progression, death, or end of study (Up to approximately 10.7 years)
Percentage of Participants Receiving Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (SCT) Following Treatment With Brentuximab Vedotin
Measured: Until disease progression, death, or end of study (Up to approximately 10.7 years)
Percentage of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious TEAEs, Related TEAEs and TEAEs by Severity (Grade 3 or Higher)
An adverse event (AE): any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product; the untoward medical occurrence does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product whether or not it is related to medicinal product. TEAE was defined as any AE that started after the first administration of study drug in this continuation study. Serious TEAEs: defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of an existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is a medically important event.
Measured: From first dose up to 30 days post last dose of study drug (Up to approximately 1 year)
Concentration of Serum Antibody-drug Conjugate (ADC) at the End of Infusion
Measured: Cycle 1, Day 1 and Cycle 3, Day 1 at the end of infusion
Concentration of Serum Total Antibody (TAb) Conjugate Plus Free Total Antibody
Measured: Cycle 1, Day 1 and Cycle 3, Day 1 at the end of infusion
Maximum Concentration for Unconjugated Drug- Monomethyl Auristatin E (MMAE)
Measured: Cycle 1, Day 1 and Cycle 3, Day 1 at the end of infusion
Percentage of Participants With Presence of Anti-Therapeutic Antibodies (ATA) and Neutralizing Antibodies (NAb) to Brentuximab Vedotin
Measured: Up to 16 cycles (each cycle = 21 days)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Brentuximab vedotin in people with Lymphoma, run by Takeda at 40 sites in 10 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 6 inclusion and 7 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 19 Sep 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 40 sites in Turkey (Türkiye), Spain, Belgium, Czechia, Poland and 5 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
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 26 May 2022). 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?
Objective Response Rate (ORR) (time frame: Up to data cut-off date: 04 May 2021 (Up to approximately 7 years)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 19 Sep 2025.
