Patients with previously untreated high-risk pediatric lymphoma can now receive treatment with brentuximab vedotin with the FDA’s nod of approval.

Findings from a randomized phase 3 trial indicated that brentuximab vedotin plus chemotherapy yielded a higher event-free survival rate and lowered the risk of death compared with chemotherapy alone among patients with advanced-stage Hodgkin Lymphoma.

Real-world results from the retrospective SCHOLAR-2 study provided a benchmark for survival in patients with relapsed or recurrent refractory mantle cell lymphoma who received salvage therapy following failure of initial Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy.
