What was measured

Primary analysis will be based 1-sided log rank test comparison of EFS curves between the 2 randomized arms per intention-to-treat principle. Progression is defined as an ≥50% increase of in the product of the perpendicular diameters of any of the involved nodes or nodal masses or focal organ lesions in sites that were persistently PET positive; or recurrent PET positive lesions (Deauville 4, 5) in sites that had previously been PET negative regardless of change of size, as was the development of new PET avid measurable lesion(s) \>1.5cm in any axis, or new sites of assessable disease. Relapse is defined in patients who achieved a prior CR but subsequently has an increase of ≥50% of the PPD in prior nodal or extranodal sites in a recurrently PET positive lesion(s), or the development of new measurable lesion(s) \>1.5cm in any axis, or new sites of assessable disease. Second malignancy is defined based on report of a cancer that is not considered to be classic Hodgkin Lymphoma.

Analysis population: All the eligible patients who had undergone randomization

Groups in this outcome

Arm I (ABVE-PC)

Patients receive doxorubicin hydrochloride IV over on days 1-2, bleomycin sulfate IV or SC on days 1 and 8, vincristine sulfate IV on days 1 and 8, etoposide IV on days 1-3, prednisone orally PO BID or methylprednisolone IV on days 1-7, and cyclophosphamide IV on days 1 and 2. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 5 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM II (Bv-AVEPC)

Patients receive brentuximab vedotin IV on day 1. Patients also receive doxorubicin hydrochloride, etoposide, prednisone or methylprednisolone, and cyclophosphamide as in Arm I and vincristine sulfate IV on day 8. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 5 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

  1. group Description
    Assuming a 3-year EFS of 82% (5-year EFS of 78.4%, long term EFS of 76%) for standard arm, the study will have approximately 86% power for detecting an 8% improvement in 3-year EFS in the Bv-AVEPC arm (3-year EFS of 90%, 5-year EFS of 88.0%, long term EFS of 86.7%) in log rank test.
