Marek Trněný, MD, Charles University Hospital, Prague, Czech Republic, discusses the Phase II CHEPA trial (NCT05006664), which investigates the efficacy of brentuximab vedotin combined with intensified chemotherapy (etoposide plus CHP) in patients with newly diagnosed CD30-positive peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). Prof. Trněný highlights that the CHEPA regimen has shown promising results, with a high complete remission rate, translating into encouraging 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates. In patients with anaplastic large cell lymphoma, the data were especially exciting: at a median follow-up of 19 months, the 18-month PFS and OS were both 100%. This interview took place at the 31st Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA) in Stockholm, Sweden.
