Existing trials have shown brentuximab vedotin, a CD30-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), with vinblastine, as well as nivolumab monotherapy to have good efficacy and safety profiles in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma. Ian Flinn, MD, PhD, Tennessee Oncology, Nashville, TN, provides an overview of the trial design and rationale of the open-label, Phase II SGN35-027 trial (NCT03646123), which will investigate brentuximab vedotin in combination with nivolumab, doxorubicin, and dacarbazine in patients with newly diagnosed patients with early-stage Hodgkin lymphoma. This interview took place at the 63rd ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition congress in Atlanta, GA.
