Graham Collins, MA, MBBS, MRCP, FRCPath, DPhil, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Oxford, UK, shares some insights into factors to consider when selecting between brentuximab vedotin and pembrolizumab when treating patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), citing the results of the KEYNOTE-204 trial (NCT02684292), which compared the two. Although this trial showed that pembrolizumab treatment resulted in a longer duration of remission and progression-free survival (PFS), Dr Collins explains that the sequencing of these agents will vary on a case-by-case basis, and comments on the importance of considering patient-specific factors when making treatment decisions. This interview took place at the 12th International Symposium on Hodgkin Lymphoma (ISHL12), held in Cologne, Germany.
