Brentuximab Vedotin Ups Survival After SCT in Hodgkin's

For patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma, brentuximab vedotin is associated with improved progression-free survival when given as early consolidation after autologous stem-cell transplant, according to a study published online March 18 in The Lancet . Craig H. Moskowitz, M.D., from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, and colleagues conducted a randomized double-blind trial at 78 sites in North America and Europe to examine whether brentuximab vedotin improves progression-free survival in Hodgkin's lymphoma.
