b-v, brentuximab vedotin.

*

Patients with a best response of CR (n = 16) or PR (n = 2) on treatment who are still on study and in remission without the start of new anticancer therapy, other than allogeneic stem cell transplant. The 2 patients with a PR to brentuximab vedotin achieved CR subsequent to transplant.

Patients with a best response of CR or PR on treatment who experienced progressive disease, initiated new therapy, or discontinued from the study for reasons including death, lost to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, and investigator decision.

Best response of CR or PR to most recent prior therapy.

§

No CR or relapse within 3 months of front-line therapy.
