Brentuximab Vedotin and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With CD30-Positive Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma

Running, not enrolling · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Adult T-Cell Leukemia/Lymphoma, Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma, ALK-Negative, Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma, ALK-Positive, Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma, Ann Arbor Stage II Noncutaneous Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma, Ann Arbor Stage III Noncutaneous Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma, Ann Arbor Stage IV Noncutaneous Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma, Enteropathy-Associated T-Cell Lymphoma, Hepatosplenic T-Cell Lymphoma, Mature T-Cell and NK-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma, Not Otherwise Specified

In brief

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well brentuximab vedotin and combination chemotherapy work in treating patients with CD30-positive peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Brentuximab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, brentuximab, linked to a toxic agent called vedotin. Brentuximab attaches to CD30 positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, etoposide, and prednisone work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving brentuximab vedotin and combination chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with CD30-positive peripheral T-cell lymphoma.

• Creatinine clearance of >= 60 mL/min per the Cockcroft-Gault formula
• Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) >= 45%
• Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP): negative urine or serum pregnancy test; if the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required

You may not qualify if…

• Prior treatment of PTCL with systemic anti-lymphoma therapies, investigational agents, radiation
• Exception: May have received 1 cycle of CHOP-like therapy (e.g. CHOP, CHOEP, EPOCH) or 1 cycle of CHP-BV; these participants must initiate day 1 cycle 1 of study therapy (CHEP-BV) no less than 19 days from prior CHOP-like or CHP-BV therapy; Patients who received 1 cycle of CHOP-like or 1 cycle of CHP-BV therapy prior to initiating induction with CHEP-BV are allowed to receive only 5 cycles of CHEP-BV instead of 6 cycles, per investigator's discretion
• History of another primary invasive cancer, hematologic malignancy, or myelodysplastic syndrome that has not been in remission for at least 3 years.
• Exceptions: Non-melanoma skin cancer and in situ cervical cancer

• Known severe hypersensitivity to any study related agent excipient(s)
• Females only: pregnant or breastfeeding
• Any other condition that would, in the investigator's judgement, contraindicate the patient's participation in the clinical study
• Prospective participants who, in the opinion of the investigator, may not be able to comply with all study procedures (including compliance issues related to feasibility/logistics)
