Abstract
This report focuses on a post hoc exploratory analysis of the phase 3 keynote-204 study comparing pembrolizumab and brentuximab vedotin by number of prior lines of therapy in participants with relapsed/refractory (r/r) classical hodgkin lymphoma (chl). of 304 participants randomly assigned (1: 1) to pembrolizumab or brentuximab vedotin, 55 received 1 prior therapy and 249 received ≥2. For 1 prior therapy, median progression-free survival (PFS) at primary analysis (including clinical imaging data after autologous stem cell transplant [auto-SCT]) was 16.4 months with pembrolizumab and 8.4 months with brentuximab vedotin; objective response rate (ORR) was 66.7% and 53.6%. For ≥2 prior therapies, median PFS at primary analysis was 12.6 months with pembrolizumab and 8.2 months with brentuximab vedotin; ORR was 65.3% and 54.4%. Pembrolizumab improved PFS and ORR versus brentuximab vedotin regardless of prior therapies. Data suggest pembrolizumab may be a promising second-line therapy for participants with R/R cHL ineligible for auto-SCT.
期刊介绍:
Leukemia & Lymphoma in its fourth decade continues to provide an international forum for publication of high quality clinical, translational, and basic science research, and original observations relating to all aspects of hematological malignancies. The scope ranges from clinical and clinico-pathological investigations to fundamental research in disease biology, mechanisms of action of novel agents, development of combination chemotherapy, pharmacology and pharmacogenomics as well as ethics and epidemiology. Submissions of unique clinical observations or confirmatory studies are considered and published as Letters to the Editor
