First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 30 times

Summary

This study tested whether a targeted drug called brentuximab vedotin (SGN-35) could replace the standard ICE chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant for people with Hodgkin lymphoma that came back or didn't go away. 66 patients received two cycles of SGN-35, and PET scans were used to see if they still needed more chemo. The goal was to see if a less toxic approach could still lead to a successful transplant and long-term disease control.
