Head-to-Head cancer drug showdown: which treatment helps patients live longer?

NCT ID NCT02684292

Summary

This study compared two different drugs for people whose Hodgkin lymphoma returned or didn't respond to previous treatment. Researchers tested whether pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) worked better than brentuximab vedotin (a targeted therapy) at keeping the cancer from progressing and helping patients live longer. The trial involved 304 participants who received one of the two treatments for up to 35 cycles.
