Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objectives are to show efficacy of B-CAP and brentuximab vedotin monotherapy;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives are to show the safety and feasibility of B-CAP and brentuximab vedotin.;Primary end point(s): Primary endpoint of the study is the objective response rate (ORR), defined as the proportion of patients having CR, CRr or PR in the centrally reviewed restaging after six cycles of chemotherapy.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: see E.5.1

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary endpoints include the complete remission rate assessed after the end of treatment, progression-free survival (PFS) at three years, overall survival (OS), OSHL and PFSHL at three years (defined as OS and PFS but deaths for known reasons other than HL or toxicity of treatment are censored and not considered as failures), the frequency of adverse events and the relative dose intensity of the novel brentuximab vedotin-containing B-CAP regimen or brentuximab vedotin.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: see E.5.2
