Inclusion criteria

* Patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma who have previously received autologous stem cell transplant. * Histologically confirmed CD30-positive disease; tissue from the most recent post diagnostic biopsy of relapsed/refractory disease must be available for confirmation of CD30 expression via slides or tumor block. * Fluorodeoxyglucose-avid disease by positron emission tomography and measurable disease of at least 1.5 cm as documented by spiral computed tomography. * At US sites patients greater than or equal to 12 years of age may be enrolled. At non-US sites patients must be greater than or equal to 18 years of age.

Exclusion criteria

* Previous treatment with brentuximab vedotin. * Previously received an allogeneic transplant. * Congestive heart failure, Class III or IV, by the New York Heart Association criteria. * History of another primary malignancy that has not been in remission for at least 3 years. * Known cerebral/meningeal disease.

Serious adverse events are reported from the time of informed consent. National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE version 3.0) were used to assess severity (1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, 4=life threatening/disabling, 5=death). Relatedness to study drug was assessed by the investigator (Yes/No). Participants with multiple occurrences of an adverse event within a category are counted once within the category.
