A new regimen built around brentuximab vedotin cured more patients with advanced Hodgkin lymphoma than the intensive BEACOPP standard, and did so with less toxicity, including less damage to fertility.
International randomised phase 3 trial of 1,500 patients with newly diagnosed advanced-stage classical Hodgkin lymphoma comparing PET-guided BrECADD (brentuximab vedotin, etoposide, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, dacarbazine and dexamethasone) with PET-guided escalated BEACOPP, four or six cycles depending on interim PET.
Four-year progression-free survival was 94.3 percent with BrECADD against 90.9 percent with escalated BEACOPP, and treatment-related morbidity was lower (about 42 versus 59 percent), with faster recovery of gonadal function. BrECADD is now the GHSG standard for advanced disease.
For fit younger patients treated in the intensive German tradition, BrECADD replaces escalated BEACOPP; how it compares with nivolumab-AVD from S1826 is the open question.
