On December 10, 2013, Seattle Genetics, Inc. (Seattle Genetics) announced updated results from a phase 2 clinical trial of ADCETRIS (brentuximab vedotin) in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and other B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas. "In DLBCL, patients with relapsed or refractory disease have poor outcomes, and there is a significant need for better therapeutic approaches to treat this aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma subtype," said Jonathan Drachman, M.D., Chief Medical Officer and Executive Vice President, Research and Development at Seattle Genetics. "We are encouraged by the interim phase 2 results which demonstrated that single-agent ADCETRIS induced a 42 percent objective response rate and manageable safety profile among advanced DLBCL patients, including a high percentage whose disease was refractory to their prior therapy. Based on these data, we have expanded our clinical program for ADCETRIS in DLBCL both as a single-agent and in combination with standard regimens for both relapsed and newly diagnosed patients."
