BOTHELL, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Seattle Genetics, Inc. (Nasdaq:SGEN) today announced data from its ADCETRIS® (brentuximab vedotin) clinical development program at the 61st American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition taking place December 7-10 in Orlando, Fla. ADCETRIS is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) directed to CD30, a defining marker of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and expressed on the surface of several types of peripheral T-cell lymphomas. ADCETRIS is being evaluated globally as the foundation of care for CD30-expressing lymphomas in more than 70 corporate- and investigator-sponsored clinical trials.
“At this year’s ASH meeting, ADCETRIS will be featured in 15 data presentations, including updated analyses from ECHELON-1 and ECHELON-2 phase 3 frontline trials,” said Roger Dansey, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at Seattle Genetics. “We are encouraged by the ECHELON-1 update supporting a sustained progression-free survival benefit for ADCETRIS in combination with AVD when compared to ABVD in advanced classical Hodgkin lymphoma and additional analyses from trials evaluating ADCETRIS in combination with nivolumab. We continue to invest in our ADCETRIS clinical development program with the goal of improving outcomes for patients.”
