Dr. Brammer on Brentuximab Vedotin for Patients With T-Cell Lymphoma

Jonathan E. Brammer, MD, assistant professor of hematology, Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, discusses brentuximab vedotin (Adcetris) for patients with T-cell lymphoma.

An issue in the landscape that is currently being explored is whether brentuximab vedotin is effective in the frontline setting as has been shown in Hodgkin lymphoma. Preliminary studies have shown that brentuximab vedotin does seem to have some efficacy in other CD30-positive T-cell lymphomas.
