Summary

This phase II trial investigates how well brentuximab vedotin and bendamustine work in treating patients with follicular lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Brentuximab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, brentuximab, linked to a toxic agent called vedotin. Brentuximab attaches to CD30 positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. Chemotherapy drugs, such as bendamustine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. This trial is being done to determine if the combination of brentuximab vedotin plus bendamustine is safe and to determine the effectiveness of the combination.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests a combination of two cancer drugs — brentuximab vedotin (a targeted antibody that delivers chemotherapy directly to cancer cells) and bendamustine (a chemotherapy drug) — in people with follicular lymphoma that has come back or stopped responding to prior treatment and has a protein called CD30 on the cancer cells. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (grade I, II, or IIIa) that tests CD30-positive - You have measurable disease on CT or PET scan - You have received at least one prior treatment - You are in reasonably good health (ECOG performance status 0–2) - Your blood counts and organ function are within acceptable ranges **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your cancer does not have CD30 expression - You have another active cancer - You are pregnant or breastfeeding - You have active infections (HIV, hepatitis) - You have severe nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) - Your heart is not able to handle the treatment safely Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
