On 4 December 2018, the results of the global phase III trial ECHELON-2 trial were published in The Lancet by Steven Horwitz from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, USA, and colleagues.
ECHELON-2 (NCT01777152) is a global, double-blind, active-comparator, randomized, phase III trial that investigated the efficacy and safety of brentuximab vedotin plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (A+CHP) versus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) in patients with CD30+ peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). The primary endpoint of the trial was progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by a double-blinded Independent Central Review. Secondary endpoints included, overall survival (OS) as well as objective response rate, complete response (CR) rate, and PFS assessed by a blinded Independent Central Review.
