Learning objective: After reading this article, learners will be able to cite a new clinical development in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.



Results from the phase III ECHELON-3 trial (NCT04404283) of brentuximab vedotin (BV) plus lenalidomide(Len) and rituximab (R) vs placebo (Pbo) plus Len and R in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who have received ≥2 prior lines of systemic therapy were presented at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting by Jeong.1


Key learnings:

The phase III ECHELON-3 trial met its primary endpoint of overall survival (OS).

The OS was 13.8 months (median follow up [mFU], 15.5 months) vs 8.5 months (mFU, 18.9 months) in the BV+Len+R and Pbo+Len+R arms, respectively (HR, 0.629; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.445–0.891; p = 0.0085).

BV+Len+R was associated with improved progression-free survival (PFS) and a higher complete response rate vs Pbo+Len+R: mPFS was 4.2 months vs 2.6 months (HR, 0.527; 95% CI, 0.380–0.729; p < 0.0001) and the ORR rates were 64.3% vs 41.5% (p < 0.0006), respectively.

The safety profile of BV+Len+R was consistent with that of the individual agents.

The results from the ECHELON-3 trial suggest that BV+Len+R could be a viable therapeutic option for the treatment of patients with R/R DLBCL, particularly those who cannot receive CAR T-cell therapy or bispecific antibodies or have R/R disease after these treatments.
