  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Modified Progression-free Survival (mPFS) Per Independent Review Facility (IRF) [Baseline until PD or death or receipt of any subsequent anticancer therapy for HL after completion of frontline therapy (approximately up to 4 years)]

      mPFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first of documentation of progressive disease (PD), death due to any cause, or for participants who were confirmed non complete responders per IRF, receipt of subsequent anticancer therapy for Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) after completion of frontline therapy. PD was defined as any new lesion or increase by greater than or equal to (>=) 50 percent (%) of previously involved sites from nadir. Frontline therapy is the part of standard set of treatments.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Overall Survival (OS) [Baseline until death (approximately up to 4 years)]

      OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death. Participants without documented death at the time of analysis were censored at the date last known to be alive.

    2. Complete Remission (CR) Rate at the End of Randomized Regimen Per IRF [Baseline up to end of randomized regimen (approximately 1 year)]

      CR rate at the end of randomized regimen per investigator was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved CR at the end of treatment with randomized regimen (ABVD or A+AVD) as determined by IRF. CR was defined as disappearance of all evidence of disease.

    3. Number of Participants Who Experience at Least One Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) and Serious Adverse Event (SAE) [Baseline up to 30 days after last dose of study drug (approximately 1 year)]

    4. Number of Participants With Abnormal Clinical Laboratory Values [Baseline up to 30 days after last dose of study drug (approximately 1 year)]

    5. Event-free Survival (EFS) Per IRF [Baseline until PD or discontinuation of treatment or death, whichever occurs first (approximately up to 4 years)]

      EFS was defined as the time from randomization until any cause of treatment failure: PD, premature discontinuation of randomized treatment for any reason, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. PD was defined as any new lesion or increase by >=50% of previously involved sites from nadir per IRF.

    6. Disease-free Survival (DFS) Per IRF [From CR until PD or death (approximately up to 4 years)]

      DFS per IRF was defined as the time from CR to disease progression as determined by an IRF or to death from lymphoma or acute toxicity from treatment. CR was defined as disappearance of all evidence of disease.

    7. Overall Response Rate (ORR) Per IRF [Baseline up to end of randomized regimen (approximately 1 year)]

      ORR per IRF was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved CR or partial remission (PR) at the end of treatment with randomized regimen (ABVD or A+AVD) as determined by an IRF. CR was defined as disappearance of all evidence of disease. PR was defined as regression of measurable disease and no new sites.

    8. Duration of Response (DOR) Per IRF [From first documented response until PD (approximately 4 years)]

      DOR per IRF in participants with response was the time between first documentation of response (PR or CR) and PD as determined by an IRF. PD was defined as any new lesion or increase by >=50% of previously involved sites from nadir. CR was defined as disappearance of all evidence of disease. PR was defined as regression of measurable disease and no new sites.

    9. Duration of Complete Remission (DOCR) Per IRF [From first documentation of CR until PD (approximately 4 years)]

      DOCR per IRF in participants with CR was the time between first documentation of CR and PD as determined by an IRF. PD was defined as any new lesion or increase by >=50% of previously involved sites from nadir. CR was defined as disappearance of all evidence of disease.

    10. Percentage of Participants Not in CR Per IRF Who Received Subsequent Radiation After Completion of Frontline Therapy [Baseline up to end of frontline therapy (approximately 4 years)]

      CR was defined as disappearance of all evidence of disease as determined by an IRF.

    11. Complete Remission (CR) Per IRF Rate at the End of Frontline Therapy [Baseline up to end of frontline therapy (approximately 4 years)]

      CR rate at the end of frontline therapy per IRF was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved CR at the end of frontline therapy that is after completion of either randomized regimen or alternate frontline therapy as determined by an IRF. CR was defined as disappearance of all evidence of disease.

    12. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Negativity Rate Per IRF at Cycle 2 [Cycle 2 Day 25]

      PET negativity rate at Cycle 2 was defined as the percentage of participants with negative Cycle 2 PET results defined as Deauville score less than or equal to (<=) 3 at Cycle 2. The Deauville score according to IRF assessment of response was used to evaluate the results of PET scans.

    13. A+AVD: Cmax: Maximum Observed Serum Concentration for Brentuximab Vedotin Antibody-drug Conjugate (ADC) and Total Antibody (TAb) [Cycle 1 Day 1 and Cycle 3 Day 1: pre-dose and at multiple timepoints (up to 48 hours) post-dose]

    14. A+AVD: Cmax: Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration for Brentuximab Vedotin Monomethyl Auristatin E (MMAE) [Cycle 1 Day 1 and Cycle 3 Day 1: pre-dose and at multiple timepoints (up to 48 hours) post-dose]

    15. A+AVD: AUCinf: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to Infinity for Brentuximab Vedotin ADC and TAb [Cycle 1 Day 1: pre-dose and at multiple timepoints (up to 48 hours) post-dose]

    16. A+AVD: AUCinf: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to Infinity for Brentuximab Vedotin MMAE [Cycle 1 Day 1: pre-dose and at multiple timepoints (up to 48 hours) post-dose]

    17. A+AVD: Number of Participants With Antitherapeutic Antibody (ATA) and Neutralizing Antitherapeutic Antibody (nATA) Positive for Brentuximab Vedotin [Baseline up to end of treatment (approximately 1 year)]

      The nATA positive was defined as positive ATA with neutralizing activity at any postbaseline visit.

    18. Change From Baseline in Patient-Reported Outcome (PRO) Scores by mPFS Based on European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire-C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) at EOT [Baseline up to end of treatment (approximately 1 year)]

      EORTC QLQ-C30 included 30 items across 5 functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), 9 symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties) and global health status/QOL scale. It has 28 questions (4-point scale where 1=not at all [best] to 4=Very Much [worst]) and 2 questions (7-point scale where 1=very poor [worst] to 7= excellent [best]). Raw scores were converted into scale scores from 0 to 100. For functional scales and global health status/QOL scale, higher scores show better QOL; for symptom scales, lower scores show better QOL. mPFS was time from date of randomization to date of first of documentation of PD, death due to any cause, or for participants who were confirmed non complete responders per IRF, receipt of subsequent anticancer therapy for HL after completion of frontline therapy. PD is any new lesion or increase by >=50% of previously involved sites from nadir.

    Title Change From Baseline in Patient-Reported Outcome (PRO) Scores by mPFS Based on European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire-C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) at EOT
    Description EORTC QLQ-C30 included 30 items across 5 functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), 9 symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties) and global health status/QOL scale. It has 28 questions (4-point scale where 1=not at all [best] to 4=Very Much [worst]) and 2 questions (7-point scale where 1=very poor [worst] to 7= excellent [best]). Raw scores were converted into scale scores from 0 to 100. For functional scales and global health status/QOL scale, higher scores show better QOL; for symptom scales, lower scores show better QOL. mPFS was time from date of randomization to date of first of documentation of PD, death due to any cause, or for participants who were confirmed non complete responders per IRF, receipt of subsequent anticancer therapy for HL after completion of frontline therapy. PD is any new lesion or increase by >=50% of previously involved sites from nadir.
    Time Frame Baseline up to end of treatment (approximately 1 year)

    Adverse Events

    Time Frame TEAEs are adverse events that started after the first dose of study drug and no more than 30 days (approximately 1 year) for a serious adverse event after the last dose of study drug
    Adverse Event Reporting Description At each visit the investigator had to document any occurrence of adverse events and abnormal laboratory findings. Any event spontaneously reported by the participant or observed by the investigator was recorded, irrespective of the relation to study treatment. The safety population included all enrolled participants who received at least 1 dose of any study drug.
