The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use of the European Medicine Agency has adopted a positive opinion for the extension of the marketing authorization of Adcetris (brentuximab vedotin) and recommended its approval in combination with doxorubicin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine—or AVD—in adult patients with previously untreated CD30+ stage 3 Hodgkin lymphoma.
Two clinical trials testing the antibody Zynlonta (loncastuximab tesirine) showed encouraging results in patients with high-risk forms of two blood cancers – follicular lymphoma and marginal zone lymphoma.Â
