A Phase I/II Clinical Trial of the Combination of Brentuximab Vedotin and Bendamustine in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma or Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma

This is a phase 1/2 multicenter study to assess the safety and effectiveness of brentuximab
vedotin and bendamustine, when given together, in patients with Hodgkin Lymphoma or
Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL) that has either returned or did not respond to initial
treatment(s). Patients will be accrued at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) and at
two subsites in Canada.

Brentuximab vedotin will be administered as an outpatient IV infusion on day 1 of each 21-day
cycle. Bendamustine will be given as an outpatient infusion on days 1 and 2 of a 21-day
cycle. Patients may receive prophylactic pegfilgrastim on day 3 of each cycle, or filgrastim
for 5 to 10 days, per investigator's discretion. Patients can receive a maximum of 6 cycles
of therapy.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Histologically confirmed relapsed or refractory HL or ALCL.

- Documented CD30+ expression from either original diagnosis or a tumor biopsy in the
relapsed setting.

- For patients with HL, subjects are eligible after failure or having declined
autologous stem cell transplant or at least two prior multi-agent chemotherapy
regimens if they are not autologous stem cell transplant candidates. For patients with
ALCL, subjects are eligible after failure of at least one prior multi-agent
chemotherapy regimen and if they are not eligible for or have declined autologous stem
cell transplant.

- Must have received first line chemotherapy. No upper limit for the number of prior
therapies.

- Patients with prior autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplant are eligible as long
as they meet all other criteria.

- Measurable or evaluable disease, as defined in 2008 Revised Response Criteria for
Malignant Lymphoma(33)

- Age > or = 18 years

- ECOG performance status 0,1 or 2

- Patient's must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below

- Absolute neutrophil count > or = 1,000 (1.0 x 109/L)

- Platelets > or = 50,000 (50 x 109/L)

- Total Bilirubin < or = 1.5 x institutional limits unless documented Gilbert's
syndrome (then < 2.5 x institutional upper limit)

- AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) < or = 2.0 x institutional upper limit of normal (unless
known hepatic involvement then < 3.5 x institutional upper limit)

- Creatinine within normal institutional limits OR creatinine clearance > or =
50mL/min for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal

- If female of childbearing age, negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to
the first dose of brentuximab vedotin in this study

- Must be willing to use contraception during the study, and for 30 days following the
last dose of study drug.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Prior treatment with brentuximab vedotin and bendamustine in combination. May have
received prior therapy with brentuximab vedotin or bendamustine separately.

- Received either brentuximab vedotin or bendamustine within 3 months of receiving their
first dose of protocol based therapy.

- If brentuximab vedotin or bendamustine was previously received, had disease
progression during the first 3 cycles of either brentuximab vedotin or bendamustine.

- Systemic steroids that have not been stabilized to the equivalent of < 10 mg/day of
prednisone 7 days prior to the initiation of the trial.

- ANY concurrent investigational agents.

- Exposure to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, biologics or investigational agents within 3
weeks prior enrollment in the study.

- Known cerebral or meningeal disease.

- Active concurrent malignancy (except non-melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of
the cervix). If there is a history of prior malignancy the patients must be disease
free and off treatment for > or = 3 years.

- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including but not limited to: ongoing or active
infection, systemic congestive heart failure Class III or IV by NYHA criteria,
unstable angina pectoris, or cardiac arrhythmia, or in patients status post allogeneic
transplantation with uncontrolled graft versus host disease (GVHD).

- Pre-existing neuropathy grade III or greater.

- Pregnant or nursing.

- Known hypersensitivity to brentuximab vedotin, bendamustine, or mannitol.

- Known Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) positive, or hepatitis A, hepatitis B or

medication such as lamivudine or equivalent.
