  • (iv) History of BV-induced adverse event without resolution to current grade <2. Previous treatment with brentuximab vedotin alone, in the absence of current ≥ grade 2 BV-induced side effect, is NOT an exclusion criterion
  • (v) History of disease refractoriness, progression or relapse during BV treatment. Previous treatment with BV alone, if the disease was treatment-sensitive (complete, partial response or stable disease), is NOT an exclusion criterion.
  • (vi) History of ≥ grade 4 adverse event induced by BV. Previous
  • (vii) Contra-indication to BV including current >grade 2 neutropenia or active infection
  • (viii) Progressive disease or relapse at study inclusion compared to the screening visit status
  • (ix) Refusal of two highly effective birth control methods for female participant of childbearing potential and male participant with a female partner of childbearing potential
