2. Have a diagnosis of systemic anaplastic large-cell lymphoma, or Hodgkin lymphoma
for which standard, curative, life-prolonging, or palliative treatment does not exist or
is no longer effective. (Patients diagnosed with any relapsed or refractory CD30+
hematological malignancy [eg, primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma] may be
included in phase 1 of the study.)
3. Patients with sALCL must have documented anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)
status.
4. Patients with HL must be in their second or later relapse, have failed systemic
chemotherapy either as induction therapy for advanced stage disease or salvage therapy, and were ineligible for, refused, or previously received a stem cell
transplant.
5. Patients with relapsed or refractory sALCL must be beyond first remission or
refractory to front-line chemotherapy.
6. Performance score ≥ 60 from Lansky Play Performance Scale if ≤ 16 years
7. Female patients who:
. Are surgically sterile, OR
. If they are of childbearing potential, agree to practice 2 effective methods of contraception, at the same time, from the time of signing the informed consent through 6 months after the last dose of study drug, or
. • Agree to practice true abstinence, when this is in line with the
preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. (Periodic abstinence [eg,
calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation methods] and
withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.)
8. Male patients, even if surgically sterilized (ie, status postvasectomy),
who:
• Agree to practice effective barrier contraception during the entire
study treatment period and through 6 months after the last dose of
study drug, or
• Agree to practice true abstinence, when this is in line with the
preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. (Periodic abstinence [eg,
calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation methods for the
female partner] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of
contraception.)
9. Voluntary written consent (and institution-specific assent as appropriate based upon
patient comprehension) must be given before performance of any study-related
procedure not part of standard medical care, with the understanding that
consent/assent may be withdrawn by the patient or patient guardian at any time
without prejudice to future medical care.
10. Suitable venous access for the study-required procedures.
11. Clinical laboratory values as specified below within 4 days before
the first dose of study drug:
• Absolute neutrophil count greater than or equal to 1,500/μL.
• Platelet count greater than or equal to 75,000/μL.
• Serum bilirubin level less than or equal to 1.5 upper limits of
normal (ULN) or less than or equal to 3 ULN for patients with an
indirect hyperbilirubinemia due to Gilbert's disease.
• Serum creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 ULN.
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST or SGOT) less than or equal to 2.5 ULN. AST and ALT levels may be elevated up to 5 ULN if their elevation can be reasonably ascribed to the presence of metastatic disease in the liver.
12. Patients must have a radiographically or clinically evaluable tumor per the IWG(1)
criteria.

4. Receiving systemic therapy for chronic graft-versus-host disease (topical therapy is
allowed).
5. Previous treatment with any anti-CD30 antibody.
6. Therapeutic monoclonal antibody use within the longer of 6 weeks or 5 plasma halflives.

treatment.

contained in the drug formulation.

medication.
