Percentage of participants who achieved a best response of complete response/remission (CR), CR without hematologic recovery (CRi; leukemia only), or partial remission (PR) per the applicable response criteria. Response criteria for solid tumors (by radiographic tumor imaging) per Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 (Eisenhauer 2009); response criteria for leukemia (by peripheral blood and bone marrow aspirate or biopsy) per International Working Group (Cheson 2003).

Objective Response Rate (ORR) by Investigator With Brentuximab Vedotin Monotherapy
Up to approximately 3 years

Percentage of participants treated with brentuximab vedotin monotherapy who achieved a best response of complete remission (CR, disappearance of all evidence of disease) or partial remission (PR, regression of greater than or equal to 50% of measurable disease and no new sites) per Cheson 2007 Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma.

Up to 3 years

Counts of participants who had treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE, defined as newly occurring or worsening after first dose on Study SGN35-012). Serious adverse events are reported from the time of informed consent. National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE version 4.03) were used to assess severity (1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, 4=life-threatening/disabling, 5=fatal). Relatedness to study drug was assessed by the investigator (Yes/No). Participants with multiple occurrences of an adverse event within a category are counted once within the category.

Objective Response Rate by Investigator
Up to approximately 38 months

Percentage of participants in the retreatment arm who achieved a best response of complete remission (CR, disappearance of all evidence of disease) or partial remission (PR, regression of greater than or equal to 50% of measurable disease and no new sites) per Cheson 2007 Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma.

Adverse Events by Severity, Seriousness, and Relationship to Treatment
up to 39 months

Counts of participants who had adverse events or treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE, defined as newly occurring or worsening after first dose on SGN35-006). Serious adverse events are reported from the time of informed consent. National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE version 3.0) were used to assess severity (1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, 4=life threatening/disabling, 5=death). Relatedness to study drug was assessed by the investigator (Yes/No). Participants with multiple occurrences of an adverse event within a category are counted once within the category.

Laboratory Abnormalities >/= Grade 3
Up to 39 months

Counts of study participants with post-baseline laboratory abnormalities of Grade 3 or greater per NCI CTCAE version 3.0. Participants with multiple occurrences of a laboratory abnormality within a category are counted once in that category.

Objective Response Rate by Independent Review Group
up to 12 months

Percentage of participants who achieved a best response of complete remission (CR, disappearance of all evidence of disease) or partial remission (PR, regression of greater than or equal to 50% of measurable disease and no new sites) per Cheson 2007 Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
Up to 28.9 months

Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are presented and defined as newly occurring (not present at baseline) or worsening after first dose of investigational product. The timeframe includes a 6.01 month safety reporting period and additional long-term follow up through 28.9 months.

Complete Remission Rate
Up to 3.42 months

Number of patients with complete metabolic response (CMR) at end of treatment

Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs)
Up to 13.8 months

All AEs reported after initiation of treatment and pre-existing conditions that worsen after initiation of treatment will be considered treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs). All AEs will be coded by system organ class, MedDRA preferred term, and severity grade using NCI CTCAE V4.03. All recorded AEs will be included in the data listings.
