What is Adcetris?

Adcetris contains the prescription medicine brentuximab vedotin, which is a treatment for cancer.

Adcetris is used for the treatment of:

• classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL), that could come back or already has come back after a stem cell transplant or treatment with other cancer medications has not worked
• Adult patients who have untreated Stage III or IV cHL, in combination with chemotherapy
• systemic Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (sALCL), that affects organs throughout the body, after other multi-agent chemotherapy has not worked
• primary cutaneous Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (pcALCL), or CD30-expressing MF in adult patients who have already had systemic therapy

Adcetris active ingredients

Adcetris is a CD30-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). CD30 is released on the surface of sALCL and Hodgkin Reed-Stenberg (HRS) cells in cHL. The anticancer actions of Adcetris is thought to be due to the binding of the ADC to CD30 on these specific cells that release CD30. The ADC-CD30 complex then enters the cell, causing the cell to eventually die.

Adcetris is given as an infusion directly into a vein by a healthcare professional. Adcetris is normally given once every 2 to 3 weeks. Your dose is based on your weight. Brentuximab vedotin can lower your blood cell count and so your blood will need to be checked regularly. You may have to take other medicines to reduce the side effects of Adcetris.
