the study

- The effects of brentuximab vedotin and ibrutinib on the developing fetus is unknowm;
for this reason, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate
contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control or abstinence) prior to
study entry and for six months following duration of study participation; should a
woman become pregnant or suspect that she is pregnant while participating on the
trial, she should inform her treating physician immediately
- All subjects must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written
informed consent; they are to give voluntary written informed consent before
performance of any study-related procedure not part of normal medical care, with the
understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the subject at any time without
prejudice to future medical care
- Patient must be either refractory to or relapsed after 1 line of therapy
- Prior hematopoietic transplantation is allowed (autologous and/or allogeneic)
- Prior brentuximab vedotin is allowed provided that patients were not refractory
(defined as developing progressive disease while on treatment or progressed within 3
months of finished last dose of brentuximab vedotin)
- Prior ibrutinib for Hodgkin lymphoma is not allowed
Exclusion Criteria:
- Less than or equal to 40 kg

the investigator's opinion, could compromise the subject's safety or put the study
outcomes at undue risk

investigator as not medically relevant
- Significant screening electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities including, but not limited
to, left bundle branch block, 2nd degree atrioventricular (AV) block type II, 3rd
degree block, or corrected QT interval (QTc) >= 470 msec; subjects with a cardiac
pacemaker who have a QTc interval of >= 470 msec may be eligible if these findings are
considered not clinically significant as documented via a cardiology evaluation
- Diagnosed or treated for another malignancy within 3 years of enrollment, with the
exception of complete resection of basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of
the skin, an in situ malignancy, or low-risk prostate cancer after curative therapy

1 day 1, steroids use was tapered down to less than or equal to 20 mg of prednisone
