This open-label, randomized, 2-arm, multicenter, phase 3 study has the primary objective of comparing the modified progression-free survival (mPFS) obtained with brentuximab vedotin (ADCETRIS®) plus AVD (doxorubicin \[Adriamycin\], vinblastine, and dacarbazine; abbreviated A+AVD) versus that obtained with ABVD (doxorubicin \[Adriamycin\],bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine) for the frontline treatment of advanced classical Hodgkin lymphoma(HL)

Brentuximab vedotin (ADCETRIS®)1.2 mg/kg by IV infusion on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle.
Doxorubicin: 25 mg/m\^2 by IV infusion on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle.
Bleomycin: 10 units/m\^2 by IV infusion on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle.
Modified Progression-free Survival (mPFS) Per Independent Review Facility (IRF)
mPFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first of documentation of progressive disease (PD), death due to any cause, or for participants who were confirmed non complete responders per IRF, receipt of subsequent anticancer therapy for Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) after completion of frontline therapy. PD was defined as any new lesion or increase by greater than or equal to (\>=) 50 percent (%) of previously involved sites from nadir. Frontline therapy is the part of standard set of treatments.
Time frame: Baseline until PD or death or receipt of any subsequent anticancer therapy for HL after completion of frontline therapy (approximately up to 4 years)
Overall Survival (OS)
OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death. Participants without documented death at the time of analysis were censored at the date last known to be alive.
Time frame: Baseline until death (approximately up to 4 years)
Complete Remission (CR) Rate at the End of Randomized Regimen Per IRF
CR rate at the end of randomized regimen per investigator was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved CR at the end of treatment with randomized regimen (ABVD or A+AVD) as determined by IRF. CR was defined as disappearance of all evidence of disease.
Time frame: Baseline up to end of randomized regimen (approximately 1 year)
Number of Participants Who Experience at Least One Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) and Serious Adverse Event (SAE)
Time frame: Baseline up to 30 days after last dose of study drug (approximately 1 year)
Number of Participants With Abnormal Clinical Laboratory Values
Time frame: Baseline up to 30 days after last dose of study drug (approximately 1 year)

Event-free Survival (EFS) Per IRF
EFS was defined as the time from randomization until any cause of treatment failure: PD, premature discontinuation of randomized treatment for any reason, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. PD was defined as any new lesion or increase by \>=50% of previously involved sites from nadir per IRF.
Time frame: Baseline until PD or discontinuation of treatment or death, whichever occurs first (approximately up to 4 years)
Disease-free Survival (DFS) Per IRF
DFS per IRF was defined as the time from CR to disease progression as determined by an IRF or to death from lymphoma or acute toxicity from treatment. CR was defined as disappearance of all evidence of disease.
Time frame: From CR until PD or death (approximately up to 4 years)
Overall Response Rate (ORR) Per IRF
ORR per IRF was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved CR or partial remission (PR) at the end of treatment with randomized regimen (ABVD or A+AVD) as determined by an IRF. CR was defined as disappearance of all evidence of disease. PR was defined as regression of measurable disease and no new sites.
Time frame: Baseline up to end of randomized regimen (approximately 1 year)
Duration of Response (DOR) Per IRF
DOR per IRF in participants with response was the time between first documentation of response (PR or CR) and PD as determined by an IRF. PD was defined as any new lesion or increase by \>=50% of previously involved sites from nadir. CR was defined as disappearance of all evidence of disease. PR was defined as regression of measurable disease and no new sites.
Time frame: From first documented response until PD (approximately 4 years)
Duration of Complete Remission (DOCR) Per IRF
DOCR per IRF in participants with CR was the time between first documentation of CR and PD as determined by an IRF. PD was defined as any new lesion or increase by \>=50% of previously involved sites from nadir. CR was defined as disappearance of all evidence of disease.
Time frame: From first documentation of CR until PD (approximately 4 years)
Percentage of Participants Not in CR Per IRF Who Received Subsequent Radiation After Completion of Frontline Therapy
CR was defined as disappearance of all evidence of disease as determined by an IRF.
Time frame: Baseline up to end of frontline therapy (approximately 4 years)
Complete Remission (CR) Per IRF Rate at the End of Frontline Therapy
CR rate at the end of frontline therapy per IRF was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved CR at the end of frontline therapy that is after completion of either randomized regimen or alternate frontline therapy as determined by an IRF. CR was defined as disappearance of all evidence of disease.
Time frame: Baseline up to end of frontline therapy (approximately 4 years)
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Negativity Rate Per IRF at Cycle 2
PET negativity rate at Cycle 2 was defined as the percentage of participants with negative Cycle 2 PET results defined as Deauville score less than or equal to (\<=) 3 at Cycle 2. The Deauville score according to IRF assessment of response was used to evaluate the results of PET scans.
Time frame: Cycle 2 Day 25

Change From Baseline in Patient-Reported Outcome (PRO) Scores by mPFS Based on European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire-C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) at EOT
EORTC QLQ-C30 included 30 items across 5 functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), 9 symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties) and global health status/QOL scale. It has 28 questions (4-point scale where 1=not at all \[best\] to 4=Very Much \[worst\]) and 2 questions (7-point scale where 1=very poor \[worst\] to 7= excellent \[best\]). Raw scores were converted into scale scores from 0 to 100. For functional scales and global health status/QOL scale, higher scores show better QOL; for symptom scales, lower scores show better QOL. mPFS was time from date of randomization to date of first of documentation of PD, death due to any cause, or for participants who were confirmed non complete responders per IRF, receipt of subsequent anticancer therapy for HL after completion of frontline therapy. PD is any new lesion or increase by \>=50% of previously involved sites from nadir.
Time frame: Baseline up to end of treatment (approximately 1 year)
