Inclusion Criteria

• Histologically confirmed CD30-positive lymphoma with cutaneous presentation
• Failure or intolerance to at least one prior therapy for the current disease

• Serum albumin >= 2.0 g/dL
• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 2.5 x institutional ULN or, in the case of liver involvement by the primary disease AST/ALT =< 5 x ULN
• Creatinine =< 1.5 x institutional ULN or estimated creatinine clearance of >= 45 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault equation or measured creatinine clearance > 45 mL/min
• Females of child bearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test with 7 days prior to first dose of treatment; female patients of childbearing potential and all male partners must agree to use double barrier methods of contraception throughout the study period and for at least 30 days following investigational product discontinuation

Exclusion Criteria

• Any cancer-related therapy for the current disease within 2 weeks of screening (all supportive care measures are allowed)
• Major surgery within 2 weeks prior to first dose of study drug
• Evidence of active central nervous system (CNS) involvement
• Requirement for systemic immunosuppressive therapy (e.g. graft-versus-host disease [GVHD] therapy within 12 weeks before the first dose of study drug)
• Uncontrolled concurrent serious illness
• Concurrent malignancy requiring cytotoxic or immunotherapy based treatment
• Active infection including hepatitis B-carrier status, hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (patients with positive serology must have a negative hepatitis [Hep] B and Hep C viral load at screening)
• Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive status
• Any significant diseases medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness that would exclude the subject from participation or interfere with study treatment, monitoring and compliance such as: * Unstable angina pectoris, symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association [NYHA] III or IV), myocardial infarction =< 6 months prior to first study drug, clinically significant and uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia (e.g. atrial fibrillation/flutter ventricular cardiovascular physiology is allowed), cerebrovascular accidents =< 6 months before study drug start * Severely impaired lung function
• Serious, systemic infection requiring treatment =< 7 days before the first dose of study drug
• Any severe, uncontrolled disease or condition, which in the investigator's opinion, may put the subject at significant risk, may confound the study results, or impact the subject's participation in the study
