Adcetris (brentuximab vedotin)

Furthermore, treatment with AVD (adriamycin/vinblastine/dacarbazine) in combination with brentuximab vedotin (BV) was initiated to achieve a complete metabolic response. Histopathologically, SV has a high proportion of HRS cells, with high CD30-positive and low EBER-positive rates. Therefore, CD30-targeted therapies such as BV may be preferable for SV, even in localized NS-HL patients, thereby improving patient prognosis.

CHOP or CHOP-like regimens have long been the standard frontline therapy; however, the addition of brentuximab vedotin has improved overall survival and established a new standard of care for CD30-positive PTCL...Epigenetic modulators, including histone deacetylase inhibitors and an EZH1/2 inhibitor, have demonstrated particularly high activity in TFH-derived subtypes, supporting the integration of biomarker-driven patient selection as a path toward precision medicine in PTCL. This review summarizes current insights into the genetic landscape, recent clinical advances in novel agents, and future perspectives on therapeutic stratification, highlighting the need to translate molecular insights into durable clinical benefits for patients with PTCL.

Immune-based therapies, including brentuximab vedotin and PD-1 inhibitors, have shown promising activity, particularly in combination. MGZL remains a diagnostically challenging and therapeutically complex lymphoma with inferior outcomes compared with related mediastinal lymphomas. Advances in molecular profiling and immunotherapy offer promising avenues toward more personalized treatment; however, prospective clinical trials and international collaboration are urgently needed to establish evidence-based management strategies for this rare entity.

While response rates were similar, PFS was shorter. These findings suggest that BV remains a potential therapeutic option in this patient population and merits further prospective investigation.

The patient achieved a partial response with methotrexate but discontinued after ~12 months due to elevated transaminases. Following treatment with bexarotene then gemcitabine, CHOP chemotherapy was initiated in December 2019, but, after a period of partial skin response, the patient relapsed with progression of skin lesions...Disease progression in the skin occurred in December 2020; mogamulizumab was continued, and the patient achieved remission with the addition of etoposide and prednisone in August 2021...In October 2022, the patient was diagnosed with large cell CD30+ transformation, and the therapeutic approach was changed to extracorporeal photopheresis, brentuximab vedotin, and topical steroids. The patient died in February 2023 due to sepsis. Our experience adds to the limited evidence that mogamulizumab may be continued in combination with etoposide following disease progression in patients with MF with blood involvement; however, more research is needed on the efficacy and safety of this approach.

The patient received brentuximab vedotin plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and prednisone (BV-CHP) chemotherapy following multidisciplinary review and showed marked improvement. This case illustrates the diagnostic challenge of ALK-positive ALCL presenting as a recurrent axillary abscess. Early recognition and histopathological evaluation of atypical or non-resolving abscesses are essential for timely diagnosis and effective treatment, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

This understanding provides a strong rationale for COO- and TME-guided therapeutic strategies, such as combining the anti-CD30 antibody-drug conjugate brentuximab vedotin with immunomodulatory agents. This report elucidates the enigma of CD30 and outlines a path towards personalized medicine for DLBCL.
