Emerging Pharmacotherapy for Relapsed or Refractory Hodgkin’s Lymphoma: Focus on Brentuximab Vedotin
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hodgkins' lymphoma (HL) which has relapsed post or is refractory to autologous bone marrow transplant presents an ongoing treatment challenge. Development of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) for the treatment of HL has aimed to replicate the success of mAb therapy in the treatment on Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. The identification of CD30 as a potential target for treatment has led to the development of a new antibody-drug conjugate, brentuximab vedotin (SGN-35), which conjugates monomethyl auristatin E to an anti-CD30 antibody to deliver targeted toxicity to the malignant Reed Sternberg cells of HL. This review describes CD30 as an antibody target, and focuses on the antibody-drug conjugate brentuximab vedotin, including current knowledge of the mechanism of action, preclinical, clinical and pharmacokinetic data available for Brentuximab Vedotin.

Brentuximab vedotin for relapsed or refractory Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Brentuximab vedotin is a promising antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting CD30 of tumor cells. It selectively delivers monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) into CD30-expressing cells and induces tumor cell apoptosis. Various clinical trials have provided evidence that it is effective in relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), and it has also shown its advantages in other CD30-positive lympho...

TO THE EDITOR: [Abstract] The treatment outcome of relapsed or refractory extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (ENKL) is poor. Brentuximab vedotin, an anti-CD30 antibody-drug conjugate, has recently been approved for the treatment of relapsed Hodgkin’s lymphoma and anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL). We report on a case of a 63-year-old man who presented with multiple skin lesions,...

BACKGROUND Recently, brentuximab vedotin has become a promising therapeutic approach for CD30-positive hematological malignancies, but its role in other relapsed or refractory malignant lymphoma needs to be proven. Brentuximab vedotin was demonstrated effective, but no study has summarized the concrete effect of brentuximab vedotin in malignant lymphoma. To truly know the role of brentuximab ve...
