Abstract
The arrival of the CD30 directed antibody-drug conjugate, brentuximab vedotin (BV), has altered the approach to patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma. Since initial approval in 2011, BV has been extensively studied in previously untreated and relapsed/refractory patients. Treatment indications for the antibody-drug conjugate have been expanded from the previously treated population to include maintenance therapy after autologous stem cell transplantation and recently, combination with chemotherapy in newly diagnosed advanced stage patients. This article will review the evolution of BV in classical Hodgkin lymphoma, detailing the studies that led to the approved indications and discussion of recent trials in combination with chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
期刊介绍:
Blood and Lymphatic Cancer: Targets and Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, open access journal focusing on blood and lymphatic cancer research, identification of therapeutic targets, and the optimal use of preventative and integrated treatment interventions to achieve improved outcomes, enhanced survival, and quality of life for the cancer patient. Specific topics covered in the journal include: Epidemiology, detection and screening Cellular research and biomarkers Identification of biotargets and agents with novel mechanisms of action Optimal clinical use of existing anticancer agents, including combination therapies Radiation, surgery, bone marrow transplantation Palliative care Patient adherence, quality of life, satisfaction Health economic evaluations.
