[Toxicity of targeted therapies and immunotherapy with checkpointinhibitors in Hodgkin lymphoma].

TOXICITY OF TARGETED THERAPIES AND IMMUNOTHERAPY WITH CHECKPOINT INHIBITORS IN HODGKIN LYMPHOMA. In patients at increased risk of recurrence or progression after autotransplantation, or in cases of relapse after autotransplantation or after at least two lines of treatment when intensive multidrug therapy is no longer a treatment option, targeted anti-CD30 therapy with brentuximab vedotin may be proposed. Brentuximab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody directed against CD30 and coupled with an anti-microtubule cytotoxic agent, monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE). The main adverse side effect of brentuximab vedotin is peripheral neuropathy. In patients who have relapsed after intensive chemotherapy, including autograft for patients eligible for this treatment, and after failure of brentuximab vedotin, anti-PD1 immunotherapy (nivolumab or pembrolizumab) may be offered. Anti-PD1 (Programmed cell death protein 1) side effects are immune-related, varied and unpredictable (endocrinopathies, rash, colitis, interstitial lung disease). The tolerability profiles of brentuximab vedotin and anti-PD1 and the management of the main undesirable side effects of these treatments are detailed for clinical practice.
