Abstract
Brentuximab vedotin (SGN-35), an intravenously administered CD30-specific antibody-drug conjugate, has recently been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for two indications, including (i) patients with Hodgkin lymphoma relapsing after autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT), or after two multidrug regimens in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma who are not candidates for ASCT; and (ii) patients with systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) who failed at least one prior multidrug chemotherapy regimen. Patients with Hodgkin lymphoma and ALCL treated with brentuximab vedotin showed markedly high response rates for a single agent, exceeding 70% and 80% for Hodgkin lymphoma and ALCL, respectively. The complete response rate was equally as impressive, at 34% and 57% for Hodgkin lymphoma and ALCL, respectively. Results like these and from many other upcoming clinical trials, in which brentuximab vedotin is being investigated in the frontline setting, promise to profoundly change how we manage the CD30-positive lymphoproliferative malignancies. The mechanism of action, preclinical antitumor activity, and clinical activity of brentuximab vedotin against Hodgkin lymphoma, ALCL, and other CD30-expressing lymphomas are reviewed.
