Abstract

Introduction Brentuximab vedotin (Bv) has been approved for the treatment of Refractory/Relapsed (R/R) Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphomas (ALCL) and cutaneous T-Cell Lymphomas, but is also effective in other CD30+ malignancies. We report here the outcomes of patients with various R/R Peripheral T Cell Lymphoma (PTCL) treated with Bv in real life practice. Method This was a retrospective, single-center study based on medical records of patients with R/R PTCL treated either with Bv alone or in combination with chemotherapy. Results Among 27 patients treated with Bv, neutropenia was the main serious adverse event observed in particular when Bv was used as combination treatment. The complete Response Rates (CRR) was 40.7%; it was significantly improved when Bv was used as combination treatment. The majority of eligible patients (7/10) underwent Stem Cell Transplantation. Median Progression Free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) were 5.2 months and 12.5 months respectively. Conclusion Our current study shows that Bv used in combination with chemotherapy provides a high CRR and thereby allows SCT in R/R PTCL. The use of Bv treatments in this setting warrants further investigation.
