ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the treatment methods of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL).Methods:The clinical data of 251 newly treated PTCL patients in the First Hospital of Jilin University from August 2011 to October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, from which 168 patients were intercepted from February 2015 (the first targeted drug of PTCL, chidamide, was launched in China) to October 2021, among which 20 patients received chemotherapy combined with brentuximab vedotin (BV, BV group), 37 patients received chemotherapy combined with chidamide (chidamide group), and 111 patients received non-targeted therapy (non-targeted therapy group); all patients received ≥2 courses of treatment. Ten patients received autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, with non-transplanted patients in the same period as controls. The clinical efficacy and prognosis of patients with different treatment methods were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis and log-rank test was performed.Results:Of all 251 patients with PTCL, 26.7% (67/251) received targeted therapy in combination with chemotherapy. In the chidamide group, the efficacy could be evaluated in 36 cases, with an overall response rate (ORR) of 91.7% (33/36); in the non-targeted therapy group, the efficacy could be evaluated in 88 cases, with an ORR of 71.6% (63/88); in the BV group, 20 cases were evaluable, with an ORR of 75.0% (15/20). The difference in ORR between the non-targeted therapy group and the chidamide group was statistically significant ( χ2 = 5.89, P = 0.015), and the difference in ORR between the non-targeted therapy group and the BV group was not statistically significant ( χ2 = 0.09, P = 0.759). The 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 79.9%, 88.2% and 64.2%, and the 1-year overall survival (OS) rates were 85.7%, 89.7% and 70.1% in the chidamide, BV and non-targeted therapy groups, respectively; the PFS and OS in the chidamide and BV groups were better than those in the non-targeted therapy group (all P < 0.05), and the adverse effects were mostly tolerable. Among patients treated with chemotherapy combined with BV, the ORR of patients with CD30 expression rate <60% and ≥60% were 54.5% (6/11) and 100.0% (9/9), and the difference was statistically significant ( P = 0.038). In the 10 hematopoietic stem cell transplanted patients and 50 non-transplanted patients, 1-year PFS rates were 87.5% and 59.5%, 1-year OS rates were 90.0% and 67.1%, and the differences were not statistically significant (both P > 0.05). Conclusions:Chemotherapy-based combination therapy is the main treatment methods for PTCL, and chemotherapy combined with chidamide or BV targeted therapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can improve the long-term survival of PTCL patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To retrospectively evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of brentuximab vedotin(BV) combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of malignant lymphoma. Methods We collected the data of 32 lymphoma patients with CD30-positive status, including 14 cases of Hodgkin's lymphomas, 2 cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas, and 16 cases of mature T/NK cell lymphomas. Chemotherapy combined with BV was administered to all patients for a minimum of two cycles. The efficacy of the treatment was evaluated according to Lugano criteria every two cycles. Results Complete response rate and overall response rate after four cycles of treatment were 22% and 50%, respectively. Sixteen cases (50.0%) had grades 1 and 2 toxicity, and 16 cases (50.0%) had grade 3 toxicity or higher. The most common adverse events were neutropenia (50.0%), pneumonia (46.9%), and anemia (43.8%). The most common grade 3 or higher adverse events were pneumonia (18.8%) and febrile neutropenia (12.5%). Four patients discontinued brentuximab vedotin because of severe adverse events. Conclusion BV is effective in treating relapsed and refractory CD30- positive Hodgkin's lymphoma and peripheral T-cell lymphoma, and its overall safety is acceptable.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To analyze the adverse drug reaction （ADR）signals of ado-trastuzumab emtansine and brentuximab vedotin，so as to provide reference for clinical medication safety. METHODS Using the FDA adverse drug event reporting system （FAERS）database and OpenVigil 2.1 data platform ，the ADR of the two drugs were collected from being approved by FDA to the Sep. 30th，2021. The ADR signals were detected by frequency method and sorted according to the occurrence frequency and signal strength respectively. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS A total of 2 319 and 3 178 ADR reports related to ado-trastuzumab emtansine and brentuximab vedotin were collected ，215 and 329 ADR signals were detected respectively. According to the occurrence frequency，the most frequent ADR s of the two drugs were thrombocytopenia （109 cases）and febrile neutropenia （198 cases）， separately，which were consistent with the drug instructions. According to the signal strength ，the spider nevus of ado-trastuzumab emtansine（report odds ratio of 451.46）and the noninfectious endocarditis of brentuximab vedotin （report odds ratio of 304.35） ranked first ，both of which were not reported in the drug instructions. It is suggested that attention should be paid not only to the most common ADR s of blood and lymphatic system caused by both drugs ，but also to the ADRs not reported in the drug instructions such as spider nevus of ado-trastuzumab emtansine and noninfective endocarditis of brentuximab vedotin.
ABSTRACT
Resumen Los anticuerpos terapéuticos son proteínas recombinantes empleadas en el tratamiento del cáncer. Existe una nueva generación de anticuerpos monoclonales con actividad contra las células cancerosas, conocidos como anticuerpos conjugados a fármacos. Estas moléculas están integradas por tres elementos: un anticuerpo monoclonal, un fármaco citotóxico con alta potencia y un enlazador químico que los une. El anticuerpo reconoce antígenos tumorales, por lo que permite la entrega dirigida del agente citotóxico hacia las células cancerosas. Tras el reconocimiento de su antígeno, el anticuerpo conjugado a fármaco es endocitado por las células blanco, donde se induce la degradación lisosomal de la fracción proteica y se libera el fármaco citotóxico. En el presente artículo se revisan las características generales de los anticuerpos conjugados a fármacos y se describe la evidencia clínica de la eficacia y seguridad de los primeros cuatro aprobados por las agencias reguladoras de Estados Unidos y Europa.
Abstract Therapeutic antibodies are recombinant proteins used in the treatment of cancer. There is a new generation of monoclonal antibodies with activity against cancer cells, known as antibody-drug conjugates. These molecules are made up of three elements: a monoclonal antibody, a highly potent cytotoxic drug, and a chemical linker that binds them together. The antibody recognizes tumor antigens, thereby allowing targeted delivery of the cytotoxic agent to cancer cells. After recognizing its antigen, the antibody-drug conjugate is endocytosed by the target cells, where the protein fraction is degradated into lysosomes, releasing the cytotoxic drug. This article reviews antibody-drug conjugates general characteristics and describes the clinical evidence of efficacy and safety of the first four approved by regulatory agencies in the United States and Europe.

ABSTRACT
Brentuximab vedotin (BV), a potent antibody-drug conjugate, targets the CD30 antigen. Owing to the remarkable efficacy shown in CD30-positive lymphomas, such as Hodgkin's lymphoma and systemic anaplastic large-cell lymphoma, BV was granted accelerated approval in 2011 by the US Food and Drug Administration. Thereafter, many large-scale trials in various situations have been performed, which led to extensions of the original indication. The aim of this review was to describe the latest updates on clinical trials of BV and the in-practice guidance for the use of BV.

Aims: The management of relapsed/refractory Hodgkin lymphoma is challenging and new choices are needed. Brentuximab vedotin and bendamustine are two effective drugs in these cases. The aim of this study is to present the response to bendamustine after brentuximab failure. Study Design: Retrospective study evaluating the response to bendamustine in four cases with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma. Place and Duration of Study: Cukurova University Faculty of Medicine Department of Oncology, between 2012 and 2014. Methodology: Clinical and metabolic responses to bendamustine in four cases with relapsed refractory Hodgkin lymphoma were evaluated. Informed consent was obtained from the patients. Bendamustine was used in four cases with very refractory Hodgkin lymphoma after Brentuximab failure. The dosage was 120 mg/M2 for two consecutive days in 4 weeks, without growth factor support. Results: Four cases with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma were treated with bendamustine after brentuximab vedotin failure. Complete metabolic response was documented in two cases,one case did not respond and only short duration of response was determined in one case. Conclusion: Bendamustine is an effective and cost-effective choice in cases with relapsed/refractory Hodgkin lymphoma after brentuximab vedotin failure. However response is of short duration and definitive treatment must be performed as soon as possible.
