Brentuximab Vedotin (SGN-35) in a 3-Year-Old Child With Relapsed Systemic Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma

Abstract: The treatment of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) has largely relied on anthracycline-based chemotherapy. Targeted lymphoma therapy, using an anti-CD30 antibody, provides an innovative treatment modality for specific lymphomas, particularly ALCL. Brentuximab vedotin (BV; SGN-35) uses a CD30 monoclonal antibody to generate apoptosis of targeted lymphoma cells. We present a pediatric patient with ALCL who experienced second relapse after standard chemotherapy and autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic stem… Show more

“…As it was previously published, retreatment with BV can induce repeated complete remission in relapsed systemic ALCL when considering combining BV with other therapeutic options [16]. Lower dose of BV (1 mg/kg) also showed its efficiency in a young child treatment with refractory ALCL, minimizing toxic effects [13]. Our patient received BV at a dose of 1.8 mg/kg before alloHSCT, which was allowed to perform transplantation during molecular remission, and at a dose of 1.2 mg/kg after alloHSCT, which was adequate to induce molecular and sustain clinical response.…”

“…Recently, targeted drugs such as brentuximab vedotin or ALK inhibitors have been developed and have yielded remarkable response rates with limited toxicities. 29,30,[33][34][35][36] However, the follow-up of the patients treated with these new targeted therapies is still short and we still do not know whether they will be able to lead to complete cure of ALCL or if they will have to be considered as a bridge to induce complete response before allo-SCT.…”

“…The initial experience with BV is limited to case reports of pediatric patients with (r/r) HL or ALCL [ 34 ]. Safety of BV was confirmed in a phase I/II study of pediatric patients with (r/r) lymphomas and maximum tolerated dose was found to be 1.8 mg/kg every three weeks [ 35 ].…”
