Cytomegalovirus Infection With Retinitis After Brentuximab Vedotin Treatment for CD30+ Lymphoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Brentuximab vedotin is an antibody-conjugated chemotherapy targeting CD30 indicated in treatment of several lymphomas. We report the first 3 cases of cytomegalovirus severe infections with retinitis following this treatment. Evolution was favorable, but relapse occurred after treatment rechallenge. We suggest vigilance about cytomegalovirus in patients treated with brentuximab vedotin.

Complete remission in CD30-positive refractory extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma with brentuximab vedotin
TO THE EDITOR: [Abstract] The treatment outcome of relapsed or refractory extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (ENKL) is poor. Brentuximab vedotin, an anti-CD30 antibody-drug conjugate, has recently been approved for the treatment of relapsed Hodgkin’s lymphoma and anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL). We report on a case of a 63-year-old man who presented with multiple skin lesions,...
متن کاملBrentuximab vedotin for relapsed or refractory Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Brentuximab vedotin is a promising antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting CD30 of tumor cells. It selectively delivers monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) into CD30-expressing cells and induces tumor cell apoptosis. Various clinical trials have provided evidence that it is effective in relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), and it has also shown its advantages in other CD30-positive lympho...
متن کاملCD30 targeting with brentuximab vedotin: a novel therapeutic approach to primary effusion lymphoma.
Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is an aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by short survival with current therapies, emphasizing the urgent need to develop new therapeutic approaches. Brentuximab vedotin (SGN-35) is an anti-CD30 monoclonal antibody (cAC10) conjugated by a protease-cleavable linker to a microtubule-disrupting agent, monomethyl auristatin E. Brentuximab vedoti...
متن کاملPrimary bone lymphoma with multifocal osteolytic lesions: a rare case report with review of literature
vedotin could be a viable treatment option for refractory CD30-positive ENKL without causing significant toxicity, even in heavily pretreated patients. However, since this case report is the first to show CR in CD30-positive ENKL with brentuximab vedotin, further studies will be required to confirm these results and establish a dosing schedule. This report implies that brentuximab vedotin could...
متن کاملEmerging Pharmacotherapy for Relapsed or Refractory Hodgkin’s Lymphoma: Focus on Brentuximab Vedotin
Hodgkins' lymphoma (HL) which has relapsed post or is refractory to autologous bone marrow transplant presents an ongoing treatment challenge. Development of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) for the treatment of HL has aimed to replicate the success of mAb therapy in the treatment on Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. The identification of CD30 as a potential target for treatment has led to the development of a...
