Abstract
Standard first-line (1L) therapy for systemic ALCL (sALCL) is CHOP-based chemotherapy, with or without consolidative autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) (Schmitz, Blood, 2010). Approximately 40–65% of patients experience relapsed/refractory disease, for which brentuximab vedotin (BV) as monotherapy has established efficacy (Pro, Blood, 2017)
BV is currenty FDA-aproved in combination with CHP (CHP+A) as first-line treatment for CD30 + PTCL, based E2 results (34% reduction in risk of death), an effect only demonstrable in ALCL (70% of E2 cohort) (Horwitz, Lancet, 2019). We investigated outcomes of unselected ALCL patients treated in routine practice prior to widespread approval of BV in 1L.
