Relapsed or Refractory Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma & Hodgkin Lymphoma Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Multi-center and Non-interventional Registry of BrentuximabVedotinin Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma or Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma
In case of relapsed or refractory ALK-negative ALCL patients, high-dosage chemotherapy/ stem cell transplantation is a universal salvage option for patients with sensitivity to anti-cancer treatment and a relatively successful salvage rate can be expected. Recently, there has been a report of successful stem cell transplantation with full response to BrentuximabVedotin induced before stem cell transplantation and BrentuximabVedotin's role as a bridge therapy before stem cell transplantation has also been suggested. Hodgkin lymphoma is a type of curable blood cancer with unique tissues and clinical characteristics. Based on the 2008 WHO classification, Hodgkin lymphoma has two types-nodular lymphocyte predominant type and classical type-and the classical type is further classified into four types, nodular sclerosis, mixed cellularity, lymphocyte depletion and lymphocyte-rich type. Recently, immune checkpoint inhibitor is reported as a very effective treatment for relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma and more active treatment such as stem cell transplantation is considered for younger patients. Treatment with Brentuximabvedotin targeting CD30+ is also very effective for the treatment of relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma and considered a good option for patients who are not suitable for stem cell transplantation or aged patients. It shows consistent response to anti-CD30 antibody treatment in relation to relapsed anaplastic large cell lymphoma or Hodgkin lymphoma. The effect of Brentuximabvedotin (BV) has been proven for relapsed or intractable ALCL targeting CD30 as an antibody-chemical adhesive in the recent phase-2 study. As Korea currently lacks real-world evidence in relation to BV, this study was conducted to address BV's effect as salvage therapy for patients with relapsed/refractoryanaplastic large cell lymphoma or Hodgkin lymphoma. This study identified the clinical results for treatment patterns and patients using the collected data and derived critical evidence for treatment decisions.
