Efficacy of brentuximab vedotin. (Right) Swimmer plot of individual outcome. On the left, summary of clinical response, radiological response of target lesions according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Lymphoma criteria (% change in sum of diameters of target lesions) and metabolic uptake on [18F]2-fluoro- 2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) Epstein Barr virus (EBV) log change for EBV-related B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD). In three cases, brentuximab vedotin (BV) was started while the LPD was in a partial response after two courses of COP (cyclophosphamide, vincristine and prednisone) for the LPD1 of P1, one injection of rituximab (375mg/m) and ten days of steroids for P2, and five injections of rituximab (375 mg/m) for P4. In two cases (P3 and P7), the LPD was refractory to rituximab. P1 presented a second LPD, or an immunogenetically evolved relapse, which was not associated with a loss of CD30 expression. The median time to an objective response was 2.6 months (range, 0.56-3.91). However, a clinical improvement was apparent in the first weeks after treatment. aHSCT: allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
