- |||||||||| Journal: Standardization of CD30 immunohistochemistry staining among three automated immunostaining platforms. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 22, 2024
The concordance rates among three platforms in the evaluation of "positive" or "negative" were 100% and 97% when the cutoff values were 1% and 10% respectively, if using 400-diluted antibody in B III and 100-diluted antibody in DO. This study demonstrated the feasibility of equalizing CD30 staining of PTCLs among different platforms by adjusting protocols.

Retrospective data, Journal: Histopathologic and Clinical Characterization of Brentuximab Vedotin-associated Rash. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 15, 2024 In 17 specimens with immunohistochemistry, the CD4:CD8 ratio in intraepidermal lymphocytes was relatively normal (1-6:1) in 65% (11/17) and 1:1 in 35% (6/17), demonstrating a trend toward increased CD8-positive cells compared with baseline CTCL. We have identified features that can help distinguish BVAR from a patient's CTCL, which can, in turn, help guide appropriate clinical management.

Review, Journal: Pediatric and Adolescent Hodgkin Lymphoma: Paving the Way for Standards of Care and Shared Decision Making. (Pubmed Central) - May 24, 2024 The advent of checkpoint inhibitors and the CD30-targeted antibody drug conjugate, brentuximab vedotin, has provided new options for de-escalation of conventional therapies associated with late effects in survivors treated at a young age...Given excellent survival outcomes, decisions about treatment in classic HL should be collaborative and attention to long-term survivorship needs should remain a high priority. Patient-reported outcomes remain an important tool to aid clinicians working with survivors to optimize health status and related quality of life for decades after HL therapy.

Activated regulatory T cells in solid tumors express CD30, which are selectively targeted by the novel anti-CD30 antibody drug conjugate SGN-35T (Exhibit Hall B) - Sep 27, 2023 - Abstract #SITC2023SITC_1457; P2 It is currently being tested in combination with pembrolizumab for the ability to deplete Tregs and increase immune checkpoint activity in anti-PD-1-refractory metastatic melanoma and NSCLC (NCT04609566)...Conclusions Thus, the cytotoxic activity of SGN-35T on CD30-expressing Tregs is likely a combination of the enrichment of CD30 expression on activated Tregs coupled with reduced drug efflux capacity. Together, these data support future clinical investigation of SGN-35T in combination with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitors in solid tumors.

Journal: Incorporating novel agents into frontline treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma.

In this article, we provide a case-based approach to the use of novel agents in the frontline treatment of cHL.

Peripheral Neuropathy in Children with High Risk Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL): The Role of Protocol-Stipulated Dose Modification in the Children's Oncology Group (COG) AHOD1331 Study (ENMCC - Hall D) - Nov 4, 2022 - Abstract #ASH2022ASH_4294; P3 Background Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is commonly associated with several classes of chemotherapy, including vinca alkaloids and the novel anti-CD30-directed antibody-drug conjugate, Brentuximab vedotin (Bv)...In the 2018 Echelon-1 study, rates of PN among adults with advanced stage HL were 67% in the Bv arm as compared to 43% in the control arm (Connors, 2018) with dose modifications at the discretion of the treating physician of 66% for Bv and 57% for vinblastine (VBL)...While there were no significant differences in the rate of PN between study arms, we found shorter median time to dose modification in the exp arm, corresponding to the second treatment cycle, as compared to the 3rd cycle for the std arm. Despite dose modifications of vincristine and Bv as management strategies for PN in the experimental arm, patients treated with Bv-AVEPC had superior disease control in children with high-risk HL.

Journal: Inhibitors of A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinases-10 reduce Hodgkin lymphoma cell growth in 3D microenvironments and enhance brentuximab-vedotin effect. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 5, 2022 In these 3D systems we found that: 1) the ADAM10 inhibitors LT4 and MN8 reduce ATP content or glucose consumption, related to cell proliferation, increasing lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release as a cell damage hallmark; 2) these events are paralleled by mixed spheroids size reduction and inhibition of CD30 and TNFα shedding; 3) the effects observed can be reproduced in repopulated HL LN-derived matrix or collagen scaffolds; 4) ADAM10 inhibitors enhance the antilymphoma effect of the anti-CD30 ADC BtxVed both in conventional cultures and in repopulated scaffolds. Thus, we provide evidence for direct and combined anti-lymphoma effect of ADAM10 inhibitors with BtxVed, leading to improvement of ADC effects; this is documented in 3D models recapitulating features of LN microenvironment, that can be proposed as reliable tool for antilymphoma drug testing.

BRENTUXIMAB VEDOTIN (BV) FOLLOWED BY BENDAMUSTINE SUPERCHARGE (BS) FOR REFRACTORY OR RELAPSED (R/R) CLASSICAL-HODGKIN LYMPHOMA (C-HL): 3-YEAR UPDATE OF THE BV+BS-21 STUDY () - Dec 25, 2021 - Abstract #SIE2021SIE_114; Ten patients (29%) experienced grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events consisting of cytomegalovirus reactivation (median CMV-DNA, 1810 IU/mL; range, 620-170 000 IU/mL) with fever (successfully treated with preemptive therapy with valganciclovir) in 7 cases and neutropenia in 3 cases, all resolved without requiring hospitalization...In this last sub-group, for 12 patients PBSC were previously harvested after two courses of Ifosfamide, Gemcitabine, Vinorelbine and Prednisolone; in the remaining 10 cases PBSC were successfully collected after Bv+Bs21, with mobilization with G-CSF, vinorelbine-cyclophosphamide and/or plerixafor regimen...At a median follow-up of 42 months (1-94 months) from Bv+Bs-21 regimen termination, the estimated 3-year PFS of the entire population was 94% (95% confidence interval, 84.4%-100%). In conclusion, our clinical data indicate that bendamustine (an old and low-cost cytotoxic agent) used in a new schedule modality (i.e., administered at increased dose and afterward the first-in-class antibody drug conjugate targeting CD30), has highly synergistic activity in outpatient salvage regimen against R/R HRS cells of patients aged <60 years.

Future studies may further address the mechanism of hyperglycemia from BV and if the resultant diabetes is reversible.
