Abstract
Introduction Despite high cure rates with standard treatment, 30% patients with Hodgkin lymphoma develop relapsed or refractory (R/R) disease. Salvage therapy followed by autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is considered standard of care. Brentuximab Vedotin (Bv) in combination with Bendamustine (B) has been tested in the salvage setting with promising results. Materials and Methodology We conducted a single centre retrospective chart review of patients who received BBv salvage therapy to determine its activity and safety in patients with R/R classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Between May 2011- December 2019, 179 patients were diagnosed with R/R HL. Results Thirty patients received BBv [median age: 30 (15-59) years, females (n=15)]. Primary refractory disease in 19 patients (63%), and 26 patients (87%) had advanced stage at treatment. Most patients received BBv after 2 prior lines of therapy [n=16 (53%)]. The median number of cycles of BBv were 3 (1-6). The number of BBv cycles delivered as outpatient was 63%. The most common Grade III/IV hematological adverse event was neutropenia [n=21, (70%)], while grade III/IV non-hematological toxicities included infections in 4 (13%), neuropathy in 4(13%), skin rash in 2 (7%), GI toxicities in 3 (10%) and liver dysfunction in 2 (7%) patients. The ORR and CR rates were 79% and 62%, respectively. Seventeen patients (57%) underwent an autologous HCT and 8 (26%) underwent an Allogeneic HCT (all haploidentical). The median follow up time from BBv administration was 12 months. Six patients died: 2 = disease progression, and 4 = non-relapse causes (Infection and sepsis = 2, GVHD=2). In addition to this, one patient progressed soon after HCT and another patient relapsed 22 months post HCT. Three year Overall survival (OS) and Event free survival (EFS) probability post-BBv treatment was 75% and 58%, respectively. OS and EFS analysis based on response (viz., CMR) to BBv demonstrated that patients in CMR had better survival probability [93% (p=0.0022) 3yr-OS and 72% (p=0.038) 3yr-EFS probability]. Conclusions BBv is an active and well-tolerated salvage treatment for patients with R/R HL, even in refractory and advanced settings. In middle-income settings, cost constraints and access determine patient uptake of this regimen.

Abstract
PURPOSE High-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is used to treat patients with relapsed Hodgkin's lymphoma. In this retrospective study we report our experience with patients who underwent HDCT and ASCT. METHODS All patients ≥15 years old with relapsed/refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma who underwent HDCT and ASCT between June 2001 and December 2013 were included. RESULTS Fifty-four patients were identified. Median age at transplant was 22 years (range 15-49 years); 26 were men and 28 were women. Forty-eight patients (89%) underwent HDCT and ASCT after achieving a radiological response to salvage chemotherapy. The rate of radiological complete response to salvage chemotherapy was 13% and reached 50% within 3 months of ASCT in assessable patients. After a median follow-up of 25 months, 31 patients (57%) were still alive with no evidence of relapse or progression. Median event-free survival (EFS) was 24 months (95% CI 8.7-39.3) and 3-year EFS was 56%. Median overall survival (OS) was not reached and 3-year OS was 82.5%. Bulky mediastinal disease at relapse, hemoglobin level, and number of salvage regimens did not significantly impact EFS in univariate and multivariate analyses. After transplantation there was a trend towards longer EFS (30 vs. 24 months; p = 0.36) in patients with a longer time from the end of first-line treatment until relapse (≥12 vs. <12 months). The 100-day transplant-related mortality was 5.5%. CONCLUSIONS HDCT and ASCT for relapsed/refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma is safe. Our findings are consistent with published phase III results. Longer follow-up is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (sALCL) both have consistent expression of CD30, a cytokine receptor that is expressed by activated T and B cells but is largely absent from normal tissue. METHODS A literature search was conducted via PubMed, Google Scholar, and UpToDate to identify relevant peer-reviewed original research or review articles on HL, sALCL, and CD30 targeted therapies. RESULTS These lymphomas are both more common among males, young adults and the elderly. Although many patients with HL and sALCL can achieve long-term remission after standard first-line therapy, up to a third of these patients are refractory to or relapse after initial therapy. Among these relapsed/refractory patients, many experience disease progression and/or death despite subsequent treatment, and treatment-related adverse events and mortality are not uncommon. To address the need for safer and more effective therapies for these relapsed/refractory patients, researchers have developed therapies that specifically target CD30-expressing cells. Brentuximab vedotin, an antibody-drug conjugate that selectively delivers a toxic microtubule-disrupting agent to malignant cells with CD30 expression, is the first such therapy to be approved in the US and Europe. In clinical trials, brentuximab vedotin has demonstrated efficacy and safety in patients with HL after failure of autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), or after failure of at least two prior multi-agent chemotherapy regimens in patients who are not ASCT candidates, and in patients with sALCL after failure of at least one prior multi-agent chemotherapy regimen. CONCLUSION HL and sALCL are both CD30+ lymphomas, and therapies like brentuximab vedotin that target cells expressing CD30 hold promise for the treatment of these diseases.

Abstract
Brentuximab vedotin (SGN-35), an intravenously administered CD30-specific antibody-drug conjugate, has recently been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for two indications, including (i) patients with Hodgkin lymphoma relapsing after autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT), or after two multidrug regimens in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma who are not candidates for ASCT; and (ii) patients with systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) who failed at least one prior multidrug chemotherapy regimen. Patients with Hodgkin lymphoma and ALCL treated with brentuximab vedotin showed markedly high response rates for a single agent, exceeding 70% and 80% for Hodgkin lymphoma and ALCL, respectively. The complete response rate was equally as impressive, at 34% and 57% for Hodgkin lymphoma and ALCL, respectively. Results like these and from many other upcoming clinical trials, in which brentuximab vedotin is being investigated in the frontline setting, promise to profoundly change how we manage the CD30-positive lymphoproliferative malignancies. The mechanism of action, preclinical antitumor activity, and clinical activity of brentuximab vedotin against Hodgkin lymphoma, ALCL, and other CD30-expressing lymphomas are reviewed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Brentuximab vedotin is an antibody-drug conjugate designed to selectively deliver monomethyl auristatin E, a microtubule-disrupting agent, to CD30-expressing cells. Brentuximab vedotin induces durable objective responses in patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). The objective of this post-hoc analysis was to characterize the safety and efficacy of brentuximab vedotin for patients with relapsed or refractory HL who refused or were ineligible for ASCT. METHODS This case series included 20 transplant-naïve patients who were enrolled in two phase I multicenter studies. Patients received brentuximab vedotin intravenously every 3 weeks or every week for 3 out of 4 weeks. RESULTS The majority of patients were transplant-naïve because of chemorefractory disease. Median age was 31.5 years (range, 12-87 years). Treatment-emergent adverse events in >20% of patients were peripheral neuropathy, fatigue, nausea, pyrexia, diarrhea, weight decreased, anemia, back pain, decreased appetite, night sweats, and vomiting; most events were grade 1 or 2. Six patients obtained objective responses: two complete remissions and four partial remissions. Median duration of response was not met; censored durations ranged from >6.8 to >13.8 months. Three of six responders subsequently received ASCT. CONCLUSION Brentuximab vedotin was associated with manageable adverse events in transplant-naïve patients with relapsed or refractory HL. The objective responses observed demonstrate that antitumor activity is not limited to patients who received brentuximab vedotin after ASCT. The promising activity observed in this population warrants further study.

Abstract
We recognized a few possible complications of classical Hodgkin lymphoma therapy in a cohort of 209 patients: 8 developed a primary refractory disease (primary progression), 36 showed an early relapse and 21 showed a late relapse. Sialyl-CD15 expression in Hodgkin-Reed-Sternberg cells was significantly more positive in primary refractory Hodgkin lymphoma, which confirms our previously published findings. Bcl-2 showed a significantly lower level of expression in primary refractory disease than in the other follow-up groups. This is in contrast with a previous finding of Bcl-2, associated with a poor prognosis in primary refractory illness. Another category of variables, old age and advanced stages, was significantly different in the various complications but this finding is probably to be expected. We could not demonstrate a difference between the sequels and the control group with regard to several clinical and immunohistochemical markers. Sialyl-CD15 and Bcl-2 expression, in contrast, were confirmed as prognostic factors, mainly of tumor progression into primary refractory disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) has no standard of care for patients who are relapsed or refractory to autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT). This phase II study examined safety and activity of panobinostat in this population. PATIENTS AND METHODS Panobinostat 40 mg was administered orally three times per week. The primary end point was objective response rate (ORR) based on investigator assessment of radiologic imaging. Secondary end points included ORR by independent central review, time to response (TTR), duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival, and safety. Exploratory biomarker analyses were performed. RESULTS The 129 treated patients (median age, 32 years; range, 18 to 75 years) were heavily pretreated with a median of four (range, two to seven) prior systemic regimens, and 41% did not respond to the regimen immediately preceding panobinostat. Tumor reductions occurred in 96 patients (74%). Objective response was achieved by 35 patients (27%), including 30 (23%) partial responses and five (4%) complete responses. The median TTR was 2.3 months, median DOR was 6.9 months, and median PFS was 6.1 months. The estimated 1-year overall survival rate was 78%. Common nonhematologic adverse events (AEs)-diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue-were generally grade 1 and 2. Most common grade 3 and 4 hematologic AEs-thrombocytopenia, anemia, and neutropenia-were manageable. Early reductions in thymus and activation-regulated chemokine were observed in patients achieving complete or partial response. CONCLUSION In the largest, prospective, multicenter, international trial conducted in heavily pretreated patients with HL who relapsed or were refractory to ASCT, panobinostat monotherapy demonstrated antitumor activity, resulting in durable responses.

Abstract
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 new antibody-drug conjugate, brentuximab vedotin (SGN-35), which conjugates monomethyl auristatin E to an anti-CD30 antibody to deliver targeted toxicity to the malignant Reed Sternberg cells of HL. This review describes CD30 as an antibody target, and focuses on the antibody-drug conjugate brentuximab vedotin, including current knowledge of the mechanism of action, preclinical, clinical and pharmacokinetic data available for Brentuximab Vedotin.

Abstract
For patients with relapsed Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), high dose chemotherapy with stem cell rescue (HDCT-SCT) may improve survival over chemotherapy alone. We assessed the outcomes of HDCT-SCT in 37 consecutive adolescent and young adult patients with relapsed HL whose malignancy was categorized based on sensitivity to chemotherapy. We determined whether current outcomes supported the use of HDCT-SCT in all of our patients or just those patients with lower-risk characteristics such as chemosensitivity. With a median follow-up of 6.5 years, the 2-year overall survival (OS) was 89% (95% CI: 62-97%) for the chemosensitive patients (n = 21), whereas for patients with resistant disease (n = 16), OS was 53% (95% CI: 25-74%). Both autologous and allogeneic transplants were well tolerated, with 100-day treatment-related mortality under 10%. Our data show encouraging outcomes for patients with chemosensitive relapsed HL who receive hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) and support the value of the procedure even when the disease is chemoresistant.

Abstract
With advancements in diagnosis and treatment for lymphoma, it is important that physicians be up to date in the management of these lymphoproliferative disorders, their associated complications, and the complications of treatment. The importance of a thorough examination of the oro-facial complex and neck on all patients cannot be overemphasized. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons continue to make significant contributions in what has become a multidisciplinary approach to managing lymphoproliferative disease.

Abstract
The antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) cAC10-vcMMAE consists of the tubulin inhibitor monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) conjugated to the chimeric anti-CD30 monoclonal antibody cAC10. This ADC potently interferes with the growth of CD30-positive haematological tumours, including Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and anaplastic large-cell lymphoma. This study found improved antitumour activity in a preclinical model of HL when SGN-35 was combined with chemotherapeutic regimens such as ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine and dacarbazine) or gemcitabine. Improved efficacy was also observed in high tumour burden models, indicating that combining ADCs with chemotherapeutic agents may be advantageous for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory HL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) is particularly rare in Asia, including Taiwan. The report concerning its clinical features and treatment outcomes in Asians is limited. An exploration of the characteristics of HL in this area is of importance for future studies. METHODS In this study, 133 patients with HL diagnosed between January 1985 and December 2004 at National Taiwan University Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS The age distribution revealed a young-adult peak at the age around 20 years. The nodular sclerosis type (NS-HL) was the most common histopathologic subtype (45%), followed by mixed cellularity (29%), lymphocyte predominant (13%), and lymphocyte depleted subtype (2%). The incidence of NS-HL was, however, lower compared with that in the West (around 70%). The male to female ratio was approximately 1:2 in patients with NS-HL, in contrast to the male predominance in patients with other subtypes. Induction therapy led to complete remission (CR) in 87% of patients. At a median follow-up of 78 months, the 10-year overall survival (OS) was 79% in all HL patients and was 90% in those who achieved first CR. In multivariate analysis, the achievement of CR was the only independent factor associated with good OS. CONCLUSION The treatment response of HL in Taiwan is good and comparable to that in Western countries. The epidemiologic differences between Taiwan and the West mandate further studies.
