Authors' objectives: To assess the available evidence on the efficacy, safety and coverage policy related issues on the use of brentuximab vedotin in patients with Hodgkin´s lymphoma.
Authors' recommendations: The quality of the available evidence to date is very poor and is based on case series reporting interim result measurements and short term follow-up. However, the efficacy data and toxicity profile suggest brentuximab vedotin might be a therapeutic alternative for resistant or relapsing HL patients failing in at least two lines of treatment and in whom HDT/ASCR is contraindicated, or if HDT/ASCR fails.
