Review Title: | Management of peripheral neuropathy associated with brentuximab vedotin in the frontline treatment of classical Hodgkin lymphoma |
Abstract: | The ECHELON-1 trial demonstrated the effectiveness of brentuximab vedotin (BV) in combination with doxorubicin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine as a frontline treatment regimen in classical Hodgkin lymphoma. However, peripheral neuropathy (PN) is common with this regimen, occurring in up to two-thirds of patients. While standard prescribing information recommends BV dose modification at the onset of grade 2 PN, management strategies for PN are not well-defined. Most commonly, clinicians dose reduce or discontinue BV, vinblastine, or both. We review evidence-based and practical approaches for managing peripheral neuropathy, emphasizing early detection and dose modification. © 2024 The Authors |
