BV 及其之后：如何将新型药物纳入 PTCL 管理

Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are a heterogenous yet aggressive group of lymphomas that arise from mature T- or NK-cell precursors. Nodal PTCLs include anaplastic large-cell lymphoma, PTCL not otherwise specified, and follicular helper T-cell lymphomas. Recent advances in understanding these heterogenous diseases have prompted investigation of novel agents to improve on treatment. Brentuximab vedotin, a CD30 antibody-drug conjugate, has been incorporated into frontline treatment regimens of CD30-expressing PTCLs based on the ECHELON-2 trial. Multiple ongoing trials are evaluating the addition of other targeted agents in the frontline and relapsed/refractory setting.

These include single-agent brentuximab vedotin, histone deacetylase inhibitors, duvelisib, ruxolitinib, EZH2 inhibitors, and azacitidine, among others. Follicular helper T-cell lymphomas, given frequent mutations in epigenetic regulator genes, may preferentially respond to agents such as histone deacetylase inhibitors, EZH2 inhibitors, and hypomethylating agents. As these therapies evolve in their use for both relapsed/refractory disease and then into frontline treatment, subtype-specific therapy will likely help personalize care for patients with PTCL.
