Raffaele Colombo: Does CD30 expression predict the clinical benefit of BV for T- and B-cell lymphomas?

Raffaele Colombo, Associate Director of Medicinal Chemistry at Zymeworks Inc. shared a recent article by Wen Chen, et al, on X:

Recent Advances in Understanding the Clinical Responses of Brentuximab Vedotin in Lymphoma and the Correlation with CD30 Expression

Authors: Wen Chen, Zhihong Zhang.

Raffaele Colombo: Does CD30 expression predict the clinical benefit of BV for T- and B-cell lymphomas?

“Does CD30 expression predict the clinical benefit of brentuximab vedotin (BV) for T- and B-cell lymphomas?

  • Efficacy across a wide range of CD30 expression levels, including low or undetectable CD30
  • Activity not associated with CD30 expression levels.

Considering CD30 is its molecular target, theoretically, the level of CD30 expression should influence the efficacy of BV.

However, the published literature suggests otherwise, as evidenced by the results of various studies conducted in patients with T- and B-cell lymphomas.’
