Brentuximab vedotin.[46,47]

Two phase II trials of 58 patients with variable CD30 expression showed a 50% to 70% response rate with 50% of patients still in remission after 1 year.[46,47][Level of evidence C3]

Mogamulizumab.[48]Mogamulizumab is often avoided in patients scheduled to undergo allogeneic SCT, based on data from a Japanese study that showed an increased risk of severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in patients treated with mogamulizumab beforehand.[49] The relevance of these findings in other countries and the impact of different GVHD prophylaxis regimens in these patients remains to be determined.

In a prospective randomized trial, 372 previously treated patients received either mogamulizumab, a monoclonal antibody directed against C-C chemokine receptor 4, or the HDACi vorinostat.

With a median follow-up of 17 months, the median progression-free survival was 7.7 months for patients who received mogamulizumab and 3.1 months for patients who received vorinostat (HR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.41−0.69; P < .0001).[48][Level of evidence B1]

Mogamulizumab appeared to be especially effective in patients with blood involvement, such as those with Sézary syndrome.
