What targeted therapies are showing promise for the treatment of patients with pediatric lymphoma?
Cole firstly summarizes trial data for brentuximab vedotin, a CD30-targeting antibody–drug conjugate, and it's potential to replace chemotherapy as frontline treatment. He then describes the CheckMate-744 trial, investigating a combination of nivolumab, a checkpoint inhibitor, with brentuximab vedotin in children with relapsed/refractory Hodgkin lymphoma. He finishes by outlining future trials for these novel agents.
