Background and purpose: Peripheral neuropathy is a frequent complication of brentuximab vedotin (BV), used in CD30+ lymphoma treatment. Classic BV‐induced neuropathy (BV‐CN) is a mild distal sensory axonal polyneuropathy. Severe BV‐induced inflammatory neuropathies (BV‐IN) have been described. BV‐IN contribute to lymphoma‐associated morbidity but might be immunotherapy‐responsive. Our primary objective was to evaluate the rate of BV‐IN. Our secondary objectives were to determine risk factors and warning signs. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study on all patients treated with BV at our center between April 2014 and September 2021. Clinical, biological, and electrophysiological data were collected. BV‐induced neuropathy was defined as the occurrence of neuropathy up to 3 months after BV discontinuation. BV‐IN was defined with criteria adapted from European Academy of Neurology/Peripheral Nerve Society 2021 electrodiagnostic criteria for chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy. Other neuropathies were classified as BV‐CN. Results: Among 83 patients, 41 (49%) developed neuropathy: 35 BV‐CN and 6 BV‐IN. Thus, the rate of BV‐IN was 7.2%. Compared to patients with BV‐CN, no predisposing factor was identified. However, patients with BV‐IN more frequently presented muscle weakness (67% vs. 5.7%, p < 0.05), gait disorders (83% vs. 20%, p < 0.05), or acute or subacute onset (67% vs. 14%, p < 0.05). BV‐IN was frequently more severe (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade ≥3; 50% vs. 0%, p < 0.05). Four patients were treated with immunotherapy. Conclusions: Brentuximab vedotin‐induced neuropathy is an overlooked complication. Based on four easily identifiable "red flags", we provide an algorithm to help non‐neurologist physicians that care for BV‐treated patients to detect BV‐IN. The aim of the algorithm is to decrease the diagnostic and management delay of this disabling neuropathy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
