Introduction: Hodgkin's lymphoma is a B-cell neoplasm with a good prognosis but a poor response to chemotherapy in refractory or relapsed cases. Brentuximab-vedotin is an anti-CD30 monoclonal antibody approved for use in these cases. This study aims to describe the clinical experience of patients treated with brentuximab-vedotin through expanded access modality. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study on clinical information of patients diagnosed with refractory or relapsed Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with brentuximab-vedotin at the Regional Hospital of Concepción in the period 2015-2021. Results: 7 patients were identified, 5/7 male, with a median age of 35 years (21-50). Five cases were mixed cellularity, and two were nodular sclerosis. Four were in stage II, 1/7 in stage III, and 3/7 in stage IV. The median number of previous treatment lines was 4 (3-5), and the relapse was post-transplantation in two cases. In 6/7 cases, brentuximab-vedotin was used as induction, and in one case, it was used as post-autologous bone marrow transplant maintenance. The administration was outpatient via a peripheral route with a median dose of 150 mg and ten cycles. In one case, dose adjustment was required due to toxicity. Three out of 6 patients achieved complete remission and underwent autologous stem cell transplantation. Conclusion: brentuximab-vedotin is an outpatient medication with low toxicity that can optimize the treatment of patients with relapsed-refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma.
