BV is a key therapy for CD30-positive CTCL. While real-world experience suggests potential activity in CD30-negative or low disease, prospective trials are needed to define its role in this challenging subgroup.

Treatment with brentuximab vedotin yielded early alleviation of pruritus and progressive resolution of lesions by the third cycle, with favorable tolerability. This case serves as a foundation for a narrative review that underscores the diagnostic challenges associated with "allergic-appearing" eruptions in patients with T-cell lymphoma, the importance of integrated staging utilizing TNMB (skin/blood) in conjunction with Lugano/Deauville positron emission tomography-computed tomography to assess systemic burden and therapeutic response, and biologically informed systemic therapy options aligned with comorbidities, including emerging targeted treatment strategies.

For multifocal or relapsed disease, brentuximab vedotin demonstrates the most robust prospective data and has reshaped the treatment landscape; however, alternative systemic therapies, including methotrexate and retinoids, remain relevant in selected patients. Overall, current management is supported largely by non-randomized data, and key gaps remain in risk stratification, optimal sequencing of therapies, and management of uncommon aggressive variants.

An analysis of early phase clinical trial data reveals encouraging efficacy, with high rates of durable complete responses observed even in heavily pretreated patients who have failed brentuximab vedotin therapy...While these findings are promising, it is essential to acknowledge that the current evidence base remains preliminary, derived from small, heterogeneous patient cohorts and requiring validation in larger, more definitive trials with extended follow-up. By successfully addressing the challenge of fratricide, anti-CD30 CAR-T therapy holds the potential to become a transformative and potentially curative option for patients with R/R ALCL and may offer a valuable blueprint for developing effective immunotherapies against other T-cell malignancies.
