    Background: Brentuximab vedotin (BV) has demonstrated high remission rates in clinical trials for systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (sALCL), yet its real-world effectiveness in China remains unconfirmed. This retrospective observational study evaluates BVbased regimens in patients with sALCL, treated from 2020 to 2023.A multi-center observational retrospective study was conducted on patients with sALCL received BV plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (CHP) upfront or BV plus gemcitabine, oxaliplatin (GemOx), gemcitabine, cisplatin , dexamethasone(GDP), or isocyclophosphamide, carboplatin, etoposide (ICE)for later lines.Primary endpoints were complete response rate (CRR) and overall response rate (ORR); secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), duration of response (DOR), and the incidence of adverse events (AEs).Results: Among the 38 patients (28 newly diagnosed and 10 with refractory/relapsed disease), the ORR were 100% (with 89.3% CR) for newly diagnosed patients and 70% (with 50% CR) for refractory/relapsed patients. The median duration of response was 14 months for newly diagnosed patients and 23.8 months for those with refractory/relapsed disease. 2-year Survival rates were 100% for newly diagnosed patients and 80% for refractory/relapsed patients, with 2-year PFS rates of 92.8% and 70%, respectively. Neurological toxicities were commonly observed but resolved following the completion of treatment.BV has proven to be effective and well-tolerated in realworld settings for the treatment of sALCL, reinforcing its potential as a promising option for first-line or subsequent therapy. The sustained efficacy observed post-CR suggests that these patients may have a prolonged disease control.
