Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) represents a serious complication
following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT). Previously, survival
rates of PTLD have improved due to the introduction of rituximab. However, reports on
curative management of refractory PTLD are scarce. Today, there is no consensus how to
treat rituximab-refractory PTLD, especially in highly aggressive disease. Here, we describe

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) represents a serious complication following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT). Previously, survival rates of PTLD have improved due to the introduction of rituximab. However, reports on curative management of refractory PTLD are scarce. Today, there is no consensus how to treat rituximab-refractory PTLD, especially in highly aggressive disease. Here, we describe successful management of refractory EBV-associated PTLD, specifically DLBCL, with combined brentuximab vedotin and third-party EBV-specific T-cells in a multidisciplinary treatment approach.
