A phase II exploratory study of PXD-101 (belinostat) followed by Zevalin in patients with relapsed aggressive high-risk lymphoma

Oncology Sep 12, 2017

Puvvada S.D, et al. – This single-arm phase II study gauged if PXD-101 would increase major histocompatibility complex class II (MHCII) expression, synergize with Zevalin, and improve clinical outcomes. A priori identification of responding patients was precluded by the pleotropic effects of histone deacetylase inhibition and lack of clinical biomarkers. In this study, the importance of a clinically feasible biomarker was emphasized.

Methods

  • Geared toward heavily pretreated patients with CD20-positive aggressive lymphomas (aNHL), this was a single-center open-label phase II trial (NCT01686165).
  • Overall response rate (ORR) in aNHL patients treated with 2 cycles of PXD-101 followed by restaging CT and 1 cycle of Zevalin was the primary endpoint. 

Results

  • This study incorporated five patients, and all were heavily pretreated.
  • This study found therapy as well tolerated.
  • In addition, nausea and vomiting were the most frequent adverse events.
  • After receiving therapy, all patients progressed.
  • The study did not achieve the required ORR to proceed to the next stage.
