Lenalidomide plus Rituximab Rituximab and lenalidomide, as single agents, have antilymphoma activity in vivo and in vitro. Pattern of side effects is different and not overlapping. The cytotoxic effect of Rituximab appears to involve CDC, ADCC and induction of apoptosis. Recent data suggest that the modulation of immunoeffector cells by lenalidomide can enhance the antitumor activity of rituximab and partially overcome the rituximab resistance in cell lines of relapsed/refractory NHL. Lenalidomide appears in fact to greatly enhance the monocyte and NK-mediated ADCC exerted by rituximab, resulting in an increase of cancer cell killing compared to the single drugs
Clinical Protocol Phase II study of lenalidomide in combination with rituximab (R) for the treatment of indolent non follicular non Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL ). Study ID: INFL8 Eudract Number: 28-1591-8 Sponsor Gruppo Italiano Studio Linfomi Centro Oncologico Modenese Policlinico di Modena via del Pozzo 71 411 Modena
Bendamustine TREANDA
Bendamustine is a cytostatic drug that combines a purine-like benzamidazole nucleus with a bifunctional alkylating nitrogen mustard group. The drug was first synthesized in the 196s. Limited data were published during the initial period of investigation. It is active against a large panel of cell line. Tn the animal model Bendamustine showed a sinergistic interaction with Rituximab
Activity of Bendamustine All NHL types except T limphoma CLL Breast Cancer Small cell lung cancer
Activity as single agent in indolent lymphoma ORR = 7% DR = 6.7 months Friedberg et al, JCO 28 Activity in combination with Rituximab ORR = 9% PFS = 3 months Rummel data
Toxicity Neutropenia Thrombocitopenia Anemia Nausea-Vomiting Secondary cancer?
