Off-label oral therapies include methotrexate, acitretin, and chlorambucil...Chlorambucil is mainly used to treat erythrodermic MF. Investigational oral therapies for MF include tenalisib, duvelisib, cerdulatinib, lenalidomide, bortezomib, and azacytidine, and direct comparison studies between these investigational agents and FDA-approved therapies should be undertaken to better understand their role in the management of MF and SS.

Although data from clinical trials are limited, several new therapies have shown encouraging results, including bispecific antibodies, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy, and small molecules. Treatment choices depend on the MZL subtype, stage, age, comorbidities, and therapeutic goals.

Journal: Regulating the cytotoxicity of anticancer drugs by pillar[6]arene-based host-guest complex. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 5, 2025 Herein, a delivery system for the chemotherapeutic drug chlorambucil (CLB) was developed using the host-guest interaction with amino-pillar[6]arene (NP6)...This process blocks drug efflux while releasing CLB, thereby synergistically enhancing the antitumor effects on HeLa cells. This "one stone, two birds" design strategy-where host-guest complexes facilitate both direct drug delivery and synergistic enhancement of antitumor properties via ATP binding, opens a new perspective for constructing multifunctional supramolecular chemotherapeutic platforms based on pillar[n]arene.

Journal: Photoresponsive prodrug-based liposomes for controllable release of the anticancer drug chlorambucil. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 11, 2024 Cell viability assays showed that LNC liposomes demonstrated very low cytotoxicity in the dark and high cellular toxicity upon light irradiation, with toxicity even higher than free CBL. Our results suggest that our photoresponsive lipid prodrug represents a promising strategy to construct controlled DDS for cancer therapy.

Validation and Implementation of Flow Cytometry Based Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) Assay for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Clinical Studies () - Dec 7, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_8798; P3 Patients with CR or CRi in the acalabrutinib-obinutuzumab arm achieved higher rates of undetectable MRD (uMRD) in peripheral blood samples vs patients with CR or CRi receiving acalabrutinib monotherapy and chlorambucil-obinutuzumab (40.9% vs 8.8% and 8.3%, respectively).Conclusions : Validated six- color flow cytometry CLL- MRD assay is a robust test that has been successfully implemented (exploratory) and proven useful for global clinical studies, as demonstrated by clinical results obtained in ELEVATE-TN study. This flow cytometry assay is being implemented in several global clinical studies as an endpoint (secondary) including in an ongoing phase 3 study AMPLIFY (ACE-CL-311; NCT03836261).

Orelabrutinib-Bruton Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor-Based Regimens in the Treatment of Marginal Zone Lymphoma: A Retrospective Study () - Dec 7, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_8369; Among the 14 untreated pts with a median age of 58.5 years, the treatment regimens were as follows : orelabrutinib alone for 2 pts, orelabrutinib combined with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody for 10 pts, orelabrutinib combined with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody and lenalidomide for 1 pt, and orelabrutinib combined with chlorambucil for 1 pt...Regarding the 11 pts who received later-line therapy, the median age was 67 years, with treatment regimens including orelabrutinib monotherapy for 8 pts, orelabrutinib plus an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody for 2 pts, and orelabrutinib plus BR (bendamustine and rituximab) for 1 pt...At the time of data cut-off, no deaths were observed.Conclusions : This retrospective data indicates promising anti-tumor activity of chemotherapy-free regimens based on orelabrutinib in MZL. Prospective studies are warranted to guide orelabrutinib in MZL.

Journal: Dual stimuli-responsive biotinylated polymer-drug conjugate for dual drug delivery. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 20, 2024 Fostered by the aforementioned conceptualization, our quest to develop an ideal polymer-drug conjugate has originated the present investigation of developing a reactive oxygen species (ROS) and esterase-responsive self-assembled polymer-drug (chlorambucil, CBL) conjugate with biotin pendants (DP2) for cancer cell targeting, surrogating another antineoplastic drug, doxorubicin (DOX) via physical encapsulation (DP2@DOX)...Furthermore, the selective internalization of the fluorophore-tagged DOX-loaded polymer (DP4@DOX) in HeLa cells compared to HEK 293T cells was confirmed by confocal microscopy and flow cytometry. In summary, the present investigation demonstrates a state-of-the-art self-assembled polymer-drug conjugate as a next-generation dual stimuli-responsive drug delivery vehicle.

Journal: Targeting ATR Kinase as a Strategy for Canine Lymphoma and Leukaemia Treatment. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 13, 2024 Berzosertib also acted synergistically with chlorambucil, probably by preventing DNA damage repair as a consequence of S-phase arrest abrogation. In conclusion, ATR inhibition may provide a new therapeutic option for the treatment of canine lymphomas and leukaemias, but further studies are required to determine potential biomarkers of their susceptibility.

Journal: Evaluation of the Amount of Compounded Chemotherapy Drugs: A Comparison Between Nine Compounding Pharmacies. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 13, 2024 Heterogeneity between different batches within the same pharmacy ranged from 0.4% to 58.3% for the 503A pharmacies and 5% to 14.8% for the 503B pharmacy. Although the drug amounts of compounded cyclophosphamide and chlorambucil manufactured by the 503B compounding pharmacy was more reliably maintained compared to that compounded by the 503A pharmacies, there was ultimately still potential for variability in drug amounts regardless of the pharmacy designation.

Clinical Outcomes in Consecutive Newly Diagnosed Patients with Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia Treated with Different Regimens in the Real-World Setting (Halls G-H (San Diego Convention Center)) - Nov 6, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_5096; Results Out of the 711 NDWM pts, 63 (8.9%) were treated with BDR (n=35) / BDR-C (n=28), 263 (37.0%) with DRC, 57 (8.0%) with BTKi and 328 (46.1%) with other older regimens including chlorambucil-based combinations (n=159), chemoimmunotherapy regimens such as RCHOP/RCOP (n=58) and rituximab monotherapy (n=50)...The lack of overt OS benefit, may be due to the use of modern effective salvage therapies, the advanced age of a significant proportion of WM pts which is related to non-WM related mortality and the shorter follow up of the BTKi cohort. Our data suggest that the evaluation of the benefit of new treatments should not be restricted only to traditional endpoints such as PFS, OS and response rates, but should evaluate other patient-oriented metrics including QOL and toxicity burden, especially when continuous is compared to fixed duration treatments.

Ongoing analyses aim to identify relationships between patterns of growth and subclonal growth rates molecular and clinical features.

Addition of Monoclonal Protein to MALT-IPI Improved Identification of MALT Patients at High Risk of Progression with Current First-Line Therapies (Room 6A (San Diego Convention Center)) - Nov 6, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_2304; MALT international prognostic index (IPI) was derived from the IELSG-19 trial wherein patients (pts) were randomized to rituximab (R), chlorambucil, or their combination...ResultsThe study included 468 pts (72% aged ?70 years; 56% women; 42% stage 3/4), whose EMZL was treated with first-line R monotherapy (62%), R-bendamustine (29%), or RCHOP/RCVP (9%)...Measuring the presence of M-protein at diagnosis in all newly diagnosed pts may improve prognostication and influence the choice of therapy. Neither MALT-IPI nor EMZL-MPI provide sufficient prognostication for pts receiving combination immunochemotherapy, and novel prognostic biomarkers are needed for stratification in this setting.

Journal: A metal-coordination stabilized small-molecule nanomedicine with high drug-loading capacity and synergistic photochemotherapy for cancer treatment. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 13, 2024 Here, we propose a small-molecule nanomedicine (CMC NP) directly assembled using a chemotherapeutic drug (chlorambucil, CBL) and a phototherapeutic agent (chlorin e6, Ce6), and stabilized by metal coordination...Owing to the multifaceted efforts from photodynamic, photothermal and chemo-therapies, the CMC NP exhibits excellent antitumor efficacy with negligible systemic toxicity which is untenable in traditional CBL-induced chemotherapy. Therefore, this study provides a feasible strategy for overcoming existing challenges and presents a potential opportunity to augment the clinical therapeutic effectiveness associated with conventional nanomedicine.
