Belinostat (trade name Beleodaq, previously known as PXD101) is a histone deacetylase inhibitor drug developed by TopoTarget for the treatment of hematological malignancies and solid tumors.[2]
In 2007 preliminary results were released from the Phase II clinical trial of intravenous belinostat in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel for relapsed ovarian cancer.[4] Final results in late 2009 of a phase II trial for T-cell lymphoma were encouraging.[5]
Belinostat has been granted orphan drug and fast track designation by the FDA,[6] and was approved in the US for the use against peripheral T-cell lymphoma on 3 July 2014.[3] It is not approved in Europe as of August 2014[update].[7]
