In addition, combining KA2237 with currently available chemotherapeutic agents synergistically inhibited metabolic growth. This study elucidates the compensatory upregulated PI3K/AKT axis that emerges in ibrutinib-resistant cells.
Pts ≥ 18 years (yrs) of age, ECOG ≤ 2, with B-cell lymphoma R/R or intolerant of established therapies (including rituximab) were enrolled using a 3+3 dose escalation (50-400mg) design. KA2237 is an oral, once a day, selective dual inhibitor of PI3K β/δ with a manageable toxicity profile and promising single-agent clinical activity in heavily pretreated R/R B-cell lymphoma. The recommended phase II dose is 200mg daily. The findings of this study support the further evaluation of KA2237.
