Zydelig (idelalisib)

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia in Western countries, and B-cell receptor (BCR) pathway inhibitors such as idelalisib and ibrutinib are currently established therapies for CLL. We conclude that BCR pathway inhibitors enhance AID mutational activity in CLL, but this does not appear to be directly involved in driving drug resistance. AID-targeted loci may nonetheless serve as biomarkers for monitoring genomic instability during treatment and inform further study.

Furthermore, idelalisib treatment promoted differentiation of conventional CD4+ T cells into Th1, Th2, and Th17 subsets-a response not observed with roginolisib. In summary, roginolisib functions as an effective PI3K inhibitor on leukemic cells while preserving T-cell functions, posing it as an alternative to current PI3K inhibitors.

In the syngeneic CT26 model, dual PI3Kδ/γ inhibition (BR101801 or duvelisib), unlike selective PI3Kδ inhibition (idelalisib), synergized with RT (7.5 Gy) to suppress tumor growth and induce durable immune memory. Furthermore, blockade of the IFN-I receptor abolished CD8+ T cell infiltration and M2-like macrophage suppression, abrogating antitumor efficacy and confirming the requirement for IFN-I signaling. These findings identify macrophage-driven activation of the cGAS-STING-IFN-I axis as a key mechanism by which dual PI3Kδ/γ inhibition potentiates RT, providing a strong scientific rationale for its development as an immunomodulatory radiosensitizer.

Comparative analysis with idelalisib revealed similar toxicity profiles to Qona11, distinct from vincristine. In vivo studies in NOD/SCID mice bearing Jurkat xenografts showed that Qona11 (100 mg.kg-1) was well tolerated with no systemic toxicity, although it did not inhibit leukemia cell proliferation in immune-independent models. Overall, Qona11 exhibits promising anticancer activity and low systemic toxicity, warranting further preclinical investigation in solid tumor models and combination therapies.

We present a case of invasive cutaneous mucormycosis in an elderly man with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), who was receiving a Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK)-targeted protein degrader trial drug (BGB-16673), obinutuzumab, a newer anti-CD20 monoclonal therapy, and idelalisib, a phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitor. Clinical cure was achieved with limb amputation, given the extent of disease. This case underscores the necessity of a low index of suspicion for mucormycosis on presentation, critical appraisal of the patient's risk factors, and a multimodal approach to diagnosis.

This study examined the effects of signaling pathway inhibitors ibrutinib, idelalisib, duvelisib, and venetoclax on the expression of immune checkpoint ligands: Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1), galectin-9 (Gal-9), cluster of differentiation (CD)200, CD155, and herpes virus entry mediator (HVEM) in CLL leukemic cells. Altogether, the treatment of leukemic cells with different SMIs in this study indicated increased or decreased variations in the expression level of immune checkpoint inhibitory ligands in CLL. Therefore, these mechanisms should be considered for further treatment approaches, especially for combinational strategies.

We comprehensively evaluate FDA-approved targeted agents, including monoclonal antibodies (rituximab, brentuximab vedotin, obinutuzumab, mogamulizumab), immune checkpoint inhibitors (nivolumab, pembrolizumab), CAR T-cell therapies (axi-cel, tisa-cel, liso-cel, brexu-cel), bispecific T-cell engagers (mosunetuzumab, epcoritamab), and small-molecule inhibitors (ibrutinib, idelalisib, venetoclax). In conclusion, understanding the molecular basis of lymphoma and resistance mechanisms is critical to optimizing targeted therapy. This review synthesizes current evidence to inform clinical decision-making and outlines future directions for durable, personalized lymphoma care.

In cases of phosphoinositide-3-kinase δ (PI3Kδ) inactivation, such as in patients receiving PI3Kδ inhibitor idelalisib as a cancer treatment, breakdown of intestinal immune tolerance occurs frequently in the form of diarrhea and colon inflammation...We demonstrate reduced extrathymic Treg induction, in vitro and in vivo, from naïve CD4+ T cells with inactive PI3Kδ, along with dysregulation of a tissue-resident phenotype. These results suggest a nonredundant role for PI3Kδ-dependent pTreg differentiation in maintaining tolerance to commensal microbial antigens in the gut.

HL-60 cells were treated with Idelalisib, MK-2206, and Everolimus, selective PI3K, AKT, and mTOR inhibitors, either individually or in combination. PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitors significantly induce autophagy-related gene expression in AML cells. These findings support combining such inhibitors with autophagy modulators as a potential strategy to improve AML treatment outcomes.
