Bendamustine: a new look at an old drug.

Abstract:

:Alkylating agents form the basis of most combination treatment regimens for low-grade lymphoproliferative disorders. Bendamustine is a unique alkylating agent that has distinctive preclinical activity in cell lines resistant to other alkylators. Furthermore, clinical activity has been demonstrated in patients with alkylating agent resistant disease. Recently, larger studies have been organized to study the clinical effects of bendamustine further. In indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that is resistant to rituximab, bendamustine induced a remission in 77% of patients. Myelosuppression was identified as the most common toxicity. In 2 studies of similar populations of patients, the combination of bendamustine and rituximab induced remission 90% of patients with a median progression-free survival of 23-24 months. The overall remission rate was 59% in a prospective, randomized study of untreated patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, which was significantly greater than the rate of 26% in the chlorambucil control arm (P < 0.001). Combined with rituximab, bendamustine induces a remission in 67% of patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Bendamustine is an active agent for the treatment of low-grade lymphoproliferative disorders and more study is needed to determine which dose and schedule is optimal, and which patients will derive the greatest benefit from its use.
