lüll The emerging role of targeted therapy for hematologic malignancies: update on bortezomib and tipifarnib Armand JP; Burnett AK; Drach J; Harousseau JL; Lowenberg B; San Miguel JOncologist 2007[Mar]; 12 (3): 281-90As therapy for hematologic malignancy evolves, new regimens and novel agents that target specific cellular processes allow a more optimistic prognosis for many patients. Bortezomib and tipifarnib are two new, targeted treatments for hematologic malignancies. Bortezomib, a proteasome inhibitor, has shown impressive efficacy in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma and as initial treatment, including before autologous stem cell transplantation. It has been studied as monotherapy and in combination with standard treatments such as dexamethasone, and with newer agents such as the immunomodulators thalidomide and lenalidomide; response is encouraging, even in patients who have relapsed after previously receiving components of a regimen as single agents. Bortezomib is generally well tolerated, including in combination with novel and conventional agents. Tipifarnib is a specific inhibitor of farnesyltransferase. Clinical trials in patients with high-risk acute leukemias and myelodysplastic syndromes have demonstrated good efficacy with tipifarnib. Continued investigation with these new, targeted treatments will further define their use as treatment options in patients with hematologic cancer.|Antineoplastic Agents/adverse effects/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Antineoplastic Combined Chemotherapy Protocols/therapeutic use[MESH]|Boronic Acids/adverse effects/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Bortezomib[MESH]|Clinical Trials, Phase II as Topic[MESH]|Clinical Trials, Phase III as Topic[MESH]|Hematologic Neoplasms/*drug therapy[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Pyrazines/adverse effects/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Quinolones/adverse effects/*therapeutic use[MESH] |
