A Triple Oral Combination of Bendamustine, Acalabrutinib, and Venetoclax Demonstrates Efficacy Against Mantle Cell Lymphoma In Vitro and In Vivo

Although oral targeted therapies have improved the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), outcomes remain poor. We recently showed that an oral form of Bendamustine works as well as the intravenous version. In this study, we tested its effect—alone or in combination with two other oral drugs, Venetoclax and Acalabrutinib—on two human MCL cell lines. We found that oral Bendamustine strongly reduced tumor growth and improved survival in mice with human MCL, performing better than the other single treatments. When combined with Venetoclax, with or without Acalabrutinib, its anti-tumor effect was even stronger in a cell line-dependent manner. These findings support further investigations of oral Bendamustine as a treatment option in MCL.

Comparable Efficacy of Oral Bendamustine versus Intravenous Administration in Treating Hematologic Malignancies

The purpose of this study was to analyze potential differences in antitumor efficacy and pharmacokinetics between intravenous (IV) bendamustine (BEN) and a novel orally administered bendamustine agent (PO) that is utilizing the beneficial properties of superstaturated solid dispersions formulated in nanoparticles.

Has the shortage of fludarabine altered the current paradigm of lymphodepletion in favor of bendamustine?

The most common lymphodepletion regimen used prior to infusion of chimeric antigen receptor-T cells (CAR-T) is cyclophosphamide (CY) in combination with fludarabine (Flu) (CY-FLU). While cyclophosphamide (CY) possesses lymphotoxic effects, it concurrently preserves regulatory T cell activity, potentially affecting the efficacy of CAR-T cells. Moreover, the use of fludarabine (FLU)…

Immunomodulatory Effects of Bendamustine in Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

Bendamustine (BEN) is a unique alkylating agent with efficacy against a broad range of hematological malignancies, although investigations have only recently started to delve into its immunomodulatory effects. These immunomodulatory properties of BEN in the context of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) are reviewed here. Pre- and post-transplant use of BEN in multiple murine models …
