Phase 1 study of belinostat (PXD-101) and bortezomib (Velcade, PS-341) in patients with relapsed or refractory acute leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome.

ABSTRACT: We report the results of a phase 1 dose-escalation study of belinostat and bortezomib in adult patients with acute leukemia or MDS or CML with blast crisis. Thirty-eight patients received IV belinostat days 1-5 and 8-12 with IV bortezomib days 1, 4, 8, and 11 every 21 days. QTc prolongation was the only identified DLT. The RP2Ds were 1.3 mg/m² bortezomib and 1000 mg/m² belinostat. One patient with highly refractory MLL-ENL rearranged biphenotypic AML with multiple karyotypic aberrations had a complete pathologic and karyotypic response. One patient with post-MPN AML remained on study with stable disease (SD) for 32 cycles. Whole-exome sequencing revealed no aberrations in the first patient and a hyper-mutator genotype in the second. Eighteen patients had a best
