Overview

Generic Name(s):
belinostat
Trade Name(s):
Beleodaq
NCI Definition [1]:
A novel hydroxamic acid-type histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor with antineoplastic activity. Belinostat targets HDAC enzymes, thereby inhibiting tumor cell proliferation, inducing apoptosis, promoting cellular differentiation, and inhibiting angiogenesis. This agent may sensitize drug-resistant tumor cells to other antineoplastic agents, possibly through a mechanism involving the down-regulation of thymidylate synthase.

Belinostat has been investigated in 7 clinical trials, of which 6 are open and 1 is closed. Of the trials investigating belinostat, 5 are phase 1 (4 open) and 2 are phase 2 (2 open).

Complex karyotype, HER2 Deficient Expression, and HER2 Negative are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for belinostat clinical trials.

Breast carcinoma, myelodysplastic syndromes, and acute myeloid leukemia are the most common diseases being investigated in belinostat clinical trials [2].
