id="Belinostat.Introduction"><h3>Introduction</h3><p>Belinostat is an intravenously administered histone deacetylase inhibitor and antineoplastic agent that is approved for use in refractory or relapsed peripheral T cell lymphoma. Belinostat is associated with moderate rate of minor serum enzyme elevations during therapy and has been reported to cause clinically apparent fatal, acute liver injury.</p></div><div id="Belinostat.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Belinostat (be lin' oh stat) is a parenterally administered small molecule inhibitor of histone deacetylase which acts by preventing removal of acetyl groups from histones. Accumulation of acetyl groups on histones causes cell cycle arrest and apoptotic cell death. Malignant cells and particularly malignant T cells are particularly sensitive to the effects of inhibition of histone deacetylases. In open label studies in patients with refractory or relapsed peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL), monotherapy with belinostat yielded an overall response rate of 26% and some responders had long term remissions and were able to undergo hematopoietic cell transplantation. Belinostat was approved for use in the United States in 2014 as monotherapy for refractory or relapsing peripheral T cell lymphoma. Belinostat is available as a lyophilized powder for reconstitution in 500 mg single use vials under the commercial name Beleodaq. The recommended dose is 1 gm/m<sup>2</sup> given intravenously on days 1 to 5 in 21 day cycles, which are repeated until there is disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Side effects are common, but usually mild-to-moderate in severity, and include nausea, fatigue, fever, anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, constipation, rash, edema, cough and pruritus. Side effects lead to early discontinuation in up to 20% of patients. Severe adverse events can include marked neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, serious infections, sepsis, tumor lysis syndrome and acute liver failure.</p></div><div id="Belinostat.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>In clinical trials of belinostat in patients with PTCL, the rates of serum enzyme elevations during therapy were usually less than 5%, and were above 5 times the ULN in only 1% to 2% of patients. A single instance of severe acute liver injury leading to death from liver failure was reported in an open label trial of belinostat monotherapy in 120 patients with PTCL. The liver injury arose after 10 cycles of treatment and progressed despite drug discontinuation. Specific details were not provided. In another clinical trial, two cases of cholestatic liver injury were reported but without specific details. Thus, belinostat is considered to be a rare cause of acute liver injury but the timing of onset, associated features, clinical course and outcome have not been well defined.</p><p>Likelihood score: D (possible cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="Belinostat.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>The reason why belinostat causes serum enzyme elevations is not known, but may be a direct toxicity to hepatocytes caused by inhibition of histone deacetylase or other enzyme activities. Belinostat is metabolized in the liver by UGT1A1 and the cytochrome P450 isozymes CYP 2A6, 2C9 and 3A4, so that it may cause drug-drug interactions, and hepatotoxicity could be the result of production of a toxic or immunogenic intermediate. Finally, belinostat is a sulfonamide hydroxyamide and severe acute liver injury from belinostat might be the result of a sulfonamide-like hepatic reaction.</p></div><div id="Belinostat.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>Serum enzyme elevations are uncommon during belinostat therapy and are rarely dose limiting. Belinostat should not be used with other agents with hepatotoxic potential. Furthermore, regular monitoring of liver tests with each course of therapy is recommended, with more frequent monitoring if serum aminotransferase values rise. Belinostat should be held if ALT or AST values rise above 5 times the ULN. Elevations of more than 20 times the ULN or appearance of jaundice or symptoms of liver injury should trigger permanent discontinuation. There is no known cross sensitivity to hepatic injury among the different histone deacetylase inhibitors. Because belinostat is a sulfonamide derivative, it should be used with caution in patients with a history of sulfa allergy.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/AntineoplasticAgents/?report=reader">Antineoplastic Agents</a>, Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors</p></div></div><div id="Belinostat.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Belinostat_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><p>
