Abstract
Peripheral T-cell lymphomas are aggressive lymphomas with poor outcomes for which novel treatments are urgently needed. Alisertib (MLN8237) is a second-generation oral Aurora A kinase inhibitor. Treatment with alisertib results in an accumulation of cells with abnormal mitotic spindles, leading to decreased proliferation and apoptosis in a range of human tumor cell lines. Alisertib has shown single-agent antitumor activity in animal xenograft models and promising antitumor activity alone or in combination with other agents in patients with solid and hematologic cancers, and T-cell lymphomas in particular. It is currently being tested in randomized controlled Phase III trials in relapsed/refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma.
