Long-term successful use of belinostat in a patient with relapsed-refractory angioimmunoblastic lymphoma who has previously been heavily treated.

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is one of the sub-types of peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) that are remarkably refractory and has the potential to have a poor prognosis. The treatment process includes a wide range of treatment modalities, from anthracycline-based regimens that have been used for years to novel agents, such as histone deacetylase inhibitor romidepsin and belinostat. Increased treatment response rates and prolonged survival have been reported in studies with belinostat. Similarly, in this case report, we wanted to share a patient of an advanced age and with a high IPI score, whom we had treated in many treatment lines and maintained a long-term treatment response by administering belinostat.
