Belinostat: Drug information
(For additional information see "Belinostat: Patient drug information")

For abbreviations, symbols, and age group definitions used in Lexicomp (show table)
Brand Names: US
  • Beleodaq
Pharmacologic Category
  • Antineoplastic Agent, Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) Inhibitor
Dosing: Adult

Note: ANC should be ≥1,000/mm3 and platelets should be ≥50,000/mm3 prior to each cycle. Do not administer in patients with an active infection.

Peripheral T-cell lymphoma, relapsed/refractory

Peripheral T-cell lymphoma, relapsed/refractory: IV: 1,000 mg/m2 daily on days 1 to 5 every 21 days until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity (O'Connor 2015).

Dosage adjustment for patients with reduced UGT1A1 activity: Reduce initial dose to 750 mg/m2 for patients known to be homozygous for UGT1A1*28 allele.

Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.

Dosing: Kidney Impairment: Adult

CrCl >39 mL/minute: There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling; however, exposure is not altered in patients with CrCl >39 mL/minute. No dosage adjustment necessary (Krens 2019).

CrCl ≤39 mL/minute: There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling (data is insufficient to recommend a dose). No need for dosage adjustment is expected (Krens 2019).

Hemodialysis: No need for dosage adjustment is expected (Krens 2019).

Dosing: Hepatic Impairment: Adult

Mild hepatic impairment: There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling (exposure is expected to be increased in hepatic impairment). No dosage adjustment necessary (Krens 2019).

Moderate to severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >1.5 times ULN): There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling (data is insufficient to recommend a dose). Use is not recommended (Krens 2019).

Dosing: Obesity: Adult

American Society of Clinical Oncology guidelines for appropriate systemic therapy dosing in adults with cancer with a BMI ≥30 kg/m2 : Utilize patient's actual body weight (full weight) for calculation of BSA- or weight-based dosing; manage regimen-related toxicities in the same manner as for patients with a BMI <30 kg/m2; if a dose reduction is utilized due to toxicity, may consider resumption of full weight-based dosing (or previously tolerated dose level) with subsequent cycles only if dose escalations are allowed in the prescribing information, if contributing underlying factors (eg, hepatic or kidney impairment) are sufficiently resolved, AND if performance status has markedly improved or is considered adequate (ASCO [Griggs 2021]).

Dosing: Adjustment for Toxicity: Adult

Hematologic toxicity: ANC should be ≥1000/mm3 and platelets should be ≥50,000/mm3 prior to each cycle and prior to resuming treatment following a delay due to toxicity. Resume subsequent treatment according to the following parameters:

Platelets ≥25,000/mm3 and nadir ANC ≥500/mm3: No dosage adjustment necessary (continue treatment without modification).

Nadir ANC <500/mm3 and any platelet count: Reduce belinostat dose by 25% (to 750 mg/m2).

Platelets <25,000/mm3 and any nadir ANC: Reduce belinostat dose by 25% (to 750 mg/m2).

Recurrent nadir ANC <500/mm3 and/or recurrent nadir platelets <25,000/mm3 following 2 dosage reductions: Discontinue belinostat.

Nonhematologic toxicity: Nonhematologic toxicities should be grade 2 or lower prior to retreatment. Resume subsequent treatment according to the following parameters:

Any grade 3 or 4 toxicity (except nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea): Reduce belinostat dose by 25% (to 750 mg/m2).

Recurrent grade 3 or 4 toxicity following 2 dosage reductions: Discontinue belinostat.

Grade 3 or 4 nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea: Manage with supportive care (may require antiemetics and antidiarrheal medications); reduce the dose only if duration is >7 days with supportive management. In a phase 1 study, nausea/vomiting generally occurred at the end of the infusion each day (rarely persisting beyond day 5 each cycle) and was managed with standard antiemetics (Steele 2011).

Tumor lysis syndrome: Initiate management as clinically appropriate.

Dosing: Older Adult

Warnings/Precautions

Concerns related to adverse effects:

• Bone marrow suppression: May cause thrombocytopenia, leukopenia (neutropenia and lymphopenia), and/or anemia.

• Gastrointestinal toxicity: Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea occur with belinostat.

• Hepatotoxicity: May cause LFT abnormalities and fatal hepatotoxicity. Patients with moderate to severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >1.5 times ULN) were excluded from clinical studies.

• Infection: Serious infections (occasionally fatal), including pneumonia and sepsis, have occurred with treatment. Heavily pretreated patients (history of extensive or intensive prior chemotherapy) may be at higher risk for life-threatening infections.

• Tumor lysis syndrome: Tumor lysis syndrome has been observed.

Special populations:

• Reduced UGT1A1 activity: Belinostat is primarily metabolized by UGT1A1; the initial dose should be reduced in patients known to be homozygous for UGT1A1*28 allele.

Reproductive Considerations

Evaluate pregnancy status prior to use in patients who could become pregnant. Patients who could become pregnant should use effective contraception during therapy and for 6 months after the last belinostat dose. Patients with partners who could become pregnant should use effective contraception during therapy and for 3 months after the last dose of belinostat.

Pregnancy Considerations

Based on the mechanism of action and findings of genotoxicity, in utero exposure to belinostat may cause fetal harm.

Breastfeeding Considerations

It is not known if belinostat is present in breast milk.

Due to the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed infant, breastfeeding is not recommended by the manufacturer and for 2 weeks after the last belinostat dose.

Monitoring Parameters

Monitor CBC with platelets and differential at baseline and weekly during treatment; serum chemistries (including renal and hepatic functions tests) at baseline and before each cycle. Evaluate pregnancy status prior to use in patients who could become pregnant. Monitor for signs/symptoms of GI toxicity (eg, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), tumor lysis syndrome (closely monitor patients with advanced disease and/or high tumor burden), and infection.

The American Society of Clinical Oncology hepatitis B virus (HBV) screening and management provisional clinical opinion (ASCO [Hwang 2020]) recommends HBV screening with hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B core antibody, total Ig or IgG, and antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen prior to beginning (or at the beginning of) systemic anticancer therapy; do not delay treatment for screening/results. Detection of chronic or past HBV infection requires a risk assessment to determine antiviral prophylaxis requirements, monitoring, and follow-up.

Mechanism of Action

Belinostat is a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor which catalyzes acetyl group removal from protein lysine residues (of histone and some nonhistone proteins). Inhibition of histone deacetylase results in accumulation of acetyl groups, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Belinostat has preferential cytotoxicity toward tumor cells versus normal cells.
