On 1 February 2019, Owen O’Connor from Columbia University Medical Centre, New York, NY, USA and colleagues, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology a phase III study (LUMIERE) investigating the efficacy of alisertib in relapsed or refractory (R/R) peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) patients.
Alisertib is an investigational Aurora A kinase inhibitor. Aurora A kinase is involved in cell mitosis and accumulating evidence indicates its pathological upregulation in PTCL. From phase I-II studies the recommended dose and treatment pattern of alisertib monotherapy have been established, together with its promising activity in various lymphomas, including R/R B-cell and T-cell lymphomas. The aim of this randomized, multicenter, two-arm, open-label, phase III trial (NCT01482962) was to investigate the efficacy of alisertib monotherapy versus investigator’s choice treatment in R/R PTCL patients. The primary endpoints of this study were overall response rate (ORR), and progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints included, overall survival (OS), safety, complete response (CR) rate, time-to-progression (TTP), time-to-partial response (TTR), and duration of response (DoR).
