Emerging drugs for rarer chronic lymphoid leukemias.

BACKGROUND: Rarer indolent lymphoid leukemias include well defined mature B-cell and T-cell neoplasm with widely varying natural history and specific morphological, immunophenotypic and molecular characteristics. Among these are prolymphocytic leukemia (PLL), hairy cell leukemia (HCL) and its variants, large granular lymphocyte leukemia (LGLL) and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL). OBJECTIVE: To present current therapies and emerging drugs potentially useful in the treatment of rarer chronic lymphoid leukemias. METHODS: After searching MEDLINE, PubMed and the Current Contents database, and conference proceedings from the previous 3 years of the American Society of Hematology (ASH), the European Society of Hematology (EHA) and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) were searched manually; articles written in English and additional relevant publications were then selected. RESULTS/CONCLUSION: New drugs including monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), new purine analogs, small molecules targeting specific molecular targets and other agents are included. Future research should focus on the novel therapeutic strategies based on the molecular pathogenic mechanisms and the development of new targeted therapies for each distinct chronic lymphoid leukemia.[1]
