METHOD OF TREATING CANCER WITH HDAC INHIBITORS

摘要

The present invention relates to methods of treating cancers, e.g., mesothelioma or lymphoma. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods of treating mesothelioma or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), by administration of pharmaceutical compositions comprising HDAC inhibitors, e.g., suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA). The oral formulations of the pharmaceutical compositions have favorable pharmacokinetic profiles such as high bioavailability and surprisingly give rise to high blood levels of the active compounds over an extended period of time. The present invention further provides a safe, daily dosing regimen of these pharmaceutical compositions, which is easy to follow, and which results in a therapeutically effective amount of the HDAC inhibitors in vivo.
