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.
本发明涉及治疗癌症的方法,例如间皮瘤或淋巴瘤。更具体地说,本发明涉及治疗间皮瘤或弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)的方法,方法是服用包含HDAC抑制剂的药物组合物,例如亚伯酰苯胺羟肟酸(SAHA)。药物组合物的口服制剂具有良好的药代动力学特征,如生物利用度高,并能在较长时间内令人惊讶地产生较高的活性化合物血药浓度。本发明进一步提供了这些药物组合物安全的每日给药方案,该方案易于遵循,并能在体内产生治疗有效量的 HDAC 抑制剂。
