General information

Class/mechanism: Retinoid, selectively binds and activates retinoid X receptor subtypes (RXRα, RXRβ, RXRγ), which allow them to function as transcription factors that regulate the expression of genes that control cellular differentiation and proliferation. Bexarotene inhibits the growth in vitro of some tumor cell lines of hematopoietic and squamous cell origin. Exact mechanism of action in the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is unknown.[1][2][3][4][5]
Route: PO, topical
Extravasation: n/a

For conciseness and simplicity, HemOnc.org currently will focus on treatment regimens and not list information such as: renal/hepatic dose adjustments, metabolism (including CYP450), excretion, monitoring parameters (although this will be considered for checklists), or manufacturer. Instead, for the most current information, please refer to your preferred pharmacopeias such as Micromedex, Lexicomp, Medscape,UpToDate (courtesy of Lexicomp), or the prescribing information.[1][3]
