Idelalisib (Zydelig)
On 3/21/2016 Gilead announced that they were stopping seven clinical trials in patients with CLL, SLL, and iNHL due to excess deaths and increased rates of SAEs. A REMS program has also been announced.
General information
Class/mechanism: Isoform-selective PI3K (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase) inhibitor. Idelalisib inhibits class I isoform p110 delta (p110δ), which is one of the mediators of activation of the PI3K pathway and is expressed at high levels by hematopoietic cells, particularly leukocytes. Inhibition of the PI3Kδ kinase pathway affects B-cell receptor (BCR), CXCR4, and CXCR5 signaling, disrupting trafficking and homing of B-cells to the lymph nodes and bone marrow. Lymphoma cells treated with idelalisib have been observed to have impaired chemotaxis, adhesion properties, and cell viability.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Route: PO
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, UpToDate (courtesy of Lexicomp), or the prescribing information.[1]
Diseases for which it is used
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL/SLL)
- Follicular lymphoma
- Marginal zone lymphoma
- Waldenström macroglobulinemia
Patient drug information
- Patient counseling information may be found in the Idelalisib (Zydelig) package insert[1]
Suggestions for SAE monitoring/prevention
- Administer PCP/PJP prophylaxis throughout treatment
- Monitor for CMV infection (positive PCR or antigen test) and discontinue treatment if any evidence of infection
- Monitor blood counts at least every 2 weeks for the first 6 months of treatment
- Increase monitoring to at least weekly if ANC < 1000/mm3
History of changes in FDA indication
- 7/23/2014: FDA approved "for the treatment of patients with:
- Relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), in combination with rituximab, in patients for whom rituximab alone would be considered appropriate therapy due to other co-morbidities.
- Relapsed follicular B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (FL) in patients who have received at least two prior systemic therapies.
- Relapsed small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) in patients who have received at least two prior systemic therapies."
