The National Comprehensive Cancer Network added Lymphir (denileukin diftitox-cxdl), a novel immunotherapy for the treatment of relapsed or refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphoma after at least one prior systemic therapy, to the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology. Lymphir is included based on an NCCN Category 2A recommendation which indicates a uniform NCCN consensus that the drug is appropriate as an option for patients with CTCL.
The European Medicines Agency approved Calquence (acalabrutinib) in combination with bendamustine and rituximab for the treatment of adult patients with previously untreated mantle cell lymphoma who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant.
