Duvelisib (INN,[1] previously known as IPI-145) is an inhibitor of PI3Kδ and PI3Kγ,[2] researched as a treatment for hematologic malignancies as well as a broad range of inflammatory conditions.[3]

Approvals and indications

As of April 2016 duvelisib has no approvals for marketing for clinical use.

Mechanism of action

By inhibiting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway cancer cell growth/proliferation (dependant on this pathway) may be reduced.

Clinical trials

It has started two phase I clinical trials in hematologic cancers.[3] In July 2012 the phase I trial was expanded and two phase II trials were planned.[4][5]

Phase I results in patients with relapsed/refractory hematologic malignancies who had been previously treated with ibrutinib showed "clinical activity and a tolerable safety profile".[6]

A phase II trial for refractory indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma is registered.[7]

A phase IIA study in asthma has reported preliminary results indicating improvement in lung function.[8] The ASPIRA trial, a Phase 2 study of duvelisib with methotrexate in patients with moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis, was expected to report by end 2014.[8]

As of December 2015 there are four active phase III trials[9] including:
