CLADRIBINE I.V. AND S.C. IN HCL
• Intravenous Cladribine-iv2CdA
– 0.7 mg/kg single cycle
• Continuous 0.1 mg/kg daily over 7
days
• 2-hour 0.1 mg/kg daily over 7 days
• Subcutaneous Cladribine -sc2CdA
– 0.7 mg/kg single cycle
– 100% bioavailability

INFECTIONS WITH CLADRIBINE
Intravenous Cladribine (iv2CdA)
sc2CdA reduction in NHL
– 0.7 mg/kg single cycle
– 42% febrile episodes
0.5 mg/kg/cycle
0.7 mg/kg/cycle

Subcutaneous Cladribine (sc2CdA)
In indolent non-Hodgkin lymphomas other
than HCL:
– at the dose of 0.7 mg/kg/cycle, efficacy of
sc2CdA is similar to iv2CdA
– reduction to 0.5 mg/kg/cycle determines
equivalent efficacy and lower toxicity

Conclusions
• Cladribine at reduced doses has lower toxicity and
similar efficacy
• BRAF mutational status: critical to identify patients non
benefiting from Cladribine?
• New effective treatments (if/when required):
• HCL express high levels of multiple Ig isotypes that are functional
• Surface Ig and signaling is irrespective of BRAF V600E
• BCR-inhibitors act on the tumor component that signals through BCR
• BCR-inhibitors as an alternative strategy?
• Markers to identify poor outcome in BRAF+ HCL
