ABSTRACT: Novel chemotherapeutic agents are developed to treat recurrent/relapsed lymphoid malignancies. Umbralisib, a novel phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor with a selective isoform binding, has shown an improved efficacy and safety profile in clinical trials. Immune-mediated colitis, a frequently observed dose-limiting adverse event of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitors, has been mostly observed at supratherapeutic doses in the trials, with grade 1 or 2 diarrhea being the most common adverse event at the therapeutic dose (800 mg PO QD). We present a grade-3 colitis that can be attributed to umbralisib-mediated immune toxicity in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia at the therapeutic dose.
