Romidepsin, sold under the brand name Istodax, is a medication used to treat cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) and peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs).[2] It is used after other treatments have failed.[2] It is given by gradual injection into a vein.[3]
Common side effects include low white blood cells, low platelets, nausea, tiredness, and infection.[2] Other side effects may include tumor lysis syndrome and QT prolongation.[3][2] Use during pregnancy may harm the baby.[2] It works by blocking an enzyme known as histone deacetylases, bringing about programmed cell death.[1]
Romidepsin was approved for medical use in the United States in 2009.[3] It was refused approval in Europe in 2012.[4] It is obtained from the bacterium Chromobacterium violaceum.[3] In the United States it costs about 3,350 USD per 10 mg dose.[5] A generic version was approved in 2021 in the USA.[6]
