OBJECTIVE To review new agents under investigation for the treatment of patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma. RESULTS New agents being evaluated in these patients include histone deacetylase inhibitors (e.g. romidepsin, vorinostat, and balinostat), purine analogs and agents that interfere with the purine metabolic pathway (e.g. forodesine), immunomodulatory agents, proapoptotic small molecules (e.g. oblimersen, obatoclax, and gossypol), antifols (e.g. pralatrexate), proteasome inhibitors (e.g. bortezomib), monoclonal antibodies against T-cell antigens (e.g. CD30 and CD52), and immunotoxins (e.g. denileukin diftitox). CONCLUSIONS The development of rational combinations of such agents in clinical trials will be required to improve the outcome of these patients.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009588	Nitrogen Mustard Compounds	A group of alkylating agents derived from mustard gas, with the sulfur replaced by nitrogen. They were formerly used as toxicants and vesicants, but now function as antineoplastic agents. These compounds are also powerful mutagens, teratogens, immunosuppressants, and carcinogens.

D014740	Vidarabine	A nucleoside antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces antibioticus. It has some antineoplastic properties and has broad spectrum activity against DNA viruses in cell cultures and significant antiviral activity against infections caused by a variety of viruses such as the herpes viruses, the VACCINIA VIRUS and varicella zoster virus.

D016411	Lymphoma, T-Cell, Peripheral	A group of malignant lymphomas thought to derive from peripheral T-lymphocytes in lymph nodes and other nonlymphoid sites. They include a broad spectrum of lymphocyte morphology, but in all instances express T-cell markers admixed with epithelioid histiocytes, plasma cells, and eosinophils. Although markedly similar to large-cell immunoblastic lymphoma (LYMPHOMA, LARGE-CELL, IMMUNOBLASTIC), this group's unique features warrant separate treatment.
