Pralatrexate is indicated for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). This indication is based on overall response rate. Clinical benefit such as improvement in progression free survival or overall survival has not been demonstrated. /Included in US product label/

T-cell lymphomas (TCL) are characterized by poor response to chemotherapy and generally poor outcome. While molecular profiling has identified distinct biological subsets and therapeutic targets in B-cell lymphomas, the molecular characterization of TCL has been slower. Surface markers expressed on malignant T-cells, such as CD2, CD3, CD4, CD25, and CD52 were the first TCL-specific therapeutic targets to be discovered. However, the presence of these receptors on normal T-cells means that monoclonal antibody (mAb)- or immunotoxin (IT)-based therapy in TCL inevitably results in variable degrees of immunosuppression. Thus, although some mAbs/IT have significant activity in selected subsets of TCL, more specific agents that target signaling pathways preferentially activated in malignant T-cells are needed. One such novel class of agents is represented by the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. These molecules selectively induce apoptosis in a variety of transformed cells, including malignant T-cells, both in vitro and in vivo. Several HDAC inhibitors have been studied in TCL with promising results, and have recently been approved for clinical use. Immunomodulatory drugs, such as interferons and Toll Receptor (TLR) agonists have significant clinical activity in TCL, and are particularly important in the treatment of primary cutaneous subtypes (CTCL). Although most classical cytotoxic drugs have limited efficacy against TCL, agents that inhibit purine and pyrimidine metabolism, known as nucleoside analogues, and novel antifolate drugs, such as pralatrexate, are highly active in TCL. With improved molecular profiling of TCL novel pharmacological agents with activity in TCL are now being discovered at an increasingly rapid pace. Clinical trials are in progress and these agents are being integrated in combination therapies for TCL, both in the relapsed/refractory setting as well as front line.

Treatment with FOLOTYN may cause mucositis. If /greater than or equal to/ Grade 2 mucositis is observed, dose should be modified.

Patients should be instructed to take folic acid and receive vitamin B12 to potentially reduce treatment-related hematological toxicity and mucositis. ... Patients should take low-dose oral folic acid on a daily basis. Folic acid should be initiated during the 10-day period preceding the first dose of FOLOTYN, and dosing should continue during the full course of therapy and for 30 days after the last dose of FOLOTYN. Patients should also receive a vitamin B12 intramuscular injection no more than 10 weeks prior to the first dose of FOLOTYN and every 8-10 weeks thereafter. Subsequent vitamin B12 injections may be given the same day as treatment with FOLOTYN.

Treatment of relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma.
FDA Label
treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma,
Pralatrexate is a 10-deazaaminopterin analogue of methotrexate. Compared to methotrexate, pralatrexate binds to RTC-1 with 10-times the affinity and is a more potent substrate for FPGS. As a result, pralatrexate is better internalized and retained in cancer cells and is more cytotoxic. Km, pralatrexate = 0.3 mol/L; Km, methotrexate = 4.8 mol/L; Vmax/Km (rate of intracellular transport), pralatrexate = 12.6 Vmax/Km (rate of intracellular transport), methotrexate = 0.9

The pharmacokinetics of pralatrexate administered as a single agent at a dose of 30 mg/sq m administered as an intravenous push over 3-5 minutes once weekly for 6 weeks in 7-week cycles have been evaluated in 10 patients with PTCL. The total systemic clearance of pralatrexate diastereomers was 417 mL/min (S-diastereomer) and 191 mL/min (R-diastereomer).

Pralatrexate total systemic exposure (AUC) and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) increased proportionally with dose (dose range 30-325 mg/sq m, including pharmacokinetics data from high dose solid tumor clinical studies). The pharmacokinetics of pralatrexate did not change significantly over multiple treatment cycles, and no accumulation of pralatrexate was observed.

The selectivity of pralatrexate for cancer cells is based upon the observation that cancer cells generally have an overexpression of reduced folate carrier protein-1 (RTC-1) compared to normal somatic cells. This carrier protein allows the entrance of pralatrexate into the cell. Upon entering the cell, folypolyglutamate synthase FPGS catalyzes the polyglutamination of pralatrexate so that it is retained inside the cell. Once inside, pralatrexate competitively inhibits dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and thymidylate synthase. Subsequent depletion of thymidine monophosphate (TMP) occurs so that the cancer cell is unable to synthesize DNA and RNA. As a result, the cancer cell cannot proliferate and is forced to undergo apoptosis. Pralatrexate is more effective against cells that are actively dividing.
Pralatrexate is a folate analogue metabolic inhibitor that competitively inhibits dihydrofolate reductase. It is also a competitive inhibitor for polyglutamylation by the enzyme folylpolyglutamyl synthetase. This inhibition results in the depletion of thymidine and other biological molecules the synthesis of which depends on single carbon transfer.

This study evaluated mechanistic differences of pralatrexate, methotrexate, and pemetrexed. Inhibition of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) was quantified using recombinant human DHFR. Cellular uptake and folylpolyglutamate synthetase (FPGS) activity were determined using radiolabeled pralatrexate, methotrexate, and pemetrexed in NCI-H460 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. The tumor growth inhibition (TGI) was assessed using MV522 and NCI-H460 human NSCLC xenografts. Apparent K ( i ) values for DHFR inhibition were 45, 26, and >200 nM for pralatrexate, methotrexate, and pemetrexed, respectively. A significantly greater percentage of radiolabeled pralatrexate entered the cells and was polyglutamylatated relative to methotrexate or pemetrexed. In vivo, pralatrexate showed superior anti-tumor activity in both NSCLC models, with more effective dose-dependent TGI in the more rapidly growing NCI-H460 xenografts. Pralatrexate demonstrated a distinct mechanistic and anti-tumor activity profile relative to methotrexate and pemetrexed. Pralatrexate exhibited enhanced cellular uptake and increased polyglutamylation, which correlated with increased TGI in NSCLC xenograft models.
