Valemetostat is a selective dual inhibitor of EZH1 and EZH2, which are important histone methyltransferases involved with chromatin folding.[13] A multicenter phase II study (NCT04102150) enrolled 25 patients with relapsed or refractory ATL, 24 of whom had prior therapy with mogamulizumab.[14] With a median follow-up of 6.5 months, the overall response rate was 48% (90% CI, 30.5%–65.9%). There were five complete remissions and seven partial remissions among the heavily pretreated patients.[14][Level of evidence C3] Responses were seen in patients with the acute, lymphoma, and chronic versions of ATL. Although approved for use in Japan, valemetostat is not approved by the FDA for use in the United States.
