Beleodaq (belinostat) is a cancer medication that interferes with the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body.

Beleodaq is used to treat peripheral T-cell lymphoma that has relapsed or has not responded to other treatments.

Beleodaq was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on an "accelerated" basis. In clinical studies, non-small cell lung tumors responded to this medicine. However, it has not been shown that belinostat can improve symptoms or lengthen survival time.

• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names: Dycill, Dynapen

Treatment of infections caused by, or suspected of being caused by, susceptible penicillinase-resistant staphylococci.

Should not be used for initial treatment of severe, life-threatening infections, including endocarditis, but may be used as follow-up after a parenteral penicillinase-resistant penicillin (nafcillin, oxacillin).

If used empirically, consider whether staphylococci resistant to penicillinase-resistant penicillins (oxacillin-resistant [methicillin-resistant] staphylococci) are prevalent in the hospital or community. (See Staphylococci Resistant to Penicillinase-resistant Penicillins under Cautions.)
