T‐cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T‐ALL) and T‐cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T‐LBL) are neoplasms that originate from T‐cell precursors. Outcomes in adult patients with T‐ALL/LBL remain unsatisfactory; early relapse following intensive induction chemotherapy is a concern, and patients with relapsed or refractory disease have a poor prognosis. Romidepsin is a potent, class 1 selective histone deacetylase inhibitor approved for the treatment of patients with peripheral T‐cell lymphoma who have had ≥1 prior therapy and patients with cutaneous T‐cell lymphoma who have had ≥1 prior systemic therapy. Here, we report the case of an adult patient with T‐ALL refractory to induction hyperfractionated cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone (hyper‐CVAD). Treatment with romidepsin was initiated, and romidepsin in combination with hyper‐CVAD resulted in complete remission, with mild tumor lysis syndrome as the only detectable additional toxicity. The patient eventually underwent allogeneic stem cell transplant while in first complete remission. Prior studies have shown that romidepsin is capable of inducing durable responses with manageable toxicities in patients with mature T‐cell lymphomas. This case study describes the successful use of romidepsin in combination with hyper‐CVAD in an adult patient with refractory T‐ALL and highlights the activity of romidepsin in the T‐cell lineage. The potential of romidepsin‐containing regimens in patients with T‐ALL/LBL deserves further study.
