Use of 5-Fluoro-4-(4-fluoro-2-methoxyphenyl)-N-{4-[(S-methylsulfonimidoyl)methyl]pyridin-2-yl}pyridin-2-amine for treating diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
The present invention relates to the use of 5-Fluoro-4-(4-fluoro-2-methoxyphenyl)-N-{4-[(S- methylsulfonimidoyl)methyl]pyridin-2-yl}pyridin-2-amine (compound A), more particularly (+)5- Fluoro-4-(4-fluoro-2-methoxyphenyl)-N-{4-[(S-methylsulfonimidoyl)methyl]pyridin-2-yl}pyridin-2- amine (compound A´), for treating diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), especially in germinal- centre B-cell type of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and especially in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma which cells have an amplification or translocation of the MYC gene and/or BCL2 gene and/or an overexpression of MYC and/or BCL2.
