  • Duvelisib inhibits both delta and gamma isoform.
  • The hope is that the molecule targets both the tumor cell as well as the microenvironment.
  • The toxicity profile of duvelisib is still being studied.
  • To date, the molecule appears to have a similar toxicity profile of other PI3K inhibitors.
