... In conclusion, trabectedin showed in vitro anti‐tumour activity in DLBCL and its mechanism of action included transcriptional inhibition of genes important for DLBCL proliferation and survival, possibly by reducing the binding of FLI1 to DNA. These data suggest that the use of trabectedin and its novel derivatives as anti‐lymphoma agents is worthy of further investigation.
