The present invention provides, inter alia, methods for treating, preventing, or ameliorating the effects of a lymphoid malignancy, such as those associated with a mutated phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) gene, or T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). These methods include administering to a subject an effective amount of a phosphoinositide 3-kinase-delta (PI3Kδ) inhibitor and a phosphoinositide 3-kinase-gamma (PI3Kγ) inhibitor. The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions for treating the effects of a lymphoid malignancy. This invention further provides a method for identifying a subject who may benefit from co-treatment with a PI3Kδ inhibitor and a PI3Kγ inhibitor. This method includes determining from a sample of the subject whether the subject has a mutated PTEN gene. Additionally, this invention provides methods for identifying a compound that has both PI3Kδ and PI3Kγ inhibitory activity.

A method for treating or ameliorating the effects of a lymphoid malignancy in a subject comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a compound that selectively inhibits both phosphoinositide 3-kinase-delta (PI3Kδ) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase-gamma (PI3Kγ) and wherein the lymphoid malignancy is T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) or T-cell acute lymphoblastic lymphoma.
A method for treating or ameliorating the effects of a lymphoid malignancy associated with a mutated phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) gene in a subject comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound that selectively inhibits both phosphoinositide 3-kinase-delta (PI3Kδ) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase-gamma (PI3Kγ).
A method for treating or ameliorating the effects of a lymphoid malignancy in a subject comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a co-treatment effective amount of a combination of an inhibitor of phosphoinositide 3-kinase-delta (PI3Kδ) and an inhibitor of phosphoinositide 3-kinase-gamma (PI3Kγ), said treatment comprising co-administration of each inhibitor or administrating each inhibitor sequentially being sufficiently spaced apart to achieve a clinically effective result, wherein the lymphoid malignancy is T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) or T-cell acute lymphoblastic lymphoma.
