First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tests a new chemotherapy combination called CAOP for elderly patients (65+) with a rare type of lymphoma called peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). The goal is to see if replacing a standard drug with a less heart-toxic one can still effectively control the cancer while reducing side effects. About 36 participants will receive up to 6 cycles of treatment, and researchers will track how many achieve complete remission.
