First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 34 times

Summary

This study tests whether the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab can shrink early-stage NK/T-cell lymphoma in 19 adults who have not yet had chemotherapy. The goal is to see how many patients have their tumors completely disappear. This is a phase 2 pilot study, so results will guide future research rather than offer a proven cure.
