New combo shows promise for rare blood cancer
NCT ID NCT03598998
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage study tested a combination of two drugs (pembrolizumab and pralatrexate) in 13 people with peripheral T-cell lymphoma that had returned or not responded to prior treatment. The goal was to find the safest dose and see if the combo could shrink tumors. The approach uses one drug to block cancer cell growth and another to help the immune system attack the cancer.
