Can a Triple-Drug combo tame an aggressive lymphoma without harsh chemo?

NCT ID NCT04004572

First seen Aug 03, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing whether a combination of three drugs—sintilimab, pegaspargase, and anlotinib—can effectively treat stage IV extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma in patients who are not healthy enough for high-intensity chemotherapy. The study enrolls adults with newly diagnosed or relapsed disease and evaluates how many achieve a complete response after 24 weeks of treatment. The goal is to find a safer, yet effective, alternative for this challenging condition.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A combination of three drugs: sintilimab (an immunotherapy), pegaspargase (a chemotherapy agent), and anlotinib (a targeted therapy)
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a gentler, effective treatment option for people with advanced NK/T-cell lymphoma who cannot tolerate standard high-intensity chemotherapy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial, so results may not hold up in larger studies. The drug combination may cause side effects, and not all patients may respond.
