New drug cocktail aims to stop rare blood cancer after transplant
NCT ID NCT07389616
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether combining two drugs, cidabenamine and azacitidine, can stop high-risk peripheral T-cell lymphoma from progressing after a stem cell transplant. About 40 adults aged 18 to 70 will receive the drug combo as maintenance therapy. The goal is to see if it improves survival and keeps the cancer from coming back.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- cidabenamine and azacitidine
- What this could lead to
- If this works, it could offer a way to keep high-risk peripheral T-cell lymphoma from coming back after a stem cell transplant, potentially improving survival.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 40 participants and no comparison group, so results may not be conclusive. The drugs may cause side effects or fail to prevent relapse.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Aged 18 to 70 years, male or female. 2. Diagnosis of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) according to the 2022 WHO criteria, including pathological subtypes such as PTCL not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), but excluding hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma; and meeting at least one of the following high-risk criteria: ① Stable Disease (SD) at the time of transplantation; ② Relapse after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (any disease status); ③ ≥ Partial Response 1 (PR1). 3. Underwent allogeneic peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for PTCL, with no restriction on donor type. 4. Presence of complete donor chimerism in the bone marrow (T-cell chimerism \>95%). 5. ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. 6. Hematological function meeting the following requirements: ① Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.0 × 10⁹/L; ② Platelet count (PLT) ≥ 50 × 10⁹/L. 7. Patients must have the ability to understand and be willing to participate in the study and must provide signed informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Known hypersensitivity to hypomethylating agents or Cidabenamine. 2. Presence of grade II or higher active acute Graft-versus-Host Disease (GVHD). 3. Presence of moderate or more severe chronic GVHD. 4. Any unstable systemic disease, including but not limited to: unstable angina, cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack (within 3 months prior to screening), myocardial infarction (within 3 months prior to screening), congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association \[NYHA\] Class ≥ III), status post pacemaker implantation, severe arrhythmia requiring pharmacological treatment, hepatic, renal, or metabolic disease, or pulmonary hypertension. 5. Active, uncontrolled infection, evidenced by any of the following: infection-related hemodynamic instability, worsening or new-onset infectious symptoms/signs, radiologic evidence of a new infectious focus, or persistent fever without localizing symptoms/signs where infection cannot be ruled out. 6. Known HIV infection. 7. Active Hepatitis B (HBV) or active Hepatitis C (HCV) requiring antiviral therapy. 8. History of an autoimmune disease. 9. Pregnant or lactating women. 10. Concurrent participation in another interventional clinical trial and receiving other investigational drugs.
