Personalized lymphoma therapy: could lower radiation be enough?

NCT ID NCT07768943

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial is testing a personalized approach for people with early-stage extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, a rare cancer of the immune system. All participants receive two cycles of induction chemotherapy (GELAD), then doctors check how well the tumor responded using a PET/CT scan and a blood test for Epstein-Barr virus DNA. Based on that early response, patients are assigned to different treatment paths: some get standard or reduced-dose radiation, while others receive an additional immunotherapy drug called sintilimab. The goal is to see if adjusting treatment based on early response can maintain high progression-free survival while potentially reducing unnecessary radiation exposure.

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 gemcitabine, etoposide, dexamethasone, and pegaspargase (GELAD), with or without radiotherapy and sintilimab, adjusted based on early response.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that some patients with early-stage NK/T-cell lymphoma can safely receive lower-dose radiation, reducing side effects while maintaining disease control.
What could go wrong
This is a phase 2 trial, so results are preliminary. The reduced radiation dose might not be as effective, and the immunotherapy consolidation may not improve outcomes for high-risk patients.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 to 75 years, inclusive. * Histologically confirmed extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type, according to the 2022 World Health Organization classification. * Diagnosis confirmed by institutional or central pathological review. Tumor tissue must be adequate for morphological assessment, immunohistochemistry, and Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNA in situ hybridization. * Lugano 2014 stage IE or IIE disease with a primary site in the upper aerodigestive tract, including but not limited to the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, nasopharynx, oropharynx, or oral cavity. * At least one disease lesion evaluable by PET/CT at baseline. * No previous chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, or other antitumor biological therapy for lymphoma. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 to 2. * Adequate organ function, including: * Absolute neutrophil count at least 1.0 x 10\^9/L. * Platelet count at least 75 x 10\^9/L. * Hemoglobin at least 90 g/L. * No granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, platelet transfusion, or red blood cell transfusion within 14 days before enrollment. * Total bilirubin no greater than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal. * Alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase no greater than 2 times the upper limit of normal. * Serum creatinine no greater than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal. * Fibrinogen at least 1.5 g/L. * Left ventricular ejection fraction at least 50%. * Ability to understand the study and provide written informed consent. * Willingness to comply with protocol treatment, follow-up, laboratory testing, imaging assessments, and biospecimen collection. Exclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis not meeting the 2022 World Health Organization criteria for extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma or not confirmed after pathological review. * Lugano stage III or IV disease or distant organ involvement inconsistent with localized early-stage disease. * Primary disease outside the upper aerodigestive tract or predominantly systemic or widespread extranodal disease. * Previous lymphoma-directed chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, or other systemic antitumor treatment. * Human immunodeficiency virus infection, active hepatitis C virus infection, or hepatitis B virus infection with HBV DNA greater than 10\^3/mL. * History of pancreatitis or pancreatic disease considered unsuitable for pegaspargase treatment. * Acute or systemic infection requiring intravenous anti-infective treatment. * Severe complications including hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis or disseminated intravascular coagulation. * Significant organ dysfunction, including respiratory failure, chronic congestive heart failure of New York Heart Association class II or higher, decompensated hepatic or renal dysfunction, uncontrolled hypertension or diabetes despite appropriate treatment, or cardiovascular or cerebrovascular thrombosis or bleeding within the previous 6 months. * Active autoimmune disease or another condition considered by the investigator to make immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment unsuitable. * Pregnancy or breastfeeding. * Participants of reproductive potential who are unwilling to use adequate contraception. * Known severe hypersensitivity to any study drug or its excipients. * Another active malignancy within the previous 6 months requiring surgery, radiotherapy, or systemic anticancer therapy. * Severe psychiatric disorder, poor adherence, or another condition that, in the investigator's judgment, would prevent completion of protocol treatment or follow-up. * Current use of another investigational drug or participation in another interventional clinical trial within 4 weeks before enrollment.
