Promising combo may slash radiation harm in rare lymphoma
NCT ID NCT07554482
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding the drug selinexor to a lower dose of radiation can treat early-stage NK/T-cell lymphoma just as well as standard high-dose radiation, but with fewer side effects. About 34 people who have not had prior treatment will receive chemotherapy first, then selinexor plus 40 Gy radiation. The goal is to see if this approach keeps the cancer under control while reducing mouth sores and dry mouth.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 18 to 75 years, regardless of gender. * Pathologically confirmed extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL). * Ann Arbor stage I-II disease with primary lesion located in the nasal cavity or upper aerodigestive tract (UADT). * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0-2. * Treatment-naïve patients with no prior radiotherapy, chemotherapy or targeted therapy. * Adequate major organ function as follows: * Hematopoietic function: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5×10⁹/L, platelet count (PLT) ≥100×10⁹/L, hemoglobin (Hb) ≥90 g/L. * Hepatic function: total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤1.5×upper limit of normal (ULN), alanine transaminase (ALT) / aspartate transaminase (AST) ≤2.5×ULN. * Renal function: serum creatinine (Cr) ≤1.5×ULN, or creatinine clearance rate ≥60 mL/min. * Cardiac function: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50%. * Expected overall survival ≥6 months. * Voluntarily sign the written informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: * Non-nasal type ENKTCL, or primary lesions outside the upper aerodigestive tract (UADT), including skin, gastrointestinal tract, lung and other sites. * Patients with Ann Arbor stage III-IV disease. * Central nervous system involvement. * History of prior malignant tumors, excluding non-melanoma skin cancer or cervical carcinoma in situ cured for more than 5 years. * Active infections, including active hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. * Severe complications, such as uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and severe cardiopulmonary diseases. * Pregnant or lactating women. * Hypersensitivity or contraindication to any investigational drugs in this study. * Concurrent participation in other interventional clinical trials.
