Study summary

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of chidamide combined with brentuximab vedotin regimen for CD30 positive PTCL patients who are unfit for chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

This study will enroll CD30-positive peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) patients who are ineligible for conventional chemotherapy. Participants will receive induction therapy with 3 cycles of BvC regimen (brentuximab vedotin plus chidamide combination). Patients demonstrating disease progression (PD) or stable disease (SD) will be withdrawn from the study. Patients achieving partial remission(PR) or complete remission(CR) will receive stratification consolidation therapy as followings:

Cohort 1 (patients achieved CR): Receive 3 additional cycles of BvC consolidation

Cohort 2 (patients achieved PR): Receive 6 additional cycles of BvC consolidation

After consolidation therapy, responding patients (CR/PR) will receive chidamide maintenance therapy for ≥2 years

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Complete response rate(CRR)

    The rate of patients who achieved CR after 3 cycles of BvC regimen

    Time frame: At the end of 3 cycles of BvC (each cycle is 21 days)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Main adverse reactions

    The safety and tolerability of the therapeutic regimen measured by the major adverse events.

    Time frame: From enrollment to 1 month after consolidation treatment of the last patient

  2. 2-year overall survival(OS)

    OS will be assessed from the start of the combination regimen to the date of death or end of follow-up.

    Time frame: From enrollment to 2 year after treatment of the last patient

  3. Overall response rate(ORR)

    The rate of patients who achieved CR or PR after 3 cycles of BvC regimen

    Time frame: At the end of 3 cycles of BvC (each cycle is 21 days)

  4. 2-year progression-free survival(PFS)

    PFS will be assessed from the first drug given to the date of progression, relapse, death or end of follow-up.

    Time frame: From enrollment to 2 year after treatment of the last patient
