Trial summary

Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma is a rare disease entity with aggressive clinical course and poor prognosis. Currently, there is no treatment option for relapsed or refractory extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma. Romidepsin is a histone deacetylase inhibitor which was approved for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.

About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Romidepsin in Relapsed or Refractory Extranodal NK/T-cell

Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma is a rare disease entity with aggressive clinical course and poor prognosis. Currently, there is no treatment option for relapsed or refractory extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma. Romidepsin is a histone deacetylase inhibitor which was approved for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. A recent phase II study of romidepsin for relapsed/refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma reported an overall response rate of 38% (95% confidence interval 24%-53%). The median duration of overall response was 8.9 months. Considering the median number of previous treatments in these patients was three (range 1-11), romidepsin has single agent activity against relapsed/refractory T-cell lymphoma. Thus, if the single agent activity of romidepsin is demonstrated, it could be a therapeutic agent for combination with salvage treatment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Rate of overall disease control including CR, PR, and SD

    Overall rate of disease control including CR, PR and SD Overall survival: Time between the date of treatment start and the date of death due to any cause

    Measured: Time between the date of treatment start and the date of death

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of participants with adverse events

    Number of participants with adverse events

    Measured: from the date of informed consent signature to 30 days after last drug administration

  2. Time to progression

    Performing Cervical, Chest, Abdomen and Pelvis CT scan for the assessment

    Measured: from the date of first drug administration until the date of first documented progression

  3. overall survival

    Overall Survival will be measured from the date of first drug administration to the date of death from any cause.

    Measured: from the date of first drug administration until the date of death

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Romidepsin in people with Histologically Proven Extranodal NKTcell Lymphoma, run by Samsung Medical Center at 4 sites in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 16 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of overall disease control including CR, PR, and SD (time frame: Time between the date of treatment start and the date of death). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Jul 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
