About this study

Official title: The Efficacy and Safety of Gemcitabine, Etoposide, Dexamethasone and Pegaspargase Chemotherapy (GELAD) With Sandwiched Radiotherapy in the Treatment of Stage IE/II Natural Killer/T-Cell Lymphoma: A Multicenter, Prospective Study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of gemcitabine, etoposide, pegaspargase and dexamethasone (GELAD) chemotherapy and sandwiched radiotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with de novo stage IE/IIE extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type.

Read the detailed description

Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL), nasal type, is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) with relatively high incidence in China. Radiotherapy alone for stage IE/IIE diseases has good response rate but with high relapse rates, ranging from 20-50%. The combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy improved the long-term survival for patients with stage IE/IIE diseases. But the optimal treatment schedule has not been established. This study is designed with two cycles GELAD chemotherapy, followed by 50-56Gy radiotherapy, and completed with additional two cycles GELAD chemotherapy. The efficacy and safety of this sandwiched chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of stage IE/IIE ENKTCL will be measured.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
GELAD/RadiationExperimentalPatients will be initially treated with two cycles GELAD chemotherapy, followed by 50-56Gy radiotherapy, and completed with another two cycles GELAD chemotherapy. GELAD chemotherapy will be repeated every 21 days. Radiotherapy will be delivered in 25-32 fractions.
Receives: Drug: GELAD; Radiation: Radiotherapy

What is being measured

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

  1. Complete response rate

    The complete response rate will be assessed on day 28 after the 4th course of chemotherapy.

    Measured: 28 days after 4 cycles of chemotherapy

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Progression free survival

    Progression free survival is the time from entry onto the treatment until lymphoma progression or death of any reason.

    Measured: 2-year

  2. Overall Response rate

    The complete response rate will be assessed on day 28 after the 4th course of chemotherapy.

    Measured: 28 days after 4 cycles of chemotherapy

  3. Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    Treatment-Related Adverse Events will be assessed and graded by NCI CTCAE v4.0.

    Measured: Day 1 of each course and then every 3 months for 2 years

  4. Overall survival

    Overall survival is defiend as the time from entry onto the treatment until death of any reason

    Measured: 2-year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing GELAD and Radiotherapy in people with Extranodal NK-T-Cell Lymphoma, Nasal Type, run by Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine at 7 sites in China.

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 6 inclusion and 8 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 14 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in China. 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.

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?

Complete response rate (time frame: 28 days after 4 cycles of chemotherapy). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02733458, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 14 Sep 2021.
