Read the detailed description
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of chidamide, anti-PD1 antibody, and pegaspargase versus DDGP in the treatment of newly diagnosed, stage III to IV extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma. Subjects will be randomly assigned 1:1 to chidamide, anti-PD1 antibody, and pegaspargase or DDGP regimen.
Patients in chidamide, anti-PD1 antibody, and pegaspargase group will receive 6 cycles of pegaspargase 2500IU/m2 intramuscularly on day1, anti-PD1 antibody 200mg intravenously on day 2, chidamide 30mg biw orally, every 21 days. Patients in DDGP group will receive 6 cycles of pegaspargase 2500IU/m2 intramuscularly on day1, cisplatin 20mg/m2 intravenously on days 1 through 4, dexamethasone 15mg/m2 intravenously on days 1 through 5, gemcitabine 800mg/m2 on day 1 and day 8, every 21 days.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Progression free survival
Progression-free survival was defined as the time from the date of diagnosis until the date of the first documented day of disease progression or relapse, using 2014 Lugano criteria2016 Refinement of the Lugano Classification lymphoma response criteria in the era of immunomodulatory therapy, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first.
Measured: Baseline up to data cut-off (up to approximately 2 years)
Secondary outcomes (5)
Complete response rate
Percentage of participants with complete response was determined on the basis of investigator assessments according to 2014 Lugano criteria and 2016 Refinement of the Lugano Classification lymphoma response criteria in the era of immunomodulatory therapy.
Measured: At the end of Cycle 6 (each cycle is 21 days)
Overall response rate
Percentage of participants with overall response was determined on the basis of investigator assessments according to 2014 Lugano criteria and 2016 Refinement of the Lugano Classification lymphoma response criteria in the era of immunomodulatory therapy.
Measured: At the end of Cycle 6 (each cycle is 21 days)
Overall survival
Overall survival in the overall study population was defined as the time from the date of diagnosis to the date of death from any cause. Reported is the percentage of participants with event.
Measured: Baseline up to data cut-off (up to approximately 2 years)
Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v5.0
An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.
Measured: From enrollment to study completion, a maximum of 4 years
Percentage of Participants Achieving Meaningful Improvement in European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life-Core 30 Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30)
The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a health-related quality of life questionnaire. A higher score indicates better quality of life, with changes of 5 to 10 points considered to be a minimally important difference to participants.
Measured: Baseline (pre-dose [Hour 0] on Cycle1 Day1), Cycle3 Day 1, end of treatment (up to Month 6), every 3 months 1st year, every 6 months 2nd year, and 12 months thereafter up to data cut-off, up to approximately 4 years (cycle length = 21 days)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing chidamide, anti-PD1 antibody, and pegaspargase and DDGP in people with Extranodal Natural Killer T Cell Lymphoma, run by Ruijin Hospital at 1 site 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 11 inclusion and 14 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site 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.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Weili ZHAO (+862164370045 ext. 610707, zhao.weili@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Progression free survival (time frame: Baseline up to data cut-off (up to approximately 2 years)). 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 13 Feb 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
