What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
EnasidenibDrug
Enasidenib 100 mg daily on 28-day cycles.
RituximabDrug
IV rituximab 375 mg/m² weekly for the first month, and monthly thereafter on 28-day cycles, for a total of four months of rituximab.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Enasidenib and rituximab | Experimental | Screening Cohort (Non-MSK Patients only) Non-MSK patients will send research tissue samples to MSK for ddPCR analysis to assess IDH2 mutation. Once mutation is confirmed they may be consented to the treatment portion of the trial.
All patients will receive oral enasidenib 100 mg daily on 28-day cycles. Patients with evidence of a co-occurring B-cell lymphoproliferation (via tumor morphology, flow cytometry, or B-cell clonality) will be administered IV rituximab 375 mg/m² weekly for the first month, and monthly for 3 months thereafter on 28-day cycles, for a total of four months of rituximab. If B-cell proliferation persists at the end of the 4-month rituximab treatment period, continue treatment with monthly rituximab until no evidence of B-cell lymphoproliferation is seen.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Enasidenib and Rituximab in people with T-cell Lymphoma, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 7 sites in United States.
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 18 inclusion and 25 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Aug 2026. 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 United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
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?
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?
response rate (time frame: 1 year). 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 20 Aug 2026.
