About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the regimen of dexamethasone, azacitidine, pegaspargase and tislelizumab (DAPT regimen) combined with radiotherapy works to treat stage I or II NK/T cell lymphoma in adults. It will also learn about the safety of the DAPT regimen. The main questions it aims to answer are:

What are the efficacy of the DAPT regimen plus radiotherapy in participants with extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma? What medical problems do participants have when taking the DAPT regimen?

Participants will:

Receive the DAPT regimen every 21 days for 6 cycles and radiotherapy Visit the clinic according to clinical trial requirement for checkups and tests Receive blood tests and radiological imaging tests according to the clinical trial requirement

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Pathologically confirmed diagnosis of extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma

Age ≥18 years

Disqualifiers

Unconfirmed pathological diagnosis of NK/T-cell lymphoma

Pregnant or lactating women, or patients of childbearing age unwilling to take contraceptive measures during the study period.

Patients with clinically significant prolonged QTc interval (>470ms in males, >480ms in females), ventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, second or third degree atrioventricular block, acute myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, severe or symptomatic coronary artery disease requiring medical treatment.

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • DAPT regimen plus radiotherapy

    Drug

    Patients receive 6 cycles of DAPT regimen plus concurrent radiotherapy. The DAPT regimen is administered as follows: dexamethasone 10mg intravenously on days1-3, azacitidine 100mg subcutaneously on days 1-5, pegaspargase 2500IU/m2 intramuscularly on day 1, and tislelizumab 200mg intravenously on day 6, repeated every 21 days. Concurrent radiotherapy given to the tumor sites is started after 2 cycles of DAPT regimen. The specific doses and methods of radiotherapy are in accordance with the clinical guidelines for NK/T-cell lymphoma.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Complete response rate

Complete response rate is assessed according to the 2014 Lugano criteria for response assessment of lymphoma.

Time frame
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Objective response rate

Objective response rate is assessed according to the 2014 Lugano criteria for response assessment of lymphoma, including complete response and partial response.

Time frame
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks
2

2-year progression-free survival rate

Progression-free survival (PFS) is measured from the time of start of treatment to the time of first progression, relapse after response, death from any cause, or the date of last follow-up. 2-year PFS rate will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Time frame
From enrollment to 2 years after the end of treatment
3

2-year overall survival rate

Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from the start of treatment to the time of death from any cause or the date of last follow-up. The 2-year OS rate will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Time frame
From enrollment to 2 years after the end of treatment
4

Adverse events

All adverse events will be recorded and graded according to CTCAE 5.0

Time frame
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 month

Other outcomes

1

Exploratory biomarker analyses

Patients' tumor tissue and blood samples will be collected and analyzed to explore predictive biomarkers for treatment response and prognosis.

Time frame
From enrollment to 2 years after the end of treatment
