A Pilot Study of Romidepsin in Relapsed or Refractory Extranodal NK/T-cell Lymphoma

Overview

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.

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Rate of overall disease control including CR, PR, and SD
    • Time Frame: Time between the date of treatment start and the date of death
    • 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

Secondary Measures

  • Number of participants with adverse events
    • Time Frame: from the date of informed consent signature to 30 days after last drug administration
    • Number of participants with adverse events
  • Time to progression
    • Time Frame: from the date of first drug administration until the date of first documented progression
    • Performing Cervical, Chest, Abdomen and Pelvis CT scan for the assessment
  • overall survival
    • Time Frame: from the date of first drug administration until the date of death
    • Overall Survival will be measured from the date of first drug administration to the date of death from any cause.
