Pegaspargase-COEP Chemotherapy Combined With Radiotherapy for Extra-nodal NK/T Cell Lymphoma

Overview

The optimal first-line treatment for extra-nodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) has not been well-defined. This phase II study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pegaspargase, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, etoposide and prednisone (COEPL) regimen combined with radiotherapy for patients with newly diagnosed ENKTL.

Study Type

  • Study Type: Interventional
  • Study Design
    • Allocation: Non-Randomized
    • Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
    • Primary Purpose: Treatment
    • Masking: None (Open Label)
  • Study Primary Completion Date: December 30, 2023

Interventions

  • Drug: pegaspargase, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, etoposide, prednisone
    • Cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m2 intravenously on day 1, vincristine 1.4 mg/m2 intravenously on day1, etoposide 60mg/m2 intravenously on days 1-3; pegaspargase 2500IU/m2 intramuscularly on day 2, prednisone 100mg orally on days 1-5.

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: Stage I/II nasal ENKTL
    • 2-3 cycles of induction pegaspargase-COEP chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy, then by 1-2 cycles of pegaspargase-COEP chemotherapy as consolidation
  • Experimental: Stage III/IV or primary extra-nasal ENKTL
    • 6-8 cycles of pegaspargase-COEP chemotherapy with or without local radiotherapy and/or consolidative autologous stem cell transplantation
