Combining sintilimab with chemotherapy for advanced NK/T-cell lymphoma
Official title: A Multicenter, Phase 2, Randomized Trial of Sintilimab (PD-1 Antibody) With P-GEMOX Versus the P-GEMOX Regimen in the Teatment of Newly Diagnosed Advanced-stage Extranodal Natural Killer/T Cell Lymphoma (ENKTL) (SPIRIT-02)
Run by Sun Yat-sen University · NCT06583083 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if adding a new drug called sintilimab to chemotherapy can help people with advanced NK/T-cell lymphoma do better than with chemotherapy alone.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults over 18 years old with a pathologically diagnosed advanced-stage extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma and at least one measurable lesion.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with aggressive NK-cell leukemia, central nervous system involvement, or significant organ dysfunction may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of sintilimab, a PD-1 inhibitor, combined with the P-GEMOX chemotherapy regimen in patients with newly diagnosed advanced-stage extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma. The study aims to determine if this combination can improve treatment outcomes compared to chemotherapy alone. Additionally, it will explore potential biomarkers that may predict patient responses to the treatment. The trial is designed as a randomized controlled trial to provide robust data on the effectiveness of this approach.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could offer a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced NK/T-cell lymphoma, potentially improving survival rates.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with PD-1 inhibitors in similar conditions, suggesting potential for success in this novel combination approach.
