Comparing Chi-BEAM and BEAM Regimens for Newly Diagnosed Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial Comparing Chidamide,Carmustine,Etoposide,Cytarabine and Melphalan With BEAM Regimen Combined With Autologus Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed PTCL

Run by The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University · NCT05931263 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing whether a new treatment called Chi-BEAM works better than the standard BEAM treatment for people with newly diagnosed peripheral T-cell lymphoma before they have a stem cell transplant.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are patients aged 18 to 65 with newly diagnosed PTCL who have achieved a complete or partial response after first-line treatment.

Probably not a fit

Patients with central nervous system involvement or active hepatitis B or C virus infections 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 aims to compare the Chi-BEAM regimen with the standard BEAM regimen in patients with newly diagnosed peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) prior to autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either treatment, and the study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of both regimens. The primary endpoint is the two-year progression-free survival (PFS), while secondary endpoints include overall survival (OS), complete response rates, and other safety metrics. This multicenter, randomized controlled trial will provide valuable insights into the best treatment approach for ND PTCL.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this trial could lead to improved survival rates for patients with newly diagnosed PTCL.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promising results with similar treatment regimens, indicating potential for success in this approach.
