Tislelizumab with cyclophosphamide, mitoxantrone liposomes, chidamide, and prednisone for relapsed or refractory angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Tislelizumab in Combination With Cyclophosphamide, Mitoxantrone Liposomes, Chidamide, and Prednisone in the Treatment of R/R AITL: a Multicenter, Single-arm, Prospective Clinical Study

Run by The Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University · NCT07058103 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial will test whether adding the immunotherapy tislelizumab to chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and mitoxantrone liposomes) plus the epigenetic drug chidamide and prednisone helps adults with relapsed or refractory angioimmunoblastic T‑cell lymphoma.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18 years) with pathologically confirmed AITL who have relapsed or are refractory after at least one systemic therapy, have measurable disease per Lugano 2014, ECOG performance status ≤3, and life expectancy over 3 months are appropriate candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are treatment‑naïve, have poor performance status (ECOG >3), uncontrolled infections, significant organ dysfunction, or contraindications to any study drugs are unlikely to benefit from participation.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This Phase 2, single-center trial gives adults with relapsed or refractory angioimmunoblastic T‑cell lymphoma a combination regimen of the PD‑1 antibody tislelizumab, cyclophosphamide, mitoxantrone liposomes, the HDAC inhibitor chidamide, and prednisone. Eligible patients must have pathologically confirmed AITL with at least one measurable lesion per Lugano 2014 and have relapsed or been refractory after at least one prior systemic therapy. The study will deliver treatment cycles at the hospital site and monitor tumor response and safety over scheduled visits and follow-up. Outcomes will be compared to historical expectations to see if the combination increases response rates or duration of remission.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this combination could improve response rates and lengthen remissions for patients with relapsed or refractory AITL.

How similar studies have gone: Related approaches combining PD‑1 blockade with chemotherapy or HDAC inhibitors have shown mixed but sometimes promising activity in peripheral T‑cell lymphomas, while this exact multi‑agent regimen is novel and unproven.
