Treatment of relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma with Chidamide and Duvalisib

A Multicenter, Prospective and Single-arm Clinical Study on the Treatment of Refractory/Relapsed Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma (R/R PTCL) With Chidamide and Duvalisib

PHASE2 · The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University · NCT06151106

This study is testing if a new combination of two drugs, Chidamide and Duvalisib, can help people with hard-to-treat peripheral T-cell lymphoma feel better and live longer.

What this trial studies

This Phase 2, open-label clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of Chidamide combined with Duvalisib for patients with refractory or relapsed peripheral T-cell lymphoma. The study aims to measure overall response rates, complete and partial responses, overall survival, and progression-free survival, while also monitoring adverse effects. Eligible participants must have a confirmed diagnosis of peripheral T-cell lymphoma and have previously undergone at least one systemic treatment. The trial will assess the treatment's effectiveness based on specific measurable lesions.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-75 with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma who have previously received systemic treatment.

Not a fit: Patients who have not received prior systemic treatment or those with certain comorbidities may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with difficult-to-treat peripheral T-cell lymphoma.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have explored similar combinations for treating T-cell lymphomas, showing promising results, but this specific combination is relatively novel.

The active infection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), or hepatitis C virus (HCV) should be excluded except for the following patients: patients with HBV infection (HBsAg or HBcAg positive) but HBV DNA negative. These patients need continuous antiviral treatment and HBV DNA PCR detection every cycle. additionally, patients with HCV serology positive but HCV RNA negative can be enrolled.
5. In patients with CMV infection (IgM positive), CMV DNA was positive by PCR.
6. Meet any of the following criteria related to visceral function: all kinds of clinically significant abnormal rhythm or conduction need clinical pre-diagnosis Hereditary QT interval syndrome or QTcF\>480 msec or taking drugs that may cause Qt interval delay or torsade de pointes.

Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF )\<40%, or uncontrolled blood pressure controlled by drugs (Systolic blood pressure \> 160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \> 100 mgHg).
7. Have a history of stroke or intracranial hemorrhage within 6 months before drug administration for the first time
8. Major surgery was performed within 4 weeks before drug administration for the first study

10. Received systemic anti-tumor therapy or radiotherapy within 4 weeks before the first study drug administration
11. The last time you participated in clinical trials of other drugs before the administration of the first study drug was less than 2 weeks or the last time you used targeted drugs (such as antibody drugs) was less than 4 weeks
12. patients received the transplantation of somatic hematopoietic stem cells within 3 months before the first drug administration
13. Patients received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or having any active graft-versus-host disease within 6 months before first drug administration.
14. Take a strong inducer or inhibitor of cytochrome P4503A4 (CYP3A4) within 2 weeks before drug administration (3 weeks for Hypericum perforatum) for the first time.
15. Before the first enrollment, the toxic reaction of previous anti-tumor therapy has not recovered to ≤1 level (except alopecia).
16. Patients with uncontrolled systemic infection requiring intravenous antibiotic treatment
17. Currently suffering from other primary tumors that need active treatment according to the guidelines
18. Inability to take drugs orally, previous surgical history or serious gastrointestinal diseases such as dysphagia and active gastric ulcer may affect the absorption of drugs
19. Pregnant (serum pregnancy test results are positive) or lactating women
20. Any other diseases, abnormal metabolism, abnormal physical examination or abnormal laboratory examination with significant clinical significance, according to the researcher's judgment, it is reasonable to suspect that the patient has a certain disease or state that is not suitable for using these two drugs, or it will affect the interpretation of the research results or put the patient in a high-risk situation.
