A Pilot Study of Romidepsin in Relapsed or Refractory Extranodal NK/T-cell Lymphoma

Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma is a rare disease entity with aggressive clinical course and poor prognosis. Currently, there is no treatment option for relapsed or refractory extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma. Romidepsin is a histone deacetylase inhibitor which was approved for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. A recent phase II study of romidepsin for relapsed/refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma reported an overall response rate of 38% (95% confidence interval 24%-53%). The median duration of overall response was 8.9 months. Considering the median number of previous treatments in these patients was three (range 1-11), romidepsin has single agent activity against relapsed/refractory T-cell lymphoma. Thus, if the single agent activity of romidepsin is demonstrated, it could be a therapeutic agent for combination with salvage treatment.

Treatment and study plan

Romidepsin

Drug

Day 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle Romidepsin Treatment is repeated until documented disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Dose and administration: 4-hour infusion of 14 mg/m2

Other names: Istodax

Primary outcomes

  1. Rate of overall disease control including CR, PR, and SD

    Time frame: Time between the date of treatment start and the date of death

    Overall rate of disease control including CR, PR and SD Overall survival: Time between the date of treatment start and the date of death due to any cause

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of participants with adverse events

    Time frame: from the date of informed consent signature to 30 days after last drug administration

    Number of participants with adverse events

  2. Time to progression

    Time frame: from the date of first drug administration until the date of first documented progression

    Performing Cervical, Chest, Abdomen and Pelvis CT scan for the assessment

  3. overall survival

    Time frame: from the date of first drug administration until the date of death

    Overall Survival will be measured from the date of first drug administration to the date of death from any cause.
