Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of gemcitabine, etoposide, pegaspargase and dexamethasone (GELAD) chemotherapy and sandwiched radiotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with de novo stage IE/IIE extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL), nasal type, is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) with relatively high incidence in China. Radiotherapy alone for stage IE/IIE diseases has good response rate but with high relapse rates, ranging from 20-50%. The combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy improved the long-term survival for patients with stage IE/IIE diseases. But the optimal treatment schedule has not been established. This study is designed with two cycles GELAD chemotherapy, followed by 50-56Gy radiotherapy, and completed with additional two cycles GELAD chemotherapy. The efficacy and safety of this sandwiched chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of stage IE/IIE ENKTCL will be measured.

GELAD/Radiation

Patients will be initially treated with two cycles GELAD chemotherapy, followed by 50-56Gy radiotherapy, and completed with another two cycles GELAD chemotherapy. GELAD chemotherapy will be repeated every 21 days. Radiotherapy will be delivered in 25-32 fractions.
