"Sandwich" Chemotherapy With Radiotherapy in Newly Diagnosed, Stage IE to IIE, ENKTL
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
A phase 2 study was conducted of "sandwich" protocols, with earlier RT after an initial 2 of P-CHOP (Pegaspargase, cyclophosphamide,vincristine, doxorubicin and dexamethasone ), followed by further two "consolidation" cycles,to explore the appropriate mode of combined modality therapy (CMT) in early stage ENKTL.

Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
The extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) shows high local or systemic failure rates when radiotherapy (RT) is taken as the primary treatment, suggesting a role for chemotherapy (CT) added to RT for this disease. However, the appropriate mode of combined modality therapy (CMT) has not been fully defined.We conducted a prospective phase II study of "Sandwich" Pegaspargase, cyclophosphamide,vincristine, doxorubicin and dexamethasone (P-CHOP) regimen in combination with radiotherapy.The "sandwich" protocols, refer to earlier RT after an initial 2 cycles of P-CHOP followed by further two "consolidation" cycles.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: sandwich protocols sandwich protocols: Patients with newly diagnosed ENKTL is given 2 cycles of P-CHOP[cyclophosphamide(CTX), 750 mg/m2 day 1; vincristine(VCR), 1.4 mg/m2 day 1 (maximal dose 2 mg),adriamycin(ADM) 50 mg/m2 day 1; dexamethasone(DXM) 10 mg days 1-8; Pegaspargase 2500 international unit day 1] before radiotherapy(RT) and then two "consolidation" cycles after RT. |
Drug: P-CHOP
Two cycles of P-CHOP:cyclophosphamide, 750 mg/m2 day 1; vincristine,(maximal dose 2 mg),adriamycin , 50 mg/m2 day 1; dexamethasone,10mg days 1-8; Pegaspargase, 2500IU/m2 day 1 are given before radiotherapy
Other Names:
Radiation: Radiotherapy
Radiotherapy was scheduled after 2 cycles of P-CHOPregimen. Involved field radiotherapy(IFRT) is delivered using 6-Million electron Volts linear accelerator using 3-dimensional conformable treatment planning. The IFRT dose was 56 grays (Gy) in 28 fractions.

Two "consolidation" cycles of P-CHOP are given after radiotherapy

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- complete remission rate [every 4 weeks,up to completion of treatment(approximately 6 months)]
The criteria for the efficacy evaluation (complete remission) of the regimen is according to the following article. Cheson BD, Horning SJ, Coiffier B, et al. Report of an international workshop to standardize response criteria for non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. NCI Sponsored International Working Group. J Clin Oncol. 1999;17:1244
Secondary Outcome Measures
- progression free survival [up to end of follow-up-phase (approximately 3 years)]
time from the date of enrollment to date of disease progression, or death of any cause, or date of lost follow-up, whichever comes first
- overall survival [up to end of follow-up-phase (approximately 3 years)]
time from the date of enrollment to date of death from any cause, or date of lost follow-up, whichever comes first.
- Hematological and non-hematological safety as a measure of adverse events according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v3.0 (CTCAE) [up to end of follow-up-phase (approximately 3 years)]
including hematological safety and non-hematological safety. All the adverse events will be classified according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v3.0 (CTCAE)
