GAD-M Regimen As First-Line Treatment in Untreated Extranodal NK/T Cell Lymphoma

June 11, 2016 updated by: Li Zhiming, Sun Yat-sen University

An Open, Single-center, Phase II Clinical Trial for Treatment of Untreated Extranodal NK/T Cell Lymphoma With High Dose of Methotrexate in Combination With Gemcitabine, Pegaspargase and Dexamethasone (GAD-M Regimen)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of High dose of Methotrexate combined with gemcitabine, pegaspargase and dexamethasone (GAD-M regimen) as first-line treatment in patients with de novo extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Studies have shown that effects of P glycoprotein mediated chemotherapy resistance reduce the therapeutic efficacy of anthracycline-based chemotherapy of NK/T cell lymphoma, and agents like pegaspargase and large doses of Methotrexate is not affected by the P glycoprotein. A number of reports suggest that gemcitabine combined with other chemotherapy drugs has good application prospect in the treatment of lymphomas. Dexamethasone is used in combination with other agents for the treatment of lymphomas which may be implicated in the development or growth of some cancers. So we explored to evaluate the efficacy and safety of High dose of methotrexate combined with gemcitabine, pegaspargase and dexamethasone (GAD-M regimen) as first-line treatment in patients with untreated extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma.
