April 1, 2026 updated by: Zhao Weili, Ruijin Hospital

Genotype-guided Targeted Agents in Combination With EZH2 Inhibitor, Zeprumetostat for Primary Refractory Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma (PTCL), a Prospective, Open-label, Multi-center Study

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Zeprumetostat-based combination therapy, selected according to genotyping results, in patients with primary refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL).

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

Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is a distinct and heterogeneous histopathologic subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), accounting for ~10%. Patients with PTCL still have poor treatment response and prognosis under conventional CHOP regimen. Clinical outcomes of refractory patients are even poorer. Targeted drugs are warranted in this group of patients to improve survival. This prospective, multi-center, open-label study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of targeted drug in combination with Zeprumetostat, an EZH2 inhibitor in treatment of primary refractory peripheral peripheral T-cell lymphoma.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Summary of DLT events (Phase Ib)
Time Frame: At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days)
Measure Description: Enroll 6 pts per cohort and observe the number of pts experiencing dose-limiting toxicity.
At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days)
Overall response rate (Phase Ⅱ)
Time Frame: At the end of Cycle 3 (each cycle is 28 days)
Percentage of participants with overall response was determined on the basis of investigator assessments according to 2014 Lugano criteria
At the end of Cycle 3 (each cycle is 28 days)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Complete response rate
Time Frame: At the end of Cycle 3
Percentage of participants with complete response was determined on the basis of investigator assessments according to 2014 Lugano criteria
At the end of Cycle 3
Disease Control Rate
Time Frame: each cycle is 28 days
Percentage of participants with complete response, partial response, or stable disease, as determined by investigator assessment according to the 2014 Lugano criteria, at the end of Cycle 3
each cycle is 28 days
Duration of response
Time Frame: Baseline up to data cut-off
Time from first occurrence of documented CR or PR to disease progression/relapse, or death from any cause for participants with a response of CR or PR. Tumor assessments were performed with PET-CT.
Baseline up to data cut-off
Duration of complete response
Time Frame: Baseline up to data cut-off
Time from first occurrence of documented CR to disease progression/relapse, or death from any cause for participants with a response of CR or PR. Tumor assessments were performed with PET-CT.
Baseline up to data cut-off
Progression free survival
Time Frame: Baseline up to data cut-off
Progression-free survival was defined as the time from the date of diagnosis until the date of the first documented day of disease progression or relapse, using 2014 Lugano criteria, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first.
Baseline up to data cut-off
Overall survival
Time Frame: Baseline up to data cut-off
Overall survival was defined as the time from the date of diagnosis to the date of death from any cause. Reported is the percentage of participants with event. of disease progression or relapse, using 2014 Lugano criteria,or death from any cause, whichever occurred first.
Baseline up to data cut-off
Treatment-Related Adverse Events
Time Frame: Baseline up to data cut-off
An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.
Baseline up to data cut-off
Exploratory biomarker analysis
Time Frame: Baseline up to data cut-off
Exploratory biomarker to predict treatment response and survival
Baseline up to data cut-off
