Sintilimab, Pegaspargase Plus GemOx for Untreated Extranodal NK/T-Cell Lymphoma

February 8, 2025 updated by: Peking Union Medical College Hospital

A Single-arm, Phase 2 Study of Sintilimab, Pegaspargase Combined with Gemcitabine and Oxaliplatin (P-P-GEMOX) Regimen for Newly Diagnosed Extranodal NK/T-Cell Lymphoma

This is a single-arm phase 2 study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sintilimab, pegaspargase combined with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (P-P-GEMOX regimen) as first-line treatment for patients with ENKTL. The primary endpoint is the complete response rate (CRR) in the intention-to-treat population.The secondary endpoints were overall response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse events.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: P-P-GemOx arm
Sintilimab, pegaspargase combined with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (P-P-GEMOX) regimen

P-P-GemOx regimen Sintilimab 200mg iv D1; Pegaspargase 3750U im D1; GemOx regimen: Gemcitabine 1000mg/m2 iv D1, Oxaliplatin 100mg/m2 iv D1 This regimen is administered every 3 weeks.

For patients with stage I-II (localized) disease:

A sandwich approach incorporating radiotherapy is employed. Patients initially receive 2 cycles of the P-P-GemOx regimen. If the interim evaluation demonstrates a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), patients will proceed to intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). Following radiotherapy, an additional 2 cycles of the P-P-GemOx regimen are administered.

For patients with stage III-IV (advanced) disease. Patients are planned to receive 6 cycles of the P-P-GemOx regimen. For those achieving CR or PR following 6 cycles of immunochemotherapy, subsequent treatment options include autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) or PD-1 monoclonal antibody maintenance therapy, determined based on age and overall physical condition.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Complete response rate (CRR)
Time Frame: Responses were evaluated after 3 cycles of induction and 1 month after the completion of study therapy (each cycle is 21 days)
Treatment responses were assessed according to the 2014 Lugano classification criteria.
Responses were evaluated after 3 cycles of induction and 1 month after the completion of study therapy (each cycle is 21 days)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression-free survival (PFS)
Time Frame: From date of enrollment until documented disease progression or death of any reason (up to 3 years).
Progression-free survival was defined as the time from the date of enrollment until the date of the first documented day of disease progression or relapse, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first.
From date of enrollment until documented disease progression or death of any reason (up to 3 years).
Overall survival
Time Frame: From date of enrollment until documented death of any reason (up to 3 years).
Overall survival was defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the date of death from any cause.
From date of enrollment until documented death of any reason (up to 3 years).
