The Efficacy and Safety of Anti-PD-1 Antibody in Combination With Pegaspargase in the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed, Stage III to IV Extranodal Natural Killer/T-Cell Lymphoma, Nasal Type

Extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL), nasal type, is a distinct and heterogeneous histopathologic subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), accounting for 5%\~10%. The frequency of ENKTL among NHL patients is significantly higher in Asia than in Western countries, with poor prognosis. L-asparaginase-based chemotherapy has improved the survival for these patients with advanced stage. However, there is no standard of care for those patients with advanced stage. Anti-PD-1 antibody has been proven its efficacy in relapsed or refractory NK/T cell lymphoma. This open-label, single arm study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of PD-1 antibody in combination with pegaspargase in treatment of newly diagnosed advanced stage NK/T-cell lymphoma.
