Summary

Aim of the trial is to evaluate the activity and tolerability of the anti PD1 agent Pembrolizumab in combination with RadioTherapy for the initial treatment of previously untreated patients with limited stage NK/T cell lymphoma who are not eligible to chemotherapy.

It is planned to enroll 30 patients in chinese sites.

All eligible patients will be treated with standard radiotherapy and concurrent pembrolizumab administered intravenously every 3 weeks. After 6 cycles of pembrolizumab patients with complete remission, partial response and stable disease will continue with pembrolizumab maintenance up to 2 years.

Patients will be followed up to 4 years from treatment start.

Conditions

  • Lymphoma, Extranodal NK-T-Cell

Interventions

DRUG

Pembrolizumab

50 mg powder for concentrate for solution for infusion

RADIATION

Involved Field Radiation Therapy

50-54 Gy Involved Field Radiation Therapy (IFRT) as proposed by the International Lymphoma Radiation Oncology Group (ILROG) guidelines. 50 Gy is recommended in patients without primary tumor invasiveness (invasion to adjacent tissue and/or organs), 54 Gy in locally advanced cases (invasion to adjacent tissue and/or organs) or with other risk factors (age \> 60 years, stage II, elevated serum LDH levels). Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) are recommended but not mandatory; 3-dimensional conformal RT (3D-CRT) is allowed.
