Study Summary

This trial is testing pembrolizumab, an immunotherapy, in combination with romidepsin, a cancer growth inhibitor, to treat participants with peripheral T-cell lymphoma that has come back or does not respond to treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with peripheral T-cell lymphoma that's come back or didn't respond to treatment. They must have had at least one prior treatment, be in good physical condition (ECOG 0 or 1), and have adequate organ function. Pregnant women can't participate, and participants must agree to use contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests pembrolizumab combined with romidepsin against recurrent or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Pembrolizumab boosts the immune system to fight cancer, while romidepsin blocks enzymes needed for tumor cell growth.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to the immune system attacking normal organs, infusion-related reactions, fatigue, nausea, blood disorders like anemia or clotting problems, and increased risk of infections.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What ailments can be alleviated by using romidepsin and pembrolizumab in combination?

"Romidepsin and pembrolizumab are used to treat multiple malignant neoplasms, as well as microsatellite instability high diseases that have advanced beyond chemotherapy and unresectable melanomas."

Answered by AI

What other exploratory investigations have been conducted concerning the effects of romidepsin and pembrolizumab?

"Presently, there are 928 clinical trials running on the effectiveness of Treatment (romidepsin, pembrolizumab) with 124 currently in Phase 3. Though Houston Texas functions as a major hub for research into this treatment, it can be accessed at 35822 different locations across the world."

Answered by AI

Are there currently any openings for participants in this clinical trial?

"This clinical trial is not currently open for enrolment. It was first listed on November 14th 2017 and has been edited most recently on January 30th 2023. Should you wish to pursue alternative studies, there are 2606 medical trials recruiting anaplastic large cell lymphoma patients and 928 active applications evaluating the efficacy of romidepsin or pembrolizumab treatments."

Answered by AI

What is the scale of participation in this research endeavor?

"At present, this clinical trial is not accepting new participants. This study was first added to the database on November 14th 2017 and its last update occurred on January 30th 2023. For those seeking similar trials, there are 2606 active studies involving anaplastic large cell lymphoma and 928 related investigations testing out treatments such as romidepsin and pembrolizumab that can still be joined."

Answered by AI

What aims are hoped to be achieved through this trial?

"This clinical trial is planned to run for up to three years and aims to measure dose-limiting toxicity (Phase I). Secondary objectives include complete response, overall survival, and progression-free survival. Response will be evaluated using Lugano Revised Response Criteria, ISCL for Research and EORTC criteria while summary statistics of continuous variables are gathered. Fisher's exact test is used to determine the correlation between two categorical variables; Wilcoxon rank sum tests analyze differences in continuous values among patient groups; Kaplan–Meier method estimates CR/OR rates with 95% confidence intervals as well as overall & PFS survivals."
