Study Summary

This trial will test a new combination therapy for ATLL consisting of Belinostat and AZT.

Who is the study for?
Adults with Adult T-Cell Leukemia-Lymphoma (ATLL) who have had some treatment and a partial response can join. They must be over 18, have certain blood counts and liver/kidney function, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, agree to use birth control, and cannot have other serious health issues or another active cancer.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Belinostat combined with Zidovudine as a follow-up therapy for ATLL. Participants will already have received some treatment for ATLL and shown improvement without new disease progression.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to the immune system, fatigue, nausea, changes in blood counts that could increase infection risk or cause bleeding problems, liver issues, and potential allergic reactions.
