Phase II Trial Using Romidepsin after Gemcitabine, Dexamethasone, and Cisplatin Therapy in Elderly...

Romidepsin is an important therapeutic option for patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). However, the timing of romidepsin administration remains controversial. Romidepsin was launched in Japan as a consolidation therapy agent after conventional salvage chemotherapy with gemcitabine, dexamethasone, and cisplatin (GDP). GDP therapy will be administered every 3 weeks. If complete response, partial response, or stable disease is confirmed after 2-4 GDP cycles, romidepsin will be administered every 4 weeks. The primary endpoint is a 2-year progression-free survival rate. Patients participating in this study and undergoing treatment can expect results similar to or better than those of conventional therapies.
