Official TitleCHEMO-T: Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine and Prednisolone (CHOP) Versus Gemcitabine, Cisplatin and Methyl Prednisolone (GEM-P) in the First Line Treatment Of T-cell Lymphoma,a Multicentre Randomised Phase II Study
Brief Summary
This is a randomised, open-label phase II study comparing GEM-P chemotherapy (experimental
arm) with CHOP (control arm) in previously untreated T-cell lymphoma. Eligible patients will
be randomised 1:1 between 4-weekly GEM-P or 3-weekly CHOP chemotherapy.
Detailed Description
Background: T-cell lymphoma is an aggressive rare subset of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL)
comprising several different subtypes of disease within this group. No standard first-line
treatment exists for T-cell lymphoma as published series are small, with heterogeneous
populations and often retrospective.

PROTOCOL SYNOPSIS Study Period: 5 years

Objectives:

Primary

• To compare the complete response rate of GEM-P with CHOP chemotherapy in the first line
treatment of patients with T - cell Lymphoma. Secondary

To investigate, between both arms:

- Rate of metabolic complete response

- Toxicity of treatment

- Overall survival (OS)

- Progression Free Survival (PFS) Exploratory

- Investigate impact of International Prognostic Index(IPI) on the outcomes response
rate, PFS and OS Study Design: A randomised multi-centre open-label phase II study
Indication: Previously untreated T-Cell lymphoma No of Participants: 186 (93 patients
in each arm) Main Eligibility Criteria

- Histologically proven T-cell lymphoma of the following subtypes:

- Peripheral T-cell lymphoma NOS

- Systemic Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)negative
cases only

- Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma

- Hepatosplenic gamma/ delta T-cell lymphoma

- Bulky Stage I, Stage II, III or IV

- No prior chemotherapy regimen

- Patients aged 18 years or over.

- WHO performance status 0,1 or 2

- Adequate organ function:

- No Central Nervous System(CNS) or leptomeningeal involvement with lymphoma

- No treatment for lymphoma within 4 weeks of commencing trial therapy

- No known HIV, Hepatitis C or active Hepatitis B viral infection

Treatment:

CHOP: cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisolone every 21 days. GEM-P:
gemcitabine, methylprednisolone, cisplatin every 28 days.

Assessment Schedule:

- Patients will be reviewed at baseline and prior to each scheduled dose of treatment for
toxicity

- Radiological tumour assessment will be done with CT scan after every 2 cycles in Arm A
and after cycle 1, 3 and 4 in Arm B

- PET/CT scan will be performed at baseline and upon completion of treatment..

- Follow up after completion of treatment will be 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 months then
annually for 5 years in total. CT scan will be performed at 3 & 12 months.

- Following disease progression patients will be followed for survival every 3 months
until death

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Previously untreated, histologically proven T-cell Lymphoma (any of the following):

- Peripheral T-cell lymphoma Not Otherwise Specified (PTCL NOS)

- Systemic Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) ALK negative cases only

measurable disease site that is at least 2 cm in longest diameter and measurable in
two perpendicular dimensions with or without corresponding Fluorodeoxyglucose(FDG)
avid lesions.

- Adequate cardiac function; formal assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction is
only required if clinically indicated (a baseline echocardiogram should be done for
patients with either hypertension, age > 60 years or history of cardiac disease)

- Adequate renal function: calculated creatinine clearance ≥50ml/minute.

- Adequate liver function: serum bilirubin ≤1.5x Upper limit of normal (ULN); Alanine
transaminase/Aspartate transaminase (ALT/AST) ≤2.5x ULN; ALP ≤3x ULN (in the absence
of liver metastases). If liver metastases are present, ALT, AST or Alkaline
phosphatase (ALP) ≤5x ULN are permitted. Isolated hyperbilirubinaemia due to
Gilbert's disease is acceptable

- Female patient of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine β-human
chorionic gonadotropin(hCG)pregnancy test at baseline.

- Written informed consent must be obtained prior to start of study treatments. Scans
and bone marrow biopsies performed within 4 weeks of commencement of therapy will be
acceptable provided they have been performed according to study requirements.

months after the last dose of study drugs.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Documented or symptomatic central nervous system involvement or leptomeningeal
disease.

- Patients with no measurable disease on the contrast enhanced CT scan at baseline.

- Any other clinically significant disease or co-morbidity which may adversely affect
the safe delivery of treatment within this trial.

- Any other malignancies diagnosed or treated within the last 5 years (other than
curatively treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin and/or in situ carcinoma of the
cervix).

- Treatment with another investigational agent within 30 days of commencing study
treatment.

- Known positive tests for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, hepatitis C
virus, acute or active hepatitis B infection.

- Patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive or father children
within one year of finishing study treatment.

- Patients with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus
