About

Open-labeled, multicenter phase II study of VIDL (VP-16, Ifosfamide, Dexamethasone, L-asparaginase) chemotherapy followed by high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation in patients with stage III/IV extranodal NK/T-cell Lymphoma.

Full description

Extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is a rare and aggressive lymphoma subtype, but standard front-line therapy has not been established. The clinical outcome of patients (pts) with ENKTL after the treatment of conventional chemotherapy, especially pts with advanced stage, was generally poor. Therefore, high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) as a consolidation could be one of promising strategies to improve the outcome of ENKTL. However, there have been few studies reporting the survival outcome or prognostic significances of front-line ASCT in pts with ENKTL. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the outcome of patients with advanced-stage ENKTL who had undergone front-line ASCT.

- mass lesions more than 2 cm by conventional CT or more than 1 cm by spiral CT
- Skin lesions or physically detected mass more than 2 cm
Cardiac ejection fraction ≥ 45 % as measured by multiple gated acquisition scan(MUGA) or 2D echogram(ECHO) without clinically significant abnormalities
Adequate liver functions: Transaminase (AST/ALT) < 3 X upper normal value(or < 5 x upper limit of normal in the presence of NK/T lymphoma involvement of the liver)

Exclusion criteria
