A Phase II Study of Alemtuzumab in Combination With CHOP as First-Line Treatment in Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma


Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) are more common in Asia than in Europe and United States
(17-40% vs. 5-10%). Most studies reported a poorer prognosis for PTCL compared to B-cell
non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL).

CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisolone) is currently regarded as
a standard chemotherapy regimen for patients with newly diagnosed NHL.

Alemtuzumab (Campath-1H) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets CD52, a cell
surface protein present at high density on most normal and malignant B and T
lymphocytes.Malignant T cells express particularly high numbers of CD52 cell surface markers
(approximately 500,000 molecules/lymphocytes),T-cell malignancies may thus be particularly
responsive to alemtuzumab.

As the response rate tend to be higher in patients newly diagnosed with PTCL, this study
evaluates the efficacy of alemtuzumab in combination with CHOP administered as up-front
therapy in patients newly diagnosed with PTCL in terms of response rate and overall
survival.


Inclusion Criteria:

the WHO classification:

- Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma

- Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma,T/null cell,primary systemic type

- Peripheral T-cell lymphoma,not otherwise characterized

- Newly diagnosed,age 15-65 years.

- Complete work up for baseline evaluation and measurement (Appendix B)

- Patient's free written inform consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients with a known hypersensitivity to murine proteins or to any component of
alemtuzumab.

- Patients who have received prior antilymphoma treatment with chemotherapy or
radiotherapy

- Patients with poor performance status (PS;ECOG criteria of 3-4)(Appendix C).

- Patients with history of impaired cardiac status or myocardial infarction.

- Patients with serum creatinine >= 1.8 mg/dl,bilirubin >= 1.5 times upper limit of
normal range,SGOT or SGPT >= 3 times upper limit of normal range, unless due to tumor
involvement.

- Patients with active uncontrolled infection,active non-malignant gastric or duodenal
ulcer, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus or other severe medical conditions which would
preclude aggressive cytotoxic chemotherapy.

- Active secondary malignancy.

- Pregnant or lactating women.

- Serious medical or psychiatric illness which prevent informed consent.

return,cannot be contacted).
