Purpose

This is a multicenter, multi-arm, international, phase Ib, 3 x 3 dose-escalation study with an initial phase I followed by an expansion phase. The primary objective of the phase Ib is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), and dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of various combinations of pembrolizumab, pralatrexate and decitabine.

Detailed Description

      The peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are rare subtypes of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) with
      unique clinicopathologic features and very unfavorable prognosis. Recently it has been
      demonstrated that PTCLs are characterized by recurrent mutations in epigenetic operators and
      escape from immune surveillance.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Estimated maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)
Time Frame:1 year
Safety Issue:
Description:If 0 out of 3 patients will experience a DLT, 3 more patients will be enter at the next dose level. If 1 patient will experience a DLT, 3 more patients will be treated at the same dose level. If >1 patient will experience a DLT, then the dose escalation is stopped and this dose is declared MTD. The estimated MTD would be the highest dose at which 0/3 or 1/6 subjects experience a DLT, i.e. dose with an observed DLT rate of less than 0.33.
