  • A Phase II Study on the Role of Gemcitabine Plus Romidepsin
    Pellegrini et al. Journal of Hematology & Oncology (2016) 9:38 DOI 10.1186/s13045-016-0266-1 RESEARCH Open Access A phase II study on the role of gemcitabine plus romidepsin (GEMRO regimen) in the treatment of relapsed/refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma patients Cinzia Pellegrini1, Anna Dodero2, Annalisa Chiappella3, Federico Monaco4, Debora Degl’Innocenti2, Flavia Salvi4, Umberto Vitolo3, Lisa Argnani1, Paolo Corradini2, Pier Luigi Zinzani1* and On behalf of the Italian Lymphoma Foundation (Fondazione Italiana Linfomi Onlus, FIL) Abstract Background: There is no consensus regarding optimal treatment for peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL), especially in relapsed or refractory cases, which have very poor prognosis and a dismal outcome, with 5-year overall survival of 30 %. Methods: A multicenter prospective phase II trial was conducted to investigate the role of the combination of gemcitabine plus romidepsin (GEMRO regimen) in relapsed/refractory PTCL, looking for a potential synergistic effect of the two drugs. GEMRO regimen contemplates an induction with romidepsin plus gemcitabine for six 28-day cycles followed by maintenance with romidepsin for patients in at least partial remission. The primary endpoint was the overall response rate (ORR); secondary endpoints were survival, duration of response, and safety of the regimen. Results: The ORR was 30 % (6/20) with 15 % (3) complete response (CR) rate. Two-year overall survival was 50 % and progression-free survival 11.2 %. Grade ≥3 adverse events were represented by thrombocytopenia (60 %), neutropenia (50 %), and anemia (20 %). Two patients are still in CR with median response duration of 18 months. The majority of non-hematological toxicities were mild and transient.
