This prospective study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety profiles of first-line combined gemcitabine, oxaliplatin, and Pegaspargase (P-Gemox) in newly diagnosed, nasal type, extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma.
Treatment P-Gemox dosages were as follows: days 1, 30 min intravenous infusion of 1250 mg/m2 gemcitabine; day 1, 2h intravenous infusion of 85 mg/m2 oxaliplatin; day 1, deep intramuscular injection of 2500 U/m2 PEG-ASP at three different sites. The regimen was repeated every 2 weeks for a maximum of six cycles. Stage IE/IIE patients underwent four cycles induction chemotherapy, followed by involved-field radiotherapy after got CR, PR or SD. Three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy was done by linear accelerator at 2.0 grays (Gy) per daily fraction with 5-6 weeks. The involved- field radiation (IFRT) dose was 50-56 Gy. Stage IIIE/IVE patients patients underwent at least two cycles treatments unless there was disease progression or unacceptable side effects, or withdrawal of patient consent. Primary tumor radiotherapy was recommended after they achieved CR.

Time frame: up to end of follow-up-phase (approximately 3 years)
complete remission rate
The criteria for the efficacy evaluation (overall response rate and complete remission) of the regimen is according to the following article: Cheson BD, Horning SJ, Coiffier B, et al.
