This open-label, single arm study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1 antibody in combination with pegaspargase in treatment of newly diagnosed advanced stage NK/T-cell lymphoma.
Extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL), nasal type, is a distinct and heterogeneous histopathologic subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), accounting for 5%\~10%. The frequency of ENKTL among NHL patients is significantly higher in Asia than in Western countries, with poor prognosis. L-asparaginase-based chemotherapy has improved the survival for these patients with advanced stage. However, there is no standard of care for those patients with advanced stage. Anti-PD-1 antibody has been proven its efficacy in relapsed or refractory NK/T cell lymphoma. This open-label, single arm study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of PD-1 antibody in combination with pegaspargase in treatment of newly diagnosed advanced stage NK/T-cell lymphoma.

RECRUITINGComplete response rate
Percentage of participants with complete response was determined on the basis of investigator assessments according to 2014 Lugano criteria and 2016 Refinement of the Lugano Classification lymphoma response criteria in the era of immunomodulatory therapy.
Time frame: At the end of Cycle 6 (each cycle is 21 days)
Overall response rate
Percentage of participants with overall response was determined on the basis of investigator assessments according to 2014 Lugano criteria and 2016 Refinement of the Lugano Classification lymphoma response criteria in the era of immunomodulatory therapy.
Time frame: At the end of Cycle 6 (each cycle is 21 days)
Progression free survival
Progression-free survival was defined as the time from the date of diagnosis until the date of the first documented day of disease progression or relapse, using 2014 Lugano criteria2016 Refinement of the Lugano Classification lymphoma response criteria in the era of immunomodulatory therapy, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first.
Time frame: Baseline up to data cut-off (up to approximately 4 years)
Overall survival
Overall survival in the overall study population was defined as the time from the date of diagnosis to the date of death from any cause. Reported is the percentage of participants with event.
Time frame: Baseline up to data cut-off (up to approximately 4 years)
Duration of response
Time from first occurrence of documented CR or PR to disease progression/relapse, or death from any cause for participants with a response of CR or PR. Tumor assessments were performed with PET-CT.
Time frame: Baseline up to data cut-off (up to approximately 4 years)

Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v4.0
An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.
Time frame: Baseline up to data cut-off (up to approximately 4 years)
Change From Baseline in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) Domain Scores
The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a health-related quality of life questionnaire. A higher score indicates better quality of life, with changes of 5 to 10 points considered to be a minimally important difference to participants.
Time frame: Baseline (pre-dose [Hour 0] on Cycle1 Day1), Cycle3 Day 1, end of treatment (up to Month 6), every 3 months 1st year, every 6 months 2nd year, and 12 months thereafter up to data cut-off, up to approximately 4 years (cycle length = 21 days)
Treatment related mortality
Percentage of death related with treatment on the basis of investigator assessments
Time frame: Baseline up to data cut-off (up to approximately 4 years)
