Plain-language summary

Study Title: Phase I/II study of brentuximab vedotin and methotrexate/ L-asparaginase/ dexamethasone (B-MAD) chemotherapy in patients with newly-diagnosed Extranodal NK/T-cell Lymphoma Phase: I/II Number of Patients: 36 Study Objectives Primary * To determine the safety and optimal dose of brentuximab vedotin when use in combination with methotrexate, L-asparaginase and dexamethasone in the treatment of newly-diagnosed ENKTL patients Secondary * To evaluate the clinical efficacy of this regimen * To access the overall responses including overall response rate (ORR), disease-free survival (DSF), progression-free survival (PFS). Overview of Study Design: Open-label, multicenter, non-randomized, 3+3 dose escalation study of brentuximab vedotin in combination with fixed-dose MAD chemotherapy. The first cycle will be evaluated for the determination of the recommended phase II dose. Patients will be received the treatment according to the stage of disease as follows: * Patients with localized ENKTL (stage IE or stage IIE) will receive involved-field radiation (IRFT) with concomitant weekly intravenous Cisplatin. Three to five weeks after the completion of IFRT and cisplatin, B-MAD (Brentuximab vedotin, Methotrexate, L-asparaginase and Dexamethasone) regimen will be given every 21 days for 3 cycles. * Patients with advanced ENKTL (stage III or stag IV) will receive B-MAD every 21 days for 6 cycles. Study Population: Patients with newly-diagnosed ENKTL will be screened for enrollment. Duration of Study: 3 years

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
