Nivolumab in Combination With GDP/ L-asparaginase in NK/ T-cell Lymphoma

Summary

This is a pilot study investigating the role of nivolumab, a PD-1 inhibitor, in the treatment of advanced stage or relapsed/refractory NKTL. Patients who have received PD-1 inhibitors will be excluded from this study. Patients who have a complete response or good partial response to nivolumab during initial phase will continue to be treated with nivolumab. Patients who have a partial response, stable disease, and progressive disease to nivolumab during initial phase will be treated with the combination of nivolumab and GDP/L-asparaginase.
