ABSTRACT

Extranodal natural killer/T cell lymphoma (ENKL) is a high invasive disease with poor prognosis. Since there is no consensus on standard chemotherapy, we developed an original chemotherapeutic DDGP (cisplatin, dexamethasone, gemcitabine, and pegaspargase) regimen. We retrospectively analyzed 80 patients who received DDGP chemotherapy. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS) and secondary end points were overall survival (OS), complete response rate (CRR), and overall response rate (ORR). The one-year PFS and OS rates were 86.0% and 88.6%, and the 2-year PFS and OS rates were 81.40% and 87.1%, respectively. The ORR and CRR of DDGP chemotherapy were 91.3% and 60.0%. The major adverse events were myelosuppression, digestive tract toxicities, and coagulation disorder. No treatment-related deaths were observed. Our results suggest that the DDGP regimen is a high effective and safe treatment for ENKL.
