ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is designed to compare two treatments for patients with a type of cancer called Peripheral T Cell Lymphoma (PTCL), specifically those whose disease has come back or has not responded to previous treatments. The two treatments being studied are Mitoxantrone Hydrochloride Liposome Injection and Chidamide. This study aims to find out which treatment is more effective and safe for people living with relapsed or refractory PTCL.

To participate in this trial, individuals must be between 18 and 75 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of PTCL. They should have experienced a relapse or an inadequate response to at least one prior treatment. Participants will undergo regular monitoring during the trial, and those who join will need to provide consent and possibly share tissue samples for further analysis. It's important for potential participants to discuss their eligibility with their doctor, as there are specific health criteria that need to be met to ensure safety during the study. Overall, this trial could provide valuable information on new treatment options for PTCL patients.
