Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma (PTCL)

The aggressive nature of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), its conventional treatment resistance, and absence of specific therapies available complicate the management of PTCL. Protheragen has extensive experience with developing PTCL therapies which allows us to assist you throughout the entire process from your PTCL therapy research to its commercial use.

Introduction to Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma (PTCL)

Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is a clinically and histologically heterogeneous group of T-cell lymphomas occurring outside the thymus and bone marrow. This subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma includes entities such as cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL), angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITCL), and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). PTCL is particularly difficult to manage owing to its diversity and aggressive nature.

Pathogenesis of Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma (PTCL)

The pathogenesis of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is associated with various molecular changes, including the signaling pathways JAK-STAT and NF-κB, in addition to mutations in TET2 and DNMT3A which drives uncontrolled T-cell proliferation. Also, immune-evasion mechanisms such as PD-L1 expression facilitate immune evasion, whereas the tumor microenvironment remains crucial for PTCL progression. Addressing the biological factors behind immune dysregulation and molecular changes offers new opportunities for PTCL therapeutic development.

Therapy Development for Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma (PTCL)

Therapy Mechanism of Action Targets NCT Number Research Phase
Lenalidomide + Gemcitabine
  • Lenalidomide: Enhances T/NK cell activity.
  • Gemcitabine: Inhibits DNA synthesis by incorporating into DNA/RNA.
Cereblon/DNA/RNA NCT05105412 Phase Ib/II
HBI-8000
  • Induces histone hyperacetylation, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.
HDACs NCT02953652 Phase IIb
Chidamide
  • Promotes apoptosis and immune modulation.
HDACs NCT06550336 Phase II
Romidepsin + Pralatrexate
  • Romidepsin: Induces cell cycle arrest/apoptosis.
  • Pralatrexate: Inhibits dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), blocking DNA synthesis.
HDACs/DHFR NCT03355768 Phase I/II
Ixazomib + Romidepsin
  • Ixazomib: Blocks NF-κB signaling, induces ER stress.
  • Romidepsin: Induces cell cycle arrest/apoptosis.
Proteasome/HDACs NCT03547700 Phase I/II
