Sintilimab, Chidamide, and Azacitidine for Untreated Stage I-II Extranodal NK/T-Cell Lymphoma

This is an open-label, single-arm, multi-center Phase II clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of a novel sequential regimen as first-line therapy for treatment-naïve patients with Extranodal NK/T-cell Lymphoma (ENKTL). The study consists of a Screening Phase, a Safety Lead-in Phase, and a Treatment Phase. During the Safety Lead-in Phase, 6 patients will be enrolled to receive a fixed dose of Sintilimab and Chidamide combined with Azacitidine to verify the dose (testing 100mg/d on days 1-3 versus days 1-5). Following the lead-in, all subjects will undergo a 2-cycle Immunotherapy Induction Phase with the SCA regimen (Sintilimab, Chidamide, and Azacitidine). Subsequently, treatment will be stratified based on response: patients achieving Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) will receive 4 additional cycles of SCA consolidation, while those with Stable Disease (SD) or Progressive Disease (PD) will switch to 4 cycles of P-GemOx chemotherapy. Upon completion of systemic therapy, all patients will undergo consolidative involved-field radiotherapy (≥50Gy).

Efficacy of Non-weight Based, Low Dose Dex-Dex Adjuncts in Prolonging Peripheral Nerve Blocks

The goal of this clinical study is to improve upon the standard practice of utilizing nerve blocks to enhance the satisfaction of patients undergoing shoulder, or foot and ankle surgery regarding their quality of pain control, the duration of their nerve blocks, as well as the avoidance of opioid medications and subsequently their undesirable side effects. The researchers hypothesize that dexmedetomidine and dexamethasone (Dex-Dex) will work synergistically as adjuncts in a low, non-weight based formula. This would allow the investigators to improve patient satisfaction by providing them with a superior means of pain control that is longer in duration with a decreased probability of unwanted side effects. The proposed clinical study will be a prospective, randomized control trial.
