Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma

A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial of Apatinib Combined With CHOP Regimen in the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Apatinib Combined With CHOP Regimen(cyclophosphamide, vincristine, epirubicin, prednisone in the treatment of newly diagnosed peripheral T-cell lymphoma.

Patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma usually have a bad prognosis. These patients cannot be treated successfully with the conventional CHOP regimen. Apatinib is a small-molecule multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor. The investigators have been proceeding this trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Apatinib Combined With CHOP Regimen(cyclophosphamide, vincristine, epirubicin, prednisone in the treatment of newly diagnosed peripheral T-cell lymphoma.
