About This Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Pembrolizumab in combination with Olaparib in participants with relapsed/refractory Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma (PTCL). The study mainly aims to evaluate: * objective response rate (ORR) as per Cheson response criteria assessed by the independent central review * overall survival and progression-free survival * adverse events by CTCAE version 5.0 The administration of Pembrolizumab and Olaparib to participants will occur on Day 1 of each 3-week dosing cycle and will continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, up to 35 cycles. Treatment with Olaparib will proceed continuously from Day 1 of Cycle 1, in 3-week dosing cycles in parallel with Pembrolizumab, up to 35 cycles, unless specific withdrawal/discontinuation criteria are met. After the end of treatment, each subject will be followed for 30 days for adverse event (AE) monitoring (serious AEs \[SAEs\] will be collected for 90 days after the end of treatment or 30 days after the end of treatment if the subject initiates new anticancer therapy, whichever is earlier).

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Relapsed Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 24 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.
