Researchers are studying the best dose and side effects of durvalumab, a monoclonal antibody, with or without lenalidomide, a chemotherapy drug, in treating patients whose cutaneous or peripheral T cell lymphoma has returned or does not respond to treatment. This phase III randomized trial aims to find the optimal dose of lenalidomide combined with durvalumab and to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of these treatments. The study also explores biological markers that may predict response or toxicity. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. In one group, patients receive durvalumab intravenously once every 28 days for up to 13 cycles, unless the disease progresses or unacceptable side effects occur. In the other group, patients receive the same durvalumab treatment combined with oral lenalidomide daily for 21 days of each 28-day cycle, also up to 13 cycles under similar conditions. After completing the treatment phase, patients are followed for up to 12 months to monitor their health and response. During the study, participants undergo various tests and evaluations including response assessments by standard lymphoma criteria, toxicity monitoring, and quality-of-life measurements such as reduction in itching for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Researchers collect laboratory samples and monitor immune cells to understand treatment effects. Safety is closely tracked for up to 90 days after treatment ends. Overall survival and event-free survival are also measured, with total participation lasting over a year from treatment start through follow-up.

This table compares participation in this trial with other options available for this condition. The information is drawn from published research and the trial’s study details and is provided for educational purposes only.
| Factors | Durvalumab alone | Durvalumab plus lenalidomide | Guideline‑recommended systemic therapies |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | Single‑agent durvalumab (anti‑PD‑L1) given intravenously as investigational therapy | Combination of durvalumab intravenous plus lenalidomide oral as investigational regimen | Systemic agents such as brentuximab vedotin, interferon‑alpha, or other immunomodulatory drugs recommended for relapsed/refractory CTCL |
| Role in trial | Control investigational arm | Experimental combination investigational arm | Reflects current non‑trial care provided outside this study |
| Primary use | Investigational immune checkpoint inhibition targeting PD‑L1 in r/r CTCL/PTCL | Investigational dual immunotherapy combining PD‑L1 inhibition and immunomodulation | Established systemic treatments used routinely in relapsed/refractory CTCL |
| How it is given or performed | Durvalumab is administered intravenously | Durvalumab given IV plus oral lenalidomide | Varies by agent; for example, brentuximab vedotin is IV and interferon‑alpha is typically subcutaneous |
| Evidence status | Effectiveness to be evaluated in this randomized study; early phase data suggest potential benefit of durvalumab in CTCL | Combination is under evaluation; early evidence supports enhanced anti‑tumor immunity with this approach | Systemic therapies like brentuximab vedotin and interferon‑alpha have established use and supportive efficacy data in relapsed/refractory CTCL |
| Important risks | Safety profile not yet established in CTCL setting | Risks of combining immune checkpoint inhibition and immunomodulation not yet defined | Known toxicities vary by agent; brentuximab vedotin may cause neuropathy and interferon‑alpha flu‑like symptoms |
| Important limitations | No monotherapy durability data yet; trial includes heterogeneous CTCL and PTCL subtypes | Safety and efficacy of combination unproven; added complexity of dual therapy | Evidence varies by agent; not all options work for every subtype and side effects may limit use |
