Pralatrexate vs Observation Following CHOP-based Chemotherapy in Undiagnosed Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma Patients

This was an international, multi-center, randomized, Phase 3, open-label study of sequential pralatrexate versus observation in patients with previously undiagnosed PTCL who have achieved an objective response following initial treatment with CHOP-based chemotherapy. Upon documentation of completion of an objective response following at least 6 cycles of a designated CHOP-based chemotherapy confirmation of histopathology by independent review, and confirmation that all eligibility criteria were met, patients were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to either pralatrexate or observation, according to a permuted block design with stratification factor of Tumor Response per Investigator at completion of CHOP-based therapy (Complete Response \[CR\] vs Partial Response \[PR\]). All patients who receive at least 1 dose of pralatrexate were followed for safety through 35 (± 5) days after their last dose of pralatrexate or until all treatment-related AEs have resolved or returned to baseline/Grade 1, whichever is longer, or until it was determined that the outcome does not change with further follow-up.
