Background: Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) is almost always fatal after the failure of asparaginase. This phase II study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of tislelizumab combined with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (Tisle-GemOx) in patients with ENKTCL failing asparaginase.
Methods: Eligible patients received Tisle-GemOx as initial induction for 6-8 cycles at 21-day intervals.
