Brief summary

ENKTL is a highly aggressive NHL with a higher incidence in Asia. L-asparaginase containing chemotherapy regimens are the standard first-line treatment with apparently toxicities. In 2020 ASH, the investigators reported Sintilimab(anti-PD-1 antibody) plus Chidamide(an oral subtype-selective HDACi) yielded effective antitumor activity, durable response in patients with relapsed or refractory ENKTL(SCENT trial. Abstracts 644). The investigators next conducted a exploratory study to investigated the safety and efficacy of Sintilimab plus Chidamide(SC) for patients with newly diagnosed ENKTL(SCENT-2 trial).

There must be at least one evaluate able or measurable lesion that meets the lymphoma response to immunomodulatory therapy criteria (LYRIC) \[evaluable lesion: 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose/Positron Emission Tomography (18FDG/PET) examination showing increased lymph node or extranodal uptake (higher than liver) and PET and/or computed tomography (Computed Tomography) CT) features are consistent with lymphoma findings; lesions can be measured: nodular lesions \> 15mm or extranodal lesions \> 10mm (if the only measurable lesion has received radiotherapy in the past, there must be evidence of radiological progress after radiotherapy), and accompanied by increased 18FDG uptake). Except for this, there is no measurable increase in diffuse 18FDG uptake in the liver; 9.

Within the expected range; 8) Thyrotropin (TSH) or free thyroxine (FT4) or free triiodothyronine (FT3) were all within the normal range (+10%); 10. There was no evidence that subjects had difficulty breathing at rest, and the measured value of pulse oximetry at rest was more than 92%; 11. Participants must pass a pulmonary function test (PFT) to confirm that forced expiratory volume (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) in the first second is more than 60%, unless it is a large mediastinal mass caused by lymphoma that cannot meet this standard; carbon monoxide diffusion (DLCO), FEV1 and FVC are all above 50% of the predicted value; all PFT results must be obtained within four weeks before the first administration; 12. Women of Childbearing Potential (WOBCP) must undergo a serum pregnancy test within seven days before the first medication and the results are negative. WOBCP or men and their WOBCP partners should agree to take effective contraceptive measures from the signing of ICF until six months after the last dose of the research drug is used

Exclusion criteria

1. Invasive natural killer cell leukemia; 2. Hemophagocytic syndrome; 3. Primary central nervous system lymphoma or secondary central nervous system involvement; 4.

Begin the study on subjects requiring systemic glucocorticoid therapy or other immunosuppressive therapy for a given condition within 14 days before treatment \[allowing subjects to use local, ocular, intra-articular, intranasal and inhaled glucocorticoid therapy (with very low systemic absorption); and allowing short-term (\< 7 days) glucocorticoid prophylaxis (e.g., contrast agent overdose) Sensitivity) or for the treatment of non-autoimmune diseases (e.g. delayed hypersensitivity caused by contact allergens); 9.
