Summary
This trial is testing a new drug to treat T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer of the immune system.
Who is the study for?
Adults with specific types of T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who have not responded to at least two previous treatments can join. They should be relatively healthy, able to perform daily activities, and have a life expectancy over 6 months. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, HIV patients on certain therapies, and those with active hepatitis or CNS disease cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing ST-001 nanoFenretinide, a new form of the drug fenretinide delivered in tiny particles designed for treating T-cell NHL. Participants will receive this treatment to see how well it works against their cancer.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions similar to other retinoids such as dry skin, mouth and eyes; headaches; bone pain; nausea and vomiting; liver function changes; sensitivity to sunlight; and blood lipid abnormalities.
