Brief Summary

Patients are in 2 cohorts:

Cohort 1: dexamethasone, methotrexate, ifosfamide, pegaspargase, and etoposide (modified SMILE) chemotherapy regimen alone and pembrolizumab in children, adolescents, and young adults with advanced stage NK lymphoma and leukemia Cohort 2: combining pralatrexate (PRX) (Cycles 1, 2, 4, 6) and brentuximab vedotin (BV) (Cycles 3, 5) to cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone in children, adolescent, and young adults with advanced peripheral T-cell lymphoma (non-anaplastic large cell lymphoma or non-NK lymphoma/leukemia) .

Both groups proceed to allogeneic stem cell transplant with disease response.

• Diagnosis

Newly diagnosed patients with histologically proven mature T- and NK- cell neoplasms:

COHORT 1

• Aggressive NK cell leukemia (ICD-O code 9948/3)

  • Organ Function Requirements

Adequate liver function defined as:

• Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) for age.

Adequate pulmonary function defined as:

• Patients with a history of pulmonary dysfunction must have no evidence of dyspnea at rest, no exercise intolerance due to pulmonary insufficiency, and a pulse oximetry > 92% while breathing room air unless current dysfunction is due to the lymphoma, in which case the patient is eligible.
