Summary
This phase II trial studies the effect of adding duvelisib or CC-486 to the usual chemotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, etoposide, and prednisone vs. chemotherapy alone in treating patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Duvelisib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the signals that cause cancer cells to multiply. This helps to stop the spread of cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as CC-486, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Prednisone is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help reduce the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. This trial will help to determine whether adding duvelisib or CC-486 to the usual chemotherapy is better than chemotherapy alone in treating peripheral T-cell lymphoma.
