Patients with peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL) who achieved tumor response with first-line standard therapy were at high risk of disease relapse. We explored golidocitinib (150 mg once daily) as maintenance therapy for this group of patients (JACKPOT26, NCT06511869). This study included two cohorts: patients achieving a complete response (Cohort 1 (CR), N = 30) and a partial response (Cohort 2 (PR), N = 18) during induction stage. All enrolled patients were transplant ineligible or did not have a transplant plan. All dosed patients were included in the efficacy and safety analysis. In Cohort 1, the 24-month disease free survival (DFS) rate was 74.2% with golidocitinib treatment. In nodal subtypes (AITL, NOS, ALK- ALCL), the 24-month DFS rate was 62.7%. In Cohort 2, median progression free survival (PFS) was 17.4 months, and 24-month PFS rate was 48.6%. Nine out of 18 patients with initial PR achieved complete response, leading to a complete response rate of 50.0%, and median duration of response of 23.9 months. The most common >= grade 3 treatment-related treatment-emergent adverse events (TRAEs) were hematological adverse events in nature, including neutrophil count decreased (47.9%), white blood cell count decreased (31.3%), lymphocyte count decreased (14.6%) and leukopenia (12.5%). The majority of these TRAEs were reversible and clinically manageable. TRAEs leading to treatment interruption and discontinuation occurred in 60.4% and 10% of patients, respectively. No TRAEs leading to fatal outcomes were reported. This study suggests the potential of golidocitinib as maintenance therapy for patients with PTCL.
