About this study
This study will test whether a combination of two medicines, zilovertamab vedotin (ZV) and lenalidomide, can help people with peripheral T-cell lymphoma that has come back after treatment or has not responded to previous treatment. The combination, called "ZiVLen", is designed to provide an alternative treatment approach that may use less chemotherapy than standard regimens. Researchers will evaluate how well this treatment works in controlling the lymphoma and will also assess its safety and side effects. The study will collect research biospecimens (archival tissue, and onstudy blood and stool samples) to investigate whether there are any immune system changes in participants who's lymphoma responds to the treatment compared to those who do not. In addition, health related quality of life surveys (patient reported outcome measures [PROMS]) will be collected to better understand whether the treatment and/or trial has impacted the health related quality of life of participants in their own voice. The results of this study will help determine whether ZiVLen should be studied further in larger clinical trials.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Zilovertamab vedotin (1.75mg/kg) Q3W + Lenalidomide (15mg p.o. 14 days) | Experimental | Induction phase:
Zilovertamab vedotin (1.75mg/kg) will be administered using a 30-minute IV infusion on Day 1 of Cycle 1, and then on Day 1 of each 3-week (21-day) cycle, for up to 6 cycles. Capsules of lenalidomide (15mg) will be administered orally (p.o) on planned dosing days (14 days per cycle) for up to 6 cycles.
Participants will have FDG PET/CT scans at the start of the study, prior to induction treatment and following cycle 2 and 6. Response assessments will be undertaken according to Lugano criteria. Participants achieving an objective response will continue onto maintenance phase.
Maintenance phase:
Lenalidomide treatment (15mg p.o, 14 days of a 21 day cycle) for up to 6 additional cycles.
After finishing treatment, participants will attend follow-up visits every 3 months for up to 24 months. Receives: Biological: Zilovertamab vedotin Intravenous (IV) Infusion - 1.75 mg/kg; Drug: Lenalidomide |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Rate of complete response to up to 6 cycles of combination zilovertamab vedotin and lenalidomide
Rate of complete response to up to 6 cycles of combination zilovertamab vedotin and lenalidomide as determined by first documented disease progression per Lugano response criteria.
Measured: Up to 18 weeks.
Secondary outcomes (5)
Number of participants who experienced an adverse event (AE)
An AE is any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the investigational products, is also an AE. The number of participants who experienced an AE will be reported.
Measured: Up to 110 days after the last dose of investigational product.
Overall survival (OS)
As defined as the time from enrolment until death, due to any cause, will be reported.
Measured: Up to 33 months
Duration of response
DOR, defined as the time from the first documented evidence of CR or PR until disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, will be reported.
Measured: Up to 33 months
Progression Free Survival
PFS, defined as the time from enrolment to the first documented disease progression per Lugano response criteria as assessed by PET/CT or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first will be presented.
Measured: Up to 33 months
Change from baseline of health related quality of life
EORTC-QLQ-C30 (baseline and end of treatment) and PRO-CTCAE (baseline and prior to each cycle of treatment and end of treatment) responses will be collected from participants to examine any changes in health related quality of life.
Measured: Up to 9 months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Zilovertamab vedotin Intravenous (IV) Infusion - 1.75 mg/kg and Lenalidomide in people with Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma Refractory, run by Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute at 5 sites in Australia.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 21 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Nov 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 5 sites in Australia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Rate of complete response to up to 6 cycles of combination zilovertamab vedotin and lenalidomide (time frame: Up to 18 weeks.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Nov 2026.
