Objective: Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are a group of heterogeneous T-cell malignancies representing 5%–10% of aggressive lymphomas. The prognosis is poor for patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) disease, with a median overall survival of less than 6 months and no standardized treatments. We discuss the role of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) γδ inhibitor duvelisib as bridge to allotransplantation in a patient with R/R PTCL. Methods: Case report. Results: A 55-year-old woman diagnosed with relapsed nodal PTCL with T-follicular helper phenotype received PI3K γδ inhibitor duvelisib in the context of the phase II PRIMO clinical trial. After two cycles at a dose of 75 mg twice daily, the patient achieved complete response (CR), which was subsequently consolidated with human leukocyte antigen fully matched unrelated donor allotransplantation. No major toxicities were recorded during the duvelisib treatment period or during hospitalization for allotransplantation. At the latest follow-up, the patient was alive and still in CR 10 months posttransplant. Conclusions: Duvelisib should be further explored as a bridge to allotransplantation in patients with R/R PTCL, given the success and low toxicity in our patient.
