    the main reason that motivated the study termination was the slow recruitment of the trial.

        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. Voluntary written informed consent of the patient (both to participate in the study
             and to provide biopsy samples) obtained before any study-specific procedure.

          4. Life expectancy ≥ 3 months.

          5. Histologically confirmed diagnosis of R/R AITL (eligibility needs to be confirmed by
             central pathological review).

          6. At least a two-week washout period since the end of the last therapy (six weeks for a
             prior nitrosourea-containing regimen), recovery to grade ≤ 1 from any
             non-hematological adverse event (AE) derived from previous treatment (excluding
             alopecia).

          7. Adequate bone marrow (BM), renal, hepatic, and metabolic function (assessed ≤ 14 days
             before inclusion in the study):

               1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.0 × 109/L. Screening of ANC should be
                  independent of granulocytecolony stimulating factor (G-CSF) support for at least
                  one week and of pegylated G-CSF for at least two weeks.

               2. Platelet count ≥ 75 × 109/L.

               3. Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL. Patients may receive red blood cells (RBC) and/or
                  erythropoietin (EPO) and/or platelet transfusions in accordance with
                  institutional guidelines.

               4. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3.0 × the
                  upper limit of normal (ULN).

               5. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN.

               6. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≤ 3.0 × ULN (< 5 × ULN if isolated ALP increase, i.e.,
                  without ALT/AST or bilirubin increase).

               7. Calculated creatinine clearance (CrCL) ≥ 30 mL/minute (Cockcroft-Gault formula).

               8. Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) ≤ 2.5 × ULN.

               9. Albumin ≥ 2.5 g/dL.

          8. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) by echocardiogram (ECHO) or multiple-gated
             acquisition (MUGA) scan within normal range (according to institutional standards).

        Exclusion Criteria:

          1. Prior treatment with plitidepsin.

          2. Concomitant diseases/conditions:

               1. History or presence of angina, myocardial infarction, clinically relevant
                  valvular heart disease, uncontrolled hypertension, or congestive heart failure
                  within the previous 12 months.

               2. Symptomatic arrhythmia (excluding grade ≤ 2 anemia-related sinusal tachycardia)
                  or any arrhythmia requiring ongoing treatment, and/or prolonged grade ≥ 2 QT-QTc,
                  or presence of unstable atrial fibrillation. Patients with stable atrial
                  fibrillation on treatment are allowed provided they do not meet any other cardiac
                  or prohibited drug exclusion criterion.

               3. Active uncontrolled infection. Active hepatitis B or C virus (HBV or HCV), or
                  human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)infection.

               4. Morphological or cytological features of myelodysplasia and/or post chemotherapy
                  aplasia on bone marrow (BM) assessment.

               5. Myopathy > grade 2 or any clinical situation that causes significant and
                  persistent elevation of CPK (> 2.5 × ULN in two different determinations
                  performed one week apart).
