Brief summary: A Phase 3, randomized, 2-arm, open-label, multicenter, stratified study of soquelitinib versus physician's choice standard of care (SOC) treatment (selected single agents) in participants with relapsed/refractory (R/R) peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), follicular helper T-cell lymphomas (FHTCLs), or systemic anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (sALCL).

Detailed description: This is a Phase 3, randomized, 2-arm, open-label, multicenter, stratified study of soquelitinib, an oral interleukin-2-inducible T cell kinase (ITK) inhibitor, versus physician's choice standard of care (SOC) treatment of either belinostat or pralatrexate in participants with relapsed/refractory (R/R) peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), follicular helper T-cell lymphomas (FHTCLs), or systemic anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (sALCL). Approximately 150 participants will be randomized at a 1:1 ratio to the 2 treatment arms (soquelitinib or SOC) and will be stratified by region of the world, age, and time to relapse for the most recent prior therapy. Participants will receive study treatment for up to a maximum of 2 years, unacceptable toxicity, or disease progression, whichever is earlier. Participants randomized to receive SOC who have confirmation of progressive disease may have the opportunity to crossover to receive treatment with soquelitinib.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Adult participants ≥18 years of age on the day of signing the informed consent form.
2. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 to 2.
3. Histologically confirmed PTCL-NOS, FHTCLs or sALCL per The International Consensus Classification of Mature Lymphoid Neoplasms.
4. Progressed on, be refractory to, relapsed, or intolerant to standard therapy for their cancer. At least 1 but not more than 3 prior systemic therapies.
5. Fluorodeoxyglucose-avid disease by positron emission tomography and measurable disease of at least 1.5 cm by computed tomography, as assessed by the site radiologist.
6. Life expectancy \>12 weeks.
7. Adequate organ function as determined by:

   * Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.0×10\^9/L (1000/mm3) (without receiving granulocyte-colony stimulating factor)
   * Platelet count ≥ 100×10\^9/L (without transfusion)
   * Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL, without packed red blood cell transfusion within the last 1 week of starting study drug
   * Prothrombin time international normalized ratio and partial thromboplastin time ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN), unless participant is receiving anticoagulant therapy and prothrombin time or activated partial thromboplastin time is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants
   * Calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) according to Cockcroft-Gault formula and based on ideal body weight or 24-hour urine CrCl ≥ 50 mL/minute

8. Must have recovered from all AEs due to previous therapies to Grade ≤ 1 or baseline except for the following:

   * Grade ≤ 2 neuropathy
   * Alopecia and non-acute toxicities
   * If major received major surgery, then must have recovered adequately per the investigator from the toxicity and/or complications from the intervention prior to starting study treatment
9. Female participants of childbearing potential who are sexually active with a non-sterilized male partner must agree to use at least 1 highly effective method of contraception from the time of screening and must agree to continue using such precautions for 120 days after the last dose of study drug for participants who receive soquelitinib, or 6 months after the last dose for participants who receive either belinostat or pralatrexate.
10. Non-sterilized males who are sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential must use a condom plus spermicide from Day 1 through 120 days after the last dose of study drug.
