Mogamulizumab and Low-Dose Total Skin Electron Beam Therapy for the Treatment of Stage IB-IV Mycosis Fungoides and Sezary Syndrome

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial investigates how well mogamulizumab and low-dose total skin electron beam therapy work in treating patients with stage IB-IV mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome. Mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome are a subtype of cutaneous T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Mogamulizumab is an antibody that binds to a protein called CCR4. CCR4 is present on cancer cells in many patients with T-cell lymphoma. Mogamulizumab targets the T-cells with CCR4 on their surface and attempts to destroy them using the patient's immune system. Total skin electron beam therapy is a common treatment for clearing the skin disease in patients with cutaneous T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Yet total skin electron beam therapy alone does not address disease beyond the skin compartment and does not provide a meaningful benefit that lasts. Combining low-dose total skin electron beam therapy upfront with mogamulizumab may result in effective skin clearing and address systemic disease in patients with cutaneous T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that may provide a more meaningful, lasting response than either therapy on its own.
