Ultra-low-dose Total-skin Electron Beam Radiation Therapy with Brentuximab vedotin for the Treatment of Stage I-IV Mycosis Fungoides

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial tests whether ultra-low-dose total-skin electron beam therapy with brentuximab vedotin work in treating patients with mycosis fungoides. Total skin electron beam radiation is a type of radiation therapy that targets the entire skin. It uses high energy rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Brentuximab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, brentuximab, linked to a toxic agent called vedotin. Brentuximab attaches to CD30 positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. Giving total skin electron beam radiation in combination with brentuximab vedotin may be more effective in treating mycosis fungoides.
