Ultra-low-dose Total-skin Electron Beam Radiation Therapy with Brentuximab vedotin for the Treatment of Stage I-IV Mycosis Fungoides
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.
Inclusion Criteria
- Biopsy-confirmed mycosis fungoides in stage I-IV; the presence of Sezary cells in the blood is acceptable at original diagnosis or at enrollment into the protocol, as long as the patient has current mycosis fungoides in the skin and the Sezary cells in peripheral blood are < 1000 cells/ microlitre or signs of erythroderma per treating physician’s assessment at the time of enrollment
- Patients with relapsed/refractory mycosis fungoides are eligible, including those not expressing CD 30+ disease at the time of enrollment
- Previous systemic anticancer therapy must have been discontinued prior to receiving protocol administered treatment on study
- In the case of myelosuppressive chemotherapy treatment may start once counts have recovered including absolute white blood cell (WBC) > 1000, platelets > 50K
- Topical or systemic steroids (equivalent to 10 mg/day of prednisone) may be considered if the dose of such steroids has been constant and their discontinuation may lead to rebound flare in disease, adrenal insufficiency, and/or unnecessary suffering, after discussion with the principal investigator
- 18 years of age or older
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of =< 3
- No required wash-out period for prior therapies
- Human immunodeficiency virus positive (HIV+) patients must be on stable antiretroviral treatment for 12 weeks before the first day of cycle 1 (C1D1), with CD4 count > 200 within the 7 days before C1D1
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
Exclusion Criteria
- Concurrent use of other systemic anticancer agents or treatments (including steroids unless adrenal insufficiency has been diagnosed) for mycosis fungoides or Sezary syndrome
- Grade 2 or greater neuropathy
- Severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance [CrCL] < 30 mL/min)
- Moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B or C)
- Women of reproductive potential must have a negative serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-HCG) pregnancy test within 1 week of C1D1. They should discuss contraception with the treating provider. And agree to use adequate birth control measures (oral, implanted, or barrier methods) while on study. Female patients of childbearing potential who are not abstinent and intend to be sexually active with a non sterilized male partner must use at least 1 highly effective method of contraception (Failure rate of < 1% per year when used consistently and correctly) throughout the total duration of the drug treatment and the drug washout period as determined by your physician. Non-sterilized male partners of a female patient of childbearing potential must use male condom plus spermicide throughout this period. Cessation of birth control after this point should be discussed with a responsible physician. Periodic abstinence, the rhythm method, and the withdrawal method are not acceptable methods of birth control. Female patients should also refrain from breastfeeding throughout this period. Highly effective contraceptive methods: * Combined (estrogen- and progestogen-containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation ** oral ** intravaginal ** transdermal * Progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation ** oral ** injectable * Implantable progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation b * Intrauterine device (IUD) * Intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS) * Bilateral tubal occlusion * Surgical Sterilization
- Receipt of systemic therapy for another primary malignancy (other than T-cell lymphoma). Patients with more than one type of lymphoma may be enrolled after discussion with the principal investigator
- Underlying medical conditions including unstable cardiac disease, or other serious illness that would impair the ability of patient to undergo treatment
- Any other medical history, including laboratory results, deemed by the principal investigator to be likely to interfere with patient participation in the study
- Use of strong cytochrome (CYP)3A4 inhibitors or inducers, or P-gp inhibitors, should be avoided given the potential effect on exposure to monomethyl auristatin E

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the overall response rate (ORR), to ultra-low-dose-total-skin electron beam therapy with brentuximab vedotin (ULD-TSEBT+BV) among patients with stage I-IV mycosis fungoides/Sezary syndrome.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the time to treatment failure (TTF).
II. Determine the safety of brentuximab vedotin (BV) with fractionated ultra-low-dose−total-skin electron beam therapy (ULD-TSEBT).
III. Describe the rate and grade of neuropathy associated with lower-dose BV by using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v) 5.0.
IV. Assess quality of life by using the validated Skindex-29 instrument and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT) instrument.
V. Determine the complete response rate (CRR).
VI. Determine progression-free survival (PFS).
VII. Determine overall survival (OS).
VIII. Assess the relationship between ORR and CD30 expression level.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To identify tumor and peripheral blood markers that predict response to concurrent BV with fractionated ULD-TSEBT.
II. Identification of tumor and peripheral blood markers that are predictive of response to the combination therapy.
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo ultra-low-dose total-skin electron beam radiation therapy on days 1-2 of either weeks 1, 13, 25, 37, and 49 or weeks 1, 2, 14, 26, 38, and 50. Beginning week 2 or 3, patients also receive brentuximab vedotin intravenously (IV) every 3 weeks until week 52 in the absence of disease progression and unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo medical photography, blood sample collection, and tissue biopsy throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 6-8 months and then every 6-12 months for at least 2 years.
