Mogamulizumab for the Prevention of Adult T-Cell Leukemia/Lymphoma in High-Risk Patients with HTLV-1

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial tests how well mogamulizumab works in preventing the development of adult T-cell leukemia or lymphoma (ATL) in patients who are at higher risk for ATL because they are infected with human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV-1) and because of changes seen in some of their immune system cells called T-cells. Mogamulizumab is a monoclonal antibody, that binds to CCR4 protein. Cells that express this protein could turn into ATL cancer cells; destroying these cells could delay or prevent the development of ATL. Giving mogamulizumab may may work better in preventing the development of ATL in high-risk patients with HTLV-1.
