What side effects are associated with this type of intervention?

Common treatments for Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL) include systemic therapies such as monoclonal antibodies, chemotherapy, and immunomodulatory drugs. Mogamulizumab, an anti-CCR4 monoclonal antibody, is associated with side effects such as infusion reactions, skin rash, and infections. Other similar treatments, like brentuximab vedotin, can cause peripheral neuropathy, fatigue, and gastrointestinal issues. Chemotherapy agents often lead to myelosuppression, nausea, and hair loss. Immunomodulatory drugs may result in flu-like symptoms, fatigue, and increased risk of infections.

What prior FDA approvals exist?

The FDA has approved several treatments for Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL), including monoclonal antibodies and other targeted therapies. Mogamulizumab, an anti-CCR4 monoclonal antibody, is one such treatment under investigation. Other FDA-approved monoclonal antibodies for CTCL include brentuximab vedotin, which targets CD30. Additionally, the FDA has approved other therapies such as bexarotene, a retinoid, and vorinostat, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, for the treatment of CTCL. These treatments aim to target specific pathways involved in the proliferation of malignant T-cells.

What other types of research exist?

Promising novel alternatives to Mogamulizumab for CTCL patients include Brentuximab Vedotin (an anti-CD30 antibody-drug conjugate), Pembrolizumab (an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody), and Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies targeting specific antigens on CTCL cells. These therapies have shown efficacy in clinical trials and represent potential treatment options for CTCL patients in 2024.

Summary

This trial is testing a medication called mogamulizumab in adults with certain types of skin cancer that have come back or not responded to other treatments. The medication helps the immune system find and destroy cancer cells. Mogamulizumab is approved for treating various types of skin cancer.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with certain types of skin lymphoma (CTCL) who have tried at least one systemic therapy without success. It's not open to those who've had a specific cell transformation, previous mogamulizumab treatment, or an allogeneic transplant.

What is being tested?

The study tests the safety and effects of mogamulizumab given every four weeks after initial weekly doses in patients with relapsed/refractory mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS), which are subtypes of CTCL.

What are the potential side effects?

Mogamulizumab may cause side effects such as skin reactions, infusion-related symptoms, fatigue, infections due to immune system suppression, and potentially serious allergic responses.

Other Research

Mogamulizumab, an anti-CCR4 monoclonal antibody, works by targeting the CCR4 receptor on malignant T-cells, facilitating their destruction by the immune system. This mechanism is significant for Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL) patients as it represents a targeted approach, aiming to improve treatment efficacy while minimizing side effects. Such precision in targeting specific cancer cell components can lead to better outcomes and a higher quality of life for patients.
