European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC)

Status and phase: Terminated; Phase 2

Conditions: Early Stage Mycosis Fungoides Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma (MF-CTCL) (Stage IA-IB)

Treatments: Drug: chlormethine gel

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: NETWORK

Identifiers

Details and patient eligibility

About

Adult patients with early stage MF-CTCL (stage IA-IB) will be eligible for this study. A total of 100 early stage MF-CTCL patients diagnosed in the past year will be enrolled.

Treatment with CL gel will be applied once daily to all skin areas affected by MF-CTCL and, for 8 weeks, one selected skin area unaffected by MF-CTCL (0.5% body surface area) until treatment response (complete response), study treatment duration completed (56 weeks), progression, or another withdrawal criterion is met.

Depending on the type of skin drug-related reaction (if any) occurring after application of CL gel, this study will categorize patients into three different groups corresponding to three different treatment patterns:

• Group A: Patients with no skin drug reaction with CL gel application
• Group B: Patients developing a skin drug reaction of any grade with CL gel application, not due to allergic reaction to CL gel, will continue treatment at reduced application frequency
• Group C: Patients from Group B unable to tolerate reduced CL gel application frequency will apply a potent topical steroid twice daily in addition to CL gel applied every other day

Enrollment: 2 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Age ≥ 18
• ECOG/WHO performance status 0-2

Exclusion criteria

• Previous treatment with CL gel
• Concurrent or planned local or systemic anti-CTCL therapy
• Prior treatment with antihistamines or narrow band UV-B or PUVA therapy one week before enrolment, or systemic corticosteroids or radiotherapy in the last 4 weeks before enrolment
• Prior treatment with topical steroids in the patch test area (upper back) one week before enrolment
