Non Hodgkin Lymphoma Clinical Trial

Mogamulizumab and Extracorporeal Photopheresis for the Treatment of Sezary Syndrome or Mycosis Fungoides

Summary

This phase Ib/II trial investigates the side effects of mogamulizumab and extracorporeal photopheresis and to see how well they work in treating patients with Sezary syndrome or mycosis fungoides. Mogamulizumab (a humanized antibody) binds to CCR4, a protein often found in high amounts on T-cell lymphoma cells. Binding to these cells may slow their growth, as well as mark them for attack by the immune system. Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is a standard treatment for cancers that affects the skin, and may work by killing some lymphoma cells directly and by boosting the body's immune response against other lymphoma cells. Giving mogamulizumab together with ECP may work better in treating patients with Sezary syndrome or mycosis fungoides compared to either therapy alone.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination of mogamulizumab and ECP in Sezary syndrome (SS) and erythrodermic mycosis fungoides (MF).

II. To determine the efficacy of the combination of mogamulizumab and extra-corporeal photopheresis in SS and erythrodermic MF.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To assess response by disease compartment, time to response, duration of response, progression free survival (PFS), and change in quality of life in patients with Sezary syndrome and erythrodermic MF treated with mogamulizumab and ECP.

TERTIARY/EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:

I. To assess biomarkers of response and changes in immunologic response on serial blood samples and peripheral blood flow cytometry.

OUTLINE:

INDUCTION (WEEKS 1-7): Patients receive mogamulizumab intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, 22, and 36 in the absence of disease progression progression and unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo extracorporeal photopheresis on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, and 36 in the absence of disease progression and unacceptable toxicity.

TREATMENT (CYCLES 1-12): Patients receive mogamulizumab IV over 60 minutes on days 1 and 15, and undergo extracorporeal photopheresis on days 1 and 15 of cycles 1-6, then day 1 of subsequent cycles. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 cycles in the absence of disease progression and unacceptable toxicity.

MAINTENANCE (CYCLES 13+): Patients with clinical benefit may continue extracorporeal photopheresis on day 1. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression and unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 90 days, then every 3 months for 3 years.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 2 (Karnofsky >= 60%)

Systemic therapy includes oral retinoids, interferon, pralatrexate, methotrexate, vorinostat, romidepsin, single or multi-agent chemotherapy or other oral, IV or subcutaneous treatments used to treat systemic disease
A line of therapy is defined as any therapy or group of therapies that was started or changed for lack of response, disease progression, or intolerance

A minimum washout period of 4 weeks after previous CTCL therapy is recommended prior to the first dose of combination therapy
Willing and able to comply with all aspects of the protocol
Provide voluntary written informed consent prior to any study specific screening procedures
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 500/mcL (within 16 days of cycle 1 day 1)

Female of child-bearing potential (FCBP) must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test prior to starting therapy: documented by negative beta-human chorionic gonadotropin [beta-hCG] test with a minimum sensitivity of 25 IU/L or equivalent units of beta-hCG. A separate baseline assessment is required if a negative screening pregnancy test was obtained more than 72 hours before the first dose of study drug
FCBP and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation and 30 Days after completion. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 30 days after completion of study drug administration. A female of childbearing potential (FCBP) is a sexually mature woman who: 1) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or 2) has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months
