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.
