Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma

Eligibility:

All Genders

18+ years

Phase:

PHASE1

Brief Summary

The researchers are doing this study to test the safety of combining bexarotene with TSEB radiotherapy in people who have a common form of CTCL called mycosis fungoides (MF). Bexarotene is a form of ...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Age ≥18 years
  • Pathologically confirmed cutaneous T-cell lymphoma consistent with mycosis fungoides (MF) based on biopsy done or reviewed at MSKCC
  • Stage IB or higher MF per ISCL/EORTC criteria; concurrent diagnosis of Sézary syndrome permissible. Patients who have not had prior systemic therapies and refractory/relapsed patients are eligible.
  • Baseline mSWAT score of at least 10
  • Stable topical steroids or systemic antipruritic agent (e.g. antihistamines, doxepin, GABA analogs) preceding study entry is permissible, but no new prescribed or over the counter topical or systemic anti-pruritics started post-enrollment
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2
  • Ability to provide informed consent

Exclusion

  • Any oral retinoid therapy for any indication within 3 weeks of the first dose of study drug
  • Prior TSEB (prior focal skin-directed RT acceptable)
  • Concurrent diagnosis of systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) or another non-Hodgkin lymphoma
  • Concurrent diagnosis of additional non-skin malignancy
  • Pregnancy
  • Patients unwilling to use two forms of barrier contraception while taking study medication
  • Receipt of treatment with another investigational device or drug (at present or within 2 weeks of enrollment)
  • Familial hypertriglyceridemia or other medical conditions in which use of bexarotene would be contraindicated
  • High likelihood of protocol non-compliance (in opinion of investigator)
  • Systemic steroids within two weeks of first dose of study drug (patients on systemic steroids for non-disease related conditions will be permitted per investigator discretion)
  • Prohibited concurrent medications
  • Gemfibrozil is contraindicated as may increase bexarotene concentrations
  • Bexarotene is a minor CYP3A4 substrate: avoid strong/moderate CYP3A4 inducers and inhibitors, if possible, but concomitant use is not a contraindication Bexarotene is a moderate CYP3A4 inducer: avoid concurrent administration with CYP3A4 sensitive substrates, for which minimal concentration changes may lead to therapeutic failures of the substrate (e.g. cyclosporine, tacrolimus, sirolimus, quinidine, fentanyl), if possible
