Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • 1. Male or Female
  • ≥ 18 years of age
  • Documentation of diagnosis as evidenced by one or more clinical features consistent with Mycosis Fungoides cutaneous T-Cell lymphoma
  • Written informed consent obtained from subject or subject's legal representative and ability for subject to comply with requirements of the study
  • Skin biopsy specimen of representative lesion obtained at screening of study and deemed diagnostic of Mycosis Fungoides by principal investigator
  • Eligible, in the opinion of the investigator, for low dose TSEBT over the course of two weeks.
  • Availability of subject to be observed for up to 18 months post-screening evaluation.
  • Life Expectancy greater than 6 months

Who cannot join

  • Pregnant or breast-feeding females
  • Presence of a condition or abnormality that in the opinion of the investigator would compromise the safety of the patient or the quality of the data
  • Patients diagnosed with Sezary Syndrome. Sezary Syndrome is equivalent to mycosis fungoides that develops to Stage IVA/B with B2 (high blood tumor burden) involvement, and as such requires a more aggressive treatment regimen than Valchlor or TSEBT.
  • Patients who do not have their disease downgrade to stage IA or IB 30 days following low dose TSEBT.
  • Underlying medical condition including unstable cardiac disease, or other serious illness that would impair the ability of the patient to undergo treatment
  • Minimum 3 weeks since prior systematic treatment or phototherapy
  • Decisionally-impaired individuals, prisoners, and vulnerable populations

About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Low Dose Total Skin Electron Beam Treatment (TSEBT) Followed by Maintenance Valchlor for Patients With Mycosis Fungoides

The clinical efficacy of mechlorethamine gel (Valchlor) as a maintenance therapy after low dose total skin electron beam therapy (TSEBT) for the treatment mycosis fungoides cutaneous T-cell lymphoma will be evaluated in this study. Subjects will be treated with low dose TSEBT (12 Gy total) over a period of two weeks. After a 30 day observation period and confirmation that their disease stage has been downgraded to IA or IB, subjects will use Valchlor as a maintenance therapy over the course of one year. The efficacy of Valchlor as a maintenance drug will be followed clinically through Modified Severity Weight Assessment Tool (mSWAT) and percent body surface area measurements (%BSA). Furthermore, subjects will be followed histopathologically through skin biopsies performed at the screening visit, immediately after observation period, one month after the start of the maintenance period, and twelve months after the start of the maintenance period (4 biopsies total).

Being tested
Total skin electron beam therapy (TSEBT), mechlorethamine gel 0.016%

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Total skin electron beam therapy (TSEBT)Radiation

    TSEBT will be given in 6 fractions at 2 Gy per fraction every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday over the course of 2 weeks (total TSEBT dosage is 12 Gy). Supplements up to 8 Gy will routinely be applied to the perineum and soles as well as any other "shadowed" sites involved by disease, such as the inframammary regions, scalp, etc. Discrete tumors may receive additional "boost" up to 8 Gy.

  • mechlorethamine gel 0.016%Drug

    Also called Valchlor

    The maintenance period for this study includes one year of weekly mechlorethamine gel 0.016%. This period will not begin until the observation period (30 days) has been completed. During the first week of the maintenance period, patients will apply mechlorethamine gel to the entire body surface daily. After the first week, patients will apply mechlorethamine gel to entire body surface one time per week for the rest of the maintenance period.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
TSEBT & mechlorethamine gel 0.016%ExperimentalAll subjects enrolled in the study will receive two weeks of low dose total skin electron beam therapy (TSEBT) (12 Gy total divided into 6 fractions delivered over two weeks) followed by a weekly maintenance mechlorethamine gel 0.016% regimen for one year. The initiation of the mechlorethamine gel regimen is dependent on their disease stage downgrading to IA and IB following low dose TSEBT.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Time to progression

    To assess the time to progression of patients treated with total skin electron beam therapy (TSEBT) followed by the year-long maintenance Valchlor regimen.

    Measured: One year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Response rate (CR and PR)

    To assess the response rate (CR and PR) of patients treated with total skin electron beam therapy (TSEBT) followed by the year-long maintenance Valchlor regimen. . CR and PR are defined as the standard oncology criteria for complete response (100% reduction from the baseline score) and partial response (50% to <100% reduction from the baseline score).

    Measured: One year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Total skin electron beam therapy (TSEBT) and mechlorethamine gel 0.016% in people with Mycosis Fungoides and Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma, run by Thomas Jefferson University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Kelly Knoblauch ((215) 955-9295, kelly.knoblauch@jefferson.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time to progression (time frame: One year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Aug 2016.
