Trial summary

Primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) are a form of skin cancer that is derived from immune cells. The most common form of CTCL is mycosis fungoides (MF). While initially confined to the skin, MF may spread to lymph nodes, blood or inner organs, resulting in an overall poor prognosis for the patient. Read more about this study

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 to 100 years
  • All sexes
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: MF patients need prior histopathological verification of their disease. Eczema and psoriasis patients will be diagnosed clinically and, if necessary, on a histopathological basis.

Who may be able to join

  • Clinical and/or histopathological diagnosis of MF, eczema or psoriasis
  • Healthy control subjects without personal history of MF, eczema or psoriasis

Who cannot join

  • Ongoing skin-targeted treatment (Wash out times: 2 weeks for topical, and 4 weeks for systemic treatments)
  • Ongoing other treatment that might, in the opinion of the investigator, influence proteomic features of the samples to be acquired

About this study

Primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) are a form of skin cancer that is derived from immune cells. The most common form of CTCL is mycosis fungoides (MF). While initially confined to the skin, MF may spread to lymph nodes, blood or inner organs, resulting in an overall poor prognosis for the patient. Thus, being a potentially lethal disease, an early and correct diagnosis of MF has very important implications for the patient. However, diagnosis of early MF is often difficult, as it usually shows a close resemblance to benign inflammatory conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Strikingly, it takes an average of 3-6 (!) years from the appearance of the first skin lesions until a diagnosis of MF can be made. For this reason, a test to distinguishing early MF from benign inflammatory conditions is urgently mandated. By using skin suction blister fluid as well as skin biopsies from patients with MF, eczema and psoriasis, the investigators want to develop a classifier system that can distinguish early MF from benign inflammatory skin diseases.

What participants receive

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

  • Skin suction blistering and skin biopsiesDiagnostic test

    Skin suction blistering and skin biopsies will be used for the identification of potential proteomic biomarkers that can distinguish MF from eczema, psoriasis and healthy control skin.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of CTCL/ Mycosis Fungoides, run by Medical University of Vienna at 1 site in Austria.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 5 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Austria. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

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 Patrick M Brunner, MD, MSc (+43140400 ext. 77020, patrick.brunner@meduniwien.ac.at), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proteomic signature of MF in comparison to eczema, psoriasis, and healthy control skin (time frame: At baseline). 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 5 Apr 2022.
