Efficacy and Safety of Denileukin Diftitox-Cxdl, an Improved Purity Formulation of Denileukin Diftitox, in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma.

Purpose: Denileukin diftitox (DD)-cxdl is a fusion protein comprising diphtheria toxin fragments A and B and human interleukin-2. This phase III, multicenter, open-label, single-arm registrational trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of DD-cxdl in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL).

Patients And Methods: In the main study, which followed a dose-finding lead-in, DD-cxdl was administered intravenously daily (5 days; 9 µg/kg/d once daily) every 21 days for up to eight cycles.

Haematogenous seeding in mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome: Current evidence and clinical implications.

Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) are a heterogeneous group of diseases characterised by abnormal neoplastic T-cell growth in the skin. Mycosis fungoides (MF), the most common CTCL, manifests as erythematous skin patches and/or plaques, tumours or erythroderma. The disease may involve blood, lymph nodes and rarely viscera.

ASTCT and USCLC Clinical Practice Recommendations for Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant in Mycosis Fungoides and Sézary Syndrome.

Mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS) are the most common subtypes of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). While MF generally follows an indolent course, a subset of patients will experience progressive and/or treatment-refractory disease; Sézary syndrome is an aggressive lymphoma associated with high morbidity and mortality. Although allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (allo-HCT) is the only currently available potentially curative treatment modality for MF/SS there is no published guidance on referral criteria, transplant timing orallo-HCT approach.

Bendamustine and rituximab as frontline therapy in extranodal marginal zone lymphoma: a single-institution experience.

Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL) encompasses 70% of cases of marginal zone lymphoma. Frontline bendamustine and rituximab (BR) were derived from trials involving other indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Only one trial has evaluated frontline BR prospectively in EMZL.
