The standard treatment for aggressive adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is multi-agent chemotherapy, but the use of more intense cytotoxic anticancer agents is becoming more difficult with the aging of patients at the time of diagnosis. As a means of overcoming this hurdle, antibody drugs, which are supposed to be less toxic, have been developed for ATL. The advent of the anti-CC chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) antibody mogamulizumab has significantly advanced ATL treatment.

Mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS) are the most common subtypes of the heterogeneous group of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL). With the expansion of the biologic treatment landscape, new treatment options have become available in recent years, most notably the C-C chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4)-directed monoclonal antibody mogamulizumab. Based on the phase III pivotal trial, mogamulizumab is recommended by the German S2k guidelines for the second-line treatment of stage IB and above SS and MF, after at least one prior systemic therapy.

Here, we investigated the clinical significance of NOTCH1 and FBXW7 alterations for adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) treatment outcomes. NOTCH1 alterations were identified in 37 (14.4%) of 257 patients, of which 33 were single nucleotide variants/insertion-deletions in the PEST domain, and 7 were in the heterodimerization or LIN-12/Notch repeats domains.
