Investigating New Treatments for Rare Skin Lymphomas - News Center
Briefly

"In the study, 69 patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, including the most common subtypes mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome, were given DD-cxdl for five consecutive days every 21 days. Roughly 36 percent of patients responded to the treatment, with more than 8 percent achieving a complete response. Study participants showed a median duration of response of more than eight months, and over 80 percent experienced a decrease in skin tumor burden."
"Currently, most treatments for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma do not produce long-lasting benefits. Many of these patients are middle-aged, so their life expectancy otherwise would be 20 to 30 years, but the duration of response for most treatments is only 12 to 14 months, leading to relapses and ultimately death."
