Extracorporeal Photopheresis in Sezary Syndrome

Open Label, Single-cohort, and Multi-center Phase II Study Evaluating Tumor-specific Immunity After Extracorporeal Photopheresis in Patients With Sézary Syndrome at Single-cell Resolution


Sponsor

Oleg E. Akilov, MD, PhD

Enrollment

20 participants

Start Date

Apr 4, 2023

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The primary endpoint is to determine if ECP induces a decrease in % of tumor cells after treatment. 20 patients with Sezary Syndrome will receive ECP weekly x4, then bi-weekly for 5 months. Each patient will donate 5 samples to determine immune responses in peripheral blood. Additional clinical assessments will be a modified skin weighted assessment and flow cytometry at baseline and months 3 and 6. A CT scan will be obtained at baseline and only repeated if pathology is present at baseline. The tumor microenvironment will be studied by comparing transcriptomics of the blood samples before, 1 day after first ECP treatment, cycle 1, 1, 3 and 6 months after ECP treatment by scRNAseq (5 samples total per patient ).


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 100 Years

Inclusion Criteria5

  • Patient with an established diagnosis of Sezary syndrome (stage IVA1)
  • Patients amenable for ECP
  • The patient must have a minimum wash-out period of 3 weeks between the last dose of prior systemic therapy
  • Patients should have recovered from all adverse events related to prior therapy to ≤ grade 1
  • Signed informed consent form prior to any protocol-specific procedures.

Exclusion Criteria7

  • Visceral metastasis of lymphoma
  • Concomitant administration of radiotherapy or systemic anti-cancer therapy including but not restricted to: chemotherapy, biological agents, or immunotherapy
  • Patients with known NCI CTCAE grade 3 or higher active systemic or cutaneous viral, bacterial, or fungal infection.
  • Patients with any serious underlying medical condition that would impair their ability to receive or tolerate the planned treatment and/or comply with study protocol.
  • Patients with dementia or altered mental status that would preclude understanding and rendering of informed consent document.
  • Patients with known allergy to Methoxsalen or heparin (as part of SOC ECP procedure).
  • Patients who are pregnant. -

Interventions

DEVICEExtracorporeal photopheresis (ECP)

Extracorporeal photopheresis is a process that exposes a collection of white blood cells and plasma to a light sensitizing agent, methoxsalen, and returns that compartment to the body.

DRUGMethoxsalen Injection

Methoxsalen is a light-sensitizing sterile compound added to the collected white blood cells and plasma during ECP.
