Advancements in the treatment of mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome: monoclonal antibodies, immunotherapies, and Janus kinase inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: Mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS) are forms of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) that pose significant challenges in their clinical management, particularly in refractory and advanced-stage disease. With the emergence of novel therapeutic modalities however, there are increasing opportunities to exploit the current understanding of pathophysiologic mechanisms of MF/SS for treatment. This review summarizes recent advances in the treatment of MF/SS, with a focus on monoclonal antibodies, immunotherapies, and Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, including ongoing clinical trials.

Mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome.

Project description:Mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS) are a distinct disease entity of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma with heterogenous clinical features and prognosis. MF mainly involves skin and usually shows an indolent and favorable clinical course. In patients with advanced-stage disease, extracutaneous involvement including lymph nodes, viscera, and blood, or large cell transformation may be observed. SS is a leukemic form of advanced-stage MF, characterized by generalized erythroderma. Early-stage MF can be treated with skin-directed therapy. However, patients with refractory or advanced-stage disease are associated with severe symptoms or poor prognosis, requiring systemic therapy. Recent progress in understanding the pathogenesis of MF/SS has contributed to advances in the management of these rare diseases. This review aims to describe the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment strategy of MF/SS, focusing on the recent updates in the management of these diseases.

Mycosis Fungoides and Sezary Syndrome: An Update.

Project description:Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas are a heterogeneous collection of non-Hodgkin lymphomas that arise from skin-tropic memory T lymphocytes. Among them, mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS) are the most common malignancies. Diagnosis requires the combination of clinical, pathologic, and molecular features. Significant advances have been made in understanding the genetic and epigenetic aberrations in SS and to some extent in MF. Several prognostic factors have been identified. The goal of treatment is to minimize morbidity and limit disease progression. However, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, considered for patients with advanced stages, is the only therapy with curative intent.

Mycosis Fungoides and Sezary Syndrome: Microenvironment and Cancer Progression.

Project description:Mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome are epidermotropic cutaneous lymphomas, and both of them are rare diseases. Mycosis fungoides is the most frequent primary cutaneous lymphoma. In about 25% of patients with mycosis fungoides, the disease may progress to higher stages. The pathogenesis and risk factors of progression in mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome are not yet fully understood. Previous works have investigated inter- and intrapatient tumor cell heterogeneity. Here, we overview the role of the tumor microenvironment of mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome by describing its key components and functions. Emphasis is put on the role of the microenvironment in promoting tumor growth or antitumor immune response, as well as possible therapeutic targets. We focus on recent advances in the field and point out treatment-related alterations of the microenvironment. Deciphering the tumor microenvironment may help to develop strategies that lead to long-term disease control and cure.

The utility of bexarotene in mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome.

Project description:Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is an umbrella term that encompasses a group of neoplasms that have atypical T-lymphocytes in the skin. Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common type of CTCL and Sézary syndrome (SS) is the leukemic form. Treatment for CTCL is dependent on the stage of disease and response to previous therapy. Therapy is divided into skin-directed treatment, which tends to be first line for early-stage disease, and systemic therapy, which is reserved for refractory CTCL. Bexarotene is a rexinoid and was licensed in Europe in 2002 for use in patients with advanced disease that have been refractory to a previous systemic treatment. We review the use of bexarotene as monotherapy and in combination with other treatments.

Transcriptome sequencing in Sezary syndrome identifies Sezary cell and mycosis fungoides-associated lncRNAs and novel transcripts.

Project description:Sézary syndrome (SS) is an aggressive cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) of unknown etiology in which malignant cells circulate in the peripheral blood. To identify viral elements, gene fusions, and gene expression patterns associated with this lymphoma, flow cytometry was used to obtain matched pure populations of malignant Sézary cells (SCs) versus nonmalignant CD4(+) T cells from 3 patients for whole transcriptome, paired-end sequencing with an average depth of 112 million reads per sample. Pathway analysis of differentially expressed genes identified mis-regulation of PI3K/Akt, TGF?, and NF-?B pathways as well as T-cell receptor signaling. Bioinformatic analysis did not detect either nonhuman transcripts to support a viral etiology of SS or recurrently expressed gene fusions, but it did identify 21 SC-associated annotated long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). Transcriptome assembly by multiple algorithms identified 13 differentially expressed unannotated transcripts termed Sézary cell-associated transcripts (SeCATs) that include 12 predicted lncRNAs and a novel transcript with coding potential. High-throughput sequencing targeting the 3' end of polyadenylated transcripts in archived tumors from 24 additional patients with tumor-stage CTCL confirmed the differential expression of SC-associated lncRNAs and SeCATs in CTCL. Our findings characterize the SS transcriptome and support recent reports that implicate lncRNA dysregulation in human malignancies.

Therapeutic reduction of cell-mediated immunosuppression in mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome.

Project description:Tumor progression is associated with progressive immunosuppression mediated in part by T regulatory cell(s) (Treg) and/or myeloid-derived suppressor cell(s) (MDSC). Development of strategies to reduce populations of immune cells with suppressive function in cancer patients may enable the induction or recovery of immunity against tumor cells, which may limit or reverse disease progression. With a goal of developing Treg and MDSC neutralizing strategies to treat mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SzS), we determined the association between disease stage and suppressor cell populations in patients with MF/SzS, including those responding to therapy. We found elevations in Treg populations, across Treg subtypes, in patients with SzS, and these Treg markedly suppressed proliferation of autologous CD4+CD25- responder T cells. Interestingly, while MDSC numbers were not increased in MF/SzS patients, MDSC from patients with stage IB and above produced significantly more reactive oxygen species than those from stage IA MF patients and control cohorts. Therapy with the CD25-targeting agent denileukin diftitox or IFN-α2b was associated with a reduction in Treg numbers or MDSC function, respectively. These studies identify potential mechanisms of action for these therapies and support the development of coordinated strategies targeting both Treg and MDSC activities in patients with MF/SzS.

Novel and Future Therapeutic Drugs for Advanced Mycosis Fungoides and Sezary Syndrome.

Project description:Mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS) are the most common subtypes of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. The majority of MF cases present with only patches and plaques and the lesions are usually limited to the skin. On the other hand, in some cases, patients show skin tumors or erythroderma followed by lymph node involvement and rarely visceral organ involvement. SS is a rare, aggressive cutaneous T-cell lymphoma marked by exfoliative erythroderma, lymphadenopathy, and leukemic blood involvement. Because patients with relapsed or refractory MF/SS display a poor prognosis and the current treatment options are characterized by high rates of relapse, there is unmet need for the efficient treatment. This review provides a discussion of the recent and future promising therapeutic approaches in the management of advanced MF/SS. These include mogamulizumab, brentuximab vedotin, alemtuzumab, immune checkpoint inhibitors, IPH4102 (anti-KIR3DL2 antibody), histone deacetylase inhibitors (vorinostat, romidepsin, panobinostat, belinostat, and resminostat), pralatrexate, forodesine, denileukin diftitox, duvelisib, lenalidomide, and everolimus.

Genomic analysis of mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome identifies recurrent alterations in TNFR2.

Project description:Mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome comprise the majority of cutaneous T cell lymphomas (CTCLs), disorders notable for their clinical heterogeneity that can present in skin or peripheral blood. Effective treatment options for CTCL are limited, and the genetic basis of these T cell lymphomas remains incompletely characterized. Here we report recurrent point mutations and genomic gains of TNFRSF1B, encoding the tumor necrosis factor receptor TNFR2, in 18% of patients with mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome. Expression of the recurrent TNFR2 Thr377Ile mutant in T cells leads to enhanced non-canonical NF-κB signaling that is sensitive to the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib. Using an integrative genomic approach, we additionally discovered a recurrent CTLA4-CD28 fusion, as well as mutations in downstream signaling mediators of these receptors.

PD-1 improves accurate detection of Sezary cells by flow cytometry in peripheral blood in mycosis fungoides/Sezary syndrome.

Project description:BackgroundAccurate Sezary cell detection in peripheral blood of mycosis fungoides/Sezary syndrome (MF/SS) patients by flow cytometry can be difficult due to overlapping immunophenotypes with normal T cells using standard markers. We assessed the utility of programmed death-1 (PD-1/CD279), a transmembrane protein expressed in some hematopoietic cells, for identification and quantitation of circulating Sezary cells among established markers using flow cytometry.Methods50 MF/SS and 20 control blood samples were immunophenotyped by flow cytometry. Principal component analysis (PCA) assessed contributions of antigens to separation of abnormal from normal T cell populations. PD-1 was assessed over time in blood and bone marrow of available MF/SS cases.ResultsNormal CD4+ T cells showed dim/intermediate to absent PD-1 expression. PD-1 in Sezary cells was informatively brighter (≥1/3 log) than internal normal CD4+ T cells in 39/50 (78%) cases. By PCA, PD-1 ranked 3rd behind CD7 and CD26 in population separation as a whole; it ranked in the top 3 markers in 32/50 (64%) cases and 1st in 4/50 (8%) cases when individual abnormal populations were compared to total normal CD4+ T cells. PD-1 clearly separated Sezary from normal CD4+ T cells in 15/26 (58%, 30% of total) cases with few and subtle alterations of pan-T cell antigens/CD26 and was critical in 6 (12% of total), without which identification and quantification were significantly affected or nearly impossible. PD-1 remained informative in blood/bone marrow over time in most patients.ConclusionsPD-1 significantly contributes to accurate flow cytometric Sezary cell assessment in a routine Sezary panel.

Denileukin diftitox for the treatment of CD25 low-expression mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome.

Project description:In a placebo-controlled study, denileukin diftitox (DD) was effective against cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) expressing CD25. An open-label companion study examined the efficacy and safety of DD in 36 patients with skin biopsies containing < 20% CD25 cells by immunohistochemistry staining (CD25 low expression). Patients received DD 18 μg/kg/day for 5 consecutive days every 3 weeks for up to eight courses. The primary endpoint, overall response rate, was 30.6% (95% confidence interval: 16.3, 48.1), 33.3% for stage IIA or lower disease, and 26.7% for stage IIB or greater disease. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was > 487 days, and median time to treatment failure was 68.5 days. No difference in PFS by disease stage was observed. The safety profile of DD in CD25 low-expression disease was similar to that in CD25+ disease. These findings suggest that CD25 low expression does not preclude a meaningful clinical response to DD in patients with CTCL.
