Utility of Low-Dose Duvelisib for Advanced Mycosis Fungoides: A Single-Institution Study.

ABSTRACT: Duvelisib, a small-molecule phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-δ,γ inhibitor, has shown efficacy for mycosis fungoides (MF) at dosage ranges of 25-100 mg twice daily (BID), but with significant toxicity. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients with advanced MF treated with low-dose duvelisib (15 mg every other day to BID), in an effort to minimize toxicity. A total of 7 patients were included. The overall response rate on duvelisib was 71%, with the remaining patients maintaining stable disease. Mean modified Severity Weighted Assessment Tool score improved by 57.4% and mean percent body surface area involved improved by 52%. Median progression-free survival was 10.3 months. Adverse events occurred in 4 of 7 patients, the most common being fatigue (2/7; grades 1-2), nausea (2/7; grades 1-2), and transaminitis (2/7; grade 3). Overall, low-dose duvelisib showed efficacy for advanced MF with less toxicity, providing a rationale for its use as monotherapy and potentially combinatorial therapy.

Project description:ImportancePsoralen-UV-A (PUVA) photochemotherapy is standard first-line treatment for skin-limited, early-stage mycosis fungoides capable of producing high initial complete response (CR) rates. However, much remains unknown about PUVA's therapeutic mechanisms, optimal duration and frequency of treatment, dose escalation, or use as maintenance therapy.ObjectivesTo evaluate low-dose, low-frequency PUVA, and whether maintenance treatment extends disease-free remission in patients with mycosis fungoides.Design, setting, and participantsThis prospective randomized clinical trial with defined PUVA dosing regimen was carried out in 5 centers (Graz, Vienna, Hietzing, Innsbruck, and Salzburg) across Austria. Patients with stage IA to IIA mycosis fungoides (n = 27) were enrolled in the study beginning March 13, 2013, with the last patient enrolled March 21, 2016. These patients were treated with oral 8-methoxypsoralen followed by UV-A exposure 2 times per week for 12 to 24 weeks until CR. Patients with CR were randomized to PUVA maintenance for 9 months (14 total exposures) or no maintenance. The study was conducted from April 27, 2012, to July 27, 2018. Data analysis of the primary end point was of the intention-to-treat population, and the secondary end point analysis was of the evaluable population.Main outcomes and measuresEfficacy of the PUVA regimen was determined by the rate of CR as defined by a modified severity-weighted assessment tool (mSWAT) score reduction to 0. Levels of proinflammatory molecules in serum and histologic features and percentage of clonal T cells in skin were assessed to search for biomarkers of clinical response.ResultsIn 27 patients with mycosis fungoides, 19 (70%) were male with mean (range) age 61 (30-80) years. At baseline, patients with CR had a mean (range) mSWAT score of 18.6 (1-66) compared with 16.8 (3-46) in patients with partial response. The 12- to 24-week PUVA induction regimen reduced the mSWAT score in all patients and led to CR in 19 (70%) of 27 patients and a low mean cumulative UV-A dose of 78.5 J/cm2. The subsequent standardized 9-month PUVA maintenance phase prolonged median (range) disease-free remission from 4 (1-20) months to 15 (1-54) months (P = .02). High density of histologic infiltrate and high percentage of clonal TCR sequences in skin biopsy specimens at baseline were inversely associated with therapeutic response. No severe adverse effects were seen during the PUVA induction or maintenance phase.Conclusions and relevanceThis proof-of-concept study identifies potential biomarkers for therapeutic response to PUVA in mycosis fungoides; it also demonstrates that low-dose, low-frequency PUVA appears to be highly effective, and maintenance treatment may extend disease-free remission.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01686594.
