Dermatologic Events Associated with the Anti-CCR4 Antibody Mogamulizumab: Characterization and Management.

ABSTRACT: The CCR4-directed monoclonal antibody mogamulizumab has been shown to significantly improve progression-free survival and overall response rate compared with vorinostat in adults with relapsed/refractory mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS). One of the most common adverse events seen with mogamulizumab in MF/SS patients is rash. Because of the protean nature of MF/SS and the variable clinical and histopathological features of mogamulizumab-associated rash, healthcare providers may have difficulty distinguishing rash from disease, and may not be aware of appropriate treatment strategies for this generally manageable adverse event. The objective of this report was to combine results from published literature with experiences and recommendations from multiple investigators and institutions into clinical best practice recommendations to assist healthcare providers in identifying and managing mogamulizumab-associated rash. Optimal management, which includes biopsy confirmation and steroid treatment, requires a multidisciplinary approach among oncology, dermatology, and pathology practitioners. INFOGRAPHIC.

Project description:BackgroundSézary syndrome (SS) and mycosis fungoides (MF), 2 types of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, cause significant morbidity and adversely affect patients' quality of life (QoL). The present study assessed the QoL measurement changes in patients receiving mogamulizumab versus vorinostat.Patients and methodsA multicenter phase III trial was conducted of patients with stage IB-IV MF/SS with ≥ 1 failed systemic therapy. The QoL measures included Skindex-29 and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General. The symptoms, function, and QoL subdomains were longitudinally modeled using mixed models with prespecified covariates. Meaningful change thresholds (MCTs) were defined using distribution-based methods. The categorical changes by group over time and the time to clinically meaningful worsening were analyzed.ResultsOf the 372 randomized patients, mogamulizumab demonstrated improvement in Skindex-29 symptoms (cycles 3, 5, and 7; P < .05) and functional (cycles 3 and 5; P < .05) scales. A significantly greater proportion of mogamulizumab-treated patients improved by MCTs or more from baseline in the Skindex-29 symptoms domain (cycles 3, 5, 7, and 11) and functioning domain (cycle 5). Significant differences in the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General physical well-being (cycles 1, 3, and 5; P < .05) were observed in favor of mogamulizumab and a greater proportion of patients had declined by MCTs or more at cycles 1, 3, 5, and 7 with vorinostat treatment. The median time to symptom worsening using Skindex-29 was 27.4 months for mogamulizumab versus 6.6 months for vorinostat. In the patients with SS, the time to worsening favored mogamulizumab (P < .005) for all Skindex-29 domains. The time to worsening was similar for the 2 MF treatment arms.ConclusionThe symptoms, function, and overall QoL of patients with MF/SS favored mogamulizumab over vorinostat across all time points. Patients with the greatest symptom burden and functional impairment derived the most QoL benefit from mogamulizumab.

Project description:Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) tyrosine kinases, which are expressed on the cell membrane, are involved in a wide range of biological functions such as cell proliferation, survival, migration, and differentiation. The identification of FGFR fusions and other alterations in a wide range of solid tumors, including cholangiocarcinoma and bladder cancer, has resulted in the development of several selective FGFR inhibitors for use in these indications, for example, infigratinib, erdafitinib, derazantinib, pemigatinib, and futibatinib. In addition to the typical adverse events associated with tyrosine kinases, the FGFR inhibitors appear to give rise to a number of adverse events affecting the skin. Here we describe these skin events, which include the more common nail adverse events (e.g., onycholysis), palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome, and stomatitis, as well as less common reactions such as calciphylaxis. This review aims to provide oncologists with an understanding of these dermatologic events and proposes guidelines for the management of treatment-emergent dermatologic adverse events. Awareness of possible adverse events associated with specific drugs should allow physicians to educate patients as to what to expect and implement effective management plans at the earliest possible opportunity, thereby preventing premature discontinuation while maintaining patient quality of life. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Identification of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) aberrations in cholangiocarcinoma and bladder cancer led to development of selective FGFR inhibitors for these indications, based on clinical benefit and safety profiles. The most frequent adverse events (AEs) include those affecting skin, hair, and nails, a unique class effect of these agents. These are usually mild to moderate in severity. This work reviewed skin AEs reported with FGFR inhibitors and provides management guidelines for physicians, aiming to increase awareness of skin events and provide effective treatment strategies. Early intervention and effective management may improve treatment adherence, optimize outcomes, and improve quality of life.
