Meta-analysis compares response rates of CTCL targeted and immune therapies
A systematic review and meta-analysis of 41 studies (1660 patients) evaluated targeted and immune-based monotherapies in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, including mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome. The analysis reported pooled overall response rates ranging from 34% with pembrolizumab to 69% with brentuximab vedotin, with duration of response of 4.7 to 9.4 months and progression-free survival of 14.4 to 23.3 months across therapies; grade 3 or greater adverse event rates ranged from 15% with mogamulizumab to 26% with denileukin diftitox. The authors state that therapeutic activity varied by disease subtype and that response rates, durability, and toxicity differed across treatment cohorts.
Most relevant for: Patients with advanced mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome being considered for targeted or immune-based monotherapy.
