Abstract

Abstract Mogamulizumab is being increasingly prescribed for the treatment of T-cell lymphomas (MF/SS/ATLL). We conducted a retrospective cohort study to identify muscular immune-related adverse events (irAEs) associated with mogamulizumab in patients with T-cell lymphoma followed at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute from January 2015 to June 2022. We identified 5 cases of mogamulizumab-associated myositis and/or myocarditis (MAM/Mc), 2 additionally affected by myasthenia gravis, among 42 patients with T-cell lymphoma. Three cases experienced ­mogamulizumab-associated rash (MAR) prior to developing MAM/Mc. The incidence (n = 5/42, 11.9%) of muscular mogamulizumab-associated irAEs may be higher than has been previously reported in clinical trials and may be of late onset (a median of 5 cycles and as late as 100 days from the last infusion). We highlight the utility of IVIG, together with systemic corticosteroids, for the treatment of these potentially fatal side effects associated with mogamulizumab therapy.
