Mogamulizumab is a novel monoclonal antibody designed to target CC chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4), which is expressed by tumor cells in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). In clinical trials, mogamulizumab monotherapy has demonstrated efficacy in reducing tumor burden in advanced CTCL, particularly in the peripheral blood. In clinical practice at our center, mogamulizumab has been combined with other agents such as systemic interferon, systemic retinoids, and extracorporeal photopheresis for an enhanced synergistic effect. There is limited published research on mogamulizumab combination therapy. This study evaluates the clinical efficacy of mogamulizumab in combination with systemic interferon, retinoids, and/or extracorporeal photopheresis for therapy of CTCL. Nineteen patients on this regimen at our academic center were identified. Treatment response rates, progression-free survival, duration of response, and adverse effects were characterized by retrospective chart review. All patients on this regimen at our center had an initial partial or complete response. Moreover, responses were durable, and the regimen was well-tolerated with few grade 3 adverse effects. These results demonstrate the utility of a multimodality approach to the therapy of CTCL with mogamulizumab and warrant further confirmation.
