Int J Hematol 2024; 119:736-744. [PMID: 38532079 PMCID: PMC11136860 DOI: 10.1007/s12185-024-03753-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024]
Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is an important therapy for patients with T-cell lymphomas, including cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), adult T-cell lymphoma (ATL), and peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). Mogamulizumab is an anti-CCR4 antibody that has been associated with an increased risk of transplant-related complications in retrospective analyses of ATL, particularly when administered within 50 days before transplantation. This post hoc analysis of 3 clinical trials examined safety and outcome data for 32 patients with CTCL (n = 23), ATL (n = 7), or PTCL (n = 2) who underwent allo-HSCT after mogamulizumab treatment. Overall, 22 patients (69%) were known to have graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), 8 patients (25%) did not report GVHD, and 2 patients (6%) had unknown GVHD status. Fourteen patients with known GVHD underwent transplantation between 50 and 365 days after their last dose of mogamulizumab, while 2 underwent transplantation within 50 days after treatment. Based on this limited evidence, GVHD was not associated with the time interval from last mogamulizumab dose to transplantation.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT) has been noted to be a potential curative treatment in cases of advanced-stage mycosis fungoides (MF) or Sezary syndrome (SS). To assess outcomes of allo-HSCT for MF/SS we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis including 15 manuscripts and 557 patients, published from 2010-2023. Meta-analysis revealed 1-year and 3+year overall survival (OS) of 51% (95% CI 39-64%) and 40% (32-49%). Progression-free survival at 1 year and 3+years were 42% (31-53%) and 33% (25-42%). Non-relapse mortality was 18% (13-23%). Relapse occurred in of 47% (40-53%) with a median time to relapse of 7.9 months (range 1.6-24 months). Rates of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) were 45% (35-55%) and 40% (33-48%). Reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) was associated with superior OS compared to myeloablative conditioning (MAC) (58% vs. 30%, p < 0.001). Of patients with relapse after allo-HSCT, 46% treated with donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) achieved complete remission. These data support use of allo-HSCT for treatment of advanced-stage MF/SS and suggest superiority of RIC over MAC. Rates of GVHD were comparable to allo-HSCT in general. The improved OS for RIC and high rate of CR with DLI underscore the importance of the graft-versus-lymphoma effect in allo-HSCT for MF/SS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sezary syndrome (SS) are the most common types of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Although many available treatments offer temporary disease control, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT) is the only curative treatment option for advanced stage MF and SS. CAR T-cell therapy is a promising new avenue for treatment. AREAS COVERED In this review, we discuss the evidence supporting the use of allo-HSCT for the treatment of MF/SS, including disease status at the time of transplant, conditioning regimen, total body irradiation (TBI), and donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI). We also address the potential role for CAR T-cell therapy in CTCL. EXPERT OPINION Allo-HSCT is an effective treatment for patients with advanced MF and SS. However, significant research is required to determine optimal treatment protocols. Data support the use of reduced-intensity conditioning regimens and suggests that the use of TBI for debulking of skin disease may result in more durable remissions. Donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI) appear to be particularly effective in inducing complete remission in MF/SS patients with relapsed or residual disease. Challenges with CAR-T therapies in T-cell lymphoma include T-cell fratricide due to shared antigens on malignant and nonmalignant T-cells, penetrance into the skin compartment, and CAR-T cell persistence.

Abstract
Patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma with progressive disease typically undergo a series of skin-directed and systemic therapy regimens during cycles of response and relapse. Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is an effective and safe systemic treatment option, often reserved for later stages of disease and typically employed after failure of several other therapies. ECP has benefits in response rate, time to next treatment, and tolerability that may support its use earlier in the treatment cycle for advancing/progressing disease.

Abstract
On behalf of the EORTC Cutaneous Lymphoma Tumours Group (EORTC-CLTG) and following up on earlier versions published in 2006 and 2017 this document provides an updated standard for the treatment of mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome (MF/SS). It considers recent relevant publications and treatment options introduced into clinical practice after 2017. Consensus was established among the authors through a series of consecutive consultations in writing and a round of discussion. Treatment options are assigned to each disease stage and, whenever possible and clinically useful, separated into first- and second line options annotated with levels of evidence. Major changes to the previous version include the incorporation of chlormethine, brentuximab vedotin, and mogamulizumab, recommendations on the use of pegylated interferon α (after withdrawal of recombinant unpegylated interferons), and the addition of paragraphs on supportive therapy and on the care of older patients. Still, skin-directed therapies are the most appropriate option for early-stage MF and most patients have a normal life expectancy but may suffer morbidity and impaired quality of life. In advanced disease treatment options have expanded recently. Most patients receive multiple consecutive therapies with treatments often having a relatively short duration of response. For those patients prognosis is still poor and only for a highly selected subset long term remission can be achieved with allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Understanding of the disease, its epidemiology and clinical course, and its most appropriate management are gradually advancing, and there is well-founded hope that this will lead to further improvements in the care of patients with MF/SS.

Abstract
Cutaneous T cell lymphomas (CTCLs) are a heterogenous group of skin-involved T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma which Mycosis Fungoides and Sezary Syndrome are the most common variants. Despite considerable progress in distinguishing the pathophysiology, the treatment options are still limited for advanced-stage disease. Recent approval of novel agents such as vorinostat, brentuximab vedotin and mogamulizumab paved a way. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been shown to be a feasible option in selected advanced-stage CTCL patients. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have been promising for the treatment of B-cell tumors and have been approved for second-line treatment in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Although several obstacles still need to be addressed, CAR T cell treatment for CTCLs seems not far off. This review discusses new discoveries in pathophysiology, the state of cellular therapies in current practice, challenges for cellular treatment in advanced CTCL, and how to overcome these challenges.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) is a promising strategy for treatment of heavily pretreated mycosis fungoides/Sezary syndrome (MF/SS). Herein, we aimed to evaluate the outcomes of AHSCT for heavily pretreated patients with MF/SS retrospectively. This analysis included consecutive 19 patients with MF/SS who received 20 AHSCT between 2012-2021 in our transplant center. Eight patients have been previously reported. Fifteen patients had diagnosis of MF and referred to SS in five patients. In our cohort, all cases had advanced disease (stages IIB: n = 1, IIIA: n = 7; IIIB: n = 4, IVA: n = 4, IVB: n = 3). Nine patients (47.4%) had developed large cell transformation. Only two patients received AHSCT in complete response (CR), one very good partial response (VGPR) and two partial response (PR) while the others had progressive disease (PD) (n = 15) before transplant. Seven (35%) patients were alive at the time of analysis, with a median follow up of 10.5 months (range, 0.3-113 months) after AHSCT. Nine patients (47.4%) died without disease relapse or progression. NRM was 35.9% at 1 year and 26.9% at 3 years and therafter. For all patients the probability of OS was 48.5% and 32.3% at 1- and 5- year post-transplant, respectively. AHSCT for MF/SS resulted in an estimated PFS of 45.4% at 1 year. Given the poor prognosis of patients not receiving transplants and in the absence of curative non-transplantation therapies, our results support that AHSCT is able to effectively rescue 32.3% of the population of transplant eligible, heavily pretreated patients in 5 years.

Abstract
We report the case of a 59-year-old woman with stage IV erythrodermic mycosis fungoides (MF) and large cell transformation who, despite failing multiple previous treatments, achieved complete remission through a combination of pralatrexate and romidepsin followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT). Further studies are needed in focussing on this combined regimen in treating cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) and its efficacy as a bridging regimen in facilitating successful alloSCT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a potentially curative treatment option in advanced-stage mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS). This study presents an updated analysis of the initial experience of the Lymphoma Working Party of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) describing the outcomes after allo-HSCT for MF and SS, with special emphasis on the impact of the use of unrelated donors (URD). METHODS AND PATIENTS Eligible for this study were patients with advanced-stage MF or SS who underwent a first allo-HSCT from matched HLA-identical related or URD between January/1997 and December/2011. Sixty patients have been previously reported. RESULTS 113 patients were included [77 MF (68%)]; 61 (54%) were in complete or partial remission, 86 (76%) received reduced-intensity protocols and 44 (39%) an URD allo-HSCT. With a median follow up for surviving patients of 73 months, allo-HSCT resulted in an estimated overall survival (OS) of 38% at 5 years, and a progression-free survival (PFS) of 26% at 5 years. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that advanced-phase disease (complete remission/partial remission >3, primary refractory or relapse/progression in patients that had received 3 or more lines of systemic treatment prior to transplant or the number of treatment lines was not known), a short interval between diagnosis and transplant (<18 months) were independent adverse prognostic factors for PFS; advanced-phase disease and the use of URDs were independent adverse prognostic factors for OS. CONCLUSIONS This extended series supports that allo-HSCT is able to effectively rescue over one third of the population of patients with advanced-stage MF/SS. High relapse rate is still the major cause of failure and needs to be improved with better strategies before and after transplant. The negative impact of URD is a matter of concern and needs to be further elucidated in future studies.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT While most patients with early-stage mycosis fungoides (MF) follow an indolent course, patients with advanced-stage MF/Sézary syndrome (SS) have a poor prognosis with a median survival of less than 5 years. Although there are a number of treatments currently available, achieving and maintaining a durable response remain challenging, especially in advanced-stage MF/SS. The choice of frontline therapy is dependent on the stage of disease. For early-stage MF, the treatment concept is to control skin lesions mainly by skin-directed therapies, such as topical therapies, phototherapies, and radiotherapies. For advanced-stage MF/SS, systemic treatments by biological or targeted therapies including bexarotene and interferon either alone or in combination are tried first, with more immunosuppressive chemotherapies being reserved for refractory or rapidly progressive disease. Recent improvements in biological or targeted therapies include brentuximab vedotin and mogamulizumab. When biopsy samples have 10% or more CD30-positive malignant cells, brentuximab vedotin, an anti-CD30 antibody conjugated to monomethyl auristin E, can be a desirable treatment option. For cases with blood involvement, mogamulizumab, an antibody binding to C-C chemokine receptor 4, is effective with high response rates. In the refractory setting, alemtuzumab, histone deacetylase inhibitors, pralatrexate, gemcitabine, and doxorubicin are considered as the treatment option. Because only allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can offer a chance of cure with durable complete remission, advanced-stage patients with a markedly short life expectancy should be evaluated for eligibility. Given that there are few randomized controlled studies in the literature, it is necessary to investigate which therapy is preferable for each patient with MF/SS by comparative prospective trials.
