Study summary

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a group of diseases resulting from clonal hyperplasia of memory T cells in the skin. The increasing incidence and high treatment costs have posed significant challenges to public health and the economy. Current treatment guidelines only provide partial control, leading to varying remission times and recurrence rates. This study aims to use molecular subtyping and immunohistochemistry to guide treatment selection for CTCL patients, aiming to prolong clinical benefit, improve treatment safety, and reduce economic burden.

Read the detailed description

The study focuses on the impact of treatment strategy selection based on molecular typing for patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. The study aims to evaluate the effect on clinical benefit time and long-term prognosis, assess the safety of the treatment strategy, and explore the interaction between baseline factors and treatment regimens. This research could potentially provide valuable evidence for precision treatment in the context of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.

Study population

In this study, retrospective controls were selected from patients with complete baseline information and previous follow-up information in the cutaneous lymphoma case registry system (TACTICAL database) established in 2009. The prospective study group was a prospective enrollment of patients who met the inclusion criteria, and the immunohistochemistry algorithm established by the previous research group was used to determine the molecular subtype. The corresponding treatment regimen was selected according to the subtype. Follow-up was conducted according to the study design and updated by the ISCL, USCLC, and EORTC (2022) as they evaluate treatment response in patients. The primary outcome was time to clinical benefit (TTNT) of first-line therapy, defined as the time from treatment.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Signed ;
  • Patients with CTCL who do not respond well to targeted skin therapy (topical , nitrogen mustard, or phototherapy) in the early stage (stage I-IIA) and advanced stage (stage IIB-IV);
  • Age 18-75 years;
  • Expected survival time greater than 3 months (follow-up for the historical control group was greater than 3 months);

  • Concomitant participation in interventional clinical trials of other clinical trial drugs, except for questionnaire surveys or observational studies;
  • Any situation in which the programme is not in compliance;
  • Other conditions that in the opinion of the investigator are not suitable for participation in this study.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Creatinine clearance (CrCl)

How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Groups and cohorts

  • Prospective study group

    The group included patients with confirmed cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) based on clinical features and histopathology from three research units: Peking University First Hospital, Peking University Third Hospital, and Beijing Institute of Cancer Prevention and Treatment. According to the immunohistochemistry algorithm established previously, the formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded skin lesions of the patients will be stained. Patients will be assigned to different molecular subtypes, and the treatment strategy will be selected based on the classification.

    Other: molecular subtype based treatment

  • Retrospective control group

    The control group included patients with complete baseline information and previous follow-up data in the TACTICAL database, established by Peking University First Hospital in 2009 for cutaneous lymphoma cases.

Interventions

  • Othermolecular subtype based treatment

    The immunohistochemistry algorithm established by the previous research group was used to determine the molecular subtype, and the corresponding treatment plan was selected according to the subtype. Such as for TCyEM patients, interferon-based immunomodulatory therapy was selected, and TCM-type patients were treated with retinoids.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. time to next treatment (TTNT)

    The time to treatment failure (TTNT) is defined as the duration from the start of treatment to when the treatment is switched to the next systemic therapy or until the patient passes away. Introducing new skin-directed therapy (SDT) alongside topical therapy doesn't indicate treatment failure unless the systemic treatment is changed. If the skin lesion worsens and needs local radiotherapy, it's considered that the systemic therapy has failed. The date of discontinuation of systemic therapy is used when treatment is stopped due to disease progression without further treatment.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 2 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. objective response rate (ORR)

    The objective response rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of patients with complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) as per the Primary cutaneous lymphoma: recommendations for clinical trial design and staging update from the ISCL, USCLC, and EORTC (2022). The first CR or PR is achieved and repeated after 4 weeks for confirmation.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 2 years

  2. time to response (TTR)

    Time to response (TTR) is defined as the duration from the start of treatment to the first meeting of CR or PR criteria.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 2 years

  3. progression-free survival (PFS)

    The progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the period from the beginning of treatment until the first instance of disease progression or death from any cause. Disease progression is defined as advancement to a higher TNMB stage (excluding changes from T1a or T2a to T1b or T2b) or death due to the disease.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 2 years

  4. overall survival (OS)

    The overall survival (OS) is defined as the period from the beginning of treatment to the point of death from any cause.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 2 years

Other outcomes

  1. adverse events and adverse effects

    Adverse events and adverse effects: The Preferred Term (PT) for adverse events and the Systemic Organ Classification (SOC) will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). For the statistics of adverse event rates, each patient will be counted at most once per SOC and per PT. For the same adverse event that occurs multiple times in the same patient, the severity will be counted according to the severity of multiple occurrences. All adverse events (pre- and intra-treatment adverse events) are included in the list of adverse events

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 2 years

Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 31, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
