Results from the MAVORIC (NCT01728805), the largest randomized clinical trial in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) to date, were published in The Lancet Oncology by Kim H. Youn from Stanford University, California, US, and colleagues. In this phase III trial, mogamulizumab was compared against vorinostat in previously treated CTCL patients.
Vorinostat is one of the current systemic regimens for the CTCL subtypes: mycosis fungoides (treatment-resistant early-stage or advanced stage), and Sézary syndrome that has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In this international, open-label, randomized, phase III trial, the efficacy of vorinostat in relapsed or refractory (R/R) CTCL patients was compared to mogamulizumab, a first-class anti-CC chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) monoclonal antibody. The primary outcome of the study was progression-free survival (PFS), while secondary outcomes included overall response rate (ORR), and duration of response (DoR).
The authors concluded that in patients with previously-treated mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome, mogamulizumab leads to significantly superior PFS and ORR than the current standard of care, vorinostat. Despite the higher efficacy of mogamulizumab, its safety profile was similar to vorinostat, further indicating its great potential as a novel therapy for R/R CTCL.
