About this study
Official title: Study to Determine the Aetiology of Chlormethine Gel Induced-skin Drug Reaction in Early Stage Mycosis Fungoides Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma (MF-CTCL)
Adult patients with early stage MF-CTCL (stage IA-IB) will be eligible for this study. A total of 100 early stage MF-CTCL patients diagnosed in the past year will be enrolled.
Treatment with CL gel will be applied once daily to all skin areas affected by MF-CTCL and, for 8 weeks, one selected skin area unaffected by MF-CTCL (0.5% body surface area) until treatment response (complete response), study treatment duration completed (56 weeks), progression, or another withdrawal criterion is met.

Depending on the type of skin drug-related reaction (if any) occurring after application of CL gel, this study will categorize patients into three different groups corresponding to three different treatment patterns:
- Group A: Patients with no skin drug reaction with CL gel application
- Group B: Patients developing a skin drug reaction of any grade with CL gel application, not due to allergic reaction to CL gel, will continue treatment at reduced application frequency
- Group C: Patients from Group B unable to tolerate reduced CL gel application frequency will apply a potent topical steroid twice daily in addition to CL gel applied every other day
- Being tested
- chlormethine gel
- Keywords
- mycosis fungoides (MF), cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL)
- Medical subject headings
- Mycosis Fungoides, Lymphoma, T-Cell, Cutaneous
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
chlormethine gelDrug
Also called Ledaga®
Gel to be applied to all skin areas affected by MF-CTCL
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Adult patients with early stage MF-CTCL (stage IA-IB) | Experimental | Patients are treated with Chlormethine gel (CL) gel. In case of any skin drug reaction, allergic test will be carried out. Patients not allergic to CL gel will continue at reduced application frequency, with the addition of topical steroid if necessary. Receives: Drug: chlormethine gel |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Overall Response Rate (ORR) for all patients and in groups A, B and C.
The response status - complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD) and disease progression (PD) - will be assessed using the global response assessment: skin, lymph nodes (not involved at entry), viscera (not involved at entry) and blood (absolute value CD4+CD7- and CD4+CD26- circulating population) as per EORTC-ISCL-USCLC guidelines
Measured: 2.5 years from first patient in

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Adult patients with early stage MF-CTCL (stage IA-IB) will be eligible for this study. A total of 100 early stage MF-CTCL patients diagnosed in the past year will be enrolled.
Treatment with CL gel will be applied once daily to all skin areas affected by MF-CTCL and, for 8 weeks, one selected skin area unaffected by MF-CTCL (0.5% body surface area) until treatment response (complete response), study treatment duration completed (56 weeks), progression, or another withdrawal criterion is met.
Depending on the type of skin drug-related reaction (if any) occurring after application of CL gel, this study will categorize patients into three different groups corresponding to three different treatment patterns:
- Group A: Patients with no skin drug reaction with CL gel application
- Group B: Patients developing a skin drug reaction of any grade with CL gel application, not due to allergic reaction to CL gel, will continue treatment at reduced application frequency
- Group C: Patients from Group B unable to tolerate reduced CL gel application frequency will apply a potent topical steroid twice daily in addition to CL gel applied every other day

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing chlormethine gel in people with Early Stage Mycosis Fungoides Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma (MF-CTCL) (Stage IA-IB), run by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - EORTC at 2 sites in France.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study was stopped early (reason given: After an extensive assessment of the study feasibility, it was decided to discontinue the clinical trial due to poor recruitment.). Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Overall Response Rate (ORR) for all patients and in groups A, B and C. (time frame: 2.5 years from first patient in). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Nov 2023.
