Talimogene Laherparepvec and Nivolumab in Treating Patients With Refractory Lymphomas or Advanced or Refractory Non-melanoma Skin Cancers

This phase II trial studies how well talimogene laherparepvec and nivolumab work in treating patients with lymphomas that do not responded to treatment (refractory) or non-melanoma skin cancers that have spread to other places in the body (advanced) or do not responded to treatment. Biological therapies, such as talimogene laherparepvec, use substances made from living organisms that may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving talimogene laherparepvec and nivolumab may work better compared to usual treatments in treating patients with lymphomas or non-melanoma skin cancers.

Dosing of Brentuximab Vedotin for Mycosis Fungoides, Sezary Syndrome Patients

Lymphocyte Phenotype of Autosomal Recessive Congenital Ichthyoses Mutated NIPAL4 (Nipal4-nEDD)

Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyoses (ARCI) are monogenic diseases of cornification that correspond to a diffuse abnormality (affecting the entire integument) of epidermal differentiation and therefore of the skin barrier. They manifest as abnormal desquamation (scaling) associated with varying degrees of inflammation (erythema). Around ten genes are currently implicated in ARCI. Nipal 4 is one of these genes, and mutations in it are found in around 1/10 of genotyped ARCI patients. As part of this follow-up, three Nipal4 ARCI (Nipal4-nEDD) patients followed by the dermatology department of Saint-Louis hospital (Paris) were diagnosed with Sezary syndrome, a rare and serious cutaneous lymphoma (incidence 1/10,000,000), in adulthood (aged 30, 46, and 82). This lymphoma was diagnosed following a change in skin phenotype with worsening erythema, pruritus, and hyperkeratosis. The occurrence of two very rare diseases ( Nipal4-nEDD) and Sezary syndrome) in three patients raises the question of a non-coincidental association. The diagnosis of Sézary syndrome is based on a specific pathological circulating lymphocyte phenotype and is confirmed by skin histology. There is currently no obvious pathophysiological explanation for the concomitant occurrence of these two skin diseases. The blood lymphocyte phenotype of Nipal 4-nEDD patients without Sezary syndrome (SS) is unknown. A first step in investigating the mechanisms that could explain such an association would be to document this baseline lymphocyte phenotype in the Nipal 4-nEDD population without known SS.

Tulmimetostat (DZR123) in Patients With Mycosis Fungoides and Sézary Syndrome

The hypotheses of this study are that single agent DZR123 will be safe and well tolerated in patients with advanced (stage IB-IVB) mycosis fungoides (MF)/Sézary syndrome (SS) who have had at least one prior systemic therapy, and that in these patients, DZR123 will demonstrate efficacy and be worth of further study.

Study of CAR-T Cells Expressing CD30 and CCR4 for r/r CD30+ HL and CTCL

The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease. No single way is perfect for fighting cancer. This research study combines two different ways of fighting disease: antibodies and T cells. Antibodies are proteins that protect the body from disease caused by bacteria or toxic substances. Antibodies work by binding bacteria or substances, which stops them from growing and causing bad effects. T cells, also called T lymphocytes, are special infection-fighting blood cells that can kill other cells, including tumor cells or cells that are infected with bacteria or viruses. Both antibodies and T cells have been used to treat patients with cancers. They both have shown promise, but neither alone has been sufficient to treat cancer. This study will combine both T cells and antibodies in order to create a more effective treatment called Autologous T Lymphocyte Chimeric Antigen Receptor cells targeted against the CD30 antigen (ATLCAR.CD30). Another treatment being tested includes the Autologous T Lymphocyte Chimeric Antigen Receptor cells targeted against the CD30 antigen with CCR4 (ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4) to help the cells move to regions in the patient's body where the cancer is present. Participants in this study will receive either ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 cells alone or will receive ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 cells combined with ATLCAR.CD30 cells. Previous studies have shown that a new gene can be put into T cells that will increase their ability to recognize and kill cancer cells. The new gene that is put in the T cells in this study makes an antibody called anti-CD30. This antibody sticks to lymphoma cells because of a substance on the outside of the cells called CD30. Anti-CD30 antibodies have been used to treat people with lymphoma but have not been strong enough to cure most patients. For this study, the anti-CD30 antibody has been changed so instead of floating free in the blood it is now joined to the T cells. When an antibody is joined to a T cell in this way it is called a chimeric receptor. These CD30 chimeric (combination) receptor-activated T cells (ATLCAR.CD30) can kill some of the tumor, but they do not last very long in the body and so their chances of fighting the cancer are unknown. Researchers are working to identify ways to improve the ability of ATLCAR.CD30 to destroy tumor cells. T cells naturally produce a protein called CCR4 which functions as a navigation system directing T cells toward tumor cells specifically. In this study, researchers will also genetically modify ATLCAR.CD30 cells to produce more CCR4 proteins and they will be called ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4. The study team believes that the ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 cells will be guided directly toward the tumor cells based on their navigation system. In addition, the study team believes the majority of ATLCAR.CD30 cells will also be guided directly toward tumor cells when given together with ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4, increasing their anti-cancer fighting ability. This is the first time ATLCAR\>CD30.CCR4 cells or combination of ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 and ATLCAR.CD30 cells are used to treat lymphoma. The purpose of this study to determine the following: * What is the safe dose of ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 cells to give to patients * What is the safe dose of the combination of ATLCAR.CD30 and ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 cells to give to patients

Blood, Urine, and Tissue Collection for Cutaneous Lymphoma, Eczema, and Atopic Dermatitis Research

This is a tissue, urine, and blood banking protocol for cutaneous t-cell lymphoma (CTCL), eczema, and atopic dermatitis patients for current and future research.

Extracorporeal Photopheresis in Sezary Syndrome

The primary endpoint is to determine if ECP induces a decrease in % of tumor cells after treatment. 20 patients with Sezary Syndrome will receive ECP weekly x4, then bi-weekly for 5 months. Each patient will donate 5 samples to determine immune responses in peripheral blood. Additional clinical assessments will be a modified skin weighted assessment and flow cytometry at baseline and months 3 and 6. A CT scan will be obtained at baseline and only repeated if pathology is present at baseline. The tumor microenvironment will be studied by comparing transcriptomics of the blood samples before, 1 day after first ECP treatment, cycle 1, 1, 3 and 6 months after ECP treatment by scRNAseq (5 samples total per patient ).

Extracorporeal Photopheresis and Mogamulizumab for the Treatment of Erythrodermic Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma

This phase II trial studies the effect of extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) and mogamulizumab in treating patients with erythrodermic cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL), a type of skin lymphoma. CTCL is a rare type of cancer that begins in the white blood cells called T cells. Erythrodermic is a widespread red rash that may cover most of the body. ECP is a medical treatment that removes blood with a machine, isolates white blood cells and exposes them to ultra violet light, then returns the cells to the body. Mogamulizumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving mogamulizumab with ECP may work together to kill the tumor cells directly (with mogamulizumab) and boost immune response to cancer (with ECP).

A Phase 1, Multicenter, Open-label, Prospective, First-in-human Dose-escalation Clinical Trial of Domain Therapeutics' Anti-CCR8 Monoclonal Antibody (DT-7012) in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Cutaneous T-cell Lymphomas (CTCL)

Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) are a heterogeneous group of lymphomas characterized by a primary involvement of the skin. Among them, mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS) are the most common subtypes. SS is defined as erythroderma (erythema of the entire skin surface), and circulating tumor blood cells. The circulating tumor T cells express CD4 and may lose expression of CD7 and CD26, while exhibiting in most cases aberrant expression of CD158k (KIR3DL2), which is a surface marker of Sézary cells. CCR8 is a surface marker of tumor-infiltrating regulatory T cells. It has recently be observed that CCR8 was expressed by tumor cells in CTCL and other peripheral T-cell lymphomas. CCR8 is expressed by skin resident-memory T cells which are believed to be the tumor cell-of-origin in mycosis fungoides. Domain Therapeutics (DT) showed the in vitro efficacy of their proprietary anti-CCR8 mAb DT7012 in the depletion of CTCL cells. Therapeutic depletion of CCR8-expressing cells by DT-7012 could eliminate tumor cells and activate the anti-tumor immunity in CTCL. We hypothesize that treatment with DT-7012 is effective in the treatment of relapsed or refractory (R/R) CTCL as advanced MF and SS.

Assessment of Safety and Efficacy of Poteligeo Inj. 20 mg (Mogamulizumab) Through Use-result Surveillance

The purpose of this surveillance is to assess the safety and efficacy of Poteligeo Inj. 20 mg (mogamulizumab) in routine clinical settings.

Durvalumab With or Without Lenalidomide in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Cutaneous or Peripheral T Cell Lymphoma

This randomized phase I/II trial studies the best dose and side effects of durvalumab and to see how well it works with or without lenalidomide in treating patients with cutaneous or peripheral T cell lymphoma that has come back and does not respond to treatment. Monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving durvalumab and lenalidomide may work better in treating patients with cutaneous or peripheral T cell lymphoma.

Mogamulizumab + Low-Dose Total Skin Electron Beam Tx in Mycosis Fungoides & Sézary Syndrome

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of the combination of LD-TSEBT and mogamulizumab in patients with MF and SS. And to evaluate the secondary measures of clinical benefit of the combination therapy and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination in patients with MF and SS.

A Registry for People With T-cell Lymphoma

The purpose of this registry study is to create a database-a collection of information-for better understanding T-cell lymphoma. Researchers will use the information from this database to learn more about how to improve outcomes for people with T-cell lymphoma.

Dose-Escalation and Dose-Expansion Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Anti-CD7 Allogeneic CAR T-Cells (WU-CART-007) in Patients With CD7+ Hematologic Malignancies

Effective treatment options for relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (T-NHL) represent a significant unmet medical need. CAR T therapy has offered durable remissions and potential cures in some forms of hematologic malignancy, including B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In AML, however, CAR T approaches have been limited by the lack of suitable antigens, as most myeloid markers are shared with normal hematopoietic stem cells and targeting of these antigens by CAR T therapy leads to undesirable hematologic toxicity. Similarly, T-NHL has not yet benefited from CAR T therapy due to a lack of suitable markers. One potential therapeutic target is CD7, which is expressed normally on mature T-cells and NK-cells but is also aberrantly expressed on \~30% of acute myeloid leukemias. CAR T therapy for patients with CD7+ AML and T-NHL will potentially offer a new therapeutic option which has a chance of offering durable benefit. WU-CART-007 is a CD7-directed, genetically modified, allogeneic, fratricide-resistant chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell product for the treatment of CD7+ hematologic malignancies. These cells have two key changes from conventional, autologous CAR T-cells. First, because CD7 is present on normal T-cells including conventional CAR T products, CD7 is deleted from WU CART-007. This allows for targeting of CD7 without the risk of fratricide (killing of WU-CART-007 cells by other WU-CART-007 cells). Second, the T cell receptor alpha constant (TRAC) is also deleted. This makes WU CART 007 cells incapable of recognizing antigens other than CD7 and allows for the use of an allogeneic product without causing Graft-versus-Host-Disease (GvHD).
