ABOUT MYCOSIS FUNGOIDES (MF)

Mycosis Fungoides may involve more than just the skin1

As the most common cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) subtype, Mycosis Fungoides may be indolent with skin-only symptoms, but may progress to the blood, lymph nodes, and viscera

About 1 in 3 patients with mycosis fungoidesmay experience progression within skin or to other compartments, including blood

About 1 in 3 patients with Mycosis Fungoides

may experience progression within skin or to other compartments, including blood2,3

Up to 20% of patients with early-stage Mycosis Fungoides may have blood involvement

Blood involvement
in Mycosis Fungoides:

May be more common than you think4,5

  • Blood involvement may occur, even at early stages of Mycosis Fungoides

May impact outcomes2

  • Increasing blood tumor burden has previously been linked with worsening overall survival, disease-specific survival, and an increased risk of disease progression

CTCL Expert Perspectives: Patient Identification

Andrei Shustov, MD discusses identifying therapy-refractive patients, how blood involvement can impact treatment selection, how clinical practice guidelines help shape decisions, and appropriate patient types for treatment with POTELIGEO based on data from the phase 3 MAVORIC trial.

Blood testing via flow cytometry for suspected Mycosis Fungoides is important at diagnosis and throughout treatment to monitor disease burden and response to treatment6

Indication

POTELIGEO® (mogamulizumab-kpkc) injection for intravenous infusion is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory mycosis fungoides (MF) or Sézary syndrome (SS) after at least one prior systemic therapy.

Important Safety Information

Warnings and Precautions

Dermatologic toxicity: Monitor patients for rash throughout the course of treatment. For patients who experienced dermatologic toxicity in Trial 1, the median time to onset was 15 weeks, with 25% of cases occurring after 31 weeks. Interrupt POTELIGEO for moderate or severe rash (Grades 2 or 3). Permanently discontinue POTELIGEO for life-threatening (Grade 4) rash or for any Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) or toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN).

Infusion reactions: Most infusion reactions occur during or shortly after the first infusion. Infusion reactions can also occur with subsequent infusions. Monitor patients closely for signs and symptoms of infusion reactions and interrupt the infusion for any grade reaction and treat promptly. Permanently discontinue POTELIGEO for any life-threatening (Grade 4) infusion reaction.

Infections: Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection and treat promptly.

Autoimmune complications: Interrupt or permanently discontinue POTELIGEO as appropriate for suspected immune-mediated adverse reactions. Consider the benefit/risk of POTELIGEO in patients with a history of autoimmune disease.

Complications of allogeneic HSCT after POTELIGEO: Increased risks of transplant complications have been reported in patients who received allogeneic HSCT after POTELIGEO. Follow patients closely for early evidence of transplant-related complications.

Adverse Reactions

The most common adverse reactions (reported in ≥10% of patients) with POTELIGEO in the clinical trial were rash, including drug eruption (35%), infusion reaction (33%), fatigue (31%), diarrhea (28%), drug eruption (24%), upper respiratory tract infection (22%), musculoskeletal pain (22%), skin infection (19%), pyrexia (17%), edema (16%), nausea (16%), headache (14%), thrombocytopenia (14%), constipation (13%), anemia (12%), mucositis (12%), cough (11%), and hypertension (10%).

You are encouraged to report suspected adverse reactions to Kyowa Kirin, Inc. at 1-844-768-3544 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
