Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Ratio of Response Rates Based on CAILS

    The ratio of the response rate of the patients treated with the PG formulation to the response rate of the patients treated with the AP formulation. Skin response determined by at least a 50% reduction from baseline in the Composite Assessment of Index Lesion Severity (CAILS) following up to 12 months of treatment

    Assessment made at Day 1 and every subsequent visit during treatment

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Severity-weighted Assessment Tool (SWAT) Within up to 12 Months by 2 or More Consecutive Observations Over at Least 4 Weeks

    Assessment made at Day 1 and every subsequent visit during treatment

  • Percent of Participants Achieving at Least 50% Improvement of Severity Weighted Assessment Tool (SWAT)

    Baseline to end of therapy

Study Arms (2)

1 (PG - NM (MCH) 0.02%)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

PG - mechlorethamine-MCH (nitrogen mustard) 0.02% gel To evaluate the tolerability and safety of topical mechlorethamine-MCH (nitrogen mustard) 0.02% ointment formulations in patients with stage I or IIA MF

Drug: mechlorethamine-MCH (nitrogen mustard)

2 (AP - MCH(NM) 0.02%)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

AP - mechlorethamine-MCH (nitrogen mustard) 0.02% compounded in Aquaphor To evaluate the tolerability and safety of mechlorethamine-MCH (nitrogen mustard)0.02% ointment formulations in patients with stage I or IIA MF

Drug: mechlorethamine-MCH (nitrogen mustard)

Interventions

All affected areas (lesions) are to be treated once daily for twelve months with mechlorethamine-MCH (nitrogen mustard) 0.02% PG or NM 0.02% AP ointment

Also known as: mechlorethamine, nitrogen mustard

Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with mycosis fungoides confirmed by a skin biopsy
  • Stage I or IIA patients must have been treated previously with prior topical therapies including PUVA, UVB, topical steroids, but not NM within the past 2 years, or topical carmustine (BCNU)
  • Patients must be otherwise healthy with acceptable organ function.
  • Prior to initiating study therapy, patients must not have had topical therapy within four weeks
  • Lab values within normal range
  • Willing/able to give consent
  • Must use effective means of contraception if of childbearing potential

You may not qualify if:

  • Newly diagnosed mycosis fungoides with no prior therapy
  • A prior history of treatment with topical NM within the past 2 years or topical carmustine (BCNU)
  • Use of topical or systemic therapies for MF within four (4) weeks of entry in the study
  • Patients with a diagnosis of stage IIB-IV MF
  • Serious known concurrent medical illness or infection, which could potentially present a safety risk and/or prevent compliance with the requirements of the treatment program
  • Pregnant or nursing females, or males and females of childbearing potential, not using an effective means of contraception
  • Patients who have had radiation therapy within one year of study start
  • Patients who have a history of a higher T score than T2 or a higher N score than N1
  • Patients who do not agree to do all labs at one site
