The finding of interest here was that patients with MF who had blood involvement had significantly improved responses to treatment with mogamulizumab than with vorinostat, and there was a trend with mogamulizumab towards greater overall response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and time-to-next treatment (TTNT) with increasing patient blood tumour burden.<\/p>\n<p>Blood involvement is classified into three stages \u2013 B0, B1 and B2. B0 corresponds to no blood involvement or fewer than 250 cells per microlitre, \u00a0B1 is 250 to 1000 cells per microlitre and above 1000 cells per microlitre is B2.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur finding is that patients with B2 have actually the best overall response and also progression free survival when they are treated with mogamulizumab\u201d, says Dr Weishaupt. This makes sense because the antibody is infused and so it is in direct contact with the circulating atypical cells \u2013 as would be expected in SS, he adds.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-28 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.medicalupdateonline.com\/conferenceconnectissue1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/11\/Ariticle-3-Graph-1-1-1024x547.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.medicalupdateonline.com\/conferenceconnectissue02101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/11\/Ariticle-3-Graph-1-1-1024x547.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.medicalupdateonline.com\/conferenceconnectissue02101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/11\/Ariticle-3-Graph-1-1-300x160.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.medicalupdateonline.com\/conferenceconnectissue02101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/11\/Ariticle-3-Graph-1-1-768x410.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.medicalupdateonline.com\/conferenceconnectissue02101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/11\/Ariticle-3-Graph-1-1-1536x820.png 1536w, https:\/\/sites.medicalupdateonline.com\/conferenceconnectissue02101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/11\/Ariticle-3-Graph-1-1-2048x1094.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.medicalupdateonline.com\/conferenceconnectissue1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/11\/Ariticle-3-Graph-2-1024x547.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.medicalupdateonline.com\/conferenceconnectissue02101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/11\/Ariticle-3-Graph-2-1024x547.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.medicalupdateonline.com\/conferenceconnectissue02101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/11\/Ariticle-3-Graph-2-300x160.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.medicalupdateonline.com\/conferenceconnectissue02101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/11\/Ariticle-3-Graph-2-768x410.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.medicalupdateonline.com\/conferenceconnectissue02101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/11\/Ariticle-3-Graph-2-1536x821.png 1536w, https:\/\/sites.medicalupdateonline.com\/conferenceconnectissue02101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/11\/Ariticle-3-Graph-2-2048x1094.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A second point is that when time-to-response (TTR) in MF and SS patients was compared, there was a much more variable range of values for MF than for SS. In assessing whether blood tumour burden affected TTR in MF, it was found that median TTR was roughly the same, but with far less variability in those MF patients with blood involvement in whom half of patients responded after three months. In addition, the MF patients with blood involvement took longer to achieve a skin response compared to patients without blood involvement (median 3.9 vs. 1.9 months, respectively), he adds.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">References<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Kim YH et al.Mogamulizumab versus vorinostat in previously treated cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (MAVORIC): an international, open-label, randomised, controlled phase 3 trial.
