Study of ONTAK® to Treat Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL)

February 29, 2008 updated by: Eisai Inc.

Open Label Study of ONTAK® (Denileukin Diftitox, DAB389IL-2) to Estimate Response in Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL) According to CD25 Status

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate how effective ONTAK is in the treatment of cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma (CTCL) and determine whether the presence of a type of protein called CD25 on the cancer cells makes a difference in how the body responds to the treatment.

The hypothesis is that there is no difference in response rate for patients whose tumor cells are CD25 positive or negative.

  • Preserved organ function: Creatinine and/or Liver Function levels <1.5 times institutional upper limits of normal (ULN).
  • Adequate liver function as indicated by bilirubin < or equal to 1.5 times ULN, ALT < or equal to 2 times ULN, AST < or equal to 2 times ULN.
  • Albumin >3.0 g/dL
  • Adequate renal function as indicated by SCr < or equal to 2.5 mg/dl.
  • ECOG performance status between 0-2.
  • Women of childbearing potential should be screened for pregnancy prior to treatment and utilize effective contraceptive methods (e.g. barrier) during treatment period.
  • Patients over the age of 18 who are willing and able to provide Informed Consent.

Exclusion Criteria:
