About this trial

This research is being done to study the safety of implanting and retrieving a microdevice that releases up to 19 drugs directly within a cancerous lesion as a possible tool to evaluate the effectiveness of several approved cancer drugs against cutaneous T cell lymphoma and peripheral T cell lymphoma

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Participants must have clinical diagnosis of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma or peripheral T-cell lymphoma with cutaneous involvement supported by histological evaluation of skin lesions.

Participants must have measurable cutaneous disease, based on the modified Severity Weighted Assessment Tool (mSWAT; definition provided in appendix E). Skin lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions.

Two lesions are amenable to placement of multiple devices in terms of lesion size and location, as assessed by dermatologist (minimum diameter of 1.5 cm).

Patient must have the following minimum washout period from previous treatments and cannot be on any systemic therapy at the time of implantation.

Disqualifiers

Positive serum pregnancy test at screening visit.

Uncorrectable bleeding or coagulation disorder known to cause increased risk with surgical or biopsy procedures

History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to agents used in this study.

Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
