Recurrent Mycosis Fungoides

This randomized phase I/II trial studies the best dose and side effects of durvalumab and to see how well it works with or without lenalidomide in treating patients with cutaneous or peripheral T cell lymphoma that has come back and does not respond to treatment. Monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving durvalumab and lenalidomide may work better in treating patients with cutaneous or peripheral T cell lymphoma.

This phase I trial studies the best dose and side effects of the VSV-hIFNβ-NIS vaccine with or without cyclophosphamide and combinations of ipilimumab, nivolumab, and cemiplimab in treating patients with multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia or lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). VSV-IFNβ-NIS is a modified version of the vesicular stomatitis virus (also called VSV). This virus can cause infection and when it does it typically infects pigs, cattle, or horses but not humans. The VSV used in this study has been altered by having two extra genes (pieces of DNA) added. The first gene makes a protein called NIS that is inserted into the VSV. NIS is normally found in the thyroid gland (a small gland in the neck) and helps the body concentrate iodine. Having this additional gene will make it possible to track where the virus goes in the body (which organs). The second addition is a gene for human interferon beta (β) or hIFNβ. Interferon is a natural anti-viral protein, intended to protect normal healthy cells from becoming infected with the virus. VSV is very sensitive to the effect of interferon. Many tumor cells have lost the capacity to either produce or respond to interferon. Thus, interferon production by tumor cells infected with VSV-IFNβ-NIS will protect normal cells but not the tumor cells. The VSV with these two extra pieces is referred to as VSV-IFNβ-NIS. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's DNA and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, nivolumab, and cemiplimab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving VSV-IFNβ-NIS with or without cyclophosphamide and combinations of ipilimumab, nivolumab, and cemiplimab may be safe and effective in treating patients with recurrent peripheral T-cell lymphoma.

This study is being done to assess mogamulizumab-associated rash in patients diagnosed with mycosis fungoides or sezary syndrome and treated with standard of care mogamulizumab. One of the most common side effects of mogamulizumab is a rash, currently named mogamulizumab-associated rash (MAR) which can look like MF or SS. However, mogamulizumab-associated rash (MAR) does not indicate failure of mogamulizumab, and may be a sign that the drug is working. If not properly evaluated, mogamulizumab-associated rash (MAR) could be misinterpreted as worsening of mycosis fungoides/sezary syndrome, which could lead doctors to recommend stopping mogamulizumab treatment early. The information learned by doing this research study may help tell the difference between mogamulizumab-associated rash (MAR) (sometimes also called "drug eruption") and worsening of the disease. It may also help to uncover information about the cause of mogamulizumab-associated rash (MAR).

This clinical trial studies low- dose total skin electron therapy in treating patients with stage IB-IIIA mycosis fungoides that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory) or has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed). Radiation therapy uses high energy electrons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Rotisserie technique is a method in which the patient receives total skin electron therapy while standing on a rotating platform. Giving low dose total skin electron therapy using rotisserie technique may kill tumor cells, while having fewer side effects, and may allow therapy to be repeated in future if clinically indicated.
