ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Therapeutic options for mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome include a variety of immunomodulatory, epigenetic, and cytotoxic options; however, none has been demonstrated to be efficacious for all patients, or to deliver deep and durable responses to the majority of patients. In this review, we examine the monoclonal antibody, IPH4102, a novel agent for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Areas covered In this review, we examine data demonstrating the tissue specificity of KIR3DL2 receptor, which is highly expressed on the malignant cells in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, including mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome. This specificity has led to the development of the agent IPH4102. Preclinical data showing efficacy of IPH4102 in vivo are outlined, as well as the results from Phase I clinical trials, which suggest that the agent is both efficacious and well-tolerated. Larger scale clinical trials are to follow. Expert Opinion We examine the putative benefit of IPH4102 in comparison to established agents already in the clinic, highlighting its efficacy and relative safety. We also examine possible directions that may better define the role of IPH4102 in the treatment of T-cell lymphoma in the future.Palavras-chave
