Abstrakt: Cutaneous T-celllymphomas (CTCL) are rare malignanciesinvolvingprimarily the skin. Responses to treatment are usually short-lived in advanced CTCL. The determinants of long-term CTCL control are unclear. Mogamulizumab, an anti-human CCR4 antibodythatacts by antibody-dependentcellcytotoxicityagainst CCR4+ CTCL tumorcells and peripheral memory blood regulatory T cells, has been associatedwith long-lasting remissions and immune adverse events. Here, wereported skin rashes in 32% of 44 CTCL patients treatedwithmogamulizumab, associatedwithsignificantlyhigheroverallsurvival (hazard ratio, 0.16 (0.04-0.73, p=0.01)). Rash occurred in Sézary patients and wasassociatedwith longer time to progression. These rashes werecharacterized by a CD163+ granulomatous and/or CD8+ lichenoid skin infiltrate. High-throughputsequencinganalysis of TCRβ genes in skin, and blood flow cytometry, confirmed the depletion of CTCL tumorcells, and the recruitment of new reactive T-cell clones in skin at the time of skin rash. CXCL9 and CXCL11, two macrophage-derivedchemokinesthatrecruit CXCR3+ T-cells to skin, wereoverexpressed in skin rashes. A higherfrequency of TIGIT+ and PD1+ exhaustedreactive blood T-cellwasobserved at baseline in patients with rash, and thisfrequencydecreaseduponmogamulizumabtreatment. These data are consistent withmogamulizumab-induced long-term immune CTCL control by activation of the macrophagic and T-cellresponses in patients with rash.
