Popis: | Mogamulizumab targets extracellular N‐terminal domain of CCR4, which is expressed in most adult T‐cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) cases. Recently, we reported that CCR4 C‐terminal gain‐of‐function mutations were frequent in ATL cases, and a subgroup with these mutations who were treated without allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and with mogamulizumab‐containing [HSCT (−) and mogamulizumab (+)] regimens had a superior survival rate. Although these mutations are most likely a biomarker for predicting a strong response to mogamulizumab, their detection is time‐consuming and costly. A more convenient screening tool may be necessary in the clinical setting. In this study, the clinicopathological importance of immunohistochemistry for the CCR4 N‐terminus (CCR4‐N‐IHC) and C‐terminus (CCR4‐C‐IHC) was examined in a large ATL cohort (n = 92). We found that CCR4‐C‐IHC, but not CCR4‐N‐IHC, was inversely correlated with the CCR4 mutation status. In ATL patients negative for CCR4‐C‐IHC, a subgroup treated with HSCT (−) and mogamulizumab (+) regimens showed a significantly better prognosis. In addition, CCR4‐C‐IHC was found to be a useful marker for high‐sensitivity screening of the CCR4 mutational status (87%). The present study suggests that CCR4‐C‐IHC may be useful for identifying ATL patients harboring mutated CCR4 who may benefit from the superior efficacy of mogamulizumab‐containing regimens and that CCR4‐C‐IHC may be a rapid and cost‐efficient tool for screening for CCR4 mutation status. |
