ClinicalTrials ID:NCT06698822

This clinical trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of a cream containing 2% tofacitinib for treating early-stage cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL).

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The study aims to determine if tofacitinib 2% cream is safe and effective in treating early-stage CTCL, specifically stages IA, IB, and IIA. Researchers will evaluate how well the cream works in reducing the severity of skin lesions over a 12-week period and beyond for those who continue treatment.

Description

The main goals of this study are to see if tofacitinib 2% cream is safe to use and how well it works in treating early-stage CTCL. Researchers will look at how the cream affects skin lesions at different times, such as 12 weeks, and for those who continue, up to 52 weeks. They will also assess how quickly and how long the cream works, as well as its impact on itching and quality of life. Additionally, the study will explore changes in certain tumor markers before and after treatment.
