Program Overview
The study aims to find out if an 18-week treatment using HyBryte™ gel, combined with visible light, can improve skin lesions in patients with early-stage cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Participants will apply either HyBryte™ gel or a placebo gel twice a week. After applying the gel, the treated areas will be covered and then exposed to visible light about 21 hours later. The study will track the changes in specific skin lesions over time to assess the treatment's effectiveness and safety. Participants will have follow-up visits every four weeks for 12 weeks after their last light treatment.
Description
This Phase 3 study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of HyBryte™ gel, which contains 0.25% hypericin, in treating early-stage cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Participants will apply the gel to their skin lesions twice a week for 18 weeks. After applying the gel, the lesions will be covered with opaque material and exposed to visible light approximately 21 hours later. The study will focus on specific lesions identified at the start for detailed assessment. Participants will be monitored every four weeks for 12 weeks after completing the light treatments to evaluate the treatment's impact and any side effects.
