First seen Feb 17, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This study tests whether combining pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) with gemcitabine (a chemotherapy drug) can help control advanced mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome, two rare types of skin lymphoma. It includes 14 adults who have already tried at least one other treatment. The goal is to see how many people respond to the combination, but it is not expected to be a cure.
