This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.

Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This early-phase trial tests a topical gel containing duvelisib, a drug that blocks certain immune signals, in people with early-stage mycosis fungoides — a type of skin lymphoma. The study enrolls about 30 participants with stage IA to IIA disease who have 3 to 5 accessible skin lesions. The main goals are to assess safety, local skin reactions, and find the best dose for future studies.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a topical gel form of duvelisib, a drug that blocks certain immune signals
What this could lead to
If safe and effective, this gel could offer a targeted, skin-directed treatment option for early-stage mycosis fungoides, potentially reducing the need for systemic therapies.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small phase 1 trial focused on safety and dosing, so it is not designed to prove efficacy. The gel may cause local skin reactions or not work as hoped.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Have a clinical diagnosis of Stage IA, Stage IB, or Stage IIA mycosis fungoides (cutaneous T-cell lymphoma), without clinically significant lymphadenopathy (≥1.5 centimeters). * Have 3 to 5 active, treatment-accessible mycosis fungoides lesions; ulcerated lesions and lesions to the face, neck, inguinal folds and intergluteal cleft are not considered suitable for administration of study drug. * Have baseline organ function (without transfusion support within 30 days of Cycle 1 Day 1) as defined by the protocol. Key Exclusion Criteria: * Have Stage IIB to IVB mycosis fungoides or Sezary syndrome. * Have histopathologically confirmed lymph node involvement. * Received systemic treatment with a phosphoinositide 3-kinases inhibitor in the 60 days prior to starting study drug. * Received topical steroids or other topical treatment (for example, nitrogen mustard) on mycosis fungoides lesions in the 2 weeks prior to starting study drug. Participants who receive such agents may become eligible for the study after a 14-day washout period. * Received systemic steroids, immunosuppressants (for example, cyclosporine, prednisone), psoralen ultraviolet A radiation therapy, narrow-band ultraviolet B light therapy, carmustine or other systemic therapies for mycosis fungoides in the 3 weeks prior to starting study drug. * Received electron beam irradiation within the 3 months prior to starting study drug. Note: other protocol-defined criteria apply.
