Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests a gel called HyBryte, which is activated by visible light, for treating cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), a rare type of skin cancer. About 80 adults with early-stage CTCL will apply the gel or a placebo twice a week for 18 weeks, then receive light treatment. The goal is to see if the gel can significantly reduce the size and severity of skin lesions.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
HyBryte (hypericin sodium) gel plus visible light activation
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a new topical treatment option for early-stage cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, potentially reducing skin lesions without systemic side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small Phase 3 trial (80 participants), and the treatment may not work better than placebo. Skin sensitivity and local reactions are possible risks.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients must have a clinical diagnosis of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), Stage IA, Stage IB, or Stage IIA. * Patients with a minimum of three (3) evaluable, discrete lesions. * Patients willing to follow the clinical protocol and voluntarily give their written informed consent. * Female patients not pregnant or nursing and willing to undergo a pregnancy test within 30 days prior to treatment initiation. Exclusion Criteria: * History of sun hypersensitivity and photosensitive dermatoses including porphyria, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren's syndrome, xeroderma pigmentosum, polymorphous light eruptions, or radiation therapy within 30 days of enrolling. * History of allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the components of HyBryte. * A Screening ECG with a QT interval \>470 ms (corrected for heart rate using the Fridericia's formula). * All women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and males with female partners who are WOCBP not willing to use effective contraception. * Patients receiving topical steroids or other topical treatments (eg, nitrogen mustard) on treated lesions for CTCL within 2 weeks of enrollment. * Patients receiving systemic steroids, psoralen UVA radiation therapy (PUVA), narrow band UVB light therapy (NB-UVB) or carmustine (BCNU) or other systemic therapies for CTCL within 4 weeks of enrollment. * Patients who have received electron beam irradiation within 3 months of enrollment. * Patients with a history of significant systemic immunosuppression. * Patients taking other investigational drugs or drugs of abuse within 30 days of entry into this study. * Patients whose condition is spontaneously improving. * Patients with tumor stage or erythrodermic CTCL (stages IIB-IV). * Patients with extensive skin disease (\>30% body surface area) who would be, in the judgement of the Principal Investigator, candidates for systemic treatment. * Patient has any condition that, in the judgment of the PI, is likely to interfere with participation in the study. * Prior participation in the current study.
