Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This clinical trial studies low- dose total skin electron therapy in treating patients with stage IB-IIIA mycosis fungoides that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory) or has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed). Radiation therapy uses high energy electrons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Rotisserie technique is a method in which the patient receives total skin electron therapy while standing on a rotating platform. Giving low dose total skin electron therapy using rotisserie technique may kill tumor cells, while having fewer side effects, and may allow therapy to be repeated in future if clinically indicated.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the skin-related quality of life using an established method (Skindex-29), with comparisons made between pre-treatment and each of follow-up post-treatment skin assessments.

II. To assess the durability of response using an established method (modified Severity-Weight Assessment \[mSWAT\] tool), with comparisons made between pre-treatment and each of follow-up post-treatment skin assessments.

III. To determine side effect profile for low dose total skin electron therapy (TSE) for mycosis fungoides administered via rotisserie technique.

OUTLINE:

The investigational portion of this research study involves collecting quality of life (QOL) questionnaire data and objective measurements of patients' skin responses, which are obtained by the radiation oncologist during the patient's standard of care radiation treatment planning. Patients will also undergo standard of care low-dose total skin electron therapy for under 1 hour daily on days 10-21.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 6 and 12 weeks, and then every 3 months thereafter.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Quality of Life/ Grading Skin Findings

Patients' baseline quality of life is established by completion of an initial questionnaire, and skin lesion burden is quantified by physical examination using a recommended system . Following the standard of care radiation therapy, patients' completion of questionnaire, and physical examination is repeated for continued assessment.

Quality-of-Life Assessment

Intervention Type OTHER

At initial visit (day 1) - for determination of a baseline quality of life, patients will be given a self-reported questionnaire called the Skindex-29. Following standard of care radiation treatments, at weeks 6 \& 12, and every 3 months thereafter, patients will complete the Skindex-29 questionnaire.

Objective Grading of Skin Findings

Intervention Type OTHER

At initial visit (day 1) , using mSWAT the radiation oncologist can follow the patient's treatment response by accurately grading the severity of the patient's skin findings. Following standard of care radiation treatments, at weeks 6 \& 12, and every 3 months thereafter, mSWAT will again be determined by physician. Follow-up visits will continue until patient has a change in disease.
