POTELIGEO achieved a higher response rate with a long duration of response (CR+PR) in blood1-3

Response rate in blood (confirmed response)a-c (ad hoc analysis of secondary endpoint)

Secondary endpoint: POTELIGEO demonstrated 3x greater response rate (confirmed response) vs vorinostat

Duration of continued response (median)d (post hoc analysis)

Secondary endpoint: POTELIGEO demonstrated 25.5 months in median duration of continued response

In skinb,e:

  • POTELIGEO patients showed a 42% (n=78/186) response rate, compared to 15% in vorinostat patients (n=29/186) (ad hoc analysis of secondary endpoint)

  • POTELIGEO patients (n=21) achieved a median 15-month duration of continued response; vorinostat patients were not estimable (post hoc analysis)d

In visceraf:

  • No response was observed in viscera in either treatment group (POTELIGEO 0% [n=6]; vorinostat 0% [n=4])
  • aResponse was defined by international response criteria for Mycosis Fungoides and Sézary Syndrome.4
  • bResponses in blood and skin must have persisted for ≥4 weeks to be confirmed and were evaluated every 4 weeks during treatment.1,5
  • cResponse in blood defined as >50% decrease in high blood tumor burden (B2), assessed by central flow cytometry.5
  • d Duration of response was measured based on a post hoc analysis; a finding from the post hoc analysis cannot be used to demonstrate differences between treatments and may not be applicable to all patients initiating POTELIGEO.
  • eResponse in skin defined as ≥50% clearance of skin disease without new tumors, evaluated using the modified Severity Weighted Assessment Tool (mSWAT).5
  • fResponses in lymph nodes and viscera were evaluated at 4 weeks, then every 8 weeks for the first year, and every 16 weeks thereafter.2
  • gResponses in lymph nodes defined as cumulative reduction ≥50% of measurable disease of each abnormal lymph node and no new abnormal lymph nodes, evaluated by computed tomography (CT) scans.5
  • CR=complete response; PR=partial response

CTCL Expert Perspectives: POTELIGEO Efficacy and Safety

Hear Andrei Shustov, MD discuss the value of key endpoints used in the phase 3 MAVORIC trial, patient types appropriate for treatment with POTELIGEO, and the most common adverse reactions reported in MAVORIC.

POTELIGEO was evaluated in the largest randomized, open-label, phase 3 trial of a systemic therapy for patients with Mycosis Fungoides and Sézary Syndrome1,2,6

372 patients with Mycosis Fungoides (MF) and Sézary Syndrome (SS) were evaluated across Stage IB-IV for progression-free survival (PFS) as well as overall response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DoR) in multiple disease compartments (skin, blood, lymph nodes, viscera).

Indication

POTELIGEO® (mogamulizumab-kpkc) injection for intravenous infusion is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory mycosis fungoides (MF) or Sézary syndrome (SS) after at least one prior systemic therapy.

Important Safety Information

Warnings and Precautions

Dermatologic toxicity: Monitor patients for rash throughout the course of treatment. For patients who experienced dermatologic toxicity in Trial 1, the median time to onset was 15 weeks, with 25% of cases occurring after 31 weeks. Interrupt POTELIGEO for moderate or severe rash (Grades 2 or 3). Permanently discontinue POTELIGEO for life-threatening (Grade 4) rash or for any Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) or toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN).

Infusion reactions: Most infusion reactions occur during or shortly after the first infusion. Infusion reactions can also occur with subsequent infusions. Monitor patients closely for signs and symptoms of infusion reactions and interrupt the infusion for any grade reaction and treat promptly. Permanently discontinue POTELIGEO for any life-threatening (Grade 4) infusion reaction.

Infections: Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection and treat promptly.

Autoimmune complications: Interrupt or permanently discontinue POTELIGEO as appropriate for suspected immune-mediated adverse reactions. Consider the benefit/risk of POTELIGEO in patients with a history of autoimmune disease.

Complications of allogeneic HSCT after POTELIGEO: Increased risks of transplant complications have been reported in patients who received allogeneic HSCT after POTELIGEO. Follow patients closely for early evidence of transplant-related complications.

Adverse Reactions

The most common adverse reactions (reported in ≥10% of patients) with POTELIGEO in the clinical trial were rash, including drug eruption (35%), infusion reaction (33%), fatigue (31%), diarrhea (28%), drug eruption (24%), upper respiratory tract infection (22%), musculoskeletal pain (22%), skin infection (19%), pyrexia (17%), edema (16%), nausea (16%), headache (14%), thrombocytopenia (14%), constipation (13%), anemia (12%), mucositis (12%), cough (11%), and hypertension (10%).

You are encouraged to report suspected adverse reactions to Kyowa Kirin, Inc. at 1-844-768-3544 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
