  Purpose

The objective of this study is to explore the safety and preliminary efficacy of two concentrations of resiquimod gel applied to lesions of early stage (IA, IB, IIA) cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL). Eligible subjects will be enrolled in up to 2 treatment groups of up to 8 subjects each. Treatment group #1 will apply 0.06% gel 3 times a week. Treatment group #2 will apply 0.2% gel once weekly to start. Resiquimod will be applied in dosing frequencies that are periodically adjusted according to tolerability.
