- Progression Free Survival [ Time Frame: From date of randomization at every visit until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 36 months ]
Progression was defined as follows, based on Olsen (2011):
- Lymph nodes: ≥ 50% increase in SPD from baseline of lymph nodes, any new node > 1.5 cm in the long axis or > 1 cm in the short axis if 1-1.5 cm in the long axis that is proven to be N3 histologically, or > 50% increase from nadir in SPD of lymph nodes in those with PR
- Skin: ≥ 25% increase in skin disease from baseline, new tumors (T3) in patients with T1, T2 or T4 only skin disease, or in those with CR or PR, increase of skin score of greater than the sum of nadir plus 50% baseline score
- Blood: B0 to B2, > 50% increase from baseline and at least 5,000 neoplastic cells/μL36, or > 50% increase from nadir and at least 5,000 neoplastic cells/μL
- Viscera: > 50% increase in size (SPD) of any organs involved at baseline, new organ involvement, or > 50% increase from nadir in the size (SPD) of any previous organ involvement in those with PR
- Overall Response Rate [ Time Frame: at the end of cycle 1 (26-28 days), and then every other cycle in Year 1 (cycle 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13), and every 16 weeks (cycle 17, 21, etc.) in Year 2 and beyond until progression up to 36 months ]The ORR was defined as the count of subjects who had a confirmed CR or PR, defined as documented CR or PR per Global Composite Response Score that was confirmed by a subsequent observation at least 4 weeks later. Overall Response Rate was determined based on the response in all compartments (lymph nodes, skin, peripheral blood, and viscera), referencing Olsen, 2011 as follows: Complete Response (CR) = complete disappearance of all clinical evidence of disease; Partial Response (PR) = regression of measurable disease; Stable Disease (SD) = failure to attain CR, PR, or PD; Progressive Disease (PD) = PD in any compartment; Relapse = recurrence of disease in prior CR in any compartment.
- Quality of Life (QoL) Assessment - Skindex-29 Symptoms Scale Score [ Time Frame: Cycle 1, 3, and 5 ]
- Skindex-29 rates 29 items assessing 3 domains (emotions, symptoms, & functioning) on a linear scale from 0 (never) to all the time (100). Higher scores = higher impact of skin disease.
- FACT-G rates 27 items in 4 domains (physical well-being, social/family well-being, emotional well-being, functional well-being) on a 5-point scale from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). Higher scores = better QoL.
- EuroQoL lvl 3 (Eq-5D-3L) rates mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression on 3 levels - no problems, some problems, extreme problems. Score is calculated using a set of item weights to derive a single score ranging from -0.109 to 1, with 1 representing full health.
LS mean (and 95% CI) of the overall change from baseline across time points through 6-month assessment (including End of Cycles 1, 3, and 5 time points only) are calculated from MMRM with treatment, disease type, disease stage, and region as fixed effects and baseline score as a covariate.
- Pruritis Evaluation [ Time Frame: Cycle 1, 3, and 5 ]
The Itchy QoL is a validated pruritus specific quality of life instrument. It includes 22 pruritus-specific questions covering three major domains: symptoms, functioning, and emotions. The scale ranges from Never (1) to All The Time (5). The subscale scores consist of the average of the responses to the items in a given subscale. The overall score is the average of the responses to all items. Higher Itchy QoL scores indicate worse quality of life.
LS mean (and 95% CI) of the overall change from baseline across time points through 6-month assessment (including End of Cycles 1, 3, and 5 time points only) are calculated from MMRM with treatment, disease type, disease stage, and region as fixed effects and baseline score as a covariate.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male and female subjects ≥ 18 years of age at the time of enrollment, except in Japan where subjects must be ≥ 20 years of age at the time of enrollment
- Histologically confirmed diagnosis of mycosis fungoides (MF) or Sezary Syndrome (SS)
- Stage IB, II-A, II-B, III and IV
- Subjects who had failed at least one prior course of systemic therapy. Psoralen plus ultraviolet light therapy (PUVA) is not considered to be a systemic therapy
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of ≤ 1 at study entry
- Resolution of all clinically significant toxic effects of prior cancer therapy to grade ≤1 by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 4.0 (NCI-CTCAE, v.4.0)
- Adequate hematological, renal and hepatic function
- Subjects previously treated with anti-CD4 antibody or alemtuzumab were eligible provided their CD4+ cell counts were ≥ 200/mm3
- Subjects with mycosis fungoides (MF) and a known history of non-complicated staphylococcus infection/colonization were eligible provided they continued to receive stable doses of prophylactic antibiotics
- Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have had a negative pregnancy test within 7 days of receiving study medication
- WOCBP and male subjects as well as their female partners of childbearing potential must have agreed to use effective contraception throughout the study and for 3 months after the last dose of KW-0761
Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior treatment with KW-0761 or vorinostat.
- Large cell transformation. However, subjects with a history of LCT but without current aggressive disease and no current evidence of LCT on pathology in skin and lymph nodes would be eligible.
- Diagnosed with a malignancy in the past two years. However, subjects with non-melanoma skin cancers, melanoma in situ, localized cancer of the prostate with current PSA of <0.1 ng/mL, treated thyroid cancer or cervical carcinoma in situ or ductal/lobular carcinoma in situ of the breast within the past two years could enroll as long as there was no current evidence of disease.
- Clinical evidence of central nervous system (CNS) metastasis.
- Psychiatric illness, disability or social situation that would have compromised the subject's safety or ability to provide consent, or limited compliance with study requirements.
- Significant uncontrolled intercurrent illness
- Known or tested positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV-1), hepatitis B or hepatitis C.
- Active herpes simplex or herpes zoster. Subjects on prophylaxis for herpes who started taking medication at least 30 days prior to study entry, and had no active signs of active infection, and whose last active infection was more than 6 months ago, could enter the study, and should have continued to take the prescribed medication for the duration of the study.
- Experienced allergic reactions to monoclonal antibodies or other therapeutic proteins.
- Known active autoimmune disease were excluded. (For example, Grave's disease; systemic lupus erythematosus; rheumatoid arthritis; Crohn's disease; psoriasis).
- Was pregnant (confirmed by beta human chorionic gonadotrophin [β-HCG]) or lactating.
