Study name A randomized phase 2 study to evaluate three treatment regimens of SHAPE, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, in patients with stage IA, IB or IIA cutaneous T‐cell lymphoma
Methods This is a randomised, controlled trial comparing three treatment regimens of SHAPE, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, in patients with mycosis fungoides
Participants Inclusion criteria
  • Histological confirmation of cutaneous T‐cell lymphoma (CTCL); a documented verifiable biopsy report is required

  • Documented clinical stage IA, IB or IIA CTCL

  • Skin lesion involvement of at least 2% of BSA accessible for topical application of study drug


Exclusion criteria
  • CTCL with histological evidence of folliculotropic variant or large cell transformed CTCL

  • Palpable lymph node ≥1.5 cm in diameter (unless the lymph node has been biopsied and designated as Stage IA‐IIA disease)

  • CTCL disease that is known to be refractory to systemic histone deacetylase inhibitors

Interventions Arm I
  • 1.0% SHAPE Gelled Solution once daily


Arm II
  • 0.5% SHAPE Gelled Solution twice daily


Arm III
  • 1.0% SHAPE Gelled Solution twice daily

Outcomes Primary outcome of the trial
  • Lesion severity using CAILS (Composite Assessment of Index Lesion Severity)


Secondary outcomes of the trial
  • Modified Severity Weighted Assessment Tool (mSWAT)

  • Patient assessment of pruritis using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

  • Skindex‐29 Quality of Life tool

  • Modified Composite Assessment of Index Lesion Severity (CAILS)
