INTRODUCTION: In this survey, we analyzed data from patients suffering from the most common cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) subtypes mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS), treated with the retinoid alitretinoin during a 7-year period at our outpatient department between 2015 and 2020.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed patient medical records including TNMB stage, side effects under therapy with alitretinoin, time to next treatment (TTNT), and previous photo documentation.
RESULTS: A total of 35 patients with MF (n = 28) and SS (n = 7) were included in the study, of whom 69% were male and 31% were female. The mean age of onset was 56 ± 15 years in MF and 65.4 ± 10.8 years in SS with 51.4% having early stage (IA-IIA) and 48.6% having advanced stage (IIB-IVA) CTCL. Of these patients 37.2% responded to alitretinoin, 28.6% had a stable course, and 34.3% experienced progression. Alitretinoin was administered as a monotherapy (25.7%) or combined with five concomitant therapies (74.2%), most frequently with ECP (31.4%) and PUVA (11.4%). 63% did not report any side effects, most often hypertriglyceridemia (20%) was described.
CONCLUSION: Considering that nearly two thirds of the CTCL patients treated with alitretinoin showed a response or stable disease, together with a low number of side effects and low cost compared to bexarotene, alitretinoin may be a potential alternative in the treatment of less advanced CTCLs. This survey represents the largest number of recorded therapies with the retinoid alitretinoin in CTCLs in a European patient collective.
