Key Takeaways from the Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma Pipeline Report

  • In June 2025, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center announced a study to assess the overall response rate (ORR) of ultra-low-dose total-skin electron beam therapy with brentuximab vedotin (ULD-TSEBT+BV) in patients with stage I-IV mycosis fungoides/Sezary syndrome.
  • In June 2025, Soligenix initiated a Phase 3 study evaluating an 18-week course of HyBryte and visible light for inducing treatment response in patch/plaque phase CTCL patients versus placebo. It assesses efficacy and safety of HyBryte (0.25% hypericin) gel applied twice weekly, followed by visible light exposure 21 (±3) hours later. Index lesions are evaluated via modified Composite Assessment of Index Lesion Severity (mCAILS), with follow-up every 4 weeks for 12 weeks post-treatment.

DelveInsight’s report highlights a robust pipeline with 25+ active players developing 30+ therapies. Leading companies include HyBryte, Resminostat, Mundipharma International, Shanghai Pharmaceuticals Holding, Moleculin Biotech, Inc., BeiGene, Mundipharma Research Limited, Jiangsu Simcere Biologics Co., Ltd, Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Pfizer, Galderma R&D, Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, Bio-Path Holdings, Inc., Kymera Therapeutics, Inc., Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc., and others. Promising therapies: E7777, CD11301 0.03%, Panobinostat, Quisinostat, APO866, Enzastaurin, bexarotene, Mogamulizumab, Vorinostat, Brentuximab vedotin, and others.

Below is a carefully filtered pipeline map limited strictly to Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese headquartered companies that have acted as sponsor or co-sponsor in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) clinical trials (mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome included) across Phase 1 → Phase 3. I excluded Western companies merely running trials in Asia, investigator-initiated trials where the company is not sponsor, and peripheral T-cell lymphoma–only programs unless CTCL cohort included. Because CTCL is a very small rare-disease oncology niche, you’ll notice an important reality: The CTCL pipeline in East Asia is dominated by Japan, with very limited Korean/Taiwanese corporate-sponsored development. (Most Korean/Taiwanese activity in CTCL comes from hospitals/academia rather than pharma sponsors.)

Japan : Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd. (Japan) One of the single most important companies globally in CTCL drug development. Drug: Mogamulizumab (KW-0761) — POTELIGEO® Item Details Mechanism Anti-CCR4 humanized monoclonal antibody → ADCC-mediated depletion of malignant T cells Target CCR4 expressed on CTCL malignant T-cells Trial Phases Phase 2 and Phase 3 Key Trials NCT01728805 (MAVORIC Phase 3) Sponsor Kyowa Kirin Indication Relapsed/refractory mycosis fungoides & Sézary syndrome Mechanism of Action Mogamulizumab binds CC chemokine receptor-4 (CCR4), which is over-expressed on CTCL malignant cells, and induces antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) leading to tumor-cell killing. Clinical Data Phase 3 MAVORIC Trial (372 patients): Statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival vs vorinostat Largest randomized CTCL trial conducted globally Phase 2 Japanese trial: Overall response rate ≈ 35% Regulatory & Recent Developments Approved in Japan (2014) for CTCL Supplemental application to modify dosing and remove CCR4-testing requirement Received orphan-drug designations internationally Importance: Mogamulizumab effectively created the modern targeted-immunotherapy era in CTCL and remains a global standard-of-care.

Eisai Co., Ltd. (Japan) Drug: E7777 (improved denileukin diftitox) Item Details Mechanism IL-2–diphtheria toxin fusion protein targeting CD25 Trial Phase Phase 1 and Phase 2 Sponsor Eisai Trial ID NCT01401530 Indication Relapsed/refractory CTCL & PTCL Mechanism of Action E7777 is a recombinant cytotoxic fusion protein (IL-2 + diphtheria toxin) that binds CD25-positive malignant T cells and delivers intracellular toxin to kill them. Clinical Data Phase 2 (Japanese CTCL/PTCL cohort): Objective response rate ~36% Manageable safety profile Phase 1 trial registration: Sponsor: Eisai Recent Development E7777 is a next-generation version of Ontak (denileukin diftitox) with improved purity and active monomer content. Strategic significance: This drug represents a non-checkpoint targeted cytotoxic immunotherapy — a different class from antibodies and HDAC inhibitors.

SOUTH KOREA (Important context: Korean CTCL research exists, but almost all trials are academic/hospital-sponsored, not industry-sponsored. Only one corporate pipeline has appeared intermittently.) 3. SillaJen, Inc. (South Korea) — exploratory/early oncology immunotherapy platform Item Details Platform Oncolytic vaccinia virus (Pexa-Vec, JX-594) Mechanism Tumor-selective viral replication + immune activation CTCL Status Early exploratory hematologic malignancy investigations (no late-phase CTCL trials yet) Sponsor Type Company-sponsored oncology development platform SillaJen develops oncolytic virus therapies designed to infect and lyse cancer cells while stimulating antitumor immunity. There are currently no Phase 2/3 company-sponsored CTCL trials by Korean pharma firms. Korea’s CTCL work is mainly investigator-initiated dermatology-oncology studies.

TAIWAN After exhaustive filtering of registries and company-sponsored trials: No Taiwanese pharmaceutical company is currently acting as sponsor or co-sponsor of a CTCL Phase 1–3 therapeutic drug trial. Taiwanese participation appears only as: recruiting sites in global trials academic hospital research

Consolidated Pipeline Table Company Country Drug Phase(s) MOA Trial ID Kyowa Kirin Japan Mogamulizumab Phase 2–3 Anti-CCR4 monoclonal antibody (ADCC) NCT01728805 Eisai Japan E7777 Phase 1–2 IL-2–diphtheria toxin fusion (CD25 targeting) NCT01401530 SillaJen South Korea Pexa-Vec platform (exploratory) Early/Exploratory Oncolytic vaccinia virus immunotherapy — Taiwan pharma Taiwan — — — —

Key Takeaways (Important Market Insight) Japan dominates CTCL drug innovation in Asia. Both globally used CTCL immunotherapies originated from Japanese companies. Two therapeutic classes emerged from Japan: Targeted antibody depletion (mogamulizumab) Targeted toxin immunotherapy (E7777) Korea & Taiwan lag not scientifically but commercially — their CTCL research is mostly academic due to: ultra-rare patient population dermatology-oncology subspecialty concentration regulatory orphan-drug economics Worldwide, CTCL pipelines are small — only a handful of companies globally run interventional trials at any time.
