Mogamulizumab is a CCR4-targeted immuno-oncology drug. It is intended to deplete CCR4-expressing Treg cells in the tumor microenvironment so as to release Teff cells from Treg-mediated suppression and facilitate tumor cell killing. However, it also targets intratumoral Treg cells that serve other vital immune cell functions and can induce serious side effects such as dermatologic toxicity and autoimmune issues.

Mogamulizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb) directed against CC chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) for the treatment of Mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary Syndrome (SS), the most common subtypes of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas occur when certain white blood cells, called T cells, become cancerous; these cancers typically affect the skin, causing various types of skin lesions.[rx]

On August 8, 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved mogamulizumab injection (also known as Poteligeo) for intravenous use for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory mycosis fungoid (MF) or Sézary syndrome (SS) after at least one prior systemic therapy.[rx] It was approved for the same indications in Canada in June 2022.[rx]

Mogamulizumab is derived from Kyowa Hakko Kirin’s INTELLIGENT (®) technology, which produces antibodies with enhanced antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity. Approval in Japan was granted on April 30 2012 by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare for patients with relapsed or refractory CCR4-positive adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma.[rx]

Mechanism of action

Mogamulizumab selectively binds to and inhibits the activity of CCR4, which may block CCR4-mediated signal transduction pathways and, so, chemokine-mediated cellular migration and proliferation of T cells, as well as chemokine-mediated angiogenesis. Additionally, this agent may induce antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) against CCR4-positive T cells. CCR4, a G-coupled-protein receptor for C-C chemokines such as MIP-1, RANTES, TARC, and MCP-1, is expressed on the surfaces of some types of T cells, endothelial cells, and certain types of neurons. CCR4, also known as CD194, may be overexpressed on adult T-cell lymphoma (ATL) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) cells [rx]. In addition to directly targeting malignant T cells expressing CCR4, mogamulizumab depletes Treg cells, an important therapeutic target in many human cancers because of their role in suppressing host antitumor immunity [rx].

This drug is a CC chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) antagonist. It is a monoclonal antibody that blocks T-cell proliferation, which leads to malignancy.[rx,rx] CCR4 is a chemokine receptor that is preferentially expressed by Th2 and regulatory T (Treg) cells. In response to its ligands, CCL17 (TARC) and CCL22 (MDC), CCR4 promotes T-cell migration to extranodal sites, including the skin

Indications

  • Mogamulizumab is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory mycosis fungoid (MF) or Sézary syndrome (SS) after at least one prior systemic therapy.
  • Mogamulizumab is a monoclonal antibody used to treat relapsed or refractory mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome after attempting one other therapy.
  • Refractory Mycosis Fungoides and Sezary Syndrome
  • Relapsed Mycosis Fungoides/Sezary Syndrome

Use in Cancer

Mogamulizumab-kpkc is approved to treat:

Mogamulizumab-kpkc is also being studied in the treatment of other types of cancer.

Contraindications

  • a bad infection
  • inflammation of the middle tissue heart muscle
  • a type of inflammation of the lung called interstitial pneumonitis
  • inflammation of the liver called hepatitis
  • glomerulonephritis, a condition that affects the kidneys
  • muscle inflammation

Dosage

Strengths: kpkc 4 mg/mL

Mycosis Fungoides

  • 1 mg/kg IV over at least 60 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of the first 28-day cycle, then on days 1 and 15 of each subsequent 28-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
  • Administer premedication with diphenhydramine and acetaminophen for the first infusion.
  • For relapsed or refractory mycosis fungoid’s (MF) or Sezary syndrome (SS) after at least one prior systemic therapy

Dose Adjustments

Dose Modifications for Dermatologic Toxicity:

  • If mild (Grade 1) rash occurs, consider topical corticosteroids.
  • If a moderate or severe (Grade 2 or 3) rash occurs, interrupt therapy and administer at least 2 weeks of topical corticosteroids; if the rash improves to Grade 1 or less, therapy may be resumed.
  • Permanently discontinue therapy for life-threatening (Grade 4) rash or for Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) or toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). If SJS or TEN is suspected, discontinue therapy, and do not resume unless SJS or TEN has been excluded and the cutaneous reaction has resolved to Grade 1 or less.

Dose Modifications for Infusion Reactions:

  • If an infusion reaction occurs, administer premedication (i.e., diphenhydramine and acetaminophen) for subsequent infusions.
  • Temporarily interrupt the infusion for mild to severe (Grades 1 to 3) infusion reactions and treat symptoms. Reduce the infusion rate by at least 50% when restarting the infusion after symptoms resolve. If the reaction recurs and is unmanageable, discontinue infusion.
  • Permanently discontinue therapy for a life-threatening (Grade 4) infusion reaction.

Administration advice:

  • Premedicate patients with diphenhydramine and acetaminophen for the first infusion.
  • Administer within 2 days of the scheduled dose; if a dose is missed, administer the next dose as soon as possible and resume the dosing schedule.
  • Do not administer subcutaneously or by rapid IV administration.

Pregnancy and Lactation

FDA and TGA pregnancy category C

Pregnancy

There are no available data on POTELIGEO use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects and miscarriage. In an animal reproduction study, administration of mogamulizumab-kpkc to pregnant cynomolgus monkeys from the start of organogenesis through delivery did not show potential for adverse developmental outcomes at maternal systemic exposures 27 times the exposure in patients at the recommended dose, based on AUC (see Data).

In general, IgG molecules are known to cross the placental barrier and in the monkey reproduction study mogamulizumab-kpkc was detected in fetal plasma. Therefore, POTELIGEO has the potential to be transmitted from the mother to the developing fetus. POTELIGEO is not recommended during pregnancy or in women of childbearing potential not using contraception. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other
adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risks of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies are 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.

Lactation

There is no information regarding the presence of POTELIGEO in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for POTELIGEO and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from POTELIGEO or from the underlying maternal condition.

Why is this medication prescribed?

Mogamulizumab-kpkc injection is used to treat mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome, two types of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma ([CTCL], a group of cancers of the immune system that first appear as skin rashes), in adults whose disease has not improved, has gotten worse or has come back after taking other medications. Mogamulizumab-kpkc injection is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It works by activating the immune system to attack cancer cells.

How should this medicine be used?

Mogamulizumab-kpkc injection comes as a solution (liquid) to be injected intravenously (into a vein) over at least 60 minutes by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or medical office. It is usually given once a week for the first four doses, and then once every other week for as long as your treatment continues. The length of treatment depends on how well your body responds to the medication and the side effects that you experience.

You may experience a serious or life-threatening reaction while you receive a dose of mogamulizumab-kpkc injection. These reactions are more common with the first dose of mogamulizumab-kpkc injection but may occur at any time during treatment. Your doctor may tell you to take certain medications before receiving your dose to prevent these reactions. Your doctor will monitor you carefully while you are receiving the medication. If you experience any of the following symptoms during or after your infusion, tell your doctor immediately: chills, shaking, nausea, vomiting, flushing, itching, rash, fast heartbeat, shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, dizziness, feeling like passing out, tiredness, headache, or fever. If you experience any of these symptoms, your doctor will slow down or stop your infusion and treat the symptoms of the reaction. If your reaction is severe, your healthcare provider may decide not to give you any more infusions of mogamulizumab-kpkc.

Ask your pharmacist or doctor for a copy of the manufacturer’s information for the patient.

This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

What special precautions should I follow?

Before receiving mogamulizumab-kpkc injection,

  • tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic (such as a skin reaction or infusion reaction) to mogamulizumab-kpkc, any other medications, or any of the ingredients in mogamulizumab-kpkc injection. Ask your pharmacist for a list of the ingredients.
  • tell your doctor and pharmacist what other prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking or plan to take. Your doctor may need to change the doses of your medications or monitor you carefully for side effects.
  • tell your doctor if you have had or plan to have a stem cell transplant using cells from a donor, and if you have or have ever had any type of autoimmune disease, liver disease including Hepatitis B virus infection, or any type of lung or breathing problems.
  • tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding. If you are able to become pregnant, your doctor will do a pregnancy test before you start treatment with mogamulizumab-kpkc injection. You should use birth control to prevent pregnancy during your treatment with mogamulizumab-kpkc injection and for at least 3 months after your last dose of medication. Talk to your doctor about methods of birth control that will work for you. If you become pregnant while receiving mogamulizumab-kpkc injection, call your doctor.
  • if you are having surgery, including dental surgery, tell the doctor or dentist that you are receiving mogamulizumab-kpkc injection.
