Executive Summary
Two subtypes of T-cell mediated lymphomas have been very difficult to treat using the existing cytotoxic chemotherapy treatments. CTCL and peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) patients receiving chemotherapy may experience severe, dose-limiting toxicities and develop resistance to the therapy. Gloucester Pharmaceuticals Inc. is developing a treatment that potentially is more effective than chemo, the company says, and the National Institutes of Health is backing its development.
