Official Title: A Phase II Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of Topical Bexarotene Gel in Patients With Parapsoriasis: a Topical Chemoprevention Strategy for Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma.
Brief Summary: Parapsoriasis is a term that refers to a precursor stage of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL)/mycosis fungoides(MF). Complete responses (clearing) of early presentations of CTCL/MF have been shown to be associated with long-term survival and cure. Induction of a complete response in parapsoriasis, therefore, would seem to be a desirable therapeutic endpoint. Bexarotene 1% gel has been approved for treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (mycosis fungoides). The goal of this study is to evaluate the tolerability, safety and efficacy of bexarotene 1% gel in patients with parapsoriasis.
