Clinical
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.

Availability & biosimilar status
Biologics have no small-molecule generics; biosimilar competition is tracked in the FDA Purple Book.
Why the date isn’t exact: Biosimilar timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added or removed, and litigation can move the real date earlier or later.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Biologic patent
- A patent the reference product’s maker has publicly listed. A biosimilar generally can’t launch until these expire — unless they’re invalidated or resolved in a settlement.
- Reference-product exclusivity
- A flat 12 years of FDA market protection from the biologic’s first licensure (the BPCIA). No biosimilar can be licensed before it ends, regardless of patents.
- Interchangeable exclusivity
- The first interchangeable biosimilar can earn a period as the only interchangeable version (pharmacists can substitute it without the prescriber).
- Earliest biosimilar (LOE)
- The latest of all the dates above — the soonest a biosimilar can realistically reach the market. Litigation and settlements can move it earlier.
Biologics have no small-molecule “generics” — competition comes from FDA-licensed biosimilars, tracked in the FDA Purple Book.
| Code | What it grants | Expires |
|---|---|---|
| RefProduct | Reference-product exclusivity (12-year, BPCIA) — no biosimilar can be licensed before this date | Aug 8, 2030 |

Full prescribing information FDA SPL
🎯 Indications and Usage ▾
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE POTELIGEO is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory mycosis fungoides (MF) or Sézary syndrome (SS) after at least one prior systemic therapy. POTELIGEO is a CC chemokine receptor type 4 (CCR4)-directed monoclonal antibody indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome after at least one prior systemic therapy ( 1 ).
⏱️ Dosage and Administration ▾
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION 1 mg/kg as an intravenous infusion over at least 60 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of the first 28-day cycle and on days 1 and 15 of each subsequent cycle ( 2 ).
2.1Recommended Dosage The recommended dose of POTELIGEO is 1 mg/kg administered as an intravenous infusion over at least 60 minutes. Administer 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 POTELIGEO within 2 days of the scheduled dose.
If a dose is missed, administer the next dose as soon as possible and resume dosing schedule. Do not administer POTELIGEO subcutaneously or by rapid intravenous administration. Recommended Premedications Administer premedication with diphenhydramine and acetaminophen for the first POTELIGEO infusion.
2.2Dose Modifications for Toxicity Dermatologic Toxicity Permanently discontinue POTELIGEO for life-threatening (Grade 4) rash or for any Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) or toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. If SJS or TEN is suspected, stop POTELIGEO and do not resume unless SJS or TEN has been excluded and the cutaneous reaction has resolved to Grade 1 or less. If moderate or severe (Grades 2 or 3) rash occurs, interrupt POTELIGEO and administer at least 2 weeks of topical corticosteroids.
If rash improves to Grade 1 or less, POTELIGEO may be resumed [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. If mild (Grade 1) rash occurs, consider topical corticosteroids. Infusion Reactions Permanently discontinue POTELIGEO for a life-threatening (Grade 4) infusion reaction [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ].
Temporarily interrupt the infusion of POTELIGEO 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 reaction recurs and is unmanageable, discontinue infusion. [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ].
If an infusion reaction occurs, administer premedication (such as diphenhydramine and acetaminophen) for subsequent POTELIGEO infusions.
2.3Preparation and Administration Preparation Visually inspect drug product solution for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. POTELIGEO is a clear to slightly opalescent colorless solution. Discard the vial if cloudiness, discoloration, or particulates are observed.
Calculate the dose (mg/kg) and number of vials of POTELIGEO needed to prepare the infusion solution based on patient weight. Aseptically withdraw the required volume of POTELIGEO into the syringe and transfer into an intravenous (IV) bag containing 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP. The final concentration of the diluted solution should be between 0.1 mg/mL to 3 mg/mL.
Mix diluted solution by gentle inversion. Do not shake. Discard any unused portion left in the vial.
The diluted solution is compatible with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyolefin (PO) infusion bags. Administration Administer infusion solution over at least 60 minutes through an intravenous line containing a sterile, low protein binding, 0.22 micron (or equivalent) in-line filter. Do not mix POTELIGEO with other drugs.
Do not co-administer other drugs through the same intravenous line. Storage of Diluted Solution After preparation, infuse the POTELIGEO solution immediately, or store under refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) for no more than 24 hours from the time of infusion preparation. Do not freeze.
Do not shake.

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Dermatologic Toxicity : Temporarily interrupt POTELIGEO for moderate or severe skin rashes. Permanently discontinue POTELIGEO for life-threatening rash ( 5.1 ). Infusion Reactions : Temporarily interrupt POTELIGEO for any infusion reaction.
Permanently discontinue POTELIGEO for any life-threatening infusion reaction ( 5.2 ). Infections : Monitor and treat promptly ( 5.3 ). Autoimmune Complications : Interrupt or permanently discontinue POTELIGEO as appropriate ( 5.4 ).
Complications of Allogeneic HSCT after POTELIGEO : Monitor for severe acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and steroid-refractory GVHD. Transplant-related mortality has occurred ( 5.5 ).
5.1Dermatologic Toxicity Fatal and life-threatening skin adverse reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), have occurred in recipients of POTELIGEO. Rash (drug eruption) is one of the most common adverse reactions associated with POTELIGEO. In Study 0761-010, 25% (80/319) of patients treated with POTELIGEO had an adverse reaction of drug eruption, with 18% of these cases being severe (Grade 3) and 82% of these cases being Grade 1 or 2.
Of 528 patients treated with POTELIGEO in clinical trials, Grade 3 skin adverse reactions were reported in 3.6%, Grade 4 skin adverse reactions in <1%, and SJS in <1%. The onset of drug eruption is variable, and the affected areas and appearance vary. In Study 0761-010, the median time to onset was 15 weeks, with 25% of cases occurring after 31 weeks.
The more common presentations reported included papular or maculopapular rash, lichenoid, spongiotic or granulomatous dermatitis, and morbilliform rash. Other presentations included scaly plaques, pustular eruption, folliculitis, non-specific dermatitis, and psoriasiform dermatitis. Monitor patients for rash throughout the treatment course.
Management of dermatologic toxicity includes topical corticosteroids and interruption or permanent cessation of POTELIGEO [ see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ]. Consider skin biopsy to help distinguish drug eruption from disease progression. Discontinue POTELIGEO permanently for SJS or TEN or for any life-threatening (Grade 4) reaction.
For possible SJS or TEN, interrupt POTELIGEO and do not restart unless SJS or TEN is ruled out and the cutaneous reaction has resolved to Grade 1 or less.
5.2Infusion Reactions Fatal and life-threatening infusion reactions have been reported in patients treated with POTELIGEO. In Study 0761-010, infusion reactions occurred in 35% (112/319) of patients treated with POTELIGEO, with 8% of these reactions being severe (Grade 3). Most reactions (approximately 90%) occur during or shortly after the first infusion.
Infusion reactions can also occur with subsequent infusions. The most commonly reported signs include chills, nausea, fever, tachycardia, rigors, headache, and vomiting. Consider premedication (such as diphenhydramine and acetaminophen) for the first infusion of POTELIGEO in all patients.
Whether premedication reduces the risk or severity of these reactions is not established. In Study 0761-010, infusion reactions occurred in 42% of patients without premedication and 32% of patients with premedication. Monitor patients closely for signs and symptoms of infusion reactions and interrupt the infusion for any grade reaction and treat promptly [ see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ].
5.3Infections Fatal and life-threatening infections have occurred in patients treated with POTELIGEO, including sepsis, pneumonia, and skin infection. In Study 0761-010, 18% (34/184) of patients randomized to POTELIGEO had Grade 3 or higher infection or an infection-related serious adverse reaction. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection and treat promptly.
5.4Autoimmune Complications Fatal and life-threatening immune-mediated complications have been reported in recipients of POTELIGEO. Grade 3 or higher immune-mediated or possibly immune-mediated reactions… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

6.1Clinical Trial Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The data described below reflect exposure to POTELIGEO in Study 0761-010, a randomized, open-label, actively controlled clinical trial for adult patients with MF or SS who received at least one prior systemic therapy [ see Clinical Studies (14) ].
Of 370 patients treated, 184 (57% with MF, 43% with SS) received POTELIGEO as randomized treatment and 186 (53% with MF, 47% with SS) received vorinostat. In the vorinostat arm, 135 patients (73%) subsequently crossed over to POTELIGEO for a total of 319 patients treated with POTELIGEO. POTELIGEO was administered at 1 mg/kg intravenously over at least 60 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of the first 28-day cycle and on days 1 and 15 of subsequent 28-day cycles.
Premedication (diphenhydramine, acetaminophen) was optional and administered to 65% of randomized patients for the first infusion. The comparator group received vorinostat 400 mg orally once daily, given continuously in 28-day cycles. Treatment continued until unacceptable toxicity or progressive disease.
The median age was 64 years (range, 25 to 101 years), 58% of patients were male, 70% were white, and 99% had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1. Patients had a median of 3 prior systemic therapies. The trial required an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1,500/µL (≥1,000/µL if bone marrow was involved), platelet count ≥100,000/µL (≥75,000/µL if bone marrow was involved), creatinine clearance >50 mL/min or serum creatinine ≤1.5 mg/dL, and hepatic transaminases ≤2.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) (≤5 times ULN if lymphomatous liver infiltration).
Patients with active autoimmune disease, active infection, autologous HSCT within 90 days, or prior allogeneic HSCT were excluded. During randomized treatment, the median duration of exposure to POTELIGEO was 5.6 months, with 48% (89/184) of patients with at least 6 months of exposure and 23% (43/184) with at least 12 months of exposure. The median duration of exposure to vorinostat was 2.8 months, with 22% (41/186) of patients with at least 6 months of exposure.
Fatal adverse reactions within 90 days of the last dose occurred in 2.2% (7/319) of patients who received POTELIGEO as randomized or crossover treatment. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 36% (66/184) of patients randomized to POTELIGEO and most often involved infection (16% of patients; 30/184). Serious adverse reactions reported in >2% of patients randomized to POTELIGEO were pneumonia (5%), sepsis (4%), pyrexia (4%), and skin infection (3%); other serious adverse reactions, each reported in 2% of patients, included hepatitis, pneumonitis, rash, infusion related reaction, lower respiratory tract infection, and renal insufficiency.
POTELIGEO was discontinued for adverse reactions in 18% of randomized patients, most often due to rash or drug eruption (7.1%). The most common adverse reactions (reported in ≥20% of patients random… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary 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 a 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. Data Animal Data The effects of mogamulizumab-kpkc on embryo-fetal development were evaluated in 12 pregnant cynomolgus monkeys that received mogamulizumab-kpkc once weekly by intravenous administration from the start of organogenesis through delivery at an exposure level 27 times higher than the clinical dose.
Mogamulizumab-kpkc administration did not show a potential for embryo-fetal lethality, teratogenicity, or fetal growth retardation and did not result in spontaneous abortion or increased fetal death. In surviving fetuses (10 of 12 compared with 11 of 12 in the control group) of cynomolgus monkeys treated with mogamulizumab-kpkc, a decrease in CCR4-expressing lymphocytes due to the pharmacological activity of mogamulizumab-kpkc was noted; there were no apparent mogamulizumab-kpkc -related external, visceral, or skeletal abnormalities.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary 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.
8.3Females and Males of Reproductive Potential POTELIGEO is not recommended during pregnancy or in women of childbearing potential not using contraception. Pregnancy Testing For females of reproductive potential, verify pregnancy status prior to initiating POTELIGEO. Contraception Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with POTELIGEO and for 3 months following the last dose of POTELIGEO.
8.4Pediatric use The safety and effectiveness of POTELIGEO in pediatric patients have not been established.
8.5Geriatric use Of 319 patients with MF or SS who received POTELIGEO in Study 0761-010, 162 (51%) were ≥65 years. No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients. In patients aged ≥65, Grade 3 or higher adverse reactions were reported in 45% and serious adverse reactions in 36%, whereas in patients aged <65, Grade 3 or higher adverse reactions were reported in 36% and serious adverse reactions in 29%.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Mogamulizumab-kpkc is a defucosylated, humanized IgG1 kappa monoclonal antibody that binds to CCR4, a G protein-coupled receptor for CC chemokines that is involved in the trafficking of lymphocytes to various organs. Non-clinical in vitro studies demonstrate mogamulizumab-kpkc binding targets a cell for antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) resulting in depletion of the target cells. CCR4 is expressed on the surface of some T-cell malignancies and is expressed on regulatory T-cells (Treg) and a subset of Th2 T-cells.
12.2Pharmacodynamics Mogamulizumab-kpkc exposure-response relationships and the time course of pharmacodynamics response are unknown.
12.3Pharmacokinetics Mogamulizumab-kpkc pharmacokinetics (PK) was evaluated in patients with T-cell malignancies. Parameters are presented as the geometric mean [% coefficient of variation (%CV)] unless otherwise specified. Mogamulizumab-kpkc concentrations increased proportionally with dose over the dose range of 0.01 to 1.0 mg/kg (0.01 to 1 times the approved recommended dosage).
Following repeated dosing of the approved recommended dosage, steady state concentrations were reached after 8 doses (12 weeks), and the systemic accumulation was 1.6-fold. At steady state, the peak concentration (C max,ss ) is 32 (68%) µg/mL, the trough concentration (C min,ss ) is 11 (239%) µg/mL, and AUC ss is 5,577 (125%) µg∙hr/mL. Distribution The central volume of distribution is
3.6L (20%). Elimination The terminal half-life is 17 days (66%), and the clearance is 12 mL/h (84%). Specific Populations : No clinically significant changes in the PK of mogamulizumab-kpkc were observed based on age (range: 22 to 101 years), sex, ethnicity, renal impairment (creatinine clearance <90 mL/min, estimated by Cockcroft-Gault), mild (total bilirubin ≤ ULN and AST <ULN, or total bilirubin <1 to 1.5 times ULN and any AST) or moderate (total bilirubin >1.5 to 3 times ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment, disease subtype (MF or SS), degree of CCR4 expression, or ECOG status.
The effect of severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >3 times ULN and any AST) on mogamulizumab-kpkc PK is unknown. Drug Interaction Studies No drug interaction studies have been conducted with POTELIGEO.
12.6Immunogenicity As with all therapeutic proteins, there is a potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors, including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease.
For these reasons, comparison of incidence of antibodies to POTELIGEO with the incidences of antibodies in other studies or to other products may be misleading. Among 313 patients treated with POTELIGEO and whose antibodies were tested, 44 (14.1%) tested positive for anti-mogamulizumab-kpkc antibodies. There was no identified clinically significant effect of anti-drug antibodies on pharmacokinetics, safety, or effectiveness of POTELIGEO.
There were no positive neutralizing antibody responses.
🧬 Mechanism of Action ▾
12.1Mechanism of Action Mogamulizumab-kpkc is a defucosylated, humanized IgG1 kappa monoclonal antibody that binds to CCR4, a G protein-coupled receptor for CC chemokines that is involved in the trafficking of lymphocytes to various organs. Non-clinical in vitro studies demonstrate mogamulizumab-kpkc binding targets a cell for antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) resulting in depletion of the target cells. CCR4 is expressed on the surface of some T-cell malignancies and is expressed on regulatory T-cells (Treg) and a subset of Th2 T-cells.

🧬 Pharmacokinetics ▾
12.3Pharmacokinetics Mogamulizumab-kpkc pharmacokinetics (PK) was evaluated in patients with T-cell malignancies. Parameters are presented as the geometric mean [% coefficient of variation (%CV)] unless otherwise specified. Mogamulizumab-kpkc concentrations increased proportionally with dose over the dose range of 0.01 to 1.0 mg/kg (0.01 to 1 times the approved recommended dosage).
Following repeated dosing of the approved recommended dosage, steady state concentrations were reached after 8 doses (12 weeks), and the systemic accumulation was 1.6-fold. At steady state, the peak concentration (C max,ss ) is 32 (68%) µg/mL, the trough concentration (C min,ss ) is 11 (239%) µg/mL, and AUC ss is 5,577 (125%) µg∙hr/mL. Distribution The central volume of distribution is
3.6L (20%). Elimination The terminal half-life is 17 days (66%), and the clearance is 12 mL/h (84%). Specific Populations : No clinically significant changes in the PK of mogamulizumab-kpkc were observed based on age (range: 22 to 101 years), sex, ethnicity, renal impairment (creatinine clearance <90 mL/min, estimated by Cockcroft-Gault), mild (total bilirubin ≤ ULN and AST <ULN, or total bilirubin <1 to 1.5 times ULN and any AST) or moderate (total bilirubin >1.5 to 3 times ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment, disease subtype (MF or SS), degree of CCR4 expression, or ECOG status.
The effect of severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >3 times ULN and any AST) on mogamulizumab-kpkc PK is unknown. Drug Interaction Studies No drug interaction studies have been conducted with POTELIGEO.

🔬 Clinical Studies ▾
14 CLINICAL STUDIES A randomized, open-label, multicenter trial (Study 0761-010; NCT01728805) evaluated the efficacy of POTELIGEO in adult patients with MF or SS after at least one prior systemic therapy. The trial randomized 372 patients 1:1 to either POTELIGEO (186 patients; 56% with MF, 44% with SS) or vorinostat (186 patients; 53% with MF, 47% with SS). The trial included patients regardless of tumor CCR4 expression status and excluded patients with histologic transformation, prior allogeneic HSCT, autologous HSCT within 90 days, active autoimmune disease, or active infection.
The trial required patients to have ANC ≥1,500/µL (≥1,000/µL if bone marrow was involved), platelet count ≥100,000/µL (≥75,000/µL if bone marrow was involved), creatinine clearance >50 mL/min or serum creatinine ≤1.5 mg/dL and hepatic transaminases ≤2.5 times ULN (≤5 times ULN if lymphomatous liver infiltration). The dose of POTELIGEO was 1 mg/kg administered intravenously over at least 60 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of the first 28-day cycle and on days 1 and 15 of each subsequent cycle. Vorinostat was dosed at 400 mg orally once daily, continuously for 28-day cycles.
Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Vorinostat-treated patients with disease progression or unacceptable toxicities were permitted to cross over to POTELIGEO. The median age was 64 years (range: 25 to 101), 58% of patients were male, and 70% were white.
At study baseline, 38% had stage IB-II disease, 10% stage III, and 52% stage IV. The median number of prior systemic therapies was 3. In the POTELIGEO arm, baseline CCR4 expression status by immunohistochemistry was available in 140 patients (75%), of whom all had CCR4 detected on ≥1% of lymphocytes on skin biopsy, and 134/140 (96%) had CCR4 detected on ≥10% of the lymphocytes.
CCR4 expression status was similar in the vorinostat arm. During randomized treatment, the median duration of exposure to POTELIGEO was 5.6 months (range: <1 to 45.3 months), with 48% of patients with at least 6 months of exposure and 23% with at least 12 months of exposure. The median duration of exposure to vorinostat was 2.8 months (range: <1 to 34.8 months), with 22% of patients with at least 6 months of exposure.
Efficacy was based on investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS), which was defined as the time from the date of randomization until documented progression of disease or death. Other efficacy measures included overall response rate (ORR) based on global composite response criteria that combine measures from each disease compartment (skin, blood, lymph nodes and viscera). Responses required confirmation at two successive disease assessments, which included the modified Severity Weighted Assessment Tool, skin photographs, central flow cytometry, and computed tomography.
The trial demonstrated that POTELIGEO significantly prolonged PFS compared to vorinostat (Table 3). The Kaplan-Meier curve for PFS by investigator is shown in Figure 1. The estimated median follow-up for investigator-assessed PFS was 13 months in the POTELIGEO arm and 10.4 months in the vorinostat arm.
By independent review committee assessment, the estimated median PFS was 6.7 months (95% CI, 5.6 to 9.4) in the POTELIGEO arm and 3.8 months (95% CI, 3.0 to 4.7) in the vorinostat arm (hazard ratio 0.64; 95% CI: 0.49, 0.84). Figure 1 Kaplan-Meier Curve for Progression-Free Survival per Investigator Table 3 also summarizes investigator-assessed confirmed response rates, overall and by disease compartment. The trial demonstrated improvement in ORR with POTELIGEO.
