The information contained in this Clinical Trials Resource Guide includes actively recruiting clinical studies for patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed or refractory lymphoma of the skin. The studies include observational, phase I, and phase II trials investigating single-agent and combination chemotherapies, extracorporeal photopheresis, graft-vs-host disease in photodynamic treatment, focal radiation therapy, nonmyeloablative hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and high-throughput sequencing. There are also studies investigating tissue and blood banking protocols and the development of a patient registry to collect and store tissue samples from patients with rare or cutaneous non-Hodgkin lymphoma. All of the studies are listed on the National Institutes of Health website at ClinicalTrials.gov.
