- If not receiving anticoagulants: International normalized ratio (INR) OR prothrombin (PT) =< 1.5 x ULN (performed within 7 days prior to day 1 of protocol therapy unless otherwise stated)
- If on anticoagulant therapy: PT must be within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants (performed within 7 days prior to day 1 of protocol therapy unless otherwise stated)
- If not receiving anticoagulants: Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) =< 1.5 x ULN (performed within 7 days prior to day 1 of protocol therapy unless otherwise stated)
- If on anticoagulant therapy: aPTT must be within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants (performed within 7 days prior to day 1 of protocol therapy unless otherwise stated)
- Hepatitis C virus (HCV)*, active hepatitis B virus (HBV) (surface antigen negative), and syphilis (rapid plasma reagin [RPR]) - If positive, hepatitis C ribonucleic acid (RNA) quantitation must be performed
 
- Meets other institutional and federal requirements for infectious disease titer requirements - Note Infectious disease testing to be performed within 28 days prior to day 1 of protocol therapy
 
- Subjects with MF and a history of staphylococcus colonization are eligible provided they continue to receive stable doses of prophylactic antibiotics
- Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP): negative urine or serum pregnancy test If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required
- Agreement by females and males of childbearing potential* to use an effective method of birth control or abstain from heterosexual activity for the course of the study through at least 3 months after the last dose of protocol therapy - Childbearing potential defined as not being surgically sterilized (men and women) or have not been free from menses for > 1 year (women only)
 
Exclusion Criteria:

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Treatment (ECP, mogamulizumab)
Patients receive mogamulizumab IV over 60 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, 22, of cycle 1 and days 1 and 15 of subsequent cycles. Beginning in cycle 2, patients also undergo ECP over 3 hours on days 8, 9, 22,and 23. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving CR)/PR after 6 cycles receive up to 6 additional cycles of treatment in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
