  • Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma Research

    Do you have Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma (CTCL)?

    The Department of Dermatology at UConn Health is conducting a research study testing two concentrations of an investigational gel, resiquimod, compared to placebo (inactive substance), for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. In order to qualify, participants must have a clinical diagnosis of stage IA, IB, or IIA CTCL with at least three distinct patches, including one ‘distant’ patch that is at least 10 centimeters away from other patches. There is no cost to participate in this research study, and eligible participants will receive a travel allowance of $55.00 or $110.00 per completed trial visit.

    If you or someone you know is at least 18 years of age and has been diagnosed with stage IA, IB, or IIA cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, please contact:
