Overview
In this pilot study, pembrolizumab will be administered via DoseConnect in patient with relapsed or refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphoma to assess through pharmacodynamic assessment in the tumor tissue to assess if lymphatic delivery of pembrolizumab using Sofusa DoseConnect is feasible.
Description
This is an open-label, single-center pilot study to investigate the pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and activity of pembrolizumab administered intra-lymphatically using the DoseConnect in participants with relapsed or refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL).
All participants will receive the study intervention, pembrolizumab administered intralymphatically using the Sofusa DoseConnect device.

- Prior allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or solid organ transplantation.
- Known seropositive for or have active infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) or hepatitis B virus (HBV), or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
