“…The most common skin-directed and systemic therapies were topical corticosteroids (60%) and oral bexarotene (16%), respectively. Furthermore, a report from the Jefferson Multi-Disciplinary Cutaneous Lymphoma Clinic also indicated that CL gel is generally used in combination with other therapies, including class 1 topical steroids, narrowband ultraviolet B, psoralen and ultraviolet A, imiquimod, and pimecrolimus [ 23 ]. In all three cases presented here, CL gel was combined with IFNα treatment.…”

“…In the view of the authors, treatment frequency of one to two times per week may be considered for maintenance therapy of residual/responding lesions. Application of chlormethine gel up to four times per week as maintenance therapy has been reported in the USA [19]. Maintenance therapy should be performed for each lesion in a symptom‐oriented manner and may include skin care, therapy‐free periods and TCS application.…”

“…Based on the experience of the consensus group, the use of chlormethine gel once daily right from the beginning is not well tolerated by many patients. Therefore, other therapy intervals are also used in practice to increase initial tolerability of the therapy and to gradually reach the best tolerated dose in each individual case [19]. One possibility is to start with an interval therapy with chlormethine gel therapy days separated by one or more therapy-free days.…”

“…Nach Erfahrung der Konsensusgruppe wird die von Beginn an einmal tägliche Anwendung von Chlormethin‐Gel von vielen Patienten nicht gut toleriert. In der Praxis werden daher auch andere Therapieintervalle gewählt, um die initiale Verträglichkeit der Therapie zu erhöhen und schrittweise die individuell am besten zu vertragende Dosis zu erreichen [19]. Eine Möglichkeit ist, mit einer Intervalltherapie zu beginnen, bei der zwischen den Therapietagen mit Chlormethin‐Gel ein oder mehrere Tage mit Therapiepause liegen, gegebenenfalls mit einer anderen begleitenden Therapie an den Chlormethin‐Gel‐freien Tagen (siehe Abschnitt Begleittherapie).…”

“…Für die Erhaltungstherapie kann nach Meinung der Autoren eine Behandlungshäufigkeit von ein bis zwei Mal pro Woche für residuale/ansprechende Läsionen erwogen werden. Aus den USA werden auch von bis zu vier Anwendungen von Chlormethin‐Gel pro Woche als Erhaltungstherapie berichtet [19]. Die Erhaltungstherapie sollte läsional symptomorientiert erfolgen und kann Hautpflegemaßnahmen, Therapiepausen und TCS‐ Gabe mit einbeziehen.…”
