The RESMAIN trial by Rudolf Stadler and colleagues, published in The Lancet Haematology, showed that resminostat maintenance therapy significantly prolonged median progression-free survival (median 8·3 months, 95% CI 4·2–15·7) compared with placebo (4·2 months, 2·8–6·4) in patients with advanced-stage mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome.1 These diseases are characterised by repeated cycles of remission and relapse. Therefore, progression-free survival does not carry the same clinical implications as in acute leukaemia or solid tumours, in which relapse is often associated with worse survival.
The Lancet Haematology published a clinical update in Oncology on 01 Apr 2026.
