There are few studies summarizing oral (PO) therapies for MF and SS. We aim to discuss the efficacy and safety of FDA-approved, off-label, and investigational oral therapies for MF and SS. FDA-approved oral therapies include bexarotene and vorinostat, both of which are effective in patients who are recalcitrant to prior topical therapies. Off-label oral therapies include methotrexate, acitretin, and chlorambucil. Methotrexate improves MF lesions in both early-stage and late-stage MF and is effective in erythrodermic MF. A combination of acitretin with phototherapy may lead to better response rates compared to acitretin monotherapy. Chlorambucil is mainly used to treat erythrodermic MF. Investigational oral therapies for MF include tenalisib, duvelisib, cerdulatinib, lenalidomide, bortezomib, and azacytidine, and direct comparison studies between these investigational agents and FDA-approved therapies should be undertaken to better understand their role in the management of MF and SS.</p>","PeriodicalId":15403,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery","volume":" ","pages":"12034754251322881"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143605031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lesions of calcinosis are often painful, prone to ulceration, and significantly impair quality of life. Despite the clinical impact, no effective treatments have been established to date, making prevention of this condition a critical priority. In this narrative review, we explore the evidence suggesting that calcium supplementation may contribute to skin calcification. Calcium supplements have been demonstrated to transiently elevate plasma calcium levels, potentially promoting dystrophic tissue calcification-a process that may be exacerbated in a context of magnesium and vitamin K2 deficiencies. Furthermore, calcium supplementation has been associated with an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events; this concern is particularly relevant in patients with autoimmune diseases who already face elevated cardiovascular comorbidity. Notably, there is no robust evidence supporting the efficacy of calcium supplementation in preventing osteoporosis. Instead, sufficient dietary intake of calcium and protein, along with the supplementation of micronutrients critical for calcium homeostasis (magnesium, zinc, vitamin D<sub>3</sub>, and vitamin K<sub>2</sub>), should be considered as alternatives to calcium supplementation.</p>","PeriodicalId":15403,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery","volume":" ","pages":"12034754251320640"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143605143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
