Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well total-body irradiation, donor lymphocyte infusion, and cyclophosphamide before donor stem cell transplant works in treating patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies. Giving total-body irradiation, donor lymphocyte infusion, and chemotherapy before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer and abnormal cells and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When certain stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Removing the T cells from the donor cells before transplant and giving tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil may stop this from happening.
This clinical trial studies quality of life in caregivers of hospitalized older patients with cancer.
RATIONALE: Placing a tumor antigen chimeric receptor that has been created in the laboratory into patient autologous or donor-derived T cells may make the body build immune response to kill cancer cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying genetically engineered lymphocyte therapy in treating patients with B-cell leukemia or lymphoma that is relapsed (after stem cell transplantation or intensive chemotherapy) or refractory to chemotherapy.
This pilot clinical trial studies supportive care for patients with hematological malignancies undergoing hematopoietic cell transplant. Supportive care may improve quality of life in this patient population.
RATIONALE: Placing a gene that has been created in the laboratory into white blood cells may make the body build an immune response to kill cancer cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying genetically engineered lymphocyte therapy in treating patients with B-cell leukemia or lymphoma that is resistant or refractory to chemotherapy.
This clinical trial studies how well donor stem cell boost works in treating patients with low blood cells after donor stem cell transplant. Donor stem cell boost may increase low blood cell counts caused by hematologic cancer or its treatment.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best way to give brentuximab vedotin and to see how well it works after donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Monoclonal antibodies, such as brentuximab vedotin, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Monoclonal antibodies may kill cancer cells that are left after donor stem cell transplant.
RATIONALE: Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and the best dose of carfilzomib in treating patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia(CLL),small lymphocytic lymphoma(SLL), or prolymphocytic leukemia (PLL).
RATIONALE: Infection prophylaxis and management may help prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection caused by a stem cell transplant. PURPOSE:This clinical trial studies infection prophylaxis and management in treating cytomegalovirus infection in patients with hematologic malignancies previously treated with donor stem cell transplant.
This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving fludarabine phosphate, busulfan, anti-thymocyte globulin followed by donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant, tacrolimus, and methotrexate works in treating patients with myeloid malignancies. Giving chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate and busulfan, before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving anti-thymocyte globulin before transplant and tacrolimus and methotrexate after transplant may stop this from happening.
