Filter by:Patients who are newly diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma will undergo disease staging at diagnosis and initial treatment response assessment. At each time point (initial staging and treatment response assessment) in addition to standard imaging investigations (PET CT, Chest CT, anatomical MRI of the abdomen and pelvis and abdominal USS), patients will undergo an extended MRI scan.
This Phase II study is to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Mobilization of TG-0054 alone or in combination with G-CSF in Patients with Multiple Myeloma, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma or Hodgkin Disease.
The purpose of this trial is 1. to determine the recommended dose of everolimus for a subsequent Phase II trial 2. to determine the efficacy of everolimus plus DHAP
The purpose of this study is to determine the side effects of treatment with the monoclonal antibody anti-PD-L1 (BMS-936559) in subjects with compromised bone marrow function and the dose that should be recommended for use in future studies.
Patients have a type of a lymph node cancer called lymphoma, a tumor of the nasal passages called nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), a tumor of a particular type of muscle called leiomyosarcoma (LMS) or a condition called severe chronic active EBV (SCAEBV) syndrome. The disease has come back, may come back or has not gone away after treatment. This voluntary research study uses special immune system cells called LMP-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes, a new experimental therapy. Some patients with these diseases show evidence of infection with the virus that causes infectious mononucleosis (called Epstein-Barr virus, or EBV) before or at the time of their diagnosis. EBV is found in the cancer cells of up to half of the patients with lymphomas, and in some cases of NPC and LMS, suggesting that it may play a role in causing these diseases. Those cancer cells (as well as some B cells in SCAEBV) that are infected by EBV are able to hide from the body's immune system and escape destruction. We want to see if special white blood cells, called T cells, that have been trained to kill cells infected by EBV can survive in the blood and affect the tumor. This treatment with specially trained T cells has had activity against these viruses when the cells are made from patients with those diseases (or, after bone marrow transplant, from the patient's transplant donor). However, sometimes it is not possible to grow these cells; other times, it may take 2 to 3 months to make the cells, which may be too long when one has an active tumor. We are therefore asking if subjects would like to participate in this study, which tests if blood cells from a donor that is a partial match with the subject (or the transplant donor) that have been grown in the way described above can survive in the blood and affect the disease. These LMP-specific CTLs are an investigational product not approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
This phase II trial studies how well cyclophosphamide works in preventing chronic graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant in patients with hematological malignancies. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before transplantation helps stop the growth of cancer cells and prevents the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. Healthy stem cells from a donor that are infused into the patient help the patient's bone marrow make blood cells; red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes, however, the transplanted donor cells can cause an immune response against the body's normal cells, which is called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Giving cyclophosphamide after transplant may prevent this from happening or may make chronic GVHD less severe.
Determine the safety and tolerability of POL6326 when used as a single mobilization agent.
Management of patients with recurring Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) after stem cell transplantation failure represents a typical unmet medical need prompting active development and validation of new agents and treatment strategies. The LEBEN protocol combines two agents, lenalidomide and bendamustine, framing different targets on both tumor and microenvironmental cells of HL. These agents, while showing a low risk of overlapping extrahematologic toxicities, may hit the proliferation machinery of H-RS cells and/or their progenitors, synergistically inhibit tumor-related angiogenesis and interfere on cytokine-mediate circuitries operating in the microenvironment to support tumor cell survival. A weekly schedule of bendamustine, at 60 mg/m2, is combined with the continuous administration of increasing dose of lenalidomide (10, 15, 20 e 25 mg dose levels in a 28-day cycle). Such schedule of Bendamustine is aimed at enhancing the antiangiogenic and immunomodulatory activity of continuous Lenalidomide, as studies have shown that low and protracted doses of alkylators induce a decrease in microvascular density of tumor tissues and inhibit mobilization and viability of circulating endothelial progenitors. The Bayesian phase 1/2 dose finding method of Thall and Cook was employed. This method chooses doses based-on both response and toxicity, and accounts for the trade-off between these two outcomes.
This trial will use two cord blood units for transplantation using a reduced intensity regimen rather than using intense doses of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Two cord blood units (double cord blood) are being used, as the numbers of blood cells in one unit are too few to allow successful growth of these cells. Because the risk of infection, particularly virus infection, is high after double cord blood transplant, this study seeks to reduce the rise of virus infection by using a reduced intensity regimen without a medicine called antithymocyte globulin (ATG), as used in prior cord blood transplants. Subjects will receive two chemotherapy drugs, melphalan and fludarabine, and low dose of total body radiation (one treatment) instead of the ATG. The number of patients with virus infections in this study will be compared to our prior experience using the ATG.
This is a clinical research study of interferon (IFN) plus chemotherapy with the standard combination of Adriamycin, Bleomycin, Velban, and Dacarbazine (ABVD). The treatment will be given to patients with Hodgkin's disease. The study will look at whether adding IFN to ABVD improves the immune response against Hodgkin's disease, and will determine whether the toxicity of ABVD is increased by adding IFN.
