Filter by:This study will assess RAD001 in patients with refractory or relapsed Hodgkin Lymphoma that has progressed after high-dose chemotherapy and Autologous Stem cell transplant and/or after gemcitabine- or vinorelbine- or vinblastine-based treatment.
A phase II study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and hematopoietic stem cell mobilization of TG-0054 in patients with multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma or Hodgkin disease.
RATIONALE: Valproic acid may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It may also help cancer cells become more like normal cells, and grow and spread more slowly. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well valproic acid works in treating patients with previously treated non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
This study is designed to test the the protective capacity of Goserelin compared with oral contraceptive
The Gruppo Italiano Studio Linfomi has been collecting data on patients with Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) since 1988. This archive represents a homogeneous series of consecutive patients with HL. The very long follow up and the availability of clinical and treatment data make it feasible to perform a study on the gonadal toxicity related to treatment for HL.
This phase II trial studies autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant followed by donor bone marrow transplant in treating patients with high-risk Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Autologous stem cell transplantation uses the patient's stem cells and does not cause graft versus host disease (GVHD) and has a very low risk of death, while minimizing the number of cancer cells. Peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplant uses stem cells from the patient or a donor and may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy. These donated stem cells may help destroy cancer cells. Bone marrow transplant known as a nonmyeloablative transplant uses stem cells from a haploidentical family donor. Autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant followed by donor bone marrow transplant may work better in treating patients with high-risk Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
RATIONALE: Imaging procedures, such as positron emission tomography or computed tomography, may help in detecting differences between Hodgkin lymphoma or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cancer cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying positron emission tomogaphy and computed tomography in determining differences in Hodgkin lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vorinostat when given together with bortezomib in treating young patients with refractory or recurrent solid tumors, including CNS tumors and lymphoma. Vorinostat and bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.
Combined modality therapy has then emerged as the standard of care for limited-stage Hodgkin's lymphoma and doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD) chemotherapy that is devoid of alkylating agents and associated with a low potential for gonadal toxicity and leukemogenesis, is currently considered a gold standard. Nevertheless, the disadvantage to combine radiotherapy to ABVD is represented by late cardiovascular events (myocardial dysfunction and coronary or valvular disease), especially when the heart is within the radiation field; bleomycin pulmonary toxicity also is increased in conjunction with RT and secondary tumors, in particular in the RT fields. This study aims at treating patients with limited disease with multiagent chemotherapy alone, without irradiation, and using radiotherapy only for relapses.
The purpose of this study is to find out how many irradiated natural killer (NK) cells can be safely given to patients with cancer that has recurred after an autologous stem cell transplant, and to see what effects (good and bad) it has on the patient and their cancer. This research is being done because currently, there is no cure or effective treatment for blood-borne cancers when it has come back after an autologous stem cell transplant.
