Filter by:The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad; rituximab, ifosfamide, carboplatin and etoposide (RICE) followed by gallium nitrate, rituximab and dexamethasone (GARD) have on diffuse large B cell lymphoma. This research is being done to try to find a more effective treatment for this type of cancer. We want to know whether treatment with rituximab, ifosfamide, carboplatin and etoposide (RICE) then followed by gallium nitrate, rituximab and dexamethasone (GARD) will improve survival. Rituximab, ifosfamide, carboplatin and etoposide (RICE) are part of the usual treatment for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Gallium nitrate, rituximab and dexamethasone (GARD) in lymphoma is experimental.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the application of low dose total body irradiation following chemo-immuntherapy in elderly patients with aggressive with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma would be safe and potentially benecicial adjuvant therapy
A phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination bendamustine and rituximab in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. It is hypothesized that the BR combination will produce at least a 70% overall response rate.
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer cell growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer cell-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Se-methyl-seleno-l-cysteine may help reduce the side effects of chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of Se-methyl-seleno-l-cysteine when given together with rituximab, ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide and to see how well it works in treating patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that has relapsed or not responded to treatment.
This research is being done to see if a PET scan that is obtained after 3 cycles of a standard chemotherapy regimen can help guide treatment for patients with a blood disease called Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The standard treatment for newly diagnosed lymphoma is 6 to 8 cycles of chemotherapy like the CHOP combination (Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, and Prednisone). This regimen can cure about half of patients with lymphoma, but in many others disease relapses (comes back). Relapses are generally treated with more chemotherapy. We believe that a PET scan (a type of imaging study that "lights up" in areas of cells with high activity such as lymphoma), may identify patients early who are at high risk of relapse. The purpose of this research study is to find out if people whose treatment is changed early to an intensification regimen (high dose chemotherapy) based on a positive PET scan will have longer remissions than they would if they did not receive that high dose chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the anti-tumor activity of alisertib (MLN8237) in participants with relapsed or refractory non-hodgkin's lymphoma.
Evaluation of event free survival (EFS) of patients treated with the study chemotherapy induction program: R-CHOP compared to the standard R-CVP regimen and response rates, time to best response, PFS, OS, neutropenic fever rate, infection rate, change in Ig levels, change in lymphocyte subpopulations counts in previously untreated indolent lymphoma patients in need of systemic treatment.
This prospective trial will assess the activity and feasibility of a new high-dose methotrexate-based high-dose sequential chemotherapy combination in patients with B-cell lymphomas and CNS involvement at diagnosis or relapse. Selected drugs, with a well-documented anti-lymphoma activity, will be administered at high doses to increase blood-brain barrier penetration and CNS bioavailability as well as to reduce potential cross-resistance.
This phase II multi-institutional trial will explore the safety and efficacy of lenalidomide monotherapy given as maintenance therapy following salvage chemo-immunotherapy in patients with relapsed or refractory chemosensitive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
RATIONALE: A personalized Internet-based program may help improve fatigue, depression, and quality of life in long-term survivors of stem cell transplant. It is not yet known whether an Internet-based program is more effective with or without telephone-based problem-solving training. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well an Internet-based program works with or without telephone-based problem-solving training in helping long-term survivors of hematopoietic stem cell transplant cope with late complications
