Filter by:The purpose of this research is to compare reactions and antibody responses following receipt of different doses of the experimental influenza vaccine or standard influenza vaccine.
This phase II trial is studying how well PXD101 works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. PXD101 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the cancer.
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as epratuzumab and rituximab, can block cancer 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-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving monoclonal antibody therapy together with chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells.> PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving monoclonal antibody therapy together with combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with stage II, stage III, or stage IV diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
The purpose of the study is to determine the tolerability, the initial safety profile and maximum tolerated dose, and to obtain preliminary information on the antitumor activity of inotuzumab ozogamicin [CMC-544] in combination with rituximab in subjects with follicular, diffuse large B-Cell, or mantle cell NHL.
This phase I trial is studying the best dose of 3-AP and the side effects of giving 3-AP together with gemcitabine in treating patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 3-AP and gemcitabine (GEM), work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. 3-AP may help gemcitabine kill more cancer cells by making the cells more sensitive to the drug. 3-AP may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The overall goal of this clinical research study was to find out which of two different chemotherapy drug combinations, R-CHOP and R-HCVAD, is more effective in treating B-cell lymphoma. At this point, all participants will now be assigned to the R-HCVAD arm of the study. Researchers will study the safety and effectiveness of this drug combination.
Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as CCI-779, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. This phase II trial is studying how well CCI-779 works in treating patients with recurrent or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Early identification of refractory lymphoma patients provides a basis for stratification between responders to standard approaches and non-responders who may benefit from an early change to an alternative treatment strategy.Metabolic or molecular imaging with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG-PET) has emerged as a powerful imaging modality for diagnosis, staging, and therapy monitoring of a variety of cancers. The primary hypothesis of the present study is that early response can be pinpointed by PET reflecting both tumor burden and activity, as a surrogate for final outcome. An increasing number of studies have suggested the potential role of 18F-FDG PET in the staging and monitoring of lymphomas. The optimal timing of PET scans and the potential role of quantitative PET using SUV to assess response to chemotherapy remain to be defined. Confirmation of very early 18F-FDG-PET as a significant predictor of treatment response in a homogenous group of aggressive lymphoma patients would potentially change the prognosis of the patient by allowing earlier use of alternative therapies and discontinuation of therapy that will not lead to a significant tumour response.
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vorinostat when given together with decitabine in treating patients with advanced solid tumors or relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphocytic leukemia, or chronic myelogenous leukemia. Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as decitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving vorinostat together with decitabine may kill more cancer cells.
The purpose of the research study is to learn whether external beam radiation can be used as a safe and effective treatment for patients with bulky (≥ 5cm) sites of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma prior to treatment with 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin).
