Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the tolerability, pharmacokinetics and antitumor effect of bendamustine hydrochloride (SyB L-0501) in patients with indolent B-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
Primary Objectives: 1. To evaluate the efficacy of Zevalin for the treatment of low-grade follicular Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the orbit or mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) of conjunctiva using radiographic imaging, clinical examination (slit lamp biomicroscopy and external examination of the conjunctiva), and external photography whenever possible. 2. To establish the safety profile in this patient population using clinical examination including slit lamp biomicroscopy, and evaluation of the tear film with Schirmer's test. 3. To establish the dosimetry for Zevalin in the orbit in the first 3 patients who agree to undergo dosimetry.
This study investigates toxicity and efficacy of 2 x R-DHAP followed by High dose chemotherapy R-TEC and autologous stem cell transplantation in patients with relapsed or refractory aggressive Non- Hodgkins's Lymphoma.
This is a Phase III, multicenter, global, open-label, single-arm, retreatment study of an investigational drug called galiximab in combination with an approved drug called rituximab in subjects with relapsed or refractory, follicular NHL who demonstrated a response on Study 114-NH-301 with a time-to-progression >=6 months.
This study will treat follicular lymphoma patients who have not received previous treatment with R-CVP. Half of the patients will receive Zevalin after R-CVP and the other half will receive only R-CVP. The two patient groups will be compared to determine if Zevalin given after R-CVP therapy provides greater benefits than receiving no additional anti-cancer therapy after R-CVP.
FR901228 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell to grow and by blocking blood flow to the cancer. This phase II trial is studying how well FR901228 works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
The purpose of this study is to obtain blood (up to 90 ml or 18-teaspoonfuls on one or two occasions) to make LMP1- and LMP2-cytotoxic T-lymphocytes and grow them in the laboratory in such a way that they are able to attack LMP1- and LMP2-positive cells in the laboratory. If we are successful in growing these cells and if we feel they would be helpful to the donor, we would then give the cells back to the donor. This trial is for patients that have a type of lymph gland cancer called Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or chronic active Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infection, which has come back or not gone away after treatment, including the best treatment we know. This is a research study using special immune system cells called LMP1- and LMP2-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (LMP1- and LMP2-CTLs), a new experimental therapy. As in chronic active EBV infection, some patients with Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma show evidence of infection with the virus that causes infectious mononucleosis (EBV) before or at the time of their diagnosis of the Lymphoma. EBV is found in the cancer cells of up to half the patients with lymphoma, suggesting that it may play a role in causing lymphoma. The cancer cells 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 EBV infected cells can survive in the patient's blood and affect EBV-positive cells. In this present study we are trying to find out if we can improve this treatment by growing T cells that only recognize two of the proteins expressed on lymphoma cells called LMP1 and LMP2. These special T cells are called LMP1- and LMP2-specific cytotoxic CTLs.
Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are neoplasias from post-thymic T-cells at different stages of differentiation and are a heterogeneous group of malignancies which present with different morphological patterns, phenotypes, and clinical presentations. These tumours have a striking epidemiological distribution with a lower incidence in Western countries than in Asia. In Korea, PTCLs including T- or natural killer (NK)-cell lymphomas constitute approximately 25 to 35% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. This incidence is quite similar to that of other Eastern Asian countries, including Japan, Hong Kong, and China. Recent studies suggest that the T-cell phenotype is an independent significant prognostic factor, with PTCLs having one of the lowest overall survival and failure-free survival rates. Based on the investigator's experience, the overall complete remission rate was 61.2% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 48.5-72.8%) and the 5-year probability of failure-free survival was 33.5%. Median survival of all patients was 45 months (range 0-64+ months) and the 5-year probability of survival was 36.2%. Rassidakis et al. reported that expression of pro-apoptotic proteins BAX and BCL-XS, may explain the poor response of many types of PTCL to standard chemotherapy. To overcome such poor outcome, the optimal therapy for PTCLs remains to be defined. However, because of the rarity of the disease in Western countries, only a few trials have been reported. Bortezomib (Velcade) is a modified dipeptidyl boronic acid, and a reversible inhibitor of the chymotrypsin-like activity of the 26S proteosome. Bortezomib may induce tumor cell apoptosis or decreased bcl-2 associated drug resistance. Through phase II studies, single agent bortezomib in patients with relapsed indolent and mantle cell lymphomas showed its activity. And also preliminary data indicate that bortezomib can be safely administered in combination with dose adjusted etoposide, prednisolone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin (EPOCH) chemotherapy. Therefore, it can be possible to improve the poor outcome of patients with PTCLs by a combination of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisolone (CHOP) with bortezomib as a first-line therapy. Primary Hypothesis: Based on the clinical trials and experimental data, bortezomib can overcome pro-apoptotic proteins BAX and BCL-XS induced drug resistance.
RATIONALE: CT-322 may stop the growth of solid tumors or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma by stopping blood flow to the cancer. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects of CT-322 in treating patients with advanced solid tumors or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Bortezomib 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. Monoclonal antibodies, such as 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. Giving bortezomib together with rituximab may kill more cancer cells. This phase II trial is studying how well giving bortezomib together with rituximab works as first-line therapy in treating patients with low-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
