Filter by:Nasal/nasal type NK-T-cell lymphoma is a rare and severe type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) more frequent in Asia than in western countries. When localised, radiotherapy seems to be the best treatment. When radiotherapy cannot be used because of dissemination or relapse, chemotherapy protocols used for other types of NHL give poor results and survival is poor. Recently papers from China and Japan reported the efficacy of a drug: l-asparaginase, usually used to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In vitro a selective apoptosis of NK-cell tumours by l-asparaginase was shown on tumour cell lines and samples. The investigators propose a phase II protocol for patients with refractory or relapsing nasal/nasal type NK-T-cell lymphoma using a regimen combining l-asparaginase, methotrexate and dexamethasone. Biological studies will be conducted trying to find factors which could predict responses to this chemotherapy. Since january 2009, the study concerns all patients with nasal/nasal type NK-T-cell lymphoma who have not received asparaginase before.
The purpose of this study is to identify a well-tolerated, effective dose and schedule of AMG 531 for the treatment of Chemotherapy Induced Thrombocytopenia (CIT) in subjects with lymphoma receiving multi-cycle chemotherapy.
This is a Phase II pilot study evaluating the safety of a risk-adjusted outpatient-based approach to lymphoma salvage therapy with VGF (vinorelbine, gemcitabine and pegfilgrastim) and/or F-GIV (gemcitabine, Ifosfamide, vinorelbine and pegfilgrastim) in combination with Rituximab (R-VGF/R-F-GIV).
Sorafenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking blood flow to the cancer and by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This phase II trial is studying how well sorafenib works in treating patients with chemosensitive recurrent aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
The purpose of this study is to assess pegfilgrastim starting with the first cycle versus secondary prophylaxis on neutropenic events (including neutropenia +/- fever, dose delays, dose reductions, and hospitalizations) in older patients receiving chemotherapy.
Primary objectives - Assess the response rate in patients with recurrent or refractory B-cell NHL or Hodgkins disease, treated with the combination of the gemcitabine and irinotecan. Secondary objectives - Assess progression free survival in these patients treated with this regimen. - Assess toxicity of this regimen in this group of patients.
This is an open-label, multicenter, phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of single-agent AT-101 in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies.
Phase 2 study, conducted in patients with Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or mantle cell lymphoma undergoing high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as prednisolone and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells. It is not yet known whether prednisolone is more effective than dexamethasone when given together with combination chemotherapy in treating lymphoblastic lymphoma. PURPOSE: This phase III randomized clinical trial is studying prednisolone to see how well it works compared to dexamethasone when given together with combination chemotherapy in treating young patients with newly diagnosed lymphoblastic lymphoma.
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.
