Filter by:Evaluation of the efficacy, tolerance, quality of life and cost effectiveness of the association of Oxaliplatin, Gemcitabine, Rituximab and Dexamethasone for treatment of patients with refractory or relapsing non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
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.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether combined chemotherapy [rituximab plus high dosage methotrexate, lomustine, and procarbazine] followed by maintenance therapy with procarbazine is effective in the treatment of cerebral Non Hodgkin lymphoma [PCNSL] in patients > 65 years.
One risk of a stem cell transplant is that the donated stem cells do not grow in the recipient. This is called graft rejection. Previous laboratory research has suggested that the reaction between the recipient's cells and the donor's cells that causes graft rejection is associated with an anti-cancer effect. In this research study the investigators will give participants some of their own white blood cells after their transplant. This is called a recipient leukocyte infusion (RLI). This is done to cause the participant's immune system to react against the donor's cells and reject the transplant. The purpose of this research study is to learn if the graft rejection has an anti-cancer effect.
The purpose of this study is to assess preliminary efficacy and to determine the safety and feasibility of ex vivo generated dendritic cell (HDC) infusion with and without donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) after allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT). We also wish to establish the feasibility of apheresis shipment as well as vaccine shipment and stability in the population.
The purpose of the study is to create a prospective database of T-Lymphoblastic Lymphoma (T-LBL) cases in order to conduct an appropriate statistical study as well as to monitor diagnosis and minimal residual disease (MRD), to detect specific genetic profile useful to give advices on therapies, to assess if PET has a prognostic validity on T-Lymphoblastic Lymphoma (T-LBL).
The purpose of this study is to investigate the ability to combine a radioactive medication directly targeted against lymphoma cells with the immune effects of an allogeneic blood stem cell transplant.
All patients are treated according to the same therapy regimen. Therapy duration (number of cycles) and radiotherapy vary according to age group, stage and response. Chemotherapy consists of a pre-phase-treatment (for all patients) and varying A, B and C cycles. Therapy for Patients in the 18-55 Age Group - Patients in stages III-IV and all patients with mediastinal tumors or extranodal involvement are administered 6 cycles (A1, B1, A2, B2, A3, B3). - Chemotherapy is stopped after 4 cycles (A1, B1, A2, B2) for patients with stage I/ II if a clear CR has been achieved and there is initially no mediastinal or extranodal involvement. - In cases of refractory or progressive disease after 4 cycles, study therapy is stopped. These patients are to be given salvage therapy with subsequent stem cell transplantation. Therapy for Patients older than 55 years - The course corresponds to that of patients in the younger age group, but the regimen is dose reduced (A1*, B1*,A2*, B2*, A3*, B3*). Antibody therapy with anti-CD20 is to be administered on day 1 of each chemotherapy cycle (A, B). After end of chemotherapy (6 or 4 cycles) 2 more cycles of anti-CD 20 are to be administered to reach a total number of 8 resp. 6 cycles antibody therapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether combined chemotherapy [rituximab plus high dosage methotrexate (max. 2 cycles) followed by arabinoside/thiotepa (max. 2 cycles) followed by high dosage carmustin/thiotepa] followed by peripheral blood stem cell transplantation is effective in the treatment of cerebral Non Hodgkin lymphoma [PCNSL].
Blood and lymph node cancers can begin in either the lymphatic tissues (as in the case of lymphoma) or in the bone marrow (as with leukemia and myeloma), and they all are involved with the uncontrolled growth of white blood cells. There are many subtypes of these cancers, e.g., chronic lymphocytic leukemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Since there is evidence that these cancers cluster in families, this study aims to understand how genetics and environmental exposures contribute to the development of these cancers.
