Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose, pharmacokinetics, and anti-neoplastic response of AVN-944 in patients with advanced hematologic malignancies.
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).
This 2 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of the standard chemotherapy of the East German Study Group for Hematology and Oncology versus standard chemotherapy plus MabThera (375mg/m2 iv, once monthly for 8 cycles) in patients with indolent non-Hodgkin's and mantle cell lymphoma. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
Comparison of rituximab versus Iodine I 131 Tositumomab Therapeutic Regimen (Tositumomab and Iodine I 131 Tositumomab or the Bexxar Therapeutic Regimen, formerly called Iodine-131 Anti-B1 Antibody) in subjects with follicular non Hodgkins B cell lymphoma. 506 subjects will be enrolled at 30 to 40 sites in the US, Canada, and Europe. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment arms. In Arm A, subjects will receive 375 milligrams/meter2 (mg/m2 )of rituximab, given as an intravenous (IV) infusion once weekly for 4 weeks. In Arm B, subjects will undergo a two-phase treatment. In the first phase, termed the "dosimetric dose," subjects will receive an infusion of unlabeled Tositumomab (450 mg) immediately followed by an infusion of 5 millicuries (mCi) (0.18 gigabecquerel [GBq]) of Iodine 131 Tositumomab (35 mg). Whole body gamma camera scans will be obtained three times (Day 0; Day 2, 3, or 4; and Day 6 or 7) following the dosimetric dose. The information derived from the scans will enable a patient specific dose to be calculated to deliver the desired total body dose of radiation (65 or 75 centigray [cGy]). In the second phase, termed the "therapeutic dose," subjects in Arm B will receive an infusion of unlabeled Tositumomab (450 mg) immediately followed by an infusion of the subject specific activity of Iodine 131-conjugated Tositumomab (35 mg). Thyroid blockade will be implemented 24 hours prior to the dosimetric dose and continued for 14 days following the therapeutic dose. Subjects on study will be followed for response and safety at Week 7, Week 13, and every three months for the first and second year, every six months for the third year, and then annually for the forth and fifth years; and then for vital status, additional therapy, and long term safety events through year ten. Follow Up after subsequent NHL therapy will be carried out to assess tolerance of next anti-lymphoma therapy, development of myelodysplasia (MDS)/acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), HAMA or hypothyroidism, unexpected safety issues, and death.
This is a single arm, multi-center, expanded access study of Iodine I 131 Tositumomab (BEXXAR) therapeutic regimen for patients with relapsed or refractory low-grade or transformed low-grade non-Hodgkin's B-cell lymphoma. The primary objective is to make Iodine I 131 Tositumomab more broadly available to patients. Secondary endpoints will be to obtain additional safety and efficacy information for this treatment regimen. Post study drug administration follow-ups will continue for up to ten years. These will include blood-work and adverse event assessments for 13 weeks post dosing, patient response evaluations at Week 13, Months 6, 12, 18, 24, and Long-Term Follow-ups every 6 months until the elapse of 5 years from the dosimetric dose and then annually thereafter through year 10. Thyroid function will be monitored annually during Long-term follow-up.
* AIMS OF THE STUDY 1. To test if steroid-free chemotherapeutic regimens decrease the risk of HBV reactivation and hepatitis development in HBsAg (+) carriers. 2. To compare the efficacy of steroid-free chemotherapeutic regimens with that of steroid-containing regimens in terms of lymphoma control. 3. To study the change of activity of HBV and other hepatotropic viruses during the course of chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of once- weekly dosing of PROCRIT® (a glycoprotein that stimulates red blood cell production) versus placebo in the treatment of anemia in children with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, and to assess its effect on the quality of life.
Tapestry Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has developed a novel taxane analog, TPI 287. TPI 287 is synthetically manufactured from naturally occurring taxanes extracted from yew starting material. The synthesis involves modification to the taxane side chain to overcome multidrug resistance and to achieve mutant tubulin binding. This study will be a multi-center, dose escalation, sequential group, Phase 1 study evaluating the intravenous administration of TPI 287 on an every 21 day cycle.
This phase II trial is studying how well vorinostat works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vorinostat, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Vorinostat may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The main purpose of this study is to determine the effects (good and bad) and the safety of Dynavax's immunostimulatory phosphorothiolate oligodeoxyribonucleotide (1018 ISS) given in combination with Rituxan on patients with B-cell follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This research is being done because recurrent follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is not curable with standard chemotherapy or antibody treatments. 1018 ISS is an experimental compound that consists of short pieces of DNA that stimulate the immune system. It is hoped that 1018 ISS may improve the ability of Rituxan to kill cancer cells.
