Filter by:RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan 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. A peripheral stem cell transplant may be able to replace blood-forming cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy. Giving white blood cells, that have been treated in the laboratory with antibodies, may make the transplant work better. Giving combination chemotherapy followed by an autologous stem cell transplant, and white blood cell infusions may be an effective treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of white blood cell infusions when given together with combination chemotherapy, and autologous stem cell transplant in treating patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that has relapsed, is refractory, or is in remission.
This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well giving rituximab and dexamethasone together works in treating patients with low-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). 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. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving rituximab together with dexamethasone may kill more cancer cells
RATIONALE: BI 2536 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of BI 2536 in treating patients with refractory or relapsed advanced non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
The purpose of this study is to determine if peripheral blood cells collected following AMD3100 mobilization can be used safely for hematopoietic cell transplantation into HLA-matched recipients.
This is a study for the long-term follow-up of patients who completed at least two years of follow-up after treatment with Tositumomab and/or Iodine I 131 Tositumomab (BEXXAR)on Study RIT-I-000, RIT-II-001, RIT-II-002, RIT-II-004 or CP-97-012. All patients will be assessed for survival and disease status, including subsequent therapy for NHL, and for long term safety. Laboratory evaluations consisting of a TSH level (for all patients) and a complete blood cell (CBC) count with a differential and platelet count (for patients in continuing response only) will be obtained annually through Year 10 post treatment with Tositumomab and/or Iodine I 131 Tositumomab. Patients that remain in response to their previous treatment with BEXXAR, will additionally be followed radiographically for response and progression.
This is a multi-center study for the long-term follow-up of surviving patients who are expected to complete or who have completed at least two years of follow-up after treatment with Iodine I 131 Tositumomab (BEXXAR) on Studies CP-97-011, CP-98-025, CP-99-032, or CP-99-036. All patients will be assessed for survival and disease status, including subsequent therapy for NHL, and for long-term safety. Additionally Laboratory evaluations consisting of a TSH level and a complete blood cell (CBC) count with a differential and platelet count will be obtained annually. Additionally, patients who remain in long-term response following Iodine I 131 Tositumomab treatment will be followed for response and progression.
This study will further characterize the activity of Tositumomab and Iodine I 131-Tositumomab in patients with relapsed indolent non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma who have progressed following treatment with rituximab.
RATIONALE: Chemotherapy, such as busulfan, melphalan, and thiotepa, may destroy cancerous blood-forming cells (stem cells) in the blood and bone marrow. Giving the patient their healthy stem cells will help their bone marrow make new stem cells that become red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well busulfan, melphalan, and thiotepa work in treating patients who are undergoing an autologous stem cell transplant for Hodgkin's or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy 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. Giving chemotherapy with an autologous stem cell or bone marrow transplant may allow more chemotherapy to be given so that more cancer cells are killed. Procedures, such as fludeoxyglucose F 18 positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) (done during chemotherapy) may help doctors predict a patient's risk of relapse and help plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well FDG-PET works in predicting risk of relapse in patients with aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who are undergoing combination chemotherapy with or without autologous stem cell or bone marrow transplant.
Radiation therapy has a well-established role in the treatment of Hodgkin's Disease and non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. With technological developments, 3-D Dimensional (3D) planning has evolved as a highly precise treatment planning option. High-precision radiation therapy has the potential for more accurate dose delivery to the tumour volume and can result in a greater sparing of normal tissue. An important component of safe radiotherapy delivery is the feasibility and reproducibility of current and new immobilization devices for highly conformal treatment. The purpose of this study is to determine the reproducibility of an immobilization device known as BodyFIX(TM) using conventional treatment techniques.
