Filter by:Background: T-cell lymphomas (TCLs) are rare cancers. Many types of TCLs do not develop in the lymph nodes but in places like the skin, spleen, and bone marrow. Researchers want to see if a mix of 4 drugs can help people with TCL. Objective: To test if the combination of romidepsin, CC-486 (5-azacitidine), duvelisib, and doxorubicin can be used safely in people with TCL. Eligibility: Adults 18 and older with TCL that is newly diagnosed or that returned after or did not respond to standard treatments. Design: Participants will be screened on a separate protocol. They may have a tumor biopsy. Participants will have medical histories, medicine reviews, and physical exams. Their ability to do daily activities will be assessed. They will have blood and urine tests. Participants will take duvelisib and CC-486 (5-azacitidine) by mouth. They will get romidepsin and doxorubicin by intravenous infusion. They will take the drugs for up to eight 21-day cycles. They will keep a medicine diary. Participants will have a bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy. Bone marrow will be taken through a needle inserted in the hip. Participants will have tumor imaging scans. Some may have a brain MRI and lumbar puncture. Some may have skin assessments. Participants will give blood, saliva, and tumor samples for research. Participants will have a safety visit 30 days after treatment ends. Then they will have follow-up visits every 60 days for 6 months, then every 90 days for 2 years, and then every 6 months for 2 years. Then they will have yearly visits until their disease gets worse or they start a new treatment....
The HL-Russia-1 is a non-randomized, open-label, multicenter, phase III, 3-arm study. The primary objective is to assess efficacy, safety and progression-free survival (PFS) of different approaches (earle favorable, early unfavorable and advanced stages) to first line chemotherapy for classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL).
CB010A is a study evaluating safety, emerging efficacy, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of CB-010 in adults with relapsed/refractory B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma after lymphodepletion consisting of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine.
The study aims to investigate if physical capacity obtained in the cardiopulmonary exercise test can predict cardiovascular alterations in Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) Survivors. In addition, to study the effects of exercise training on physical capacity and cardiovascular responses in these patients.
This phase I trial studies the safety and how effective the combination of ublituximab, umbralisib, and lenalidomide is in certain types of indolent (slow-growing) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or mantle cell lymphoma. Lenalidomide may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Lenalidomide may also stop the growth of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Umbralisib is designed to block a protein called PI3 kinase in order to stop cancer growth and cause changes in the immune system that may allow the immune system to better act against cancer cells. Ublituximab is an antibody that attaches to the lymphoma cells and triggers immune reactions that may result in the death of the targeted lymphoma cells.
This study is an observational cross-sectional study which aims to investigate the relationship between treatment with chemotherapy and the development of low levels of testosterone in the blood in patients cured for aggressive lymphoma. We hypothesize that patients in turn will develop sexual dysfunction and poor quality of life because of this reduced level of testosterone. Cancer treatment is increasingly effective and the overall survival higher, which makes issues like sexuality and long-term quality of life more and more important to address in cured cancer patients. Patient sexuality and quality of life is measured by 3 questionnaires filled out once, and serum testosterone by a single blood sample. If serum testosterone is in the lower part of the normal reference interval, patients will be offered further hormonal evaluation by department of growth and reproduction at Copenhagen University Hospital. We hope to show that future follow up visits should include focus on sexuality and serum testosterone. Questionnaires and blood samples can be implemented easily and without great cost.
The purpose of this study is to see whether hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) patients can consistently eat a diet rich in prebiotics. This type of diet may be helpful in maintaining diversity in the gastrointestinal (GI) system and therefore potentially decreasing risk of other GI problems.
The purpose of this trial is to find out if epcoritamab, also known as EPKINLY™ and GEN3013, is safe and works well as treatment for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that are not responding to treatment, have grown in size, or have come back following treatment with at least 1 prior systemic cancer therapy. All participants in this trial will be randomly assigned to receive either epcoritamab or a pre-specified investigator's choice (standard of care) chemotherapy (either rituximab + gemcitabine + oxaliplatin [R-GemOx], or bendamustine + rituximab [BR]). Participants must have failed or be ineligible to receive an autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). Epcoritamab will be injected under the skin. Investigator's choice chemotherapy will be given intravenously. Trial details include: - The trial duration will be up to 5 years. - All trial participants have a 21-day screening period, a treatment period, and a follow-up period that continues until death. - The estimated trial duration for an individual subject depends upon the treatment arm assigned: - Participants who receive epcoritamab will have 28-day treatment cycles. Epcoritamab will be given once weekly for the first 3 months, then every other week for 6 months, then every 28 days until lymphoma progression or unacceptable adverse events. - Participants who receive investigator's choice (standard of care) chemotherapy will receive treatments either: - R-GemOx: On Day 1 (or Day 1 & Day 2), and Day 15 (or Day 15 & Day 16) every 28 days, for up to 4 months; or - BR: On Day 1 and Day 2 every 3 weeks for up to 4.5 months.
- After standard treatment of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), high-dose methotrexate induction therapy, and consolidation therapy, most patients reach complete remission, but within the first 6 months, 35-60% of patients refractory to treatment or experience relapse during the first treatment. - The progression-free survival (PFS) period of relapsed patients is 2.2 months (0-29.6 months), and the survival period is reported as 3.5 months (0-29.6 months). After relapse, the majority of patients die within 2-4 months due to neurologic deterioration - Consolidation therapy after induction therapy includes whole-brain radiation therapy, high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-SCT), and high-dose chemotherapy alone. - However, the median age of the inducing patient is 65 years, and more than half of the patients who are unable to transplant autologous hematopoietic stem cells (auto-SCT) after induction therapy account for more than half. - Therefore, we intend to conduct a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of maintenance therapy for rituximab and lenalidomide as one of the consolidation therapies for patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL).
What are the investigators trying to do? By most measures, humans consume more food than needed. Over several decades, overconsumption has led to an increase in a number of diseases, including cancer. What if this could be reversed, or slowed down, by fasting? Would that improve how cancer patients respond to chemotherapy? Could simply changing eating patterns to reduce overall intake be a way to prevent and/or manage cancer? All of these are important questions and the investigators are undertaking a new initiative to study how nutrition and dietary behaviours affect cancer patients. Fasting: A way to improve overall health and increase our defenses to cancer Fasting in various forms has been shown to have a number of health benefits. Intermittent fasting, or time restricted feeding, has been shown to reverse or improve various diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and metabolic syndrome, decrease the risk of cancer, and significantly extend the life of an individual. In previous studies, fasting was well-tolerated with notable improvements in energy levels, sense of well-being, and sleep quality. In cancer patients, clinical trials have demonstrated intermittent fasting to lessen some of the short-term side effects of chemotherapy such as nausea, fatigue, and sleep quality. How fasting alters the course of cancer or improve immune defenses is not yet known but may be an alternative way to treat or manage cancer. The study plan The investigators plan to examine the effects of intermittent fasting (time restricted feeding) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). CLL is the most common chronic leukemia and is presently incurable. The advantage of choosing this patient population is that the cancer is easily assessed with a blood test measuring the amount of cancerous white cells (lymphocytes). Patients who consent to participate in this study will, through the support of an oncology dietitian and after a period of transition, split their daily feeding into a fasting period and a non-fasting period. This regime is as simple as skipping or having a late breakfast. At this time, participants will not be required to limit their total caloric intake. What is required from the participant? The investigators will assess whether intermittent fasting reduces the cancer by measuring the lymphocyte count in the blood over a period of 3 months. Study participants will complete questionnaires to help determine if fasting causes any change in their quality of life. The effects of intermittent fasting on a cancer control system called autophagy, as well as its effects on inflammation will be studied in the Deeley Research Centre laboratory at BC Cancer. What is the short- and long-term impact? In the short-term, if intermittent fasting can have an effect cancer lymphocyte count or on autophagy, then investigators will proceed with further studies to try and optimize the effects of intermittent fasting. In the long-term, this study is expected to be the first-ever to shed light on how intermittent fasting may be linked to cancer survival and/or growth. If true, this will open up new avenues to re-evaluate the inclusion of diet into cancer treatment protocols.
