Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well lenalidomide works in combination with rituximab in treating participants with stage III-IV non-Hodgkin lymphoma that is growing slowly. Lenalidomide is designed to change the body's immune system. It may also interfere with the development of tiny blood vessels that help support tumor growth, which may prevent the growth of cancer cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving lenalidomide and rituximab may work better in participants with indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as anal swab collection, digital rectal examination, and anal endoscopy and biopsy, may help find and diagnose anal and genital human papillomavirus infection and squamous intraepithelial lesions and help doctors plan better treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying ways to detect anal and genital human papillomavirus infection and squamous intraepithelial lesions in HIV-positive patients enrolled in an AIDS cancer clinical trial.
This phase II clinical trial studies how well yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan, rituximab, and high-dose chemotherapy followed by peripheral blood stem cell transplant in treating patients with relapsed B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Monoclonal antibodies, such as yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan and 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. Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies can find tumor cells and carry tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Giving monoclonal antibody therapy, radioimmunotherapy (RIT), and high-dose combination chemotherapy before a peripheral blood stem cell transplant may be an effective treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
The purpose of this research study is to determine if plerixafor can make CLL/SLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/ Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma) cells more sensitive to being killed by rituximab, an anti-cancer drug that is commonly used in treating CLL and SLL. In this study, plerixafor will be added to standard treatment with rituximab. Subjects will be monitored to see how well they tolerate the use of these drugs together and how well they work to treat the leukemia. The primary objective is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of plerixafor when combined with rituximab as treatment for previously treated patients with CLL or SLL.
This is a compassionate use protocol for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who have developed hypersensitivity or intolerance to E. coli L-asparaginase and/or PEG-L-asparaginase.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin, vincristine, and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Steroid therapy, such as prednisone, may be effective in treating cancer and blocking the body's immune response. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab and yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan, 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. Giving chemotherapy together with prednisone and monoclonal antibody therapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving doxorubicin together with vincristine, cyclophosphamide, prednisone, and rituximab followed by rituximab and yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan works in treating patients with newly diagnosed large B-cell lymphoma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of a preparative regimen utilizing standard-dose Yttrium-90 Ibritumomab Tiuxetan (Zevalin) radioimmunotherapy combined with high-dose BEAM followed by ASCT after first line treatment in patients aged from 18 to 65 years with poor prognosis CD 20 Diffuse Large B-Cell lymphoma
To assess the antitumor effect and safety of Fludara in patients with indolent lymphoma.
This is a multi-center, Phase I study of a new investigational drug, VTX-2337, that may stimulate the immune system to help fight cancer. The purpose of the study is to assess the safety of the investigational drug and to identify the highest dose that is well-tolerated. The pharmacology of VTX-2337 will also be evaluated.
Sometimes, cancer comes back after it has been successfully treated—a situation called recurrent cancer. When recurrent cancer is suspected, the standard approach to diagnosis is to perform a combination of imaging tests, such as x-rays, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear medicine scans. Sometimes, however, after performing these tests it still may not be clear whether or not the cancer has come back. Some studies have shown that a diagnostic imaging test called Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) may be helpful in the diagnosis of recurrent lung, breast, head and neck, ovarian or esophageal cancer or lymphoma. However, it is not clear if PET/CT can offer better results than standard approaches to diagnosis. This feasibility study is needed to determine how common it is for a diagnosis of recurrent cancer to be unclear even after standard diagnostic imaging tests have been completed. If the enrollment goal is reached (~60 patients enrolled in 18 months), a larger clinical trial is being planned to determine if PET/CT is helpful in making the diagnosis of recurrent cancer in situations where standard imaging tests have not been helpful. It is also expected that the results of this feasibility study will help to define exactly which patients should be enrolled in this larger clinical trial of PET/CT.
