Filter by:RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as epratuzumab 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. Giving epratuzumab and rituximab together may be more effective in treating follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving epratuzumab together with rituximab works in treating patients with previously untreated follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Background: - PARP is an enzyme that is involved in the repair of damage to DNA. Levels of the enzyme are higher in tumor cells than in normal cells, and may play a part in resistance to cancer chemotherapy and radiation therapy. ABT-888 is an experimental drug that inhibits PARP and may help to increase the effectiveness of cancer treatments designed to damage DNA in cancer cells. - Topotecan is a drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treating certain cancers. - This dose escalation study will test the two drugs at successively higher doses in small groups of patients until the highest safe dose is determined. Objectives: - To test the safety of the combination of ABT-888 and Topotecan (TPT) and determine the highest dose of each drug that can be safely given to humans. This is the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). - To learn how the combination of ABT-888 and TPT works in humans and how the body handles the drugs. - To determine the side effects of the combination of ABT-888 and TPT at the tested doses. Eligibility: -Patients with solid tumors, lymphomas and chronic lymphocytic leukemia whose disease has progressed following standard therapy or for whom standard treatments are not available. Design: - ABT-888 and TPT are given in 21-day treatment cycles. At the start of the study, TPT is infused through a vein over 30 minutes about a week before cycle 1 starts. Starting on day 1 of cycle 1, ABT-888 is given by mouth twice a day for 7 days. TPT is given through a vein daily for 4 days starting on day 2. After the last dose of ABT-888 day 7, no more treatment is given for the rest of the 21-day cycle. - For the remaining cycles, ABT-888 is given twice a day by mouth on days 1 to 7 of each cycle, and TPT is given through a vein daily on days 1 to 5 of each cycle. - The first three to six patients enrolled in the study take the smallest study dose of the drugs. If they do not develop significant adverse side effects, successive small groups of patients take the drug at increasingly higher doses until the MTD is reached. Additional patients enrolled receive the MTD. - Patients have periodic clinic visits for their TPT infusions and for tests and examinations. Evaluations include measurement of vital signs, physical examinations, blood and urine tests, electrocardiograms and CT or other imaging tests, such as ultrasound or MRI. Tumor biopsies may be requested to study the effects of the drugs on the...
Predicting response to chemotherapy in patients with Hodgkin's disease or lymphoma high-grade malignant de novo or recurrence. The non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and high-grade Hodgkin's disease may show resistance to chemotherapy, regardless of their initial extension. The failure of treatment is most often correlated with an incomplete answer or lack of response to chemotherapy as a result chemoresistance. This drug, which may involve the gene MDR1 (multidrug resistance) encoding the protein PGP, can be studied in vivo by MIBI scan. The MIBI is behind a tracer perfusionnel used routinely to explore myocardial perfusion, but it has other characteristics of fixing, which can be used in oncological imaging (fixation by glial tumors of high grade).Prospective Study, which includes conducting a tomoscintigraphie 30 minutes after injection of 20 mCi of 99mTc-MIBI in initial stock or relapse of high-grade lymphoma and Hodgkin's disease any stage (I-IV). Fixing the MIBI is compared with morphological abnormalities detected by CT and the setting of lesions by 18FDG. Patients will be treated in a traditional way, without changes in treatment protocols used in routine. Patients with a negative MIBI scan, will be watched with particular attention in order to detect insufficient response to chemotherapy. The only change, the care of patients, only for the achievement of an initial consideration of non-invasive imaging, further, which is the tomoscintigraphie the MIBI. Of the tumor samples, will be evaluated by immunohistochemistry, the expression of PGP and the MRP1 (two proteins associated with the drug). On blood, may be carried out genotyping of MDR1, MRP1 and MRP2 to the patient.
Primary Objective: - To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Dasatinib in relapsed or refractory non-hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) patients and to determine the safety of Dasatinib in NHL. Secondary Objectives: - To assess the complete and overall response rates for all Phase I and Phase II patients and to determine overall survival and event free survival for all Phase I and Phase II patients. - To assay the levels of kinase activity in NHL specimens and correlate this activity to patient outcomes.
The primary objective is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of SAR3419 and to characterize the dose limiting toxicity(ies). Secondary objectives are to determine the anti-lymphoma activity, the global safety and the PK profile.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that has not responded to, or that has returned after standard treatment, responds to bortezomib, rituximab and bendamustine, and also to see what effects this drug combination have on this cancer.
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy with or without total-body irradiation before a donor umbilical cord blood transplant helps stop the growth of cancer or abnormal cells. It also helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil before and after transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well four different chemotherapy regimens given with or without total-body irradiation before umbilical cord blood transplant work in treating patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a subcutaneous (SC) dosing schedule of veltuzumab can be established in NHL or CLL patients and to confirm the safety and efficacy of veltuzumab that was previously established when administered intravenously.
RATIONALE: Pentostatin may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and mitoxantrone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. 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. Giving pentostatin together with combination chemotherapy and rituximab may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of mitoxantrone when given together with pentostatin, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab and to see how well it works in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or other low-grade B-cell cancer.
RATIONALE: Giving high-dose chemotherapy before a peripheral blood stem cell transplant stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or by killing them. Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as G-CSF, helps stem cells move from the bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by high-dose chemotherapy and radiation therapy. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects and how well high-dose chemotherapy works in treating patients undergoing stem cell transplant for recurrent or refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma.
