Filter by:Phase II Study Concomitant High-Dose Radio-Immuno- and Chemotherapy with simultaneous application of Zevalin and BEAM followed by autologous peripheral stem cell transplantation in relapsed and refractory CD 20+ Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy before a donor stem cell 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 healthy 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 methotrexate before and after transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects and how well donor stem cell transplant works when given after conditioning therapy in treating patients with hematologic cancer, recurrent or metastatic solid tumor, or other disease.
RATIONALE: Giving high-dose chemotherapy before an autologous stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or by killing them. An autologous stem cell transplant may be able to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy. GM-CSF may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood. Giving a monoclonal antibody, such as rituximab, after the transplant may find any remaining cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Giving GM-CSF together with rituximab after autologous stem cell transplant may be an effective treatment for follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving GM-CSF together with rituximab after autologous stem cell transplant works in treating patients with relapsed or primary refractory follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of EZN-2208 that can be given to patients with advanced cancer or lymphoma. The safety of the study drug and its effect on the disease will also be studied. Enzon will also perform pharmacokinetic (PK) testing of EZN-2208. PK testing measures the amount of a drug in the body at different time points.

Background: Major problems with stem cell transplantation (SCT) for cancer treatment are a lack of suitable donors for patients without a human leukocyte-antigen (HLA) tissue-matched sibling and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a serious side effects of immune-suppressing chemotherapy that is given to bring the cancer under control before SCT. In GVHD, the patients immune system attacks the transplanted donor cells. This study will try to improve the results of SCT from unrelated HLA-matched donors using targeted immune-depleting chemotherapy to bring the cancer under control before transplantation and to lower the chance of graft rejection, followed by reduced-intensity transplant chemotherapy to make the procedure less toxic. Objectives: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of targeted immune-depleting chemotherapy followed by reduced-intensity transplant chemotherapy in patients with advanced cancers of the blood and immune system. To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of two different drug combinations to prevent GVHD. Both regimens have been successful in preventing GVHD, but they work by different mechanisms and affect the rebuilding of the immune system after the transplant. Eligibility: People 18 to 74 years of age with advanced or high-risk cancers of the blood and immune system who do not have a suitable HLA-matched sibling. Design: All patients receive chemotherapy before transplant to treat the cancer and suppress immune function. All patients receive a conditioning regimen of cyclophosphamide for 4 days and fludarabine for 4 days before SCT to prepare for the transplant. Patients are randomly assigned to one of two combination drug treatments to prevent GHVD as follows: - Group 1: Tacrolimus starting 3 days before SCT and continuing for 6 months, plus methotrexate on days 1, 3, 6, and 11 post-SCT, plus sirolimus starting 3 days before the SCT and continues for 6 months following SCT. - Group 2: Alemtuzumab for 4 days starting 8 days before SCT, plus cyclosporine starting 1 day before SCT and continuing for 6 months. Patients receive the donors stem cells and immune cells 2 days after completing the conditioning regimen. Patients are followed at the clinic regularly for the first 6 months after SCT, and then less often for at least 5 years. Some visits may include bone marrow aspirates and biopsies, blood draws, and other tests to monitor disease status. A skin biopsy, oral mucosa biopsy, and saliva collection are done to study chronic GVHD.
The primary objective for the phase I part of the study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of escalating intravenous (IV) doses of obinutuzumab given as monotherapy in participants with CD20+ (tumor-infiltrating lymphocytic) Malignant Disease, including B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL). The primary objective for the phase II part of the study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of one dose of obinutuzumab in participants with relapsed/refractory CLL and NHL that is, in turn, either indolent (iNHL) or aggressive (aNHL). It is an open label dose escalating study in phase I and open label in phase II, but the two doses in iNHL & aNHL are randomized (to high or low dose of the same open label treatment). CLL was not randomized as only one dose level was used. Participants with a response who might gain additional benefit from being treated again in the opinion of the investigator may be enrolled in a Retreatment Period.
This Phase II, single-arm, open-label, multicenter trial is designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of PRO95780 when combined with rituximab in patients with follicular, CD20-positive B-cell NHL that has progressed following previous rituximab therapy.
RATIONALE: Baclofen-amitriptyline-ketamine (BAK) gel may lessen peripheral neuropathy caused by chemotherapy. It is not yet known whether BAK gel is more effective than a placebo in treating peripheral neuropathy caused by chemotherapy . PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying BAK gel to see how well it works compared with a placebo in treating peripheral neuropathy caused by chemotherapy in patients with cancer.
RATIONALE: Everolimus may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well everolimus works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma.
