Filter by:This study evaluates the efficacy and tolerability of treatment for T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) according to a protocol for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Patients receive one year of intensive cyclical chemotherapy with additional prophylaxis for central nervous system (CNS) relapse by intrathecal therapy and cranial irradiation and mediastinal irradiation after induction chemotherapy.
The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and tolerance of piperacillin-tazobactam versus piperacillin-tazobactam plus glycopeptide as initial empiric antibiotic treatment for fever in neutropenic patients. Study of consecutive cohorts(2). First the patients will be included in the monotherapy branch until completing the predicted number of cases. When this happens, the Coordinating Center will communicate it to the participant centers and from then the patients will be included in the combined therapy.
Idarubicin combined with high dose methotrexate and moderate dose radiotherapy will achieve similar survival outcomes but with reduced neurotoxicity compared to regimens using methotrexate with high dose radiotherapy.
Additional active agents are needed to further improve the treatment of patients with CLL/SLL. Increasing information exists regarding the activity of arsenic trioxide in other hematologic malignancies. Since arsenic trioxide produces mild to moderate myelosuppression and is not as immunosuppressive as other available agents, it may be an additional treatment option for CLL/SLL. This study will evaluate the feasibility and toxicity of arsenic trioxide in patients with relapsed or refractory CLL/SLL
In this Multicenter trial, we will evaluate the feasibility, toxicity, and efficacy of treatment with 90Y Zevalin following a short course of salvage chemotherapy in patients with relapsed/refractory intermediate grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, efficacy and safety of adding bevacizumab to rituximab compared to rituximab alone in patients with previously treated follicular non-hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) whose disease has progressed following at least one previous chemotherapy regimen and not more than 2 previous chemotherapy regimens.
The purposes of this trial are to decrease toxicity and improve treatment effectiveness elderly patients. With a short course of chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, mitoxantrone, vincristine, and prednisone with concurrent administration of rituximab it is likely to be as effective as longer programs, and will certainly be better tolerated by this patient group. The addition of maintenance therapy may result in substantial prolongation of remission duration.
In this multicenter trial, we will investigate the use of fludarabine plus rituximab, followed by Campath-1H, in previously untreated patients with CLL/SLL. Patients who are elderly, or who are considered unlikely to tolerate this combination therapy well, will receive single agent rituximab followed by Campath-1H.
In this trial, we will evaluate the feasibility, toxicity, and effectiveness ibritumomab tiuxetan, when incorporated into combination first-line treatment for follicular lymphoma. Addition of the ibritumomab tiuxetan to our previously evaluated, well tolerated combination of rituximab and short course chemotherapy will allow the use of additional active agent with a unique mechanism of cytotoxicity. In addition, "debulking" of lymphoma prior to 90Y Zevalin administration may minimize the myelotoxicity of this agent.
The study hypothesis is that intensification of CHOP by dose escalation of the most active drugs in the combination will improve treatment outcome. Patients with diffuse large-cell lymphoma are treated by high cyclophosphamide containing CHOP. The planned dose is 3000 mg/m2 which is 4 times the atandard one. Only 4 cycles are given.
