Filter by:This is an open label pilot study of 40 evaluable patients receiving vinorelbine-gemcitabine combination chemotherapy with filgrastim support in an outpatient setting. Participating patients at the time of registration will have measurable relapsed or primary refractory lymphoma.
This is an international trial conducted by three cooperative groups: SFOP (France, Belgium, Netherlands), CCG (USA, Canada, Australia), and UKCCSG (UK and Ireland). Children with mature B-cell lymphoma/leukaemia are stratified into three different risk groups (A, B, C) and receive treatment of progressive intensity. Randomized trials in the 2 biggest groups (B and C) test whether "reduced" therapy is equivalent to standard intensive therapy (LMB-89 B and C) in terms of event free survival. The reason for the modification is to reduce the long term toxicity which includes cardiotoxicity, impaired fertility and secondary malignancy. In group B, the modifications of treatment consists of a reduction of cyclophosphamide in COPADM2 and/or the elimination of COPADM3. In group C, the modification consists in a reduction of the doses in the CYVE courses and the elimination of the last 3 courses of maintenance treatment
Primary Objective: - To determine the toxicity profile and tolerability of alemtuzumab (Campath) when administered in combination with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) chemotherapy (C-CHOP) in patients with T-cell, null-cell and NK-cell lymphomas. Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate response rate, overall survival, and disease-free survival in patients with T-cell, null-cell, and NK-cell lymphomas treated with Campath + CHOP chemotherapy. - To assess the incidence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation in patients with these lymphomas treated with the Campath + CHOP combination. - To determine features which might be predictive of resistance to treatment or predictive of relapse, including the absence of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked proteins.
Amifostine is a radioprotective drug which is approved by the US FDA for administration prior to each radiation treatment using the intravenous route. The study evaluated the safety of amifostine administered subcutaneously. The four targeted toxicities were nausea/vomiting, hypotension, generalized skin rash, and injection-site skin reactions.
This research is being done to develop new treatment for non-hodgkin's lymphoma in subjects whose cancer has returned or resisted treatment with chemotherapy. The investigational drug clofarabine is being used in this study. An investigational drug is one that has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The aim of the study is to deliver primary systemic high-dose methotrexate (MTX) treatment to PCNSL patients and to define the role of whole brain irradiation (WBI) in primary therapy, i.e., to analyze whether patients who have undergone primary chemotherapy can postpone irradiation with its possible late sequelae until recurrence without incurring losses in progression-free and overall survival. This is studied here for the first time worldwide in a systematic, controlled and randomized manner. In this study, one arm with six cycles of high-dose MTX and subsequent irradiation (A1), which comes closest to a "standard arm of primary therapy", at least according to the majority assessment, is compared to irradiation at recurrence with regard to time to progression and overall survival (A2). In primary therapy failure, it will also be analyzed to what extent salvage therapy with AraC is equivalent to irradiation as the "standard arm" with regard to time to progression and overall survival (arm B1 and B2).
Studies have provided evidence that residual microscopic malignant cells in autologous bone marrow or blood stem cell grafts can contribute to posttransplant relapse. Researchers are currently exploring different methods in an attempt to purify or "purge" the stem cell product to minimize the risk of tumor contamination. The CD133+ antigen is a protein contained on or "expressed" on numerous cells in the human body including specific hematopoietic progenitor (blood forming) cells. However, this antigen is not expressed on certain cancer cells including neuroblastoma. A technique using the investigational CliniMACS cell sorting device has been developed in an effort to filter out only those stem cells that express this CD133+ antigen in order to infuse a hematopoietic stem cell product with no tumor contamination potential. The primary objective of this study is to establish safety of treating patients with a high dose chemotherapy regimen of Busulfan and Melphalan followed by autologous CD133+ hematopoietic stem cell support. Transplants recipients are expected to achieve engraftment as defined by an absolute neutrophil count of greater than or equal to 500/mm3 for three consecutive days by day 42-post infusion. Thus, safety of the treatment plan will be evaluated in terms of failure to engraft by this specific time period.
Primary Objective: To determine the toxicity profile and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of VELCADE when administered in combination with CHOP + Rituximab to patients with previously untreated diffuse large B cell or mantle cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) Secondary Objectives: To assess the response rate (overall and complete), event-free survival and overall survival with VELCADE and CHOP-R in patients with previously untreated diffuse large B cell or mantle cell lymphoma (phase II component) Treatment: Standard CHOP chemotherapy administered every 21 days (full dose) for six cycles Rituximab administered (375 mg/m2) day 1 of each cycle (with usual premedications) VELCADE is administered prior to rituximab and CHOP on day 1 of each cycle. The dose of VELCADE will be determined by the following dose escalation schedule: Level Dose/Schedule (-2) 0.7 mg/m2 on day 1 of each cycle (-1) 0.7 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 (0) 0.7 mg/m2 on days 1 and 4 (+1) 1.0 mg/m2 on days 1 and 4 (+2) 1.3 mg/m2 on days 1 and 4
Primary Objective: Evaluate the clinical activity of the RT-PEPC combination regimen (rituximab, thalidomide, and prednisone, etoposide, procarbazine, cyclophosphamide) in patients with relapsed mantle cell lymphoma. Specifically, response rate (RR) and time to disease progression (TTP) will be assessed. Secondary Objectives: 1. Assess the toxicity profiles of RT-PEPC treatment in patients with relapsed mantle cell lymphoma. 2. Prospectively characterize the angiogenic profile of patients with mantle cell lymphoma during treatment with RT-PEPC. The dynamics of the angiogenic profile will be correlated with clinical response to RT-PEPC therapy. 3. Assess the quality of life of patients receiving RT-PEPC treatment
This study aims to assess the short term efficacy of a combination of rituximab and low-dose radiotherapy in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
