Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether 18F-FDG PET/CT-based prognostic model of PTCL can predict disease progression
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a semi-quantitative interpretation using the liver SUVmax as reference can better interpret 18F-FDG PET/CT and predict disease progression during chemotherapy or survival in PTCL.

NOTE: This is a research study and is not meant to be a substitute for clinical genetic testing. Families may never receive results from the study or may receive results many years from the time they enroll. If you are interested in clinical testing please consider seeing a local genetic counselor or other genetics professional. If you have already had clinical genetic testing and meet eligibility criteria for this study as shown in the Eligibility Section, you may enroll regardless of the results of your clinical genetic testing. While it is well recognized that hereditary factors contribute to the development of a subset of human cancers, the cause for many cancers remains unknown. The application of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has expanded knowledge in the field of hereditary cancer predisposition. Currently, more than 100 cancer predisposing genes have been identified, and it is now estimated that approximately 10% of all cancer patients have an underlying genetic predisposition. The purpose of this protocol is to identify novel cancer predisposing genes and/or genetic variants. For this study, the investigators will establish a Data Registry linked to a Repository of biological samples. Health information, blood samples and occasionally leftover tumor samples will be collected from individuals with familial cancer. The investigators will use NGS approaches to find changes in genes that may be important in the development of familial cancer. The information gained from this study may provide new and better ways to diagnose and care for people with hereditary cancer. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: - Establish a registry of families with clustering of cancer in which clinical data are linked to a repository of cryopreserved blood cells, germline DNA, and tumor tissues from the proband and other family members. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: - Identify novel cancer predisposing genes and/or genetic variants in families with clustering of cancer for which the underlying genetic basis is unknown.
Background: - Improved treatments for a variety of treatment-resistant, TNFRSF8 (CD30)-expressing malignancies including Hodgkin lymphoma, anaplastic large cell lymphoma, and other CD30- expressing lymphomas are needed. - T cells can be genetically modified to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that specifically target malignancy-associated antigens. - Autologous T cells genetically modified to express CARs targeting the B-cell antigen B-lymphocyte antigen CD19 (CD19) have caused complete remissions in a small number of patients with lymphoma. These results demonstrate that CAR-expressing T cells can have anti-lymphoma activity in humans. - CD30 expression can be easily detected by immunohistochemistry on lymphoma cells, which allows selection of CD30-expressing malignancies for treatment. - CD30 is not known to be expressed by normal cells except for a small number of activated lymphocytes. - We have constructed a novel fully-human anti-CD30 CAR that can specifically recognize CD30-expressing target cells in vitro and eradicate CD30-expressing tumors in mice. - This particular CAR has not been tested before in humans. - Possible toxicities include cytokine-associated toxicities such as fever, hypotension, and neurological toxicities. Elimination of a small number of normal activated lymphocytes is possible, and unknown toxicities are also possible. Objectives: Primary -Determine the safety and feasibility of administering T-cells expressing a novel fully human anti-CD30 CAR to patients with advanced CD30-expressing lymphomas. Eligibility: - Patients must have anaplastic large cell lymphoma, peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified, primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma, grey zone lymphoma, enteropathy associated T-cell lymphoma, or extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type - Patients must have malignancy that is both measurable on a computed tomography (CT) scan with a largest diameter of at least 1.5 cm and possessing increased metabolic activity detectable by positron emission tomography (PET) scan. Alternatively, patients with lymphoma detected by flow cytometry of bone marrow are eligible. - Patients must have a creatinine of 1.6 mg/dL or less and a normal cardiac ejection fraction. - An Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2 is required. - No active infections are allowed including evidence of active human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B, or hepatitis C. At the time of protocol enrollment patients must be seronegative for cytomegalovirus (CMV) by antibody testing or must have a negative blood CMV polymerase chain reaction (PCR). - Absolute neutrophil count greater than or equal to 1000/micro L, platelet count greater than or equal to 55,000/micro L, hemoglobin greater than or equal to 8g/dL - Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) less or equal to 3 times the upper limit of the institutional normal unless liver involvement by malignancy is demonstrated. - At least 14 days must elapse between the time of any prior systemic treatment (including corticosteroids above 5 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent corticosteroid dose) and initiation of required leukapheresis. - Clear CD30 expression must be detected on 75% or more of malignant cells from either bone marrow or lymphoma mass by flow cytometry or immunohistochemistry. The patient s malignancy will need to be assessed for CD30 expression by flow cytometry or immunohistochemistry performed at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). If unstained, paraffin-embedded bone marrow or lymphoma sections are available from prior biopsies, these can be used to determine CD30 expression by immunohistochemistry; otherwise, patients will need to come to the NIH for a biopsy to determine CD30 expression. The sample for CD30 expression can come from a biopsy obtained at any time before enrollment, unless the patient has received a prior anti-CD30 monoclonal antibody, in which case the sample must come from a biopsy following completion of the most recent anti-CD30 monoclonal antibody treatment. - Eligible patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma must have received 2 prior treatment regimens at least 1 of which included an anthracycline and an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody. - Patients who have never had an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant as well as patients who have had a 9/10 or 10/10 human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched sibling or a 9/10 or 10/10 HLA- matched unrelated donor hematopoietic stem cell transplant are potentially eligible. - Women who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant will be excluded.
The AVAIL-T trial is a trial to find out how effective avelumab is at treating patients with primary T-cell lymphoma that is refratory to or has relapsed following initial treatment.
1. Compare the efficacy of R-EPOCH and R-CHOP regimen for patients with AIDS associated CD20+ diffuse large B lymphoma; 2. Compare the safety of R-EPOCH and R-CHOP regimen for patients with AIDS associated CD20+ diffuse large B lymphoma.
This is an open-label non-randomized two-center phase 2 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of concurrent therapy with ibrutinib and venetoclax in subjects with relapsed or refractory CLL/SLL.
This study will evaluate the safety of PD-1 knockout EBV-CTL cells in treating EBV (Epstein-Barr virus) positive advanced stage malignancies. Blood samples will also be collected for research purposes.
