Filter by:This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well giving pegfilgrastim together with rituximab works in treating patients with untreated, relapsed, or refractory follicular lymphoma, small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), or marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). Colony-stimulating factors, such as pegfilgrastim, may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help the immune system recover from the side effects of therapy. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or tumor cancer-killing substances to them. Giving pegfilgrastim together with rituximab may kill more cancer cells
Peripheral T cell lymphomas (PTCL) are a rare hematologic disease. Five-year overall survival (OS) of PTCL patients (pts) ranges between 20 and 30%. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-STC) may have a curative role for these pts but its toxicity is high when myeloablative conditioning is used. Reduced intensity conditionings (RIC) can decrease transplant related toxicity and mortality. The investigators have recently proved feasibility and potential efficacy of a RIC regimen in relapsed PTCL patients. We want to investigate whether it is possible to improve the outcome of alk negative PTCL pts, stage II-IV at diagnosis, by intensifying the therapeutic approach. The intensification will be obtained by combining intensive chemotherapy, alemtuzumab (anti-CD52 humanised antibody) and auto- or allo-SCT in pts aged between 18 and 60 years (Clinical Study A) or adding alemtuzumab to standard chemotherapy (CHOP) in pts aged between 61 and 70 years(Clinical Study B).
The purpose of this trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of Inotuzumab Ozogamicin in combination with R-CVP with that of R-G-CVP for the treatment of Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) in a population of patients not suitable for anthracycline based chemotherapy. There is no standard of care for the treatment of this group of patients. If demonstrated to be efficacious and safe to deliver this regimen will be further tested in a phase III trial to determine whether this should become the standard of care amongst patients with DLBCL not fit for anthracycline (R-CHOP).
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of monoclonal antibody therapy before stem cell transplant in treating patients with relapsed or refractory lymphoid malignancies. Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as yttrium-90 anti-CD45 monoclonal antibody BC8, can find cancer cells and carry cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal 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. Giving radiolabeled monoclonal antibody before a stem cell transplant may be an effective treatment for relapsed or refractory lymphoid malignancies.
Follicular lymphoma (FL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) are rare lymphomas which consist of less than 5% of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in Korea. Although FL with histologic grade 1 or 2 has relatively good prognosis, continual treatment is needed due to frequent relapse. FL with histologic grade 3 has poor prognosis similar to that of diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Meanwhile, the response rate to systemic chemotherapy in MCL is low, so the treatment of relapsed MCL is challenging. So we investigate the efficacy of radioimmunotherapy using 131I-rituximab in refractory or relapsed patients with FL or MCL
Marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZL) is a lymphoma originated from B-cell in lymph node with variable differentiation status, which is distributed to a variety of organs. A high response rate and long term survival is possible through surgery or radiation therapy alone in the case of limited disease. However frequent relapse and progression is observed despite of long term survival. The treatment after relapse has not been established yet. So we investigate the efficacy of radioimmunotherapy using 131I-rituximab in refractory or relapsed patients with MZL.
The objective of this study is to explore the safety and the preliminary efficacy of two concentrations (0.06% and 0.03%)gel that is applied to lesions of early stage (IA, IB,IIA) Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma patients. This study is supported by grant 1R01FD004092-01A1 from the Office of Orphan Products Development, FDA.
Background: - Lab studies help researchers better understand cancer biology. This information may lead to new methods for diagnosing or treating cancer. To develop these studies, researchers want to collect samples from people with cancer or precancer conditions of the lymph system. These conditions include multiple myeloma, different types of lymphoma, and adult leukemia/lymphoma. The samples collected will include blood, urine, bone marrow, and tumor and skin tissue. Objectives: - To collect tissue samples to study different types of lymph cancer. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have a lymphoid cancer or precancer condition. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. - Different samples will be collected for study. Blood samples will be collected at the initial testing. More blood samples will be collected at different treatment points. Other liquid samples include urine, bone marrow, and any abnormal fluid. Tumor tissue and skin tissue biopsies will also be collected for study. - Treatment will not be provided as part of this study.
Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in Korea. Although there is standard therapy, which is called 'R-CHOP', many obstacles to use aggressive cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents such as old age, poor performance status, refractoriness, and relapsed disease still remains. So we investigate the efficacy of radioimmunotherapy using 131I-rituximab in refractory or relapsed patients with DLBCL.
Background: - Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) is a genetic disorder of the lymph system. People with ALPS often have swollen lymph nodes, especially in the neck and armpit. They also have a much higher risk of developing lymphoma. It is not always easy to determine whether the swollen lymph nodes are caused by ALPS or by lymphoma. Researchers want to see whether different imaging studies can show the difference between ALPS and lymphoma. The studies used will be positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT). Researchers will use a drug called fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) to look at the lymph nodes. Objectives: - To see how well imaging studies can distinguish between swollen lymph nodes caused by ALPS or by lymphoma. Eligibility: - Individuals must be 5 years of age or older and enrolled on the National Institutes of Health natural history study of ALPS. - Participants should either have lymphoma or have symptoms that suggest possible lymphoma. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. - Participants will have an FDG-PET/CT scan. It will be performed according to standard procedures. - If the results of the scan do not show lymphoma, participants will stay on the study for 1 year for clinical follow up. They may have a second FDG-PET/CT scan if there is a change in symptoms. Such changes include further enlargement of lymph nodes, unexplained fevers, or weight loss. - If the results of the scan show evidence of new or worsening lymphoma, treatment on this study will end. Further tests based on clinical symptoms, including a lymph node biopsy, may be done under the ALPS natural history study to rule out or make a diagnosis of lymphoma.
