Filter by:A phase 2 study of standard R-BAC (rituximab 375 mg/m2, bendamustine 70 mg/m2, ara-c 800 mg/m2) has been recently ultimated at the Vicenza Hematology Department involving several regional centers on both untreated and previously treated patients with Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL). An interim analysis conducted on 30 patients showed that rituximab + bendamustine + ara-c combination had very good clinical activity, but a quite relevant hematological toxicity, especially in previously treated and older patients (Visco C, ICML 2011 Lugano Conference, Poster 236). Objectives: The primary objective is to determine the activity (complete remission rate according to Cheson 2007 criteria) and safety of age-adjusted Rituximab-Bendamustine-Cytarabine (RBAC500) regimen at the end of treatment in older untreated patients with MCL. The secondary objectives are to determine: - The rate of molecular response (characterized by labs of the FIL) - The progression-free survival (PFS) - The overall survival (OS) - The duration of responses (DOR) - The rate of patients that complete the expected treatment schedule (6 courses) - The rate of patients that are subject to dose reductions or delays
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is not curable with conventional therapy. This study sought to improve upon standard of care in newly diagnosed, untreated MCL patients who were transplant-eligible using drugs already established as active in MCL. The combination of Rituximab-Bendamustine followed by Rituximab-Cytarabine (RB/RC) was expected to maximize pre-ASCT complete response (CR) rate compared to historical rates approximating 55% with tolerable toxicity.
Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) represent 25 to 30% of adult non-Hodgkin lymphomas in western countries. DLBCLs are aggressive cancer but potentially curable with multi-agent chemotherapy. Whereas R-CHOP regimen has led to a marked improvement in survival, this disease remains a biologically heterogeneous entity. New therapeutic strategies are required including identification of patients' subgroups with different prognostic. This project is based on BMS_LyTrans and Goelams 075 clinical trial. A study of whole blood transcriptome in 75 DLBCL patients and in 87 controls showed that PD-L1 (CD274) gene was overexpressed in DLBCL patients. Preliminary results demonstrated that PD-L1 is detected in plasma of DLBCL patients with a significantly higher concentration than in controls. This protein was selected as a potential biomarker because of its established role in anti-tumoral immunity. Interaction between PD-L1 and its receptor PD-1 is known to inhibit activation of immune responses by inducing T-lymphocytes anergy and/or apoptosis. Moreover, a direct involvement of PD-L1 in the protection of cancer cells from lysis by activated T lymphocytes has been demonstrated. PD-L1 expression has been described in several solid tumours, including ovary cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, renal cell carcinoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma and in hematological malignancies such as T-NHL, MM and Hodgkin's lymphoma. Furthermore the expression of PD-L1 by tumour cells is associated with poor prognosis. The blockade of PD-L1/PD-1 axis may represent a novel therapeutic approach in aggressive cancers. These first results incite to identify the cells releasing soluble PD-L1 and to investigate its role in the anti-tumoral immunity in DLBCL patients. The aim of this study is to identify cells producing soluble PD-L1 in DLBCL patients at diagnosis in comparison to others tumours known to express PD-L1 (metastatic breast cancer, Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-small cell lung cancer).
We retrospectively review patients with refractory or relapsed ENKL who received a gemcitabine-containing regimen
The objective of the study (part A) is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BAY80-6946 in patients with indolent or aggressive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, who have progressed after standard therapy. 30 patients will be enrolled to both indolent and aggressive disease group. The objective of the study part B (CHRONOS-1) is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BAY80-6946 in patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma. 120 patients will be enrolled in the part B of the study. Further objectives are to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and biomarkers. Quality of life will be a further objective of part B of the study. In a cohort of 20 patients (enrolled both in part A and B) an ECG substudy will be performed to assess the potential for cardiac toxicity and QT/QTc interval prolongation of BAY80-6946. After an up to 28-day screening period, eligible patients will start treatment with BAY80-6946 at a dose of 0.8 mg/kg (Part A) and at a dose of 60 mg (Part B). Treatment will be continued until disease has progressed or until another criterion is met for withdrawal from study. An end-of-treatment visit will be performed within 7 days after discontinuation of study treatment. Thirty to 35 days after last study drug administration, a safety followup visit will be performed for the collection of adverse events (AEs) and concomitant medication data. Patients will be contacted quarterly to determine overall survival status up to 4 years after last patient completed treatment. Patients who discontinue study drug for reasons other than disease progression will enter the Active Assessment Follow-up period. The end of study notification to Health Authorities will be based on the completion of the collection of survival data. The efficacy is measured by the decrease in tumor size. Tumor assessments will be done at Screening, every 8 weeks during Year 1, every 12 weeks during Year 2, and every 6 months during Year 3. Blood samples will be collected for pharmacokinetic analysis. Archival tumor tissue and blood samples will be collected for biomarker analysis (mandatory) and for central pathology review (part B), fresh biopsy tissue will also be collected if available.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of tirabrutinib (formerly ONO/GS-4059) given as monotherapy to participants with relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
This study is designed to investigate: - the interest of a new monoclonal antibody (GA101)versus rituximab - the interest of PET to identify early responders Patients will receive either rituximab (standard treatment), either GA101 (study treatment), according to the randomization arm. The monoclonal antibody will be associated to a chemotherapy: CHOP or ACVBP according to site's choice.A PET scan will be done before inclusion, after 2 chemotherapy cycles, and after 4 chemotherapy cycles, to identify early patients responders, for who consolidation with ASCT is not required.
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of methoxyamine when given together with fludarabine phosphate in treating patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as methoxyamine and fludarabine phosphate, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving methoxyamine together with fludarabine phosphate may kill more cancer cells.
The main purpose of the present study is to assess whether the sensitivity of Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is superior to that of conventional TBNA in the diagnosis of hilar/mediastinal adenopathy and lung cancer staging.
This study is looking at the effects of Panobinostat, an investigational treatment, on cancer cells in patients who have Hodgkin lymphoma (a cancer of the immune system with specific Hodgkin/Reed Sternberg Cells), T-cell lymphoma (a cancer of the immune system with too many T lymphocytes), chronic lymphocytic leukemia or prolymphocytic leukaemia (immune system with too many lymphocytes in the blood stream), lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (immune system with too many plasma cells or B lymphocytes) or myeloma (a cancer of plasma cells). Panobinostat is a new drug which has led to disease improvement in some patients with Hodgkin lymphoma, certain types of T-cell lymphoma, myeloma and some B cell lymphomas. Not all patients benefit from panobinostat. The researchers wish to look at the effects of panobinostat on cancer cells. The aim of this project is find out which patients or diseases are likely to respond to treatment with panobinostat in the future and to see if there are particular features of the patient or of the cancer that affects the likelihood of the way individuals respond to panobinostat. Panobinostat is an oral medication (taken by mouth) that effects the way cancer cells and in normal cells make proteins. Panobinostat has been used in several clinical trials around the world. The largest trials generally have fewer than 200 patients and are in Hodgkin lymphoma, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and myeloma where between one in five and one in three patients have significant improvement in their disease. Researchers will look at samples of tumour before treatment and during treatment. This will be one of the first studies to look at how cancer cells change following treatment with this drug. It is unusual because it requires repeated biopsies of the participant's tumour. Panobinostat is considered an experimental (or investigational) drug and not approved by any regulatory authority (such as the Food and Drug Administration, FDA in the USA or by the Therapeutics Goods and Administration, TGA, in Australia) to treat any type of cancer. Therefore, Panobinostat is not approved to treat patients who have been diagnosed with refractory or relapsed cancer. A total of 30 patients with one of the diseases listed above will be enrolled at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. It is expected it will take about 2 to 3 years to recruit 30 patients and that on average patients will take part for six to eighteen months. This time could be shorter or longer depending on how well the treatment works in each individual. While the trial will take up to 4 years to complete, the science studies may take longer.
