Filter by:The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if adding Zevalin (ibritumomab tiuxetan) to low-intensity chemotherapy (the combination of rituximab, bendamustine, and fludarabine), followed by an allogeneic stem cell transplant, can help to control lymphoma. The safety of this combination will also be studied. Two (2) forms of ibritumomab tiuxetan will be used in this study. 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan is designed to attach to lymphoma cells and destroy the cells using a radioactive particle that is attached to it. 111In-ibritumomab tiuxetan is like 90Y- ibritumomab tiuxetan, but the radioactive particle that is attached to it does not kill lymphoma cells. The radioactive particle makes the drug able to be seen inside your body. It is being used in this study to predict how fast the study drug will travel in the body and how long the drug stays in the body. Rituximab is designed to attach to lymphoma cells, which may cause them to die. Bendamustine is designed to damage and destroy the DNA (genetic material) of cancer cells. Fludarabine is designed to make cancer cells less able to repair damaged DNA. This may increase the likelihood of the cells dying.
Assess the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-α (rhTNF-α) when given as a single dose intravenously and in combination with liposomal doxorubicin in human subjects
Autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) is an important therapy for patients with multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and Hodgkin's lymphoma. It has been shown to improve progression free survival and overall survival. However, it is a challenging treatment process both physically and psychologically. It is a procedure with many side effects that can be uncomfortable, painful, and at times, difficult to endure. Complementary therapies, such as music therapy, have potential to be an important adjunct in palliation of symptoms in patients undergoing chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine the overall cutaneous response rate (participants who achieve a complete response or partial response) based on the modified severity weighted assessment tool criteria.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if AUY922 can help to control refractory or recurrent lymphoma. The safety of AUY922 will also be studied. AUY922 is designed to block tumor growth by blocking a protein.
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare and aggressive type of lymphoma, with only about 3,000 cases diagnosed per year. MCL is considered a difficult cancer to treat. This study is being done to better understand how to treat MCL.
This randomized pilot clinical trial studies how well giving prolonged infusion compared to standard infusion of cefepime hydrochloride works in treating patients with febrile neutropenia. Giving cefepime hydrochloride over a longer period of time may be more effective than giving cefepime hydrochloride over the standard time.
The purpose of this study is to improve the communication skills of physicians who transition lymphoma cancer patients from the end of treatment to survivorship.
This is a phase 3, randomized, 2-arm, open-label, international trial evaluating alisertib compared with single-agent treatment, as selected by the investigator from the offered options of pralatrexate or gemcitabine or romidepsin, in participants with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). Note: romidepsin was not used as a single-agent comparator outside the United States of America (USA) as supply was not available.
This is an observational prospective cohort study design to evaluate the safety of rapid Rituximab infusion at 90 minutes for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) patients. The secondary aim is to measure the number of rejected chemotherapy administration on schedule. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients who tolerated well for at least 2 cycles of standard infusion of Rituximab without grade 3 or 4 adverse events will be recruited in the study. In this study, the first 20% of the total dose of rituximab will be administered over 30 minutes. When subjects tolerate the infusion and stable vital signs, the remaining 80% of the total dose will be administered over 60 minutes. Prior administration of Rituximab, premedication will be given to the subjects including PO Paracetamol 1g, IV Diphenhydramine 25/50mg and/or IV Hydrocortisone 100mg. The duration of subjects involvement in the study approximately takes 72 hours. Adverse events that occur within the first 24 hours of infusion will be evaluated if related to Rituximab infusion as some subjects are receiving combination chemotherapy with rituximab. This study will recruit both in patients and out-patients. A phone call to monitor subject's health will be made post 24, 48, 72 hours of rituximab infusion. The findings from this study will add evidence to the safety of rapid Rituximab infusion at 90 minutes. If the outcome is favourable, NUH will consider adopting the new infusion rate for Rituximab infusion for patients who tolerated at least 2 cycles of standard infusion recommended by the drug manufacturer. The study hypothesizes that rapid Rituximab infusion at 90 minutes is safe for NHL patients.
