Filter by:This is an open-label, dose-escalation Phase 1 study of the investigational agent, ON 013105. In laboratory animal studies, ON 013105 has demonstrated anti-cancer activity. The purpose of this study is to determine the highest dose of ON 013105 that can be given safely in patients with relapsed/refractory Lymphoma or B-cell Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (Philadelphia chromosome negative). Patients will receive weekly 2-hour IV infusions of ON 013105 at higher and higher doses until intolerable side effects are observed. It is important to know the highest safe dose so additional studies can be done.
RATIONALE: Lenalidomide may stop the growth of cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Giving lenalidomide together with rituximab may be an effective treatment for B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide when given together with rituximab as maintenance therapy in treating patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
This phase II trial is studying how well rituximab works in preventing acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in patients undergoing a donor stem cell transplant for hematologic cancer. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving a monoclonal antibody, rituximab, together with anti-thymocyte globulin, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil before and after the transplant may stop this from happening
The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of a drug called LBH589 when given to people with recurrent or refractory Hodgkin or Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The safety of this drug will also be studied. The participants' physical state, changes in the size of the tumor, or state of Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and laboratory findings taken while on-study will help the researchers decide if LBH589 is safe and effective.
This phase II trial studies how well donor peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplant works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Cyclophosphamide when added to tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil is safe and effective in preventing severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in most patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing transplantation of bone marrow from half-matched (haploidentical) donors. This approach has extended the transplant option to patients who do not have matched related or unrelated donors, especially for patients from ethnic minority groups. The graft contains cells of the donor's immune system which potentially can recognize and destroy the patient's cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Rejection of the donor's cells by the patient's own immune system is prevented by giving low doses of chemotherapy (fludarabine phosphate and cyclophosphamide) and total-body irradiation before transplant. Patients can experience low blood cell counts after transplant. Using stem cells and immune cells collected from the donor's circulating blood may result in quicker recovery of blood counts and may be more effective in treating the patient's disease than using bone marrow.
A study to evaluate the efficacy of lenalidomide as maintenance therapy after completion of first-line combination chemotherapy in patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who are not candidates for transplantation and have achieved partial response (PR) or complete response (CR). This study was prematurely terminated by the sponsor in light of new unpublished data that rendered the current design of the study no longer clinically relevant. A study design with the control arm of no active treatment was no longer appropriate. The termination of the trial was not based on any safety concerns in the study.
Clinical Hypothesis: It is expected that by removing chemotherapy and adding ancestim to the mobilization scheme in most of the subjects sufficient PBPC will be harvested with a minimum of toxicity and side effects.
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety and toxicity when cyclophosphamide, rituximab and lenalidomide (Revlimid) are combined for the treatment of relapsed/refractory of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).
RATIONALE: Giving low-dose total-body irradiation before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects of donor stem cell transplant after total-body irradiation and to see how well it works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic cancer or acute myeloid leukemia or acute lymphocytic leukemia in complete remission.
Combined modality therapy has then emerged as the standard of care for limited-stage Hodgkin's lymphoma and doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD) chemotherapy that is devoid of alkylating agents and associated with a low potential for gonadal toxicity and leukemogenesis, is currently considered a gold standard. Nevertheless, the disadvantage to combine radiotherapy to ABVD is represented by late cardiovascular events (myocardial dysfunction and coronary or valvular disease), especially when the heart is within the radiation field; bleomycin pulmonary toxicity also is increased in conjunction with RT and secondary tumors, in particular in the RT fields. This study aims at treating patients with limited disease with multiagent chemotherapy alone, without irradiation, and using radiotherapy only for relapses.
