Filter by:Genzyme will evaluate/monitor the off label transplant use of plerixafor using data in the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) registry. Off-label use of plerixafor will be collected for data entered over a 5 year time span (i.e., data entered into the registry between the date of European Union (EU) marketing authorization [31 July 2009] and 31 July 2014). The EBMT is a non-profit, scientific society representing more than 600 transplant centers mainly in Europe. The EBMT promotes all activity aiming to improve stem cell transplantation or cellular therapy, which includes registering all the activity relating to stem cell transplants. Data are entered, managed, and maintained in a central database with internet access; each EBMT center is represented in this database. The collection by the EBMT registry of reasons for the off-label transplant use of plerixafor shall provide information of a substantial number of patients who are representative of the patient population receiving plerixafor off-label.
In the European Union (EU), plerixafor is indicated in combination with granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) to enhance mobilisation of haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to the peripheral blood (PB) for collection and subsequent autologous transplantation in patients with lymphoma and multiple myeloma (MM) whose cells mobilise poorly. This is a clinical outcome analysis of a prospectively defined cohort of patients with data reported retrospectively to the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) who have lymphoma or multiple myeloma (MM), whose cells mobilize poorly, and who have undergone autologous haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation during the years 2008 up to and including 2012. The EBMT is a non-profit, scientific society representing more than 600 transplant centers mainly in Europe. The EBMT promotes all activity aiming to improve stem cell transplantation or cellular therapy, which includes registering all the activity relating to stem cell transplants. Data are entered, managed, and maintained in a central database with internet access; each EBMT center is represented in this database. The analysis of data from a well established registry like the EBMT registry allows for follow up of a large number of patients who are representative of the patient population receiving plerixafor.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if an infusion of white blood cells (called T cells) that have been genetically changed is safe to give patients who have received an umbilical cord blood transplant (UCBT). Researchers want to learn if these genetically changed T-cells are effective in attacking cancer cells in patients with advanced B-cell lymphoma or leukemia after they have received an UCBT, how long the changed T-cells stay in the body, and if adding them to standard transplant could improve how patients respond to treatment.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the event free survival at three years in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with poor prognostic factors receiving R-MegaCHOP as induction therapy. Patients with positive PET after three cycles of R-MegaCHOP receive early salvage treatment with R-IFE and autologous stem cell transplantation. Patients with negative PET after three cycles of R-MegaCHOP are treated with three additional cycles of R-MegaCHOP without transplant.
In this single centre study we study the use of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) combined with elastography in order to separate malignant tissue from benign tissue in and adjacent to the upper gastrointestinal tract.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine sulfate, and prednisone, work in different ways to stop cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells. 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. Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan, can find cancer cells and carry cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Comparing results of diagnostic procedures, such as PET scan and CT scan, done before, during, and after chemotherapy may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This phase II trial studies how well PET-directed chemotherapy works in treating patients with limited-stage diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
Newly diagnosed diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients who enter this study will receive baseline fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) computed tomography (CT) scan at the time of initial staging. The patients will be diagnosed and undergo initial staging according to The Catholic University Lymphoma Group (CULG) Protocol. After 1 cycle of rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone (R-CHOP) chemotherapy, early interim FDG PET/CT will be obtained after the patient recovers from nadir (usually 13 to 16 days after) following the administration of first cycle of R-CHOP,immediately before the second cycle of R-CHOP. The result of early interim FDG PET/CT study will not impact patient management, except in rare case where newly developed lesion is found and biopsy confirmed. The same PET/CT system and analysis software will be used for all scans from baseline to surveillance for all patients enrolled in this study. After 3 cycles of R-CHOP, a mid-therapy interim FDG PET/CT will be obtained. Patients with newly developed lesion will receive different chemotherapy regimen, while patients with stable disease, partial metabolic response or complete metabolic response will continue to receive 3 more cycles of R-CHOP. After the completion of 6 cycles of R-CHOP, the patients will receive a FDG PET/CT scan for response assessment. Selected patients with persistent disease or very bulky tumor volume on initial staging images will receive additional radiation therapy. The patients will be followed up every 3 months for 2 years from beginning of therapy. Physical examination and lab studies will be done usually every 3 months. Imaging studies will be performed every 3 months alternating between enhanced CT and FDG PET/CT and noted when different schedule is applied for surveillance. The end points are changes in FDG uptake measurements between the baseline and early interim FDG PET/CT, and between baseline and mid-therapy interim FDG PET/CT scans; response assessment following completion of 6 cycles of R-CHOP with or without radiation therapy assessed by International Workshop Criteria (IWC)+PET and PET Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (PERCIST) guideline; and the 2 year disease free survival.
This study is designed to test the non-inferiority of the experimental arm compared to the standard arm in terms of progression free survival (PFS).
This is an open-label, multicenter, Phase I, dose-escalation study to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) of GDC-0349 administered once daily (QD), orally (PO).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether treatment of E7777 in combination with CHOP has superior efficacy compared with CHOP alone in improving complete response rate (CRR) in first line treatment of subjects with Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma (PTCL).
