Filter by:To establish the safety and tolerability profile of MDX-1401 in patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's Lymphoma (HL).
This is an open-label (doctors and patients know which drug will be given), single center, phase 1/2 clinical trial. The primary objective is to determine whether VR-CHOP provides benefit to patients with previously untreated indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL).
This is a Phase I/II multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study of rituximab, bortezomib, and lenalidomide in the first-line or second-line treatment of patients with Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL).
This study examines the use of denileukin diftitox (Ontak) for patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma who are candidates for autologous stem cell transplants.
The primary objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety and the efficacy in patients with malignant lymphoma or acute leukemia who are repeatedly administered for SR29142 5 days in two dosage groups. Secondary objectives are to determine the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of SR29142 , to assess anti-SR29142 antibody production in patients with malignant lymphoma and acute leukemia, and to estimate the optimal dosage of SR29142 for Japanese patients from the results of efficacy and safety evaluations.
Allogeneic hematopoietic transplant is curative for many patients with hematological neoplasms but conditions to provide optimal engraftment and anti-tumor efficacy with minimal toxicity are still under way. Clofarabine is a newly licensed agent with dramatic anti-leukemic activity. Its incorporation into a regimen for pre-transplant conditioning of acute leukemia and lymphoma patients is logical, exploiting both the anti-tumor activities it is recognized to have and the immunosuppressive activity seen with drugs in its class.
Blood and lymph node cancers can begin in either the lymphatic tissues (as in the case of lymphoma) or in the bone marrow (as with leukemia and myeloma), and they all are involved with the uncontrolled growth of white blood cells. There are many subtypes of these cancers, e.g., chronic lymphocytic leukemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Since there is evidence that these cancers cluster in families, this study aims to understand how genetics and environmental exposures contribute to the development of these cancers.
Eligible candidates will be adults with aggressive or very aggressive NHL (WHO classification diagnosis confirmed by histological tumor examination). Patients must have failed one or more prior NHL chemotherapy or antibody therapy with curative intent, and the disease must not have progressed within 60 days of last therapy. In addition, patients must not be candidates for potentially curative therapy, such as HSCT, or they must have refused these alternative therapies. Full inclusion/exclusion criteria are available. History and physical examination, and laboratory and imaging analyses will be done within 14 days prior to registration. Intravenous ascorbic acid will be given in a dose based on the plasma vitamin C level to reach a level in the range of 300 to 350 mg/dL. Vitamin C infusions will be given three times a week on a schedule that allows at least 24 hours between each infusion, for a total of ten weeks (30 infusions). If disease progression occurs before or at the ten week assessment, then we discontinue protocol, based on futility. Toxicity and adverse events also will result in immediate discontinuation (details available in full protocol). If there is lack of disease progression or disease improvement, proceed and reassess again at 10 week intervals, for a total of three 10 week intervals. Initial criteria are based upon the criteria from the International Workshop to Standardize Criteria for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (Cheson et al., Report of an international workshop to standardize response criteria for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Journal of Clinical Oncology, 1999, Vol. 17, No4, 1244-1253); response for this study will utilize PET in accordance with revised criteria (Cheson et al. Revised response criteria for malignant lymphoma. J of Clin Oncol 2007; 25(5): 579-586). We select 20 patients as an appropriate study size to evaluate a true response rate to therapy, compared to just the observed response.
RATIONALE: Aldesleukin may stimulate natural killer cells to kill cancer cells. Treating natural killer cells with aldesleukin in the laboratory may help the natural killer cells kill more cancer cells when they are put back in the body. Giving monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, and chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, before a donor natural killer cell infusion helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying how well giving rituximab and chemotherapy followed by a donor natural killer cell infusion that has been treated in the laboratory with aldesleukin followed by aldesleukin works in treating patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
The purpose of this trial is to determine the effect of ofatumumab in patients with Diffused Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) ineligible for transplant or relapsed after autologous transplant
