Filter by:RATIONALE: Giving monoclonal antibody therapy, radioimmunotherapy, and chemotherapy before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the stem cells from a related donor that do not exactly match the patient's blood, are infused into the patient, they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving tacrolimus and sirolimus before and after transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving indium In 111 ibritumomab tiuxetan and yttrium y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan together with rituximab, fludarabine, melphalan, and donor stem cell transplant works in treating patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
BBR 2778 is a novel aza-anthracenedione that has activity in experimental tumors and reduced delayed cardiotoxicity in animal models compared to reference standards. This cytotoxic agent has structural similarities to mitoxantrone as well as general similarities to anthracyclines (such as the tricyclic central quinoid chromophore7). This phase III study will compare the efficacy and safety of the combination BBR 2778, fludarabine, and rituximab with the combination fludarabine and rituximab in patients with relapsed or refractory indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
This study will investigate the efficacy of weekly intravenous obinutuzumab [GA101 (RO5072759)] monotherapy, in patients with relapsed CD20+ indolent Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Patients will be randomized to receive either GA101 or rituximab, given as four weekly infusions. At the conclusion of the initial trial patients may be eligible to continue therapy up to 24 months. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3- 24 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of veliparib when given together with irinotecan hydrochloride in treating patients with cancer that has spread to other parts of the body or that cannot be removed by surgery. Irinotecan hydrochloride can kill cancer cells by damaging the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that is needed for cancer cell survival and growth. Veliparib may block proteins that repair the damaged DNA and may help irinotecan hydrochloride to kill more tumor cells. Giving irinotecan hydrochloride together with veliparib may kill more cancer cells.
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most prevalent subgroup within malignant lymphoma. Clinical benefit has been shown for the treatment with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristin and prednisolone (CHOP regimen); this could be further improved recently by the addition of rituximab (R-CHOP), a monoclonal antibody. Improved response and overall survival rates make it necessary to evaluate late toxicities of the therapy regimens. Cardiotoxicity is a known risk factor of specific chemotherapies, with 7% patients being affected if doxorubicin cumulative doses are under 550mg/sqm. Retrospective data analyses indicate that this incidence of cardiotoxicity may be higher under combination chemotherapy. Liposomal doxorubicin has been shown to have lower cardiotoxic effects and at the same time equivalent or higher efficacy compared to conventional doxorubicin. The aim of this study is to evaluate alternative regimens for the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, substituting liposomal doxorubicin (R-COMP) for conventional doxorubicin (R-CHOP).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether anti-CD80 monoclonal antibody (IDEC-114) is effective in the treatment of follicular B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This drug has never been studied in patients with lymphoma, however, it has been studied in psoriasis patients at various dose levels and schedules.
This is a compassionate use protocol for participants who failed induction chemotherapy + Vaccine on previous trials. These participants then went on to high dose BEAM chemotherapy and transplant, then received idiotype vaccine therapy at 3 months post transplant. Vaccine was given monthly x 4 series, with a fifth series given 12 weeks after the fourth. Participants were then followed annually until progression or death with standard staging.
This study will assess the toxicity/safety of CHOP chemotherapy given concurrently with rituximab, followed by maintenance PEG Intron in patients with anthracycline naïve indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This study will also evaluate response rates, time to progression, molecular response, and immunologic parameters related to this treatment.will have an ocular exam prior to treatment. Patients in this study will receive 6 cycles of combination chemotherapy with the standard CHOP regimen given in conjunction with rituximab. Cycles are repeated at 21-day intervals for six to eight cycles. Patients achieving at least a partial response to chemotherapy will begin PEG Intron at a dose of 2g/kg/week subcutaneously. PEG Intron treatment will be continued for 12 months in the absence of signs of progressive/recurrent disease, or unacceptable toxicity/intolerance of therapy. PEG Intron dosing will be adjusted based on the presence of symptoms or other clinical manifestations of toxicity. Patients will undergo bone marrow evaluation for molecular testing at baseline. Those found to be positive will have repeat assessments performed post induction therapy, and after six months of PEG Intron. Patients will also undergo immunologic evaluation at baseline, post induction therapy, and after six months of PEG Intron. At the end of PEG Intron therapy, patients will have disease reevaluation and then annual data collection for long-term toxicity, duration of response and survival.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the difference in relapse rates and long term event free survival in patients with intermediate grade or immunoblastic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) whose marrow is not obviously involved with NHL who are randomized to receive either an autologous bone marrow (ABMT) or peripheral stem cell transplant (PSCT). All patients with intermediate grade NHL with histologic negative bone marrow who would otherwise meet all eligibility criteria for high-dose therapy and ABMT are eligible for this study. Patients who are eligible will be randomized to either PSCT or ABMT at the time of enrollment into our transplant program.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of 131I-anti-B1 Radioimmunotherapy when combined with high-dose BEAM or BEAC chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The study will also compare the difference in response rates and time to treatment failure between historical control patients receiving high-dose BEAM or BEAC chemotherapy with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant and patients receiving radioimmunotherapy and high-dose BEAM or BEAC chemotherapy with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Patients will receive escalating doses of radioimmunotherapy with anti-B1 radiolabeled with 131Iodine, high-dose carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine and Melphalan (BEAM) chemotherapy, and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
