Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether Forodesine Hydrochloride is effective in treating patients with relapsed/refractory precursor T-Lymphoblastic Leukemia/Lymphoma who have failed two or more prior treatment regimens.
Nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma is a peculiar clinico-pathologic subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Although most patients present with stage I/II, only 30-60% of the patients remain disease-free. The efficacy of the conventional anthracycline-based chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone [CHOPP]) has been unsatisfactory. The optimal treatment of localized NK/T-cell lymphoma has not been defined yet. The optimal dose, sequence, and multi-modality treatment with involved field radiotherapy still need to be refined. This trial is to evaluate the efficacy of concurrent chemoradiotherapy with cisplatin followed by VIPD (etoposide, ifosfamide, cisplatin, dexamethasone) in localized NK/T-cell lymphoma patients.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as chlorambucil, vinblastine, procarbazine, and prednisolone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) together with radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well giving combination chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy works in treating young patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
RATIONALE: 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 rituximab intrathecally may be an effective treatment for recurrent CNS lymphoma. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of intrathecal rituximab in treating patients with recurrent CNS lymphoma.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells. Giving combination chemotherapy together with radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving combination chemotherapy together with radiation therapy works in treating young patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. 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 rituximab together with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects and best ways to give combination chemotherapy together with rituximab in treating patients with newly diagnosed primary CNS lymphoma.
RATIONALE: Epoetin alfa and darbepoetin alfa may cause the body to make more red blood cells. They are used to treat anemia caused by chemotherapy in patients with cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying four different schedules of epoetin alfa or darbepoetin alfa to compare how well they work in treating patients with anemia caused by chemotherapy.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well radiation therapy or combination chemotherapy work in treating young patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as clofarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of clofarabine and to see how well it works in treating patients with T-cell or natural killer-cell lymphoma that has relapsed or not responded to previous treatment.
RATIONALE: Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as iodine I 131 tositumomab and yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan, can find cancer cells and carry cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. This may be an effective treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects, best dose, and how well iodine I 131 tositumomab or yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan works in treating patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
