Filter by:RATIONALE: Giving low doses of chemotherapy, such as fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, and radiation therapy before a donor bone marrow transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. Giving chemotherapy or radiation therapy before or after transplant also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's bone marrow stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune system 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 tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving fludarabine and cyclophosphamide together with total-body irradiation works in treating patients who are undergoing a donor bone marrow transplant for hematologic cancer.
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. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more 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. Giving combination chemotherapy together with rituximab may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving combination chemotherapy together with rituximab works in treating patients with newly diagnosed Burkitt's lymphoma or leukemia.
The purpose of this trial is to investigate the clinical benefit of the dose intensified regimen, Bi-CHOP in comparison to standard CHOP for advanced intermediate or high grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).
This phase II trial is studying how well vorinostat works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory advanced Hodgkin's lymphoma. Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 17-N-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG), work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well 17-AAG works in treating patients with systemic mastocytosis.
This phase II trial is studying how well sorafenib works in treating patients with recurrent diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Sorafenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.
Primary Objective: To determine the safety and efficacy of Campath-1H (Alemtuzumab) in patients with relapsed and resistant classical Hodgkin's lymphoma. Secondary Objectives: 1. To determine the duration of response and time to progression after Campath-1H therapy in this patient population. 2. To determine the effect of Campath-1H on serum IL-6, IL-10, and IL-13 levels in patients with relapsed and resistant classical Hodgkin's lymphoma.
According to amendment 3 this study addresses the question if intensification of administration of rituximab in standard treatment for patients with newly diagnosed aggressive B-Non Hodgkin Lymphoma (B-NHL) and high risk (aaIPI 2 or 3) results in a better time to treatment failure (TTTF)
The primary purpose of this trial is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), or the maximum acceptable dose (MAD) and evaluate the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of oral vorinostat in patients with malignant lymphoma.
This is an investigational study that increases the dosage to determine the safety/tolerability, and efficacy of a histone deacetylase inhibitor in combination with Targretin in patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma in patients who have failed at least one prior systemic therapy.
