Filter by:The purpose of this study is to find out whether the addition of blood stem cells from a close family member, when added to umbilical cord blood will make the transplant safer.
This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well giving pegfilgrastim together with rituximab works in treating patients with untreated, relapsed, or refractory follicular lymphoma, small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), or marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). Colony-stimulating factors, such as pegfilgrastim, may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help the immune system recover from the side effects of therapy. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or tumor cancer-killing substances to them. Giving pegfilgrastim together with rituximab may kill more cancer cells
Peripheral T cell lymphomas (PTCL) are a rare hematologic disease. Five-year overall survival (OS) of PTCL patients (pts) ranges between 20 and 30%. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-STC) may have a curative role for these pts but its toxicity is high when myeloablative conditioning is used. Reduced intensity conditionings (RIC) can decrease transplant related toxicity and mortality. The investigators have recently proved feasibility and potential efficacy of a RIC regimen in relapsed PTCL patients. We want to investigate whether it is possible to improve the outcome of alk negative PTCL pts, stage II-IV at diagnosis, by intensifying the therapeutic approach. The intensification will be obtained by combining intensive chemotherapy, alemtuzumab (anti-CD52 humanised antibody) and auto- or allo-SCT in pts aged between 18 and 60 years (Clinical Study A) or adding alemtuzumab to standard chemotherapy (CHOP) in pts aged between 61 and 70 years(Clinical Study B).
The purpose of this trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of Inotuzumab Ozogamicin in combination with R-CVP with that of R-G-CVP for the treatment of Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) in a population of patients not suitable for anthracycline based chemotherapy. There is no standard of care for the treatment of this group of patients. If demonstrated to be efficacious and safe to deliver this regimen will be further tested in a phase III trial to determine whether this should become the standard of care amongst patients with DLBCL not fit for anthracycline (R-CHOP).
The objective of this study is to explore the safety and the preliminary efficacy of two concentrations (0.06% and 0.03%)gel that is applied to lesions of early stage (IA, IB,IIA) Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma patients. This study is supported by grant 1R01FD004092-01A1 from the Office of Orphan Products Development, FDA.
This research is being done to determine if combining an investigational drug called Everolimus with Rituximab can reduce the risk of your cancer from returning after high dose chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to see if a new way of imaging called the Cerenkov luminescence or effect that is used with a standard clinical PET/CT and/or investigation scans can be done in order to capture tumor sizes. The investigators believe endoscopies and surgical procedures could benefit from this type of imaging in the future. The Cerenkov imaging could be used as a guide for surgical resections. The purpose of this study is to use the Cerenkov light from FDG, Iodine-131 tracer sand/or other investigational tracers to image tumors and its sizes in the head, neck, breast, axillary and pelvic regions with a highly sensitive camera. The investigators will be trying to see if we can get another picture of the tumor using the Cerenkov light as part of the standard clinical scan or therapy.
This is a phase II, open-label, multicenter study of the efficacy and safety of sequential administration of CVP x 6 followed by tositumomab and iodine I 131 tositumomab (formerly referred to as tositumomab and iodine I 131 tositumomab). All patients who complete three cycles of CVP, regardless of response, will be eligible for treatment with tositumomab and iodine I 131 tositumomab. Subjects who have rapidly progressive disease prior to completing three cycles of CVP may be removed from study. In order to proceed to tositumomab and iodine I 131 tositumomab therapy, patients must have completed six cycles of CVP within 20 weeks as described. Patients may proceed to Iodine-131 Anti-B1 Antibody if they have progressive disease documented at the response evaluation following 6 cycles of CVP. In addition, patients must still meet the eligibility inclusion exclusion criteria based upon the week 20 assessments, as applicable. Patients must also have an average of ≤25% bone marrow involved by NHL to receive treatment with tositumomab and iodine I 131 tositumomab. The dosimetric dose of tositumomab and iodine I 131 tositumomab must be given within 28 days of the response evaluation following CVP and no later than 56 days from the first day of the sixth cycle of CVP.
A phase 2 study of standard R-BAC (rituximab 375 mg/m2, bendamustine 70 mg/m2, ara-c 800 mg/m2) has been recently ultimated at the Vicenza Hematology Department involving several regional centers on both untreated and previously treated patients with Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL). An interim analysis conducted on 30 patients showed that rituximab + bendamustine + ara-c combination had very good clinical activity, but a quite relevant hematological toxicity, especially in previously treated and older patients (Visco C, ICML 2011 Lugano Conference, Poster 236). Objectives: The primary objective is to determine the activity (complete remission rate according to Cheson 2007 criteria) and safety of age-adjusted Rituximab-Bendamustine-Cytarabine (RBAC500) regimen at the end of treatment in older untreated patients with MCL. The secondary objectives are to determine: - The rate of molecular response (characterized by labs of the FIL) - The progression-free survival (PFS) - The overall survival (OS) - The duration of responses (DOR) - The rate of patients that complete the expected treatment schedule (6 courses) - The rate of patients that are subject to dose reductions or delays
Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) represent 25 to 30% of adult non-Hodgkin lymphomas in western countries. DLBCLs are aggressive cancer but potentially curable with multi-agent chemotherapy. Whereas R-CHOP regimen has led to a marked improvement in survival, this disease remains a biologically heterogeneous entity. New therapeutic strategies are required including identification of patients' subgroups with different prognostic. This project is based on BMS_LyTrans and Goelams 075 clinical trial. A study of whole blood transcriptome in 75 DLBCL patients and in 87 controls showed that PD-L1 (CD274) gene was overexpressed in DLBCL patients. Preliminary results demonstrated that PD-L1 is detected in plasma of DLBCL patients with a significantly higher concentration than in controls. This protein was selected as a potential biomarker because of its established role in anti-tumoral immunity. Interaction between PD-L1 and its receptor PD-1 is known to inhibit activation of immune responses by inducing T-lymphocytes anergy and/or apoptosis. Moreover, a direct involvement of PD-L1 in the protection of cancer cells from lysis by activated T lymphocytes has been demonstrated. PD-L1 expression has been described in several solid tumours, including ovary cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, renal cell carcinoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma and in hematological malignancies such as T-NHL, MM and Hodgkin's lymphoma. Furthermore the expression of PD-L1 by tumour cells is associated with poor prognosis. The blockade of PD-L1/PD-1 axis may represent a novel therapeutic approach in aggressive cancers. These first results incite to identify the cells releasing soluble PD-L1 and to investigate its role in the anti-tumoral immunity in DLBCL patients. The aim of this study is to identify cells producing soluble PD-L1 in DLBCL patients at diagnosis in comparison to others tumours known to express PD-L1 (metastatic breast cancer, Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-small cell lung cancer).
