Filter by:This phase I trial studies the best dose and side effects of romidepsin when given in combination with ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide in treating participants with peripheral T-cell lymphoma that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Romidepsin may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving romidepsin, ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide may work better in treating participants with peripheral T-cell lymphoma.
DS-3078a will be evaluated as a single agent in subjects with advanced solid tumor malignancies or lymphomas refractory to standard treatment or for which no standard treatment is available.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of AZD 1208 up to a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and define the dose(s) for further clinical evaluation when given daily to patients with advanced solid malignancies including malignant lymphoma
A life threatening disease such as cancer may lead to post traumatic stress disorder, and even when reporting low levels of side-effects from cancer disease and treatment, 80% report high levels of stress symptoms. The purpose of the present randomised controlled trial is to examine the psychosocial effects of a stress management intervention based on cognitive behaviour therapy and with focus on increased physical activity in patients with various cancer diagnoses using a stepped-care approach. When using a stepped-care approach it is possible to study the level and intensity of stress management intervention required to achieve increased well-being. A cost-utility analysis will also be performed. 300 adult patients with a recent diagnosis of breast-, colorectal- prostate, testicular cancer or lymphoma and scheduled for adjuvant and/or curative oncologic treatment at Haukeland University Hospital, will be consecutively included in the prospective intervention study. The patients will be randomized to intervention or control. In step 1, all patients in the intervention group (I-a) will receive 2 counselling sessions. Patients who report clinically significant levels of stress, such as intrusive thoughts/avoidance behaviour (measured by Impact of Event Scale) and/or worry and depressions (measured by Hospital and Depression Scale) will be included in Step 2 (I-b) and include another 4-7 counselling sessions. There will also be a focus on motivating to increase physical activity level. Both the intervention (I) and control group (C) are allowed to take part in the common rehabilitation program with patient education and physical training. Data will be collected with self-reported standardized questionnaires. Objectively measures of physical activity level, sleep and daily energy expenditure are recorded with SenseWear™ Pro3 Armband. Measure point is at inclusion and than after 6 week, 4, 8, 12 and 24 month.
This randomized phase I trial studies the side effects of vaccine therapy in preventing cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in patients with hematological malignancies undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Vaccines made from a tetanus-CMV peptide or antigen may help the body build an effective immune response and prevent or delay the recurrence of CMV infection in patients undergoing donor stem cell transplant for hematological malignancies.
Background: - Lymphoma rates in Asia have been lower than in the West, but rates have been rising in recent years. Most studies of lymphoma patients have been conducted in the West. Less information is available about the factors that might contribute to the rise of lymphoma in Asia. Researchers want to collect medical and personal histories and samples from people who have recently been diagnosed with lymphoma. This information will help them study possible reasons for this increase. Objectives: - To collect samples and histories as part of an introductory study of lymphoma in Asia. Eligibility: - People between 18 and 79 years of age who have entered study hospitals in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and mainland China for treatment for any type of lymphoma. - Healthy volunteers between 18 and 79 who have never had lymphoma. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. - They will provide blood samples and cheek cell samples for testing. - Participants will complete a questionnaire about their personal health history. They will answer questions about exposures to chemicals like pesticides. They will also be asked about family medical history and work and residential history. Finally they will answer questions about lifestyle factors like diet and exercise. - They will give permission for the researchers to see their medical records. Researchers will also have access to any tumor samples collected as part of treatment.
Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZBL) of the mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT-lymphoma) represents a distinct clinical entity and is the most common form of extranodal lymphoma, with a predilection for the stomach. About 90% of gastric MALT-lymphomas are associated with infection with Helicobacter pylori (HP) and eradication of the pathogen leads to regression of the tumor in a high percentage of patients at early tumour stages. Nevertheless, following complete remission after HP-eradication, the risk of relapse justifies lifelong follow-up examinations. Supported by recent findings at the investigators department, endoscopic controls should include a close examination of the small bowel, as relapses can involve different gastrointestinal sites. To continue the investigators diagnostic approach as well as to further improve the detection rate of MALT-lymphoma relapses, the investigators plan to introduce the novel confocal laser endomicroscope (CLE) into the diagnostic management of MALT-lymphoma patients. In the context of a prospective clinical pilot trial the investigators aim to establish MALT-lymphoma specific CLE-markers that can be used for the in vivo diagnosis of the disease. Comparing endomicroscopic findings, drawn from the stomach and small bowel of 50 MALT-lymphoma patients who will undergo staging or follow up endoscopies at the investigators department, to the histological evaluation of biopsy samples as present gold standard, the investigators want to determine whether CLE can provide reliable data for the accurate detection of MALT-lymphoma associated changes. Endomicroscopic aspects of patients with chronic gastritis, gastric adenocarcinoma and healthy subjects should serve as controls. In comparison to random biopsies which represent the current standard, the investigators aim to prove, whether endomicroscopy will find MALT-lymphoma lesions more accurately and thus help to spare patients unnecessary biopsies.
This study is to determine first the appropriate dose of lenalidomide to administer in combination with fixed doses of obinutuzumab in relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma patients. In a second step, this study aims to determine the efficacy of this combination in 3 separate populations: relapsed/refractory aggressive lymphoma (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma: cohort 1), relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma (cohort 2) and previously untreated follicular lymphoma (cohorts 3 and 4).
This study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose limiting toxicity (DLT), safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of a single agent CKD-581 injection in patients with Lymphoma failed to standard therapy. The usefulness of the this regimen is evaluated by response rate, progression free survival.
The standard chemotherapy for Hodgkin lymphoma is called ABVD which is a combination of 4 chemotherapy drugs (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine). The number of cycles of ABVD chemotherapy Hodgkin lymphoma patients receive is about 4-6 cycles. In addition to the ABVD chemotherapy, patients with Hodgkin lymphoma will routinely receive radiation therapy. The use of chemotherapy and radiation may cause long term treatment related side effects such as heart problems and other cancers. Researchers are trying to find if combining ABVD chemotherapy with new drugs and reducing the number of ABVD chemotherapy cycles given is just as effective as the standard Hodgkin treatment. Brentuximab vedotin is approved by the United States Food and Drug administration (FDA) for the treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back (relapsed). For this research study, the use of brentuximab vedotin in newly diagnosed Hodgkin lymphoma is considered investigational. Brentuximab vedotin is an antibody that also has a chemotherapy drug attached to it. Antibodies are proteins that are part of your immune system. They can stick to and attack specific targets on cells. The antibody part of the brentuximab vedotin sticks to a target called cluster of differentiation antigen 30 (CD30). CD30 is an important molecule on some cancer cells and some normal cells of the immune system. The purpose of this research study is to see the effects of treatment with fewer cycles of the combination chemotherapy, ABVD, followed by the study drug brentuximab vedotin has on study participants and Hodgkins lymphoma.
