Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the effects (good and bad) of the medication basiliximab in combination with cyclosporine with cyclosporine alone for the prevention of graft-versus-host disease. This research is being done because there is no completely safe and effective prevention for graft-versus-host disease. It is known that cyclosporine helps with GVHD but we would like to know if the addition of basiliximab will decrease the incidence and/or severity of GVHD after a transplant known as nonmyeloablative ("mini" transplant).
Patients with mantle cell lymphoma have a grave prognosis. They usually have an initial response to therapy, however progress early in the course of the disease and have very poor survival. We hypothesize that the emergence of drug resistance is responsible for this early failure of therapy and therefore intensive therapy at induction followed by high dose therapy immediately may produce a better outcome.
rituximab and modified (hyperCVAD) administered every 28 days for 4-6 cycles followed by rituximab maintenance therapy consisting of four weekly doses every six months for two years
Patients will receive Rituximab, Bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, Dexamethasone in three week intervals for 6 cycles; then rituximab consolidation (weekly x 4) , then one dose of rituximab every 12 weeks until 5 years or disease progression.
This is a Phase I/II trial designed to study the toxicity and Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of bortezomib in combination with BEAM (carmustine (BCNU), etoposide, cytarabine, melphalan) and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and to obtain a preliminary estimate of the response rate to this combination.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scanning can be used to detect mantle cell lymphoma in the colon. Researchers want to learn if PET/CT scanning can produce good-quality images and/or find the exact locations of lymphoma in the body. Primary Objective is to determine if combined CT colonography and full body PET scan is technically feasible and can produce diagnostic scans as well as accurate anatomic coordination for detection of mantle cell lymphoma involvement of the colon.
The purpose of the study is to determine if outcome for patients with mantle cell lymphoma is improved by adding radioimmunotherapy to high-dose regimen before auto-transplant in patients who are not in CR after induction therapy.
Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) is a malignancy with a poor response to treatment and with a median survival of 2- 4 years since diagnosis. Although histology is similar to that of an indolent lymphoma, MCL is currently considered an aggressive tumour. Few prospective therapeutic trials have been reported in MCL, and results are difficult to interpret due to treatment heterogeneity. It is known that standard chemotherapy for other clinically aggressive lymphomas yields poor results. Recently, better results have been communicated with intense induction chemotherapy treatments or consolidating the response with high dose chemotherapy with stem cell support. Keeping in mind these considerations, we will use and intensive induction treatment with Hyper-CVAD/MTX-AraC associated with anti-CD20 in order to increase the overall response rate followed by consolidation treatment with Ibritumomab -tiuxetan (Zevalin) with the aim of eradicate the minimal residual disease, responsible of relapse.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of bortezomib when given with rituximab and chemotherapy drugs and to see how well they work in treating participants with mantle cell lymphoma. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, dexamethasone, methotrexate, and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving bortezomib, rituximab and combination chemotherapy may work better at treating mantle cell lymphoma.
This single arm study will evaluate the benefit of adding MabThera to standard induction chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed mantle cell lymphoma. The safety and tolerability of a MabThera-containing first line regimen will also be assessed. All patients will receive MabThera (375mg/m2 iv) every 3 weeks for 8 cycles, in combination with standard chemotherapy. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.
