Filter by:This study assesses the quality of life in patients with cutaneous lymphoma diagnosis as it relates to their personal, clinical, and therapeutic information using the Skindex29 questionnaire and also assesses patients' understanding of their diagnosis and need for resources related to their care. Cutaneous lymphomas are a rare type of blood cancers (non-Hodgkin lymphoma) that present in the skin. The information gained from this study, may help researchers improve quality of life in cutaneous lymphoma patients.
Cutaneous lymphomas are a heterogeneous group of extra-nodal lymphomas. The prognosis of cutaneous lymphomas is extremely variable from one subject to another. In the majority of cases, there is no cure for cutaneous lymphomas. Cutaneous lymphomas primarily affect the skin, and secondarily the blood, lymph nodes and possibly other organs. The discovery of new molecular prognostic factors will allow a better identification of patients at high risk of aggressive evolution and the implementation of a personalized therapeutic strategy. The identification of new therapeutic targets is necessary in order to develop new innovative treatments for cutaneous lymphomas.The primary objective is to identify novel molecular prognostic factors associated with 5-year overall survival in cutaneous lymphoma.
The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease. No single way is perfect for fighting cancer. This research study combines two different ways of fighting disease: antibodies and T cells. Antibodies are proteins that protect the body from disease caused by bacteria or toxic substances. Antibodies work by binding bacteria or substances, which stops them from growing and causing bad effects. T cells, also called T lymphocytes, are special infection-fighting blood cells that can kill other cells, including tumor cells or cells that are infected with bacteria or viruses. Both antibodies and T cells have been used to treat patients with cancers. They both have shown promise, but neither alone has been sufficient to treat cancer. This study will combine both T cells and antibodies in order to create a more effective treatment called Autologous T Lymphocyte Chimeric Antigen Receptor cells targeted against the CD30 antigen (ATLCAR.CD30). Another treatment being tested includes the Autologous T Lymphocyte Chimeric Antigen Receptor cells targeted against the CD30 antigen with CCR4 (ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4) to help the cells move to regions in the patient's body where the cancer is present. Participants in this study will receive either ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 cells alone or will receive ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 cells combined with ATLCAR.CD30 cells. Previous studies have shown that a new gene can be put into T cells that will increase their ability to recognize and kill cancer cells. The new gene that is put in the T cells in this study makes an antibody called anti-CD30. This antibody sticks to lymphoma cells because of a substance on the outside of the cells called CD30. Anti-CD30 antibodies have been used to treat people with lymphoma but have not been strong enough to cure most patients. For this study, the anti-CD30 antibody has been changed so instead of floating free in the blood it is now joined to the T cells. When an antibody is joined to a T cell in this way it is called a chimeric receptor. These CD30 chimeric (combination) receptor-activated T cells (ATLCAR.CD30) can kill some of the tumor, but they do not last very long in the body and so their chances of fighting the cancer are unknown. Researchers are working to identify ways to improve the ability of ATLCAR.CD30 to destroy tumor cells. T cells naturally produce a protein called CCR4 which functions as a navigation system directing T cells toward tumor cells specifically. In this study, researchers will also genetically modify ATLCAR.CD30 cells to produce more CCR4 proteins and they will be called ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4. The study team believes that the ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 cells will be guided directly toward the tumor cells based on their navigation system. In addition, the study team believes the majority of ATLCAR.CD30 cells will also be guided directly toward tumor cells when given together with ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4, increasing their anti-cancer fighting ability. This is the first time ATLCAR>CD30.CCR4 cells or combination of ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 and ATLCAR.CD30 cells are used to treat lymphoma. The purpose of this study to determine the following: - What is the safe dose of ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 cells to give to patients - What is the safe dose of the combination of ATLCAR.CD30 and ATLCAR.CD30.CCR4 cells to give to patients
Evaluation of the mechanism of Action of talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) in patients with locally advanced non-melanoma skin cancer.
This a multi-center, single arm, open-label, Phase I dose-finding and preliminary efficacy study of the combination of the histone deacetylase inhibitor romidepsin (Istodax®) in combination with doxorubicin HCl liposomal (Doxil®) for adult patients with relapsed or refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphoma after at least 2 lines of skin-directed therapy or one prior line of systemic therapy. Patients will be treated with Doxil 20mg/m2 on day 1 and romidepsin 8-14mg/m2 on days 1, 8 and 15, every 28 days, until 2 cycles beyond the best response, 8 cycles, disease progression or intolerability whichever comes first. Importantly, doxil is administered prior to romidepsin on day1 of each cycle. Patients will be followed until disease progression or death whichever comes first.
The goal of this study is to identify genetic changes associated with the initiation, progression, and treatment response of response of cutaneous and hematologic disorders using recently developed high-throughput sequencing technologies. The improved understanding of the genetic changes associated with cutaneous and hematologic disorders may lead to improved diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic options for these disorders.
The purpose of this study is to learn the effects of an investigational medication, SGN 35, on patients with mycosis fungoides. Despite a wide range of therapeutic options, the treatments are associated with short response duration, thus this condition is largely incurable. This investigational drug may offer less toxicity than standard treatments and have better tumor specific targeting.
The purpose of this study is to determine if vorinostat combined with low-dose total skin electron beam therapy (TSEBT) offers superior clinical benefit (efficacy & safety) over low-dose TSEBT alone in participants with mycosis fungoides (MF) Treatment in this study is TSEBT +/- vorinostat, with participants stratified by MF stage.
Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) are used for transplantation in patients undergoing high dose therapy for the treatment of a range of cancers. - HSPC are collected from the bloodstream after treatment with medications that cause the HSPC to move from the bone marrow into the bloodstream, a process called mobilization - between 5 and 60% of patients can fail to collect enough HSPC for a transplant, using current mobilization techniques - this study aims to assess the safety of combining a derivative of vitamin A, ATRA with G-CSF (the drug most commonly used to mobilize HSPC) - ATRA has never been combined with G-CSF for mobilization of HSPC and therefore a study is needed to assess the safety of this combination, and whether it successfully mobilizes HSPC
