Filter by: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. G-CSF may help lessen the side effects in patients receiving chemotherapy. Imaging procedures, such as fludeoxyglucose F 18-PET/CT imaging, may help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying fludeoxyglucose F 18-PET/CT imaging to see how well it works in assessing response to combination chemotherapy and allow doctors to plan better additional further treatment in treating patients with stage III or stage IV Hodgkin lymphoma.
The sequential combination of myeloablative therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (APBSCT) followed by a reduced intensity allogeneic stem cell transplant (Allo SCT) and post SCT adoptive cellular immunotherapy will be well tolerated in patients with refractory or recurrent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and Hodgkin's disease (HD).
RATIONALE: A personalized Internet-based program may help improve fatigue, depression, and quality of life in long-term survivors of stem cell transplant. It is not yet known whether an Internet-based program is more effective with or without telephone-based problem-solving training. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well an Internet-based program works with or without telephone-based problem-solving training in helping long-term survivors of hematopoietic stem cell transplant cope with late complications
RATIONALE: Ondansetron may help lessen or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing stem cell transplant. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well ondansetron works in preventing nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing stem cell transplant.
This study has the following objectives: Primary Objective - To evaluate the anti-lymphoma efficacy of daily oral doses of ITF2357 followed by intravenous Mechlorethamine administered to patients with refractory/relapsed Hodgkin's lymphoma. Secondary Objective - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple courses of ITF2357 followed by Mechlorethamine in a population of chemotherapy pretreated patients.
This is a multi-center, phase 1b study of AMG 655 in combination with bortezomib or vorinostat in subjects with relapsed or refractory low grade lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, diffuse large cell lymphoma, and Hodgkin's disease. Part 1 is an open-label, dose-escalation phase (3+3 design) to determine the safety, tolerability and maximum tolerated dose of AMG 655 in combination with bortezomib or vorinostat. Subjects will be enrolled into one of two arms based on investigator selection (either the bortezomib + AMG 655 arm or vorinostat + AMG 655 arm). Part 2 of the study is a dose expansion phase that will commence after dose selection of AMG 655 in combination with bortezomib in Part 1. In Part 2, subjects (n = 20) with mantle cell lymphoma will be given AMG 655 in combination with bortezomib. The dose of AMG 655 used in combination with bortezomib will be based on safety and pharmacokinetic information obtained from Part 1 as well as from ongoing AMG 655 trials.
The purpose of this study is to define an improvement in patients: - To evaluate if patients resistant to the initial treatment for residual PET-positive masses after the first two courses of ABVD (PET-2 positive), can be salvaged by early shift to high-dose chemotherapy supported by stem cell rescue - To analyse if patients achieving early complete response (PET-2 negative), can be spared the adjuvant radiotherapy on areas of initial bulky disease, at the end of the planned six courses of ABVD. To answer this question, PET-2 negative patients will be randomized between radiotherapy versus no radiotherapy at the end of ABVD therapy.
This study of MK-8776 (SCH 900776) will evaluate its safety and tolerability when given as monotherapy or in combination with gemcitabine to participants with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma. Participants will be enrolled in cohorts that will receive sequentially higher doses of MK-8776 in combination with standard doses of gemcitabine The recommended combination doses for a Phase 2 trial (combination-RP2D) will be determined based on safety and biological activity. Up to 10 to 15 additional participants may be studied at the combination-RP2D.
Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as FAU, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of FAU in treating patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma.
We are interested in patient-specific factors that may affect the balance of recipient cells and donor cells in patients who receive stem cell transplants. We will look at the way the patient's body breaks down two drugs, fludarabine and mycophenolate mofetil, and how these two drugs affect the patient's body.
