Filter by:Determine the relapse-free, donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI)-free survival in patients receiving the investigational regimen.This is a randomized phase II clinical trial, comparing two different dosing schedules of mycophenolate mofetil for graft versus host disease (GVHD) prevention following allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Risk for relapse, GVHD and non-relapse mortality will be assessed. Adaptive randomization between two study arms will be performed based on T cell counts at day 60.
The study is a prospective registry of Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) patients in Brazil. The purpose of the study is to gather clinical, epidemiologic and outcomes data on the treatment of HL, on the basis of records collected by key Brazilian institutions, through a centralized web-based registry of clinical data verified by central board of hematopathologists.
This study evaluates the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of tinostamustine (EDO-S101) in patients with relapsed/refractory hematologic malignancies. All patients will receive tinostamustine.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety profile and antitumor activity of brentuximab vedotin administered in combination with nivolumab in patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma (HL)
An early phase II, single arm, two stage study, to investigate the level of activity, duration of response and tolerability of brentuximab vedotin (SGN-35), as a single agent, utilising a response adapted approach, in older, frailer or co-morbid patients with previously untreated Hodgkin lymphoma. Opened Feb 2014 and will recruit over 18 months. Duration of treatment will be dependent on the patients' response (see schema below) with a maximum of 16 cycles over 48 weeks. At the end of treatment patients will be assessed clinically at 3 months intervals and by CT scan at 15, 18, 24 and 36 months. For those still alive and disease free after 2 years, follow-up will be according to local practice.
Anthracyclines were basic drugs in lymphoma treatment. However, their dose accumulation related cardiac toxicity limits their clinical application, especially adriamycin. Adriamycin has been gradually replaced by epirubicin. Polyethylene glycol liposome doxorubicin (PLD) can go into tumor tissues through tumor angiogenesis and produces targeted killing effect to tumor tissues. PLD has potential advantages in the treatment of malignant tumors,including lymphoma.
The study hypotheses is that the introduction of dose escalated thiotepa, in substitution to busulfan or melphalan, will reduce toxicity after allogeneic transplantation while improving disease eradication in patients with lymphoid malignancies not eligible for standard transplantation.
Limited stage Hodgkin lymphoma is a highly curable disease, but standard treatment with ABVD chemotherapy and radiation can lead to late risks of secondary cancers, lung injury, heart injury, and others. This trial eliminates radiation therapy and reduces intensity of chemotherapy by incorporating the highly active FDA-approved targeted therapy brentuximab vedotin, an antibody-drug conjugate specifically against the lymphoma cells, combined with the standard chemotherapy drugs Adriamycin and Dacarbazine (AD).
Researchers at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital want to investigate the feasibility of a yoga intervention for adolescents receiving treatment for lymphoma or leukemia. Adolescents who participate in the program may experience improved physical and psychosocial measures. Improvements in these areas may increase participation in meaningful activity and improve quality of life. Adolescents diagnosed with cancer may experience more fatigue, anxiety and pain during treatment. Yoga is considered a complementary alternative medicine (CAM) that has been implemented into some pediatric oncology rehabilitation programs and has been shown to be beneficial in both inpatient and outpatient settings. It may decrease anxiety and increase quality of life and hamstring flexibility in teens. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: - To determine the feasibility of yoga intervention for adolescents during lymphoma and leukemia treatment. OTHER PRE-SPECIFIED OBJECTIVE: - To obtain pilot data regarding efficacy of yoga on pain, quality of life, fatigue and physical performance.
Treatment outcome with ABVD in elderly patients remains inferior to adults. Moreover, Bleomycin-induced lung toxicity in the elderly has been reported as high as 46%. For these reasons, questions arise whether ABVD could be still considered the standard treatment in HL patients aged > than 60. Regimens containing other alkylators such as CHOP proved even superior to ABVD, with a 3-y PFS of 67%. Frontline treatment of advanced-stage HL with Brentuximab Vedotin (BV) in association with AVD (Doxorubicin, Vinblastine, Dacarbazine) proved very active in a pioneer study, reporting the preliminary results of a phase 1 multicentre trial, in which the percentage of patients achieving CR was as high as 92%. For all these reason the investigators decided to test the association of an alkylator with an innovative mechanism of action and a very safe toxicity profile in the elderly such as Bendamustine (Be) with BV in untreated elderly HL patients. The combination of BV and Be, investigated in this study, might represent an innovative treatment alternative for HL patients older than 60 years of age, especially for those of them in whom ABVD chemotherapy, the current standard front-line treatment, is not suitable. However, even when ABVD is given as upfront treatment for elderly HL patients, it is associated with substantial dose reduction, treatment delay, toxicity, and treatment-related mortality, with treatment outcomes remaining much inferior to those obtained in younger patients. This drug association is expected to be safe, well-tolerated and to demonstrate higher efficiency compared with ABVD. In this setting, it is expected that this therapy could be offered to the large majority of elderly patients with a full treatment completion reached in up to 80% of these patients. Thus, the aim of this study will be to assess safety and efficacy of the above association.
