Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate three things. The first being whether azacitidine is absorbed in the body at the same rate or proportion for different concentrations. The second is to determine the effect renal impairment has or does not have on the absorption of azacitidine. The third is to determine if azacitidine is safe and well tolerated in patients with renal function impairment.
The purpose of this study is to determine if we can prevent Epstein Barr Virus lymphomas by the monthly administration of an (antibody) protein against B lymphocytes called Rituximab. Although this medicine has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat patients with other types of lymphomas, and has been used to treat a small number of patients with EBV lymphomas and other types of B-cell leukemias, it has not been approved to try and prevent EBV-lymphomas. Use of Rituximab to try to prevent EBV-lymphomas is therefore experimental.
The purpose of this study is to provide allogeneic stem cell transplantation to patients who have not traditionally undergone this procedure because of it high incidence of treatment related side effects. We hope to decrease these side effects by decreasing the chemotherapy dose prior to transplant (non-myeloablative, smaller dose of chemotherapy given so bone marrow is not completely eliminated) and by using donated stem cells to treat cancer of the blood.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the addition of Bortezomib (Velcade) to IGEV combination (Ifosfamide, Gemcitabine and Vinorelbine) in patients with relapsed/refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma increases the rate of complete remission (PET negativity) at transplantation.
To establish the safety and tolerability profile of MDX-1401 in patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's Lymphoma (HL).
You may have a type of cancer associated with "antineuronal antibodies" in your blood. Antibodies are substances made by the immune system. They are used by the body to fight infections and other diseases. Antineuronal antibodies are antibodies that react with nerve cells but they also react with some tumors. We believe that the immune system makes these antibodies to fight the cancer. In some patients with these antibodies, the tumor is smaller than in patients who have no antibodies. Sometimes, with a very strong antibody test, patients may develop neurologic problems such as weakness, numbness or memory loss. One purpose of this study is to determine if a patient with cancer and a positive antineuronal antibody blood test has a smaller tumor and responds better to treatment than a patient with cancer and a negative test. Another purpose of this study is to determine whether patients with a positive antibody test develop neurologic problems such as weakness, numbness or memory loss. We will measure your blood for several different kinds of antibodies in addition to antineuronal antibodies to determine if the presence of antibodies predicts "prognosis", i.e. smaller tumor and better response to treatment, or predicts the development of neurologic problems. No tissue samples are required for this study. However, if tissue or sputum is obtained by your oncologist for diagnostic purposes, we will ask your doctors or the pathology department to provide us with samples of these specimens. This will not involve any additional surgery or discomfort to you.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of dasatinib in treating patients with solid tumors or lymphomas that are metastatic or cannot be removed by surgery. Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
An open-label, multi-dose, single-arm, Phase 1 dose escalation study of XmAb®2513 was conducted to define the MTD or recommended dose(s) for further study, to determine safety and tolerability, to characterize PK and immunogenicity, and to evaluate antitumor activity of XmAb2513 in patients with HL and ALCL (non-cutaneous) and who have received two or more prior therapeutic regimens. There will be no intra-patient dose escalation.
Results to date of umbilical cord blood transplantation in adult and fully mature adolescent patients are inferior to what is seen in children, due to a lower stem cell dosage in adults and a more toxic conditioning regimen. This phase 1 protocol will use a potentially less toxic bone marrow conditioning regimen, followed by infusion of a combined umbilical cord blood graft that will provide the patient with a higher stem cell dose than can be given with a single umbilical cord blood infusion. The subjects will be conditioned with a total body irradiation (TBI) 13.5 Gy and fludarabine. Following conditioning, up to two unrelated, partially matched umbilical cord blood grafts will be infused that will provide a minimum nucleated cell dose of 3 x 10e7/kg . The primary objective of this study is to measure the frequency of treatment-related toxicity and engraftment.
This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vorinostat when given together with rituximab, ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide and to see how well they work in treating patients with relapsed or refractory lymphoma or previously untreated T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma or mantle cell lymphoma. Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving vorinostat together with rituximab and combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells
