Filter by:The aim of the research in this study is to make participants' transplant safer by reducing the risk of developing GVHD and GVHD-related complications by giving participants a dose of the drug tocilizumab in addition to the standard approach for GVHD prevention. Tocilizumab reduces the risk of inflammation by blocking the effect of Interleukin-6, a protein that exists in high levels in the blood when there is inflammation. Participants who receive stem cell transplants have high levels of this protein in their blood early after transplant. Therefore, the goal of this study is to reduce the risk of inflammation after transplant with the addition of Tocilizumab. This could decrease the risk of developing GVHD and GVHD-associated complications.
This study will examine the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in combination with chemotherapy in children and young adults with newly diagnosed classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL) who are slow early responders (SERs) to frontline chemotherapy.
While thoracic radiation therapy (TRT) has been a primary component in successful treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma, exposure to this treatment has been associated with significant cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and pulmonary morbidity in long-term survivors. Survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) are also at risk for fatigue and excessive daytime sleepiness. Insufficient sleep is recognized as an important public health concern, and is associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, neurocognitive problems, and reduced quality of life and productivity. Survivors of HL, who are already at risk for cardiac and neurologic morbidity due to their treatment exposures, could face catastrophic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events with the added risk associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The investigators propose to examine indices of sleep quality using polysomnography, and associated neurocognitive performance, brain MRI, and structure and strength of neck muscles in 220 long-term adult survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma treated with thoracic radiation. OBJECTIVES: 1. To estimate the prevalence of OSA in adult survivors of HL treated with thoracic radiation, and compare the frequency to community controls matched on age, gender, race and body mass index. 2. To identify specific therapeutic factors associated with OSA in adult survivors of HL treated with thoracic radiation. 3. To identify biomarkers of OSA in adult survivors of HL treated with thoracic radiation. 4. To examine associations between OSA and cardiac morbidity and brain integrity in the adult survivors of HL treated with thoracic radiation.
This is a single-arm, phase II, multi-centre study of the safety and efficacy of the PD-1 inhibitor, nivolumab, as second-line or third-line salvage therapy as a bridge to stem cell transplant (SCT) in relapsed/ refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma patients not achieving a complete metabolic response (CMR) on FDG-PET-CT scan after first or second line salvage therapy.
The purpose of this study is to test how safe and effective the research study drug, pembrolizumab is as a treatment for patients with Hodgkin lymphoma who have not previously been treated for this disease and are unsuitable for standard treatment (adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine ABVD).
This phase Ib/2 trial studies how well chemotherapy, total body irradiation, and post-transplant cyclophosphamide work in reducing rates of graft versus host disease in patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing a donor stem cell transplant. Drugs used in the chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate and melphalan hydrochloride, 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 chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient, they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells (called graft versus host disease). Giving cyclophosphamide after the transplant may stop this from happening.
The FIL-Rouge is a randomized, open-label, multicenter, phase III, 2-arm study. The primary objective is to compare efficacy and tolerability of the intensified variant 'dose-dense/dose-intense ABVD' (ABVD DD-DI) with an interim PET response-adapted ABVD program as upfront therapy in advanced-stage classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL).
This is a phase II trial using a non-myeloablative cyclophosphamide/ fludarabine/total body irradiation (TBI) preparative regimen with modifications based on factors including diagnosis, disease status, and prior treatment. Single or double unit selected according to current University of Minnesota umbilical cord blood graft selection algorithm.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in the treatment of participants with relapsed or refractory Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma. Participants will be randomized to receive either pembrolizumab or brentuximab vedotin (BV) for up to 35 three-week cycles of treatment. The primary hypotheses of this study are that treatment with pembrolizumab prolongs Progression-free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) in participants with relapsed or refractory Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma compared to treatment with BV.
This clinical trial studies the use of reduced intensity chemotherapy and radiation therapy before donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Giving low doses of chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and fludarabine phosphate, before a donor stem cell transplant may help stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Reducing the intensity of the chemotherapy and radiation may also reduce the side effects of the donor stem cell transplant.
