Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if a subcutaneous (SC) dosing schedule of veltuzumab can be established in NHL or CLL patients and to confirm the safety and efficacy of veltuzumab that was previously established when administered intravenously.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of lenalidomide and to define the maximum tolerated escalation dose level (MTEDL) when administered by a stepwise dose-escalation schedule in subjects with relapsed or refractory B-cell CLL.
300 patients, starting a new pharmacological treatment for B-CLL, were enrolled by 36 Italian Centres for assessing the Quality of Life (QoL). A descriptive analysis of QoL and the correlation of the age, sex, stage of disease, Time from first B-CLL diagnosis, Number of previous B-CLL treatments, reason of starting of the new B-CLL treatment: therapeutic Regimen, type of Centre, B-CLL treatment lasting, response to B-CLL treatment.
This randomized phase III trial is studying fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab to see how well they work compared to fludarabine and cyclophosphamide in treating patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide in previously untreated CLL patients. Participants will receive fludarabine and cyclophosphamide on days 1, 2, and 3 of six 28-day cycles.
In this study participants with relapsed/refractory leukemia will be given MK-0457 in sequential cohorts and with varying treatment duration to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for MK-0457.
This study is for patients that have chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). This research study aims to determine the safety and dosage of special cells that may make the patients own immune system fight the cancer. To do this, we will put a special gene into cancer cells that have been taken from the patients body. This will be done in the laboratory. This gene will make the cells produce interleukin 2 (IL-2), which is a natural substance that may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Additionally, we will stimulate the cancer cells with another natural protein called CD40 ligand (CD40L), which experiments in animal and human cells in vitro demonstrated can help IL-2 perform better. Some of these cells will then be put back into the patient's body. Studies of cancers in animals and in cancer cells that are grown in laboratories suggest that combining substances like IL-2 and CD40L helps the body kill cancer cells. An experimental treatment similar to this has already been used in children and similar experimental treatments are being used in adults with other cancers.
Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining rituximab and rasburicase with combination chemotherapy in treating young patients who have newly diagnosed advanced B-cell leukemia or lymphoma. Monoclonal antibodies such as rituximab can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug with rituximab may kill more cancer cells. Chemoprotective drugs such as rasburicase may protect kidney cells from the side effects of chemotherapy.
