Filter by:This protocol will develop an observational cohort of PLWH who have been or are being treated with CAR19 therapy outside of an AMC clinical trial. Following regulatory approval of this protocol, sites will be asked to capture information of participants, who carry a diagnosis of HIV disease AND received CAR19 therapy outside of a clinical trial between August 30, 2017 and August 31, 2021. Data captured will include data points are available as part of standard of care for participants undergoing CAR19 therapy. AMC investigators, as well as non-AMC investigators will identify eligible participants to the CIBMTR, who in turn will provide the AMC statistical center with de-identified data
Background: - Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients have a weakened immune system, and chemotherapy, which is used to treat lymphoma, probably causes further damage to the immune system. - Limiting the amount of immune damage due to chemotherapy might decrease the number of infections and the risk of developing cancer in the future in HIV-infected patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Objectives: - To determine whether reducing the total amount of chemotherapy using a specific combination of drugs called EPOCH-R (etoposide, doxorubicin, vincristine, cyclophosphamide and rituximab) will rid the body of lymphoma quickly while decreasing the risk of infections and future cancers. - To determine whether the lymphoma will remain undetectable for at least one year if treatment is stopped one cycle after the patient enters remission. Eligibility: -Patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and HIV infection 4 years of age and older who have not been treated previously with rituximab or cytotoxic chemotherapy. Design: - Patients receive EPOCH-R in 3-week treatment cycles for at least three and no more than six cycles. - The lymphoma is evaluated using computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) scans at the end of treatment cycles 2 and 3. A bone marrow biopsy is repeated after cycle 2 if a biopsy was initially positive on screening for participation in the study. - Anti-HIV therapy is stopped before chemotherapy begins and is restarted when EPOCH-R treatment ends. - Patients are monitored for treatment response with blood tests and imaging scans at baseline, when treatment ends, 2 months after treatment ends and then every 3 to 6 months for a total of 24 months following chemotherapy.
