Filter by:This pilot phase II trial studies how well giving donor T cells after donor stem cell transplant works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. In a donor stem cell transplant, the donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Giving an infusion of the donor's T cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) after the transplant may help increase this effect.
This retrospective study is aimed at evaluating the safety and efficacy of rituximab-containing immunochemotherapy in adult patients with Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) or high-grade B-cell lymphoma, unclassifiable, with features intermediate between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and BL.
The probability to achieve CR with R-chemotherapy in patients failing a rituximab containing first line regimen is quite low, in particular in cases with non GCB profile. The bioCORAL trial suggest that ABC subset have a dismal outcome whichever the induction treatment. Thus it can be argued the addition of new molecule to the RDHAP regimen could be of value. Bortezomib appears the best candidate in this setting as ABC subtypes constitutively express NFkb, which is the target of bortezomib itself. Data from the literature suggest an encouraging activity of R-chemo+ bortezomib in non GCB-derived DLBCL, although in small series. Thus, the addition of bortezomib is here justified by the need to circumvent constitutional resistance to chemotherapy. Published experience of the association between bortezomib and cytarabine are also encouraging with acceptable cumulative toxicity.
The main aims of this clinical study are to find out the maximum dose that can be given safely to patients, the potential side effects of the drug and how they can be managed. The study will also look at what happens to Anti-CD19 (DI-B4) inside the body. DI-B4 is a type of drug called an Anti-CD19 monoclonal antibody which is being used to stop the growth and kill cancerous immune cells by targeting the B-cell marker (CD-19) expressed on their surface. This drug has not been given to patients before. DI-B4 will be given weekly by intravenous infusion for four weeks. The study is in two parts. In Part 1, small groups of patients will be treated at increasing doses to find the highest safest dose and best dose for part 2 of the study. Approximately 16-20 patients will be treated in this part. In Part 2, the dose identified in Part 1 will be given to approximately 20 patients. Patients recruited to the study will receive four weeks (cycles) of treatment. They will attend an end of therapy visit eight weeks after their last dose of DI-B4, and attend follow-up visits up to eighteen months after their first dose of DI-B4. Information on the overall and progression free survival will be collected for a period up to eighteen months after the final patient is treated on the study. Patients will have blood and urine samples taken each week during treatment amongst other clinical tests. CT scans will be performed at the start of the study, at eight weeks post treatment and six months after the study start. Bone marrow biopsies and FDG-PET scans will only be taken if needed. Research blood samples will also be taken to look at what happens to the drug inside the body. It is important to explain that patients will have advanced cancer so it is unlikely that patients will benefit directly from taking part but the study may help improve future treatment of cancer.
The main aims of this clinical study are to find out the maximum dose that can be given safely to patients, the potential side effects of the drug and how they can be managed and what happens to AZD3965 inside the body. AZD3965 is a type of drug called a monocarboxylate transporter 1 inhibitor which is being used to stop the growth of cancer cells and kill cancer cells by blocking the action of one of the proteins involved in moving chemical compounds in and out of the cells of the body. This will be the first time that this type of drug has been given to patients. The drug is a capsule and is taken daily. The study is in two parts. In Part 1 of the study, small groups of patients are treated at increasing doses to find the highest safe dose and best dose to give to patients in Part 2 of the study. It is planned that 40 patients will be entered into Part 1 of the trial. In Part 2, the dose found to be safe in Part 1 is given to patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Burkitt's lymphoma (BL). It is planned that 20 patients will be entered into Part 2 of the trial. Patients will need to visit the hospital weekly for two months and then every fortnight. Patients will have regular blood and urine tests, scans, heart traces and eye tests amongst other clinical tests. Research blood samples will also be taken to look at what happens to the drug inside the body. Treatment is planned to be given for up to 6 months, but patients benefiting from treatment will be able to keep having it for as long as they continue to benefit. It is important to explain that this is the first study of this drug and patients will have advanced cancer so it is unlikely that patients will benefit directly from taking part but the study may help improve future treatment of cancer.
This pilot phase II trial studies how well giving vorinostat, tacrolimus, and methotrexate works in preventing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after stem cell transplant in patients with hematological malignancies. Vorinostat, tacrolimus, and methotrexate may be an effective treatment for GVHD caused by a bone marrow transplant.
Multicenter prospective open-label non-randomised phase I/II study in patients with relapsed or refractory CD20-positive aggressive lymphomas Phase I: Dose escalation of methotrexate and cytarabine (days 1, 8 and 15 of each 28-day cycle) in a 3 + 3 design with fixed doses of lenalidomide (days 1 - 21) and rituximab (day 1), maximum 6 cycles Phase II: Treatment of 20 patients at maximum tolerated doses of phase I
This is a phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SGN-CD19A in patients with relapsed or refractory B-lineage non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL)
This is an open label, 3 + 3 dose escalation study, to determine the MTD, safety, efficacy and PK profiles for subjects with relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies when using CC-292 and lenalidomide combination therapy. Subjects will be followed for disease progression and collection of second primary malignancy (SPM) events. This dose escalation will be followed by an exploratory expansion phase in 3 cohorts of 12 patients each.
The subject is invited to take part in this research study because s/he has been diagnosed with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), Primary Mediastinal B-cell Lymphoma (PMBCL), or Post-transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder (PTLD). In an attempt to improve cure rates while reducing harmful effects from drugs, oncologists are developing new treatment protocols. One such protocol, entitled dose-adjusted EPOCH-R, utilizes two major new strategies. First, the treatment approach utilizes continuous infusion of chemotherapy over four days, instead of being administered over minutes or hours. Secondly, the doses of some medications involved are increased or decreased based on how the drugs affect the subject's ability to produce blood cells, which is used as a measure of how rapidly the body is processing drugs. Using this approach in adults, researchers have shown improved cure rates in these cancers. Additionally, the harmful effects experienced by patients has been mild, with mucositis, severe infections, and tumor lysis syndrome occurring rarely. However, this new dosing method has never been used in children, and the effectiveness and side effects of this new method are unknown in children. The purpose of this study is to look at the safety of dose-adjusted EPOCH-R in the treatment of children with mature B-cell cancers, and to see if we can maintain cure rates (as has been shown in adults). This study represents the first trial of dose-adjusted EPOCH-R in children.
