Filter by:Follicular lymphomas are a subgroup of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas, accounting for 15% to 30% of newly diagnosed lymphomas.1-3 Median survival varies from 5 to 10 years depending on the prognostic factors at diagnosis and response to first-line therapy.4-6 Whatever the treatment, no plateau appears on survival curves, and virtually all patients relapse; follicular lymphomas are ultimately progressive, and fatal.2,3,5 No reference first-line treatment is clearly defined. One of the most active therapies is still doxorubicin-based chemotherapy with or without interferon.7-9 New therapeutic approaches including purine analogs and anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody are promising and are progressively included in the management of these lymphomas.2,3,10-13 The role of high-dose therapy (HDT) as a salvage treatment for patients with relapsing follicular lymphoma is demonstrated by some authors; several reports have shown the superiority of HDT followed by autologous stem-cell transplantation, purged or unpurged, compared with conventional chemotherapy in terms of no relapse and overall survival.14-18 Only a few reports have been published showing HDT results as a first-line treatment for poor-risk patients with follicular lymphoma, and the results remain controversial.19-26 These data prompted the French Groupe Ouest-Est des Leucémies et Autres Maladies du Sang (GOELAMS) to conduct a prospective randomized trial using patients with newly diagnosed follicular lymphoma with a high tumor burden. A combined doxorubicin-based chemotherapy associated with interferon was compared to front-line HDT followed by purged autologous stem-cell transplantation.
This phase II trial studies how well lenalidomide works in combination with rituximab in treating participants with stage III-IV non-Hodgkin lymphoma that is growing slowly. Lenalidomide is designed to change the body's immune system. It may also interfere with the development of tiny blood vessels that help support tumor growth, which may prevent the growth of cancer cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving lenalidomide and rituximab may work better in participants with indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
This is a phase 2, single-arm, open label, multicenter study evaluating the efficacy and safety of the combination of VELCADE, bendamustine, and rituximab in subjects with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma, who have received 4 or more doses of rituximab. Subjects may be sensitive or refractory to prior therapies, including rituximab.
This is an open-label (doctors and patients know which drug will be given), single center, phase 1/2 clinical trial. The primary objective is to determine whether VR-CHOP provides benefit to patients with previously untreated indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL).
This phase I trial is studying the side effects of giving genetically engineered lymphocytes together with cyclophosphamide and aldesleukin in treating patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma or indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Placing a gene that has been created in the laboratory into white blood cells may make the body build an immune response to kill cancer cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Aldesleukin may stimulate the white blood cells to kill lymphoma cells. Giving genetically engineered lymphocytes together with cyclophosphamide and aldesleukin may be an effective treatment for mantle cell lymphoma and B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma
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.
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
This study will assess the toxicity/safety of CHOP chemotherapy given concurrently with rituximab, followed by maintenance PEG Intron in patients with anthracycline naïve indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This study will also evaluate response rates, time to progression, molecular response, and immunologic parameters related to this treatment.will have an ocular exam prior to treatment. Patients in this study will receive 6 cycles of combination chemotherapy with the standard CHOP regimen given in conjunction with rituximab. Cycles are repeated at 21-day intervals for six to eight cycles. Patients achieving at least a partial response to chemotherapy will begin PEG Intron at a dose of 2g/kg/week subcutaneously. PEG Intron treatment will be continued for 12 months in the absence of signs of progressive/recurrent disease, or unacceptable toxicity/intolerance of therapy. PEG Intron dosing will be adjusted based on the presence of symptoms or other clinical manifestations of toxicity. Patients will undergo bone marrow evaluation for molecular testing at baseline. Those found to be positive will have repeat assessments performed post induction therapy, and after six months of PEG Intron. Patients will also undergo immunologic evaluation at baseline, post induction therapy, and after six months of PEG Intron. At the end of PEG Intron therapy, patients will have disease reevaluation and then annual data collection for long-term toxicity, duration of response and survival.
The purpose of this study is to show if addition of Rituximab to intensive induction (MegaCHOP/ESHAP) and high-dose consolidation (BEAM) improves progression-free and overall survival in patients younger than 65 years with aggressive B-cell lymphoma and aaIPI 2 or 3.
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as epratuzumab and 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. Giving epratuzumab and rituximab together may be more effective in treating follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving epratuzumab together with rituximab works in treating patients with previously untreated follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
