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.
Obatoclax may stop the growth of non-Hodgkin lymphoma by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Bortezomib and obatoclax may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving obatoclax together with bortezomib may kill more cancer cells. This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of obatoclax when given together with bortezomib and to see how well they work in treating patients with aggressive relapsed or recurrent non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
This pilot trial studies different high-dose chemotherapy regimens with or without total-body irradiation (TBI) to compare how well they work when given before autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) in treating patients with hematologic cancer or solid tumors. Giving high-dose chemotherapy with or without TBI before ASCT stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. After treatment, stem cells are collected from the patient's blood or bone marrow and stored. More chemotherapy may be given to prepare for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy.
Poor prognosis follicular lymphoma patients have an estimated median overall survival of 5-6 years. The proposed trial offers life-time idiotypic vaccination to all such patients in first relapse/progression who will achieve second (first, in the case of patients who have never achieved complete response following standard first-line treatment) complete response through autologous stem cell transplant prior to vaccination start. The ultimate goal is a cure, defined as a vaccine-maintained complete response lasting both at least 10 years and at least twice as long as each patient's first complete response.
RATIONALE: Giving high-dose chemotherapy before an autologous stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or by killing them. An autologous stem cell transplant may be able to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy. GM-CSF may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood. Giving a monoclonal antibody, such as rituximab, after the transplant may find any remaining cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Giving GM-CSF together with rituximab after autologous stem cell transplant may be an effective treatment for follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving GM-CSF together with rituximab after autologous stem cell transplant works in treating patients with relapsed or primary refractory follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
The primary objective of this study is to examine transplant related mortality (TRM) at 100 days <30%. A TRM of >50% is considered unacceptable. This study also seeks a TRM at 12 months that is <50%, engraftment >90% (defined as donor cells >80% at 6 months), and 1 year overall survival >50%.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of combining bortezomib (Velcade) with rituximab, fludarabine, mitoxantrone, and dexamethasone in treating patients with follicular cell lymphoma.
The treatment being investigated is a patient- and tumor-specific therapy known as a personalized active immunotherapy. Personalized active immunotherapy is an attempt to use a person's own immune system to combat disease. Sargramostim (a.k.a. GM-CSF) is given together with the personalized active immunotherapy because it may increase the immune system's response and, therefore, aid in the effect of the personalized active immunotherapy. This approach has previously been studied in patients with follicular Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and other B-cell malignancies. Encouraging efficacy results and a favorable safety profile have been seen to date in these studies.
Combination of involved field radiotherapy for the control of macroscopic disease and CD20 antibody Rituximab for the control of microscopic remainders in other regions in patients with early stage nodal follicular lymphoma /grade I or II). Evaluation of DFSl and toxicity.
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vorinostat in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable solid tumors or lymphoma and liver dysfunction. (closed for accrual as of 04/05/2010) Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Vorinostat may have different effects in patients who have changes in their liver function.
