Filter by:To safely reduce the burden of therapy in children, adolescents and young adults with mature B-NHL by reducing the number of intrathecal (IT) injections by the introduction of IT Liposomal Cytarabine (L-ARA-C, [Depocyt®]) and reducing the dose of anthracycline (doxorubicin) in good risk patients with the addition of rituximab to the FAB chemotherapy backbone (Immunochemotherapy).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if ibrutinib administered in combination with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) improves the clinical outcome in newly diagnosed patients with non-germinal center B-cell subtype (GCB) of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) selected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) or newly diagnosed patients with activated B cell-like (ABC) subtype of DLBCL identified by gene expression profiling (GEP) or both populations.
Study of the safety and efficacy of AEB071 and EVEROLIMUS in patients with CD79-mutant or ABC subtype Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. The trial did not progress into Phase II due to the suboptimal tolerability of the combination treatment of sotrastaurin and everolimus in the Phase Ib part of the study. There were no serious safety concerns associated with this combination.
This was a Phase 1/2 study performed at two clinical centers in the US and UK. It was a single arm, open label study evaluating VSLI plus rituximab in adults with aggressive relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, accounting for between 30% and 50% of the patients. Although it is considered a curable disease, still at least 40 % of the patients will fail first line chemotherapy. The International Prognostic Index (IPI) score and the age adjusted IPI (aIPI) has been used since they were published to identify patients with different outcome. There is not standard therapy for young patients with DLBCL and unfavourable IPI score. The survival of these patients remains poor, with EFS around 40%. The combination of RCHOP with new drugs is an attractive approach to treat these patients. The goal is to evaluate the proportion of patients with Event-Free Survival (EFS) after 2 years, with a diagnosis of DLBCL with an aIPI > 1 or an aIPI =1 with increased levels of beta-2-microglobulin (above the Upper Limits of Normal.)
This research is being done because it is not yet known what dose of romidepsin in combination with gemcitabine, dexamethasone, and cisplatin (GDP) can be given safely to patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma, nor what type and severity of side effects will result from the combination of these treatments. This research is also being done because it is not clear if the addition of the new drug romidepsin to treatment with GDP can offer better results and longer survival.
The combination of mitoxantrone and clofarabine as reinduction therapy will be safe, well tolerated and effective in children, adolescents and young adults with poor risk refractory/relapsed acute leukemia and high grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
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.
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 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.
