Filter by: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.
The purpose of this trial was to evaluate efficacy and safety of adding Rituximab to dose-dense and High-Dose Chemotherapy (HDC) with Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (ASCT) as first line treatment in young patients with DLBCL at Intermediate-High and High risk aaIPI score
The purpose of this study is to measure the rate of complete response (CR and UCR) at the end of a course of immuno-chemotherapy: - before cerebral radiotherapy for PCL - after the course of immuno-chemotherapy for aggressive lymphomas with neuromeningeal involvement Toxicity of the protocol Overall survival Survival without relapse Long-term incidence of neurocognitive toxicity
RATIONALE: Studying PET scans given to patients with cancer who are undergoing treatment may help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying PET scans in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who are receiving rituximab together with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone.
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.
Autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation combined with high dose chemotherapy is the treatment of choice given to patients with diffuse large-B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) following relapse of the disease. Although many people are cured of their lymphoma with this therapy, the disease comes back in a certain proportion of patients. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of the monoclonal antibody, CT-011, in patients with DLBCL who have received autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. All final eligible patients will receive an IV infusion of CT-011 on Day 1 (30 to 90 days post autologous PBSCT). Treatment will be repeated every 42 days for a total of three courses with treatment visits on Days 1, 43, and 85. Follow-up for safety and clinical outcome will be conducted throughout the study till 18 months post autologous PBSCT. Approximately 70 patients will participate in this study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate: 1. whether an imaging test called a PET (Positron emission tomography) scan performed after two cycles of standard chemotherapy is able to identify patients who have a high cure rate after completing standard chemotherapy alone; and 2. whether high dose chemotherapy (HDCT) and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) when used in combination with an antibody called Rituximab results in high cure rates for those patients predicted to do poorly with standard chemotherapy by the PET scan.
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.
This Phase II study randomized R-ACVBP and R-CHOP as induction treatment in patients from 18 to 59 with DLBCL CD20+ lymphoma and 2 or 3 adverse prognostic factors of the age-adjusted IPI. The consolidation treatment is allocated according to the response to induction treatment assessed by PET after the 2nd and 4th induction cycles.
The purpose of this study is to obtain safety and efficacy data using tositumomab or Bexxar in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (DLCL).
