Filter by:Mindsets are lenses or frames of mind that orient individuals to a particular set of expectations and associations. This study aims to leverage specific and empirically supported mindsets (i.e., 'cancer is manageable' and 'the body is capable') to reduce distress and improve physical health and psychological wellbeing in patients with cancer being treated with curative intent. This intervention will take the form of several brief documentary style film segments which feature both cancer survivors and experts in the fields of Oncology, Psychology, and Psychiatry. Although no mindset-targeted interventions have been studied in cancer patients to date, other psychosocial interventions have demonstrated efficacy in treating emotional distress and improving quality of life in this population. However, compared with these standard interventions, mindset interventions need not be lengthy, complex, or costly to yield major effects. Thus, this project aims to lay the groundwork for future scalable and efficient interventions that can meaningfully reduce distress and improve health and wellbeing in this population.
This research study will only include two types of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL), follicular lymphoma or marginal zone lymphoma and participants will be age 70 or older. The purpose of this research study is to learn about the safety of the treatment with the drug ofatumumab to find out what effects, both good and bad this treatment has on lymphoma. Ofatumumab is a monoclonal antibody. Monoclonal antibodies are being used to treat some types of cancer. Monoclonal antibodies are a type of protein made in a laboratory that can bind substances in the body including cancer cells. Ofatumumab binds to the protein called CD20, which is found on B-cells and lymphoma cells. The study drug, Ofatumumab, is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of other types of blood cancer and is not approved for use in patients with non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. The use of ofatumumab in this study is considered investigational. In addition to learning about ofatumumab, the researchers are interested in learning about how this cancer treatment affects daily activities. Participants will be asked to complete a Geriatric Assessment (GA). GAs are designed to gather information on memory, nutritional status, mental health, and level of social support. This assessment will help the health care team understand a participant's "functional age" as compared to a participant's actual age. The researchers also want to collect blood samples to study molecules in follicular lymphoma cells called 'biomarkers' to learn about how the lymphoma responds to therapy. A biomarker is a molecule (for example, DNA or protein) found in the blood or tissues that is a marker for disease. In this study, the investigators will measure the changes of the biomarker called bcl-2. This biomarker research will only be in subjects with follicular lymphoma.
Relapse remains a principle cause of treatment failure for patients with aggressive lymphoma after autologous transplantation. Non-myeloablative allogeneic transplantation allows patients to receive an infusion of donor cells in an attempt to induce a graft versus lymphoma effect. This study will assess the feasibility, safety and efficacy of the combination of autologous stem cell transplantation followed by non-myeloablative transplantation for patients with poor-risk aggressive lymphoma.
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.
To compare localiezd radiotherapy to localized radiotherapy followed by 6 cycles of chemotherapy in the treatment of localiezd low grade lymphoma
The aim of this phase III trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of treatment with rituximab in combination with FCM chemotherapy (R-FCM) versus FCM chemotherapy alone for remission induction and to asses the safety and efficacy of rituximab maintenance versus observation only after response to induction therapy. Both questions are addressed in way of a prospective randomized comparison in patients with relapsed FL, MCL and LP lymphoma.
The purpose of this study is to assess the antitumor effect and safety of fludarabine phosphate tablet in combination with rituximab in patient with indolent lymphoma.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the antitumor effect and safety of the product for relapsed or refractory indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of a treatment regimen using Zevalin® plus Rituxan® for patients who have low grade Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) or relapsed Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and have been previously treated. This study will use an experimental scheduling regimen. No chemotherapy will be used in this study.
This research project will focus on whether it is safe and effective to rely on donor cells to prevent relapse of leukemia, lymphoma, or other blood cancer after bone marrow stem cell transplant.
