Filter by:This is a study to test how safe the combination of the drugs Romidepsin and Pralatrexate are in patients with lymphoid malignancies and to determine the dose of the combination of drugs that is safest. If the combination is determined to be safe, the study will continue accrual patients with peripheral T-Cell lymphoma (PTCL).
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a study drug called CPX-351. This drug has been tested in adults but not yet in children and adolescents. This study tests different doses of the drug to see which dose is safer in children and adolescents. Patients who have blood cancer are being asked to take part in this study . Blood cancers may include leukemia and lymphoma. Patients able to be in this study have already been treated with standard chemotherapy for their disease and the disease is still growing or has come back. CPX-351 is a drug that is not yet approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is only used in research studies like this one. CPX-351 is made up of two chemotherapy drugs that patients may have already received called cytarabine and daunorubicin that are now packaged together. Another purpose of this study is to collect blood samples for special research studies. Researchers want to study how much of the CPX-351 is in the body over time. These studies are call pharmacokinetic studies or PK studies for short. PK studies require the collection of several blood samples before and after participants are given the study drug.
The incidence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is steadily increasing worldwide. At present, it is the sixth most commonly diagnosed cancer in France, with 10 000 estimated new cases and 5200 deaths annually. An increasing NHL incidence at a rate of 3-4% per year was observed for the 1970s and 1980s. This stabilized in the 1990s, nevertheless still with an annual rise of 1-2%, resulting in almost a doubling of the NHL incidence during last 40 years. This rise has been noted worldwide, particularly in elderly persons >55 years. Increases in high-grade NHL and extranodal disease are predominant. There is about 80% of B-cell histology, approximately 90% of follicular lymphomas and about 70% of aggressive lymphoma patients present with disseminated disease at diagnosis. The prognosis of NHL depends on the histological type, stage and treatment. Indolent lymphomas have a relatively good prognosis with survival time as long as 10 years, but they are usually incurable in advanced stages. Aggressive NHL constitutes about 50% of all cases of NHL in Western Europe. Approximately 50 - 60% of these patients can be cured with immuno-chemotherapy regiments. Subsequently, almost 50% of patients will eventually relapse or become refractory to treatment. The prognosis for patients with refractory or relapsed aggressive NHL is generally poor. The response rates to salvage therapy regimens range from 20 to 40%. Patients who present with refractory disease have the worst prognosis, with a median survival of less than six months. Only a minority of patients can be given high dose chemotherapy, the majority being ineligible due to disease progression. By modulating the immune system through dendritic cells and NK cells, by changing the cytokine milieu, and by their anti-angiogenic effects, IMiDs in combination with mabthera (rituximab) resulted in augmented in vitro and vivo antitumor effects against B-cell lymphoma. As concerns the timing of administration and doses of medications, phase I/II studies are ongoing with R-CHOP in combination with Revlimid (Lenalidomide) in DLBCL. The latest presentation is by Nowakowski et al. at ASCO meeting in June 2010. This study determined the maximum tolerated dose of Revlimid(Lenalidomide)administered on days 1-10 with standard R-CHOP (R2-CHOP). NO DLT was found and 25 mg of Revlimid(Lenalidomide)was the recommended dose for phase II with enrollment of 32 patients. These encouraging results permit to introduce in our much less toxic protocol 25 mg of Revlimid(Lenalidomide)as initial dose, with progressive reduction in case of toxicity. As regards the dose and timing of Mabthera(Rituximab), in DLBCL it was traditionally used as a single 375 mg/m2 injection/cycle. Pre-clinical data suggests that for the optimal NK enhancement Revlimid(Lenalidomide)must be administrated several days (approx. 7 days) before Mabthera(Rituximab)injection. So, our protocol provides Mabthera(Rituximab)IV administration at day 7 of Revlimid(Lenalidomide). Performed parallel biological investigation of NK status will permit to confirm this hypothesis with possible correction of timing and number of administrations of Mabthera(Rituximab)par cycle.
This double-blind randomized, parallel group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenalidomide (Revlimid, CC-5013) in combination with rituximab (MabThera/Rituxan) in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma or marginal zone lymphoma. Patients will be randomized to receive either lenalidomide or placebo for twelve 28-day cycles in combination with rituximab. Anticipated time on study treatment is 1 year.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and pharmacokinetic of GP2013 in Japanese patients with CD20 positive low tumor burden indolent B-cell NHL under weekly dosing schedule.
This is a prospective, multicenter phase II trial designed to determine efficacy and safety of a chemoimmunotherapy with the combination of Bendamustine + Rituximab in patients with advanced untreated Indolent non Follicular non-Hodgkin Lymphomas (INFL).
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and the best dose of radiolabeled monoclonal antibody when given together with combination chemotherapy before stem cell transplant and to see how well it works in treating patients with high-risk lymphoid malignancies. Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as yttrium Y 90 anti-CD45 monoclonal antibody BC8, can find cancer cells and carry cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Giving chemotherapy before a stem transplant stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. Stem cells collected from the patient's blood are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the radiolabeled monoclonal antibody and chemotherapy.
This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects of lenalidomide and ipilimumab after stem cell transplant in treating patients with hematologic or lymphoid malignancies. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving lenalidomide with ipilimumab may be a better treatment for hematologic or lymphoid malignancies.
Certain cancers require the amino acid arginine. Arginine deiminase (ADI) is an enzyme from microbes that degrade arginine. ADI has been formulated with polyethylene glycol and has been used to treat patients that have cancers that have arginine. In this study, the primary efficacy variable will be assessment of tumor response rate.
Allogeneic transplantation is used to treat many malignant and non-malignant diseases. The investigators and others have shown that less toxic preparative regimens (reduced intensity or 'mini' transplants) allow reliable allogeneic engraftment and durable remissions, significantly broadening the population of patients who may be offered this therapy to those who are older and more infirmed. The field is now focusing on the period post transplant for approaches to immune recovery leading to improved outcomes. The primary objective of this registry is to catalogue data from patients who undergo standard of care reduced intensity allogeneic transplantation.
