Filter by:RATIONALE: Vaccines, such as dendritic cell therapy (DC) made from a person's tumor cells and white blood cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Cryosurgery kills cancer cells by freezing them. Giving vaccine therapy together with cryosurgery may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial studies giving vaccine therapy together with or without cryosurgery in treating patients with B-cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
The purpose of this research study is to learn about the safety of the treatment with a combination of bendamustine and rituximab and to find out what effects, both good and bad this treatment has on DLBCL. In addition to learning about the combination of bendamustine and rituximab, the researchers are interested in learning about how this cancer treatment affects daily activities. Subjects 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. GAs are also designed to help the health care team understand how well subjects can carry out their day to day activities and to briefly describe what other medical conditions subjects may have. This assessment will help the health care team understand a subject's "functional age" (the age a subject functions at) as compared to a subject's actual age. The researchers also want to learn how chemotherapy affects the aging process in our bodies. This is done by measuring the amount of p16 in blood. Researchers want to understand if chemotherapy changes the levels of p16 in blood.
RATIONALE: Growth factors, such as palifermin, may prevent chronic graft-versus-host disease caused by donor stem cell transplant. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial studies palifermin in preventing chronic graft-versus-host disease in patients who have undergone donor stem cell transplant for hematologic cancer
This phase I trial is studying the side effects, best way to give, and best dose of Akt inhibitor MK2206 (MK2206) in treating patients with recurrent or refractory solid tumors or leukemia. MK2206 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This randomized phase III trial studies how well graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing unrelated donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant (PBSCT) helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving total-body irradiation (TBI) together with fludarabine phosphate (FLU), cyclosporine (CSP), mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), or sirolimus before transplant may stop this from happening.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. Dexrazoxane may lessen the side effects of chemotherapy. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare combination chemotherapy with or without dexrazoxane and with or without high-dose methotrexate in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or advanced lymphoblastic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Study RIT-II-001 is a phase II, multicenter study of the safety, tumor and organ dosimetry, dosimetry methods, and efficacy of Iodine-131 Anti-B1 Antibody for the treatment of patients with low-grade or transformed low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that each site could accurately conduct the whole body dosimetry required for the safe and effective dosing of Iodine-131 Anti-B1 Antibody. Additional objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy, dosimetry, and safety of Iodine-131 Anti-B1 Antibody.
This is a Phase I, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study of DCDT2980S administered by intravenous (IV) infusion to patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies. In addition, at selected sites, DCDT2980S will be studied in combination with rituximab.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the drug mesna is able to block a series of chemical changes that occur in the blood of patients who receive the chemotherapy medicine doxorubicin. The researchers believe these blood chemical changes may the cause of "cloudy thinking" or "chemobrain" that are reported by some patients receiving chemotherapy.
This is a phase II study of allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation (HPCT) followed reduced toxicity conditioning with once daily intravenous Busulfex and fludarabine in patients with relapsed/chemotherapy refractory Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.
