Filter by:This multicenter study will determine the response rate, the complete response rate, duration of response, time to progression, time-to-treatment failure, safety, and survival following treatment with Iodine-131 Anti-B1 Antibody for the retreatment of patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who previously responded with a duration of response of at least 3 months to Iodine-131 Anti-B1 Antibody therapy. Patients will undergo two phases of study. In the first phase, patients will receive a dosimetric dose of unlabeled Anti-B1 Antibody (450 mg) followed by Anti-B1 Antibody (35 mg) which has been radiolabeled with 5 mCi of Iodine-131. Whole body gamma camera scans will be obtained after the dosimetric dose and data from three imaging time points will be used to calculate a patient-specific dose to deliver the desired total body dose of radiotherapy. In the second phase, patients will receive the therapeutic dose of unlabeled Anti-B1 Antibody (450 mg) followed by 35 mg of Anti-B1 Antibody labeled with the patient-specific dose to deliver the desired whole body dose of radiation. Patients will be treated with thyroid blocking medication at least 24 hours prior to the first infusion and continuing for 14 days following the last infusion.
This is a single-arm, single institution, phase II study of fludarabine monophosphate followed by Iodine I 131 Tositumomab for patients with previously untreated, advanced-stage (stage III or IV) low-grade, transformed low-grade and follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The primary objective of the study will be to evaluate the safety of this treatment combination and the secondary endpoint will be to evaluate efficacy.
This trial is comparing whether using a drug called sirolimus for graft versus host disease (GVHD) prevention can decrease the chance of the participant's lymphoma relapsing after transplantation, compared to using a standard GVHD prevention regimen without sirolimus. Since mTOR inhibitors have anti-lymphoma activity, their use after transplantation may lead to a decreased risk of relapse and hence better transplantation outcome.
Hepatitis B (HBV) reactivation and hepatitis flare induced by cytotoxic chemotherapy is common in cancer patients who have chronic HBV infection. Lymphoma patients who had previous infected by HBV but negative for HBsAg have a the risk of HBV reactivation during chemotherapy, but prophylactic antiviral treatment is not a routine by current American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) guideline. Prophylactic entecavir might reduce the risk of HBV reactivation in such patients.
Background: - Most patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and many patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) have a protein called Wilm's Tumor 1 (WT1) in their cancer cells. This protein is thought to be able to influence the growth of these cancers. - A vaccine made with the WT1 protein may boost the immune system to help fight these cancers in patients whose cancer cells contain the protein. Objectives: - To determine the safety, effectiveness and side effects of giving the WT1 vaccine and donor white blood cells to patients with AML, ALL, CML or NHL who have previously received standard treatment and undergone stem cell transplantation. - To determine the immune response to the WT1 vaccine and donor white blood cells in these patients and to determine if the response is related to the amount of WT1 protein in the patient's cancer cells. Eligibility: - Patients between 1 and 75 years of age with the blood antigen human leukocyte antigen (HLA-A2) and the WT1 cancer protein who have persistent or recurrent blood cancers after stem cell transplantation. - The prior stem cell transplant donor must be willing to provide additional cells, which will be used to prepare the cellular vaccines and for donor lymphocyte (white blood cell) infusions. Design: - Patients are given the WT1 vaccine every 2 weeks for 6 weeks (weeks 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10). Each vaccination consists of two injections in the upper arm or thigh. - On weeks 0, 4 and 8, patients also receive white blood cells from a donor to enhance the immune response. The cells are also given as a 15- to 30-minute infusion through a vein about 1 hour after the vaccine injection. Donor infusions are given only to patients with mild or no graft-vs-host disease resulting from their prior stem cell transplantation. - Periodic physical examinations, blood and urine tests, scans to evaluate disease and other tests as needed are done for 12 months after enrollment in the study.
Background: - Dimethane sulfonate (DMS612) is an investigational drug that is being administered to humans for the first time in people with advanced tumors. More information on the maximum tolerated dose of DMS612 will help researchers identify whether the drug is suitable for use in treating certain kinds of cancer, particularly renal cell carcinoma. Objectives: - To determine the maximum tolerated dose of DMS612 (the highest dose that does not cause unacceptable side effects) and evaluate any side effects. - To see if DMS612 has any effect on patients tumors through blood tests and laboratory studies. - To learn how the body processes DMS612. Eligibility: - Patients 18 years of age and older who have been diagnosed with cancer that has not responded well to standard treatments. Design: - Pre-treatment evaluation visit to determine eligibility: - Physical examination - Blood and urine tests - Chest X-ray; electrocardiogram; CAT scan of chest, abdomen, pelvis, and other areas of the body if needed - Other possible tests, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or positron emission tomography (PET) - Patients will receive one dose of DMS612 by intravenous infusion once a week for 3 weeks, followed by 1 week without the drug. Doses will be adjusted based on possible side effects and cancer response. The disease will be evaluated after three cycles of the drug. - Evaluations during the treatment period: - Physical examination and reviews of side effects. - Blood draws to evaluate the effectiveness of the drug, and how it is processed by the body. - CAT scan at the end of every two cycles (every 8 weeks). - Other scans and imaging procedures as required by the study doctors.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of panobinostat and everolimus when given together and to see how well they work in treating patients with multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back. Panobinostat and everolimus may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Blood stem cell transplants are one treatment option for people with lymphoma or other types of blood cancers. For this type of treatment, family members or unrelated donors with a similar tissue type usually donate their blood stem cells to the transplant patients. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a type of blood stem cell transplant that uses lower doses of chemotherapy in people with relapsed follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, vincristine sulfate, prednisone, and liposome-encapsulated doxorubicin citrate, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether rituximab and combination chemotherapy are more effective when given together with or without liposome-encapsulated doxorubicin citrate in treating older patients with diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving rituximab together with cyclophosphamide, vincristine sulfate, and prednisone with or without liposome-encapsulated doxorubicin citrate and to see how well it works in treating older patients with stage II, stage III, or stage IV diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
This study is to inquire by mailed survey regarding the cardiac and general health of patients previously treated for Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with radiation therapy/anthracycline chemotherapy.
