This phase II trial tests how well pembrolizumab and tazemetostat work to treat patients who have received autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) or chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy for aggressive non hodgkins lymphoma. A monoclonal antibody, such as pembrolizumab, is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Tazemetostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving pembrolizumab and tazemetostat may work better to treat patients who have received ASCT or CAR-T cell therapy for aggressive non hodgkins lymphoma.
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) represents the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and is currently a curable malignant disease for many patients with immuno-chemotherapy frontline treatment. However, around 30-40 % of patients, are unresponsive or will experience early relapse. The prognosis of primary refractory patient is poor and the management and treatment are a significant challenge due to the disease heterogeneity and the complex genetic framework. The reasons for refractoriness are various and include genetic abnormalities, alterations in tumor and tumor microenvironment. Patient related factors such as comorbidities can also influence treatment outcome. Recently the progress in Machine learning (ML) showed its usefulness in the procedures used to analyze large and complex datasets. In medicine, machine learning is used to create some predictive tools based on data-driven analytic approach and integration of various risk factors and parameters. Machine learning, as a subdomain of artificial intelligence (AI), has the capability to autonomously uncover patterns within datasets. It offers algorithms that can learn from examples to perform a task automatically.The investigators tested in a previous study five machine learning algorithms to establish a model for predicting the risk of primary refractory DLBCL using parameters obtained from a monocentric dataset. The investigators observed that NB Categorical classifier was the best alternative for building a model in order to predict primary refractory disease in DLBCL patients and the second was XGBoost.The investigators plan to extend this previous study by further exploring the two best-performing models (NBC Classifier and XGBoost), progressively incorporating a larger number of patients in a prospective way.
This phase II trial compares epcoritamab to standard practice (observation) for the treatment of patients with B-cell lymphomas who are not in complete remission after treatment with CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy. Epcoritamab is a bispecific antibody. It works by simultaneously attaching to a molecule called CD20 on cancerous B-cells and a molecule called CD3 on effector T-cells, which are a type of immune cell. When epcoritamab binds to CD20 and CD3, it brings the two cells together and activates the T-cells to kill the cancerous B-cells. Epcoritamab may increase a patient's chances of achieving complete remission after CD19-directed CAR-T therapy, compared to standard observation.
This qualitative study seeks to explore the unmet needs of individuals who have recently undergone a cancer diagnosis and completed the acute phase of treatment. The primary objective is to utilize the experiences of patients, caregivers, and stakeholders to enhance the aftercare provided to cancer survivors. By delving into patient perceptions regarding unmet needs in cancer aftercare, the study aims to identify areas for redesigning and improving services to minimize these needs and ultimately enhance patient outcomes. Importantly, the investigation incorporates insights from patients, their caregivers, and stakeholders. The research will employ qualitative methods, specifically focus groups and interviews, to gather comprehensive perspectives from individuals in the Ausl IRCCS Reggio Emilia district who have completed treatment for breast, prostate, colorectal, thyroid, and multiple myeloma cancers. Including patients with diverse cancer types is crucial for capturing a broad spectrum of experiences. During data collection, both focus group discussions and interviews will be recorded in audio format and transcribed verbatim. This meticulous approach ensures an accurate representation of participants' voices and experiences. The subsequent analysis will employ a combination of framework and thematic analysis to extract meaningful insights and synthesize the data effectively. The study's ultimate goal is to leverage the findings to optimize aftercare services for cancer survivors within the local context of Ausl IRCCS Reggio Emilia. By incorporating the perspectives of patients, caregivers, and stakeholders, the research aims to contribute valuable insights that can inform the redesign and improvement of aftercare services, ultimately benefitting cancer survivors in the region.
Study on the use of a polychemotherapy scheme based on liposomal doxorubicin, vinblastine and dacarbazine (MVD) as first line in the therapy of elderly patients affected by classic Hodgkin lymphoma
The study is researching an experimental drug called odronextamab, referred to as study drug. The study is focused on patients with previously treated aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma whose cancer has stopped responding to treatment (also known as 'refractory') or has returned (also known as 'relapsed'). The aim of the study is to see how effective the study drug is compared to standard of care (SOC) therapy. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: - What side effects may happen from taking the study drug versus SOC - How much study drug is in your blood at different times - Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects) - Comparing the impact from the study drug versus SOC on your quality-of-life and ability to complete routine daily activities
Describe the efficacy and safety of Orelabrutinib in the treatment of HP-positive gastric MALT lymphoma
This study is an open-label, single-arm Phase Ib/II clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination therapy with mitoxantrone liposome and azacitidine in the treatment of relapsed/refractory angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma(R/R AITL). The study includes two parts: a dose escalation phase and a dose expansion phase, each comprising screening, treatment, and follow-up periods. In the dose escalation phase, the mitoxantrone liposome injection will start at a dose of 16 mg/m^2 on day1, combined with subcutaneous injection of azacitidine at a dose of 75 mg/m^2 on days 1-7, with each cycle lasting 4 weeks (28 days). Three predetermined dose groups for mitoxantrone liposome are 16, 18, and 20 mg/m^2. In the dose expansion phase, 10-20 cases will be included with the mitoxantrone liposome injection at the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) based on the results of the dose escalation phase. After the treatment period, safety and survival information will be collected during the follow-up period. This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the safety and efficacy of mitoxantrone liposome in combination with azacitidine for the treatment of R/R AITL, exploring a combination therapy that offers higher survival benefits with limited adverse reactions and providing new therapeutic approaches for R/R AITL.
CXCR4 is type of receptor that has been detected in more than twenty different subtypes of cancers. Most of these cancers are associated with negative symptoms that worsen over time resulting in great disability and poor function. There is a need for novel tracers to image CXCR4-expressing tumors for better detection, staging, and monitoring of aggressive cancers without the need for invasive biopsy procedures that may not always properly capture the extent of a patient's disease. This study looks to assess the safety and efficacy of a novel radiopharmaceutical known as 18F-BL40 through its use in a PET/CT scan. Participants will receive 2 PET/CT scans: 18F-BL40 and 18F-FDG as part of this study.
