Filter by:This is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter study of Iodine I-131 Anti B1 Antibody (Tositumomab and Iodine I 131 Tositumomab) for treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) who were previously treated with rituximab antibody. Patients must have been treated with at least 4 doses of rituximab and have progressed during or following rituximab therapy. Patients will undergo two dosing phases of study. In the first phase, termed the "dosimetric dose", patients will receive an infusion of unlabeled Anti-B1 Antibody (450 mg) over 70 minutes immediately followed by a 30-minute infusion of Anti-B1 Antibody (35 mg) which has been radiolabeled with 5 mCi of Iodine-131. Whole body gamma camera scans will be obtained on Day 0; Day 2, 3, or 4; and Day 6 or 7 following the dosimetric dose. Using the dosimetric data from three imaging timepoints, a patient-specific dose of Iodine-131 will be calculated to deliver the desired total body dose of radiotherapy. In the second phase, termed the "therapeutic dose", patients will receive a 70-minute infusion of unlabeled Anti-B1 Antibody (450 mg) immediately followed by a 30-minute infusion of 35 mg Anti-B1 Antibody labeled with a patient-specific dose of Iodine-131 to deliver a whole body dose of 75 cGy to patients with no hematologic risk factors. Patients who have platelet counts of 100,001-149,999 cells/mm3 will receive 65 cGy and patients who are obese will be dosed based upon 137% of their lean body mass. Patients will be treated with either saturated solution potassium iodide (SSKI), Lugol's solution, or potassium iodide tablets starting at least 24 hours prior to the first infusion of the Iodine-131 Anti-B1 Antibody (i.e., dosimetric dose) and continuing for 14 days following the last infusion of Iodine-131 Anti-B1 Antibody (i.e., therapeutic dose). The endpoints of the study are to determine the response rate, complete response rate, duration of response, and time to progression or death, based on both a Masked Independent Randomized Radiographic and Oncologic Review (MIRROR) panel and the Investigators, and the Investigators' assessment of safety and survival of survival of Iodine-131 Anti-B1 Antibody therapy in NHL patients who have previously been treated with rituximab.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects (good and bad) of the medication basiliximab in combination with cyclosporine (investigational therapy) for the prevention of a complication of bone marrow transplantation known as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). GVHD is a complication in which the cells of the transplanted bone marrow react against organs and tissues.
In previous studies, the investigators found that in patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) treated with ABVD (adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine and decarbazine) the absence of alopecia may predict for a poor response to treatment [complete remission (CR) rate 79% versus 31%, P < 0.0005, respectively]. Also, patients without alopecia had fewer episodes of either leucopenia, neutropenia, deferral of treatment courses or number of courses with dose reduction [88% vs. 62.5%, P=0.05, for the presence of at least one of them]. One of the explanations for this phenomenon is related to a lower systemic exposure of chemotherapeutic drugs in patients who retain their hair. There is a wide interpatient variability in the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters of doxorubicin systemic exposure and the degree of myelosuppression. In a pilot study on 18 patients the investigators could not find the previous association between alopecia, response to chemotherapy and bone marrow depression. However, when analyzing doxorubicin pharmacokinetics, patients who had no remission had 2 fold lower AUC (area under the curve) and 3 fold lower peaks (p=0.06). The investigators' lack to approve the previous findings might be explained by the small study group.
We postulate that the combination of IL-2 and GM-CSF immunotherapy will efficiently mobilize autologous peripheral blood stem cells and activated immune effector cells in patients with a hematologic malignancy. These activated effector cells will improve the immune function of the graft. These hypotheses will be tested using this proposed clinical trial to mobilize autologous peripheral blood stem cells pre-transplantation.
This is a single-arm, open-label study of Iodine 131 Anti B1 Antibody for the treatment of 1st or 2nd relapsed indolent B cell lymphomas or B cell lymphomas that have transformed to a more aggressive histology. The primary endpoint of the study is to determine the response rate. Secondary endpoints of the study is to determine the duration of response, time to progression, time-to-treatment failure, safety, and survival. Forty patients will receive therapy on this study at the 2 clinical sites. Patients will undergo 2 phases of the study. In the first phase, termed the "dosimetric dose", patients will receive an infusion of unlabeled Anti B1 Antibody (450 mg) over 70 minutes (including a 10 minute flush) immediately followed by a 30 minute infusion (including a 10 minute flush) of Anti B1 Antibody (35 mg) which has been trace-labeled with 5 mCi of Iodine 131. Whole body gamma camera scans will be obtained on 1) Day 0; 2) Day 2, 3, or 4; and 3) Day 6 or 7 following the dosimetric dose. Using the dosimetric data from the 3 imaging timepoints, a patient-specific dose of Iodine 131 Anti B1 Antibody to deliver the desired total body dose of radiotherapy will be calculated. In the second phase, termed the "radioimmunotherapeutic dose", patients will receive a 70 minute infusion (including a 10 minute flush) of unlabeled Anti B1 Antibody (450 mg) immediately followed by a 30 minute infusion (including a 10 minute flush) of 35 mg Anti B1 Antibody labeled with the patient-specific dose of Iodine 131 to deliver a whole body dose of 75 cGy to patients with no hematologic risk factors. Patients who have platelet counts of 100,001-149,999 cells/mm3 will receive 65 cGy and patients who are obese will be dosed based upon 137% of their lean body mass (see Appendix A). Patients will be treated with either saturated solution potassium iodide (SSKI), Lugol's solution, or potassium iodide tablets starting at least 24 hours prior to the first infusion of the Iodine 131 Anti B1 Antibody and continuing for 14 days following the last infusion of Iodine 131 Anti B1 Antibody (i.e., therapeutic dose).
The purpose of this study is to determine if MDX-1203 is safe for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma or non-hodgkin's lymphoma.
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.
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.
This is multi-center, international observational study of subjects receiving CHOP-14 or CHOP-21 (with or without Rituximab) for the treatment of NHL. Approximately 100-150 sites will contribute information on subjects treated at their institution.
This is an exploratory analysis that is investigating the pattern of care in patients over the age of 80 who were diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). This study will look at the dose intensity and density implemented in this patient population to calculate whether patients received the full course of therapy, received less duration of treatment, or received lower doses of the drugs administered. Furthermore, the investigators would explore time to disease progression for these patients regardless of the treatment received and investigate whether patient outcomes differ based on the type of therapy or dose intensity/density given. This study is looking at retrospectively evaluating patients with NHL who are over the age of 80 at our institution between 2001-2007. It is anticipated that about 50 patients will be included in this study.
