Filter by:This is a multi-center, phase 1b study of AMG 655 in combination with bortezomib or vorinostat in subjects with relapsed or refractory low grade lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, diffuse large cell lymphoma, and Hodgkin's disease. Part 1 is an open-label, dose-escalation phase (3+3 design) to determine the safety, tolerability and maximum tolerated dose of AMG 655 in combination with bortezomib or vorinostat. Subjects will be enrolled into one of two arms based on investigator selection (either the bortezomib + AMG 655 arm or vorinostat + AMG 655 arm). Part 2 of the study is a dose expansion phase that will commence after dose selection of AMG 655 in combination with bortezomib in Part 1. In Part 2, subjects (n = 20) with mantle cell lymphoma will be given AMG 655 in combination with bortezomib. The dose of AMG 655 used in combination with bortezomib will be based on safety and pharmacokinetic information obtained from Part 1 as well as from ongoing AMG 655 trials.
DSHNHL R3 is a randomized clinical phase II study. The main objective is to estimate the efficacy of rituximab as a prophylactic medication for prevention of graft-versus-host-disease after allogeneic peripheral stem cell transplantation in patients with a high risk relapse of aggressive B-cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The most important secondary objective is to estimate the efficacy of allogeneic stem cell transplantation in this clinical situation.
This will be a multi-center, Phase I, dose-escalation study of bortezomib in combination with 131I-tositumomab in patients with relapsed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Bortezomib will be administered to patients twice weekly, with the first dose being given two days prior to the treatment dose of 131I-tositumomab, and the second dose two days after RIT for a total of 5 doses. Patients will be enrolled and undergo standard staging studies, including history, physical examination, complete blood count, serum chemistries and LDH, TSH, HAMA, iliac crest bone marrow biopsy, and CT scans of the chest, abdomen and pelvis. All patients will provide written informed consent. Bortezomib will be evaluated at 4 dose levels (0.30 mg/m2, 0.60 mg/m2, 0.90 mg/m2, and 1.2 mg/m2) and 131I-tositumomab at 2 dose levels (50 cGy and 75 cGy TBD). Bortezomib will be administrated the day prior to 131I-tositumomab and twice weekly thereafter for 4 doses in order to provide proteasome inhibition throughout the period of 131I-tositumomab activity. The intention is to use 131I-tositumomab at full dose if possible. Therefore, the 50cGy dose will be used only with the lowest dose of bortezomib in case of unexpected toxicities with the combination. Dose levels will be as follow: 1. 0.30mg/m2 bortezomib and 50cGy 131I-tositumomab, 2. 0.30 mg/m2 bortezomib and 75 cGy 131I-tositumomab, 3. 0.60 mg/m2 bortezomib and 75 cGy 131I-tositumomab, 4. 0.90 mg/m2 bortezomib and 75 cGy 131I-tositumomab, and 5. 1.2 mg/m2 bortezomib and 75 cGy 131I-tositumomab.
This is a long-term observational study of patients that were treated with at least 1 dose of study treatment (plerixafor or placebo) in the AMD3100-3101 protocol (NCT00103610).
This was a prospective, open-label, Phase III, multicenter, single-arm trial designed to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of an alternative dosing rate of rituximab in previously untreated patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
About 60% of patients with DLBCL can be cured with a chemotherapy program. It is called RCHOP-21 (Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, and Prednisone). It is given once every 3 weeks, for 18 weeks. Each three weeks is a cycle. Some factors predict that you may not be cured with R-CHOP-21. The most common ones are: - Stage - how much DLBCL, PMBL, or FL3B you have - LDH - a blood chemistry marker; and - Whether you can do your normal daily activities. (performance status) We think that the best way to cure more patients with poor risk factors is to add new treatment to R-CHOP. You will get different chemotherapy after 4 cycles. This type of treatment is called risk-adapted therapy.
One of two different doses of thymoglobulin will allow bone marrow engraftment with minimal Graft-versus-Host Disease and allow adequate immune response to allow the transplanted stem cells to replace the tumor cells.
The prognosis of pediatric patients with hematologic malignancies whose disease is primarily refractory or those who experience a chemotherapy resistant bone marrow relapse is extremely poor. When new agents or chemotherapeutic regimens are unable to induce remission in this patient population, hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is also a poor alternative. Thus, in this very high risk group, additional attempts at remission induction with various combinations of chemotherapy alone will unlikely improve outcome and will contribute to overall toxicity. Alternative therapies are needed in these patients with chemotherapy resistant disease. Immunotherapy with natural killer (NK) cell infusion has the potential to decrease toxicity and induce hematologic remission. NK cells can kill target cells, including leukemia cells, without prior exposure to those cells. In patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT, several studies have demonstrated the powerful effect of NK cells against leukemia. Furthermore, NK cell infusions in patients with primary refractory or multiple-relapsed leukemia have been shown to be well tolerated and void of graft-versus-host disease effects. In this high risk group, complete leukemic remission has been observed in several of these patients after NK cell infusion. With the current technology available at St. Jude, we have developed a procedure to purify NK cells from adult donors. This protocol will assess the safety of chemotherapy and IL-2 administration to facilitate transient NK-cell engraftment in research participants who have chemotherapy refractory hematologic malignancies including acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. In this same cohort, we will also intend to explore the efficacy of NK cells infused in those participants who have chemotherapy refractory disease.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a combination of two anticancer medicines, called vorinostat and etoposide, with a high dose of a vitamin called niacinamide. These medications will be tested at different dose levels. The investigators want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, it has on patients and their recurrent lymphoma. The first two drugs, vorinostat and niacinamide, suppress survival signals that lymphoma cells depend on. The third drug, etoposide can kill sensitive lymphoma cells alone or in combination with other chemotherapy drugs. Vorinostat is an anticancer agent that been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. It is being evaluated in this study in combination with other anticancer medicines for use in other types of lymphoma. Vorinostat's use in combination with anticancer regimens is experimental. Niacinamide is a vitamin that is investigational or experimental when given at high doses as an anticancer agent. Niacinamide has not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in lymphoma. Etoposide has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. However, the way it will be given in this clinical study is experimental.
Background: The malignant lymphomas, Hodgkin´s disease (HD) and non-Hodgkin´s lymphoma (NHL), comprise approximately 5-6% of all malignancies in adults and account for 10% of childhood cancers. Once the diagnosis has been established histologically, extent of disease (staging) and response to therapy will be assessed by means of a computed tomography (CT) scan of the body. The staging at presentation is important for determining prognosis and choice of treatment. Unfortunately, CT is accompanied by a significant amount of radiation exposure which may induce second cancers. This is especially important in childhood, because rapidly dividing cells are more sensitive to radiation induced effects and children will have more years ahead in which cancerous changes might occur. New magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques offer an alternative way for staging and follow-up of cancers, including the malignant lymphomas. Whole-body MRI (WB-MRI) is a radiation-free method which allows imaging of the body with excellent soft tissue contrast in a single examination. Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine if WB-MRI can replace CT in staging of patients with a malignant lymphoma. Design: This will be a multicenter, prospective, diagnostic cohort study (timeschedule: 36 months). 135 eligible patients will undergo WB-MRI on top of the protocolar imaging routinely done. Study population: Patients aged 8 years and older with a histological diagnosis of HD or NHL. Statistical analysis: The challenge of this study will be to show non-inferiority of WB-MRI compared to CT in staging malignant lymphoma. Testing of this hypothesis will be one-sided and performed using recently proposed techniques by Lui et al. Radiation-related risk assessment: A risk model will be used, based on the BEIR VII report, for modelling the late-term mortality from radiation induced tumors after exposure to ionizing radiation. Economic evaluation: Actual costs (from a societal perspective) will be determined for the two diagnostic tests. In case of clinical equivalence and similar costs or cost savings associated with MRI the latter can be considered dominant, obviating further economic evaluation. Otherwise, through modelling of expected long term health impact and associated outcomes such as quality of life and costs the incremental cost effectiveness will be evaluated.
