Filter by:This is an open-label, single-arm, multicentre study conducted in Spain to estimate the effectiveness of palifermin administered at a dose of 60 mg/kg/day IV for 3 consecutive days before the start of the conditioning regimen and for 3 consecutive days after autologous PBSCT for treating oral mucositis in patients with NHL and MM who have received high-dose conditioning chemotherapy.
This study was an early-phase trial arranged into two phases. The Phase I portion was a dose-escalation study designed to assess the safety, tolerability and to identify the maximum tolerated dose of SB-743921 in patients with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and Hodgkin Lymphoma. Phase II was intended to assess the activity, safety and tolerability of SB-743921 in patients with Indolent and Aggressive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas exclusively. The Phase II portion of the study was not initiated.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) incidence rates have risen three percent per year in the U.S. for four decades. Mortality from NHL has risen 1.6 percent, compared with 0.2 percent for all cancers combined. This epidemic curve appears in both sexes and around the world, suggesting the possibility of an etiologic agent increasing in prevalence in the general environment. Recent research has identified several possible candidates including pesticides, other organochlorines, drinking water nitrates, and sunlight. There is an urgent need to evaluate whether these common exposures are contributing to the rapid rise in NHL, and to investigate other hypothesized risk factors such as viruses, medical conditions, hair dye use, and genetic factors. The purpose of this study is to examine the contribution to NHL risk of these important environmental, occupational, viral, medical, and personal exposures, and to pursue important leads emerging from on-going NHL research. This multidisciplinary, population-based case-control study will involve personal interviews to collect information on demographics, residential history, pesticide use, and occupational exposures; self-administered questionnaires to collect information on diet, family and medical history, and other exposures; tap water and carpet dust sampling to collect information on nitrate and pesticide exposures; and blood sampling for measurements of compounds in the serum, antibodies to viruses, and examination of genetic polymorphisms.
In order to improve the clinical result of high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation for B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Zevalin will be added to the conditioning regimen. Investigators expect this radioimmunotherapy of Zevalin plus busulfan, cyclophosphamide and etoposide regimen will improve survival of relapsed or poor-risk B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Oxaliplatin will be used instead of cisplatin in well-known salvage regimen of etoposide, methylprednisolone, cytarabine and cisplatin (ESHAP). Clinical efficacy and toxicity of this ESHAOX salvage regimen will be evaluated in refractory or relapsed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients.
In this study, MGCD0103, a new anticancer drug under investigation, is given three times weekly to patients with advanced solid tumors or Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
Purpose: This study will evaluate the safety of CHOP plus Alemtuzumab in patients with T/NK cell lymphomas and CD-20 negative large B-cell lymphomas who have not had previous treatments. The biological response of lymphoma cells and the immune system to this drug combination will also be measured in patients before, during, and after therapy administration.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of VELCADE and rituximab improves progression free survival relative to rituximab alone in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL) who never received rituximab or who have previously responded to rituximab. This is an international study being conducted in the United States and in many countries around the world. A complete list of study locations is listed below.
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, and total-body irradiation before a donor umbilical cord blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells and prepares the patient's bone marrow for the 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 cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving fludarabine and cyclophosphamide together with total-body irradiation works in treating patients who are undergoing an umbilical cord blood transplant for hematologic cancer.
This is a Phase I trial to look at safety and how a patient's body will tolerate the treatment at different dosages.
