Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma, B-Cell"

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.

Clofarabine is a new chemotherapy drug which was FDA approved for the treatment of acute lymphocytic leukemia in children. This study is being done to see if Clofarabine works in adult patients with B-cell types of lymphoma. This research is being done to develop new treatments for patients with lymphoma whose cancer has returned or resisted treatment with previous chemotherapy.

Patients undergo chemotherapy until remission is obtained, or disease has been stable for two cycles of chemotherapy, or progressive disease develops. Three to six months after completion of chemotherapy, patients who have achieved complete clinical remission or minimal disease status receive a series of 5 injections (given 1-2 months apart) of a vaccine consisting of 0.5 mg autologous tumor-derived immunoglobulin (Id) conjugated to KLH. The vaccine is administered with subcutaneous QS-21 as an immunological adjuvant....

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a blood test can accurately detect whether if the participant's lymphoma has come back after completion of initial chemotherapy treatment for their aggressive B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The purpose of the study is to see if MRD in blood samples can potentially replace CT scans after completion of chemotherapy in the future.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the event free survival at three years in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with poor prognostic factors receiving R-MegaCHOP as induction therapy. Patients with positive PET after three cycles of R-MegaCHOP receive early salvage treatment with R-IFE and autologous stem cell transplantation. Patients with negative PET after three cycles of R-MegaCHOP are treated with three additional cycles of R-MegaCHOP without transplant.

To safely reduce the burden of therapy in children, adolescents and young adults with mature B-NHL by reducing the number of intrathecal (IT) injections by the introduction of IT Liposomal Cytarabine (L-ARA-C, [Depocyt®]) and reducing the dose of anthracycline (doxorubicin) in good risk patients with the addition of rituximab to the FAB chemotherapy backbone (Immunochemotherapy).

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the application of low dose total body irradiation following chemo-immuntherapy in elderly patients with aggressive with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma would be safe and potentially benecicial adjuvant therapy

The purpose of this study is to measure the rate of complete response (CR and UCR) at the end of a course of immuno-chemotherapy: before cerebral radiotherapy for PCL after the course of immuno-chemotherapy for aggressive lymphomas with neuromeningeal involvement Toxicity of the protocol Overall survival Survival without relapse Long-term incidence of neurocognitive toxicity

The aim of the protocol is to compare the outcome of patients with DLBCL stage II bulky, III or IV with 1 to 3 adverse prognostic factors according to the International prognostic index. Patients with eligibility criteria and who gave informed consent will be randomised between CHOP-14- Rituximab x 8 courses and High dose chemotherapy with rituximab including autologous stem cell support. The aim of the study is to compare the Event free survival between the two arms and to gain insight into the prognostic significance of several biological markers gathered at the time of diagnosis/randomisation ( i.e. Fcgamma R III A genotyping, DNA profile and BCL é expression).

This is a Phase I, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study of DCDT2980S administered by intravenous (IV) infusion to patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies. In addition, at selected sites, DCDT2980S will be studied in combination with rituximab.
