Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma, B-Cell"

The primary purpose of the study will be testing the dosing of temozolomide to find the target dose that a person can tolerate. The other part of the study will be determining how helpful it can be to CNS lymphoma patients by adding temozolomide to the "conditioning regimen" prior to stem cell transplantation. This research study is designed to test the investigational use of temozolomide as part of a conditioning regimen prior to stem cell transplantation. This drug has not yet been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be used in the setting of stem cell transplantation in lymphomas of the brain (central nervous system or CNS) but it has been studied and used before in transplantation with reasonable results.

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well high-dose yttrium-90 (Y-90)-ibritumomab tiuxetan (anti-cluster of differentiation [CD]20) followed by fludarabine phosphate, low-dose total body irradiation (TBI), and donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant (PBSCT) work in treating patients with aggressive B-cell lymphoma that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as Y-90-ibritumomab tiuxetan, can find cancer cells and carry cancer-killing substances to them with less effect on normal cells. Giving chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate, and TBI before a donor PBSCT helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. However, high-dose radiolabeled antibodies also destroy healthy blood cells in the patient's body. When healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient (stem cell transplant), they may help the patient's body replace these blood cells. Giving high-dose Y-90-ibritumomab tiuxetan followed by fludarabine phosphate, TBI, and donor PBSCT may be an effective treatment for patients with B-cell lymphoma.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Zevalin compared with observation alone in participants who are in PET-negative complete remission after first-line R-CHOP or R-CHOP like therapy.

The purpose of this study is evaluate the response, safety and tolerability in subjects receiving the investigational drugs, RAD001 and LBH589. Subjects in Part 1 will receive one drug for four cycles followed by 4 cycles of the second drug unless they achieve complete remission. Subjects in a complete remission may receive up to 6 cycles of study drug and will not receive the next study drug until there is evidence of disease progression. Subjects in Part 2 will receive both drugs together for at least 2 cycles and up to 13 if tolerated.

This is a study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TRU-015 in treatment of B-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL). TRU-015 is also currently being evaluated in multiple clinical studies for the treatment of autoimmune disorders. Over 300 patients have received TRU-015 in these studies, and the data observed to date support its safety in patients with autoimmune disorders. Safety of an escalating dose of 4 weekly infusions of TRU-015 will be evaluated in subjects with relapsed NHL (see inclusion criteria for subtypes). Once a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is confirmed or maximum dose to be studied is determined to be safe and well tolerated, an expanded cohort of subjects with relapsed follicular NHL will be evaluated for efficacy.

This is a Phase II, single institution, single-arm, open-label study of oral dasatinib monotherapy administered to subjects with relapsed or refractory aggressive DLBCL. This study will be conducted in two phases: a Treatment Phase and a Follow-up Phase. Research Hypothesis: Dasatinib, when administered orally at a continuous dose of 100 mg once daily, will be safe and effective in treating subjects that have failed prior therapies to diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or have relapsed disease.

This is a Phase 1 study with Cohort Expansion of Pentostatin, Bendamustine and Ofatumumab (PBO) for patients with previously treated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) and B-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (B- cell NHL). The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal dose of bendamustine in combination with pentostatin and ofatumumab, and then to see how safe these three drugs work together.

The primary goal of this study is to determine the effects (good and bad) of Granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in combination with Cytoxan, Adriamycin, Vincristine, Prednisone, Rituximab (CHOP-R) on diffuse Large B cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (DLBCL). The standard of care for DLBCL is the combination of drugs known as CHOP-Rituximab (CHOP-R). The drugs that make up CHOP-R are the chemotherapy drugs cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and vincristine, prednisone and rituximab. GM-CSF is a drug that stimulates the immune system by increasing the numbers of white blood cells. Previous research has shown that GM-CSF might help rituximab to be more effective in treating lymphoma.

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of giving tanespimycin together with bortezomib in treating patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphomas. (Accrual for lymphoma patients closed as of 11/27/09) Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as tanespimycin, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. It may also increase the effectiveness of tanespimycin by making cancer cells more sensitive to the drug. Combining tanespimycin with bortezomib may kill more cancer cells.

This study seeks to determine the maximum tolerated dose of bortezomib in combination with rituximab, ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide for patients with relapsed or primary refractory aggressive B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (diffuse large B-cell, mantle cell, follicular grade III, transformed lymphoma). Subjects will be enrolled in cohorts of 3 at each bortezomib dose level, starting at 1 mg/m(2), and escalating to 1.3, 1.5, and 1.7 mg/m(2). Bortezomib will be given on days 1 (prior to rituximab) and 4, rituximab 375 mg/m(2)/day on days 2, 3, and 4 of a 21-day cycle. They will also receive filgrastim on days 6-13 or pegfilgrastim on day 6.
