Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma, Follicular"

This research trial studies deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis in predicting response to antibody therapy in patients with follicular lymphoma treated on clinical trials Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB)-50402 or CALGB-50701. Studying samples of blood from patients with follicular lymphoma in the laboratory may help doctors predict how well patients will respond to treatment.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the overall safety profile of idelalisib monotherapy in patients with refractory follicular lymphoma (FL).

The study is designed as a retrospective analysis of patients with relapsed/refractory FL identified by the hematological centers of Italy.

A previous phase II trial entitled Treatment of Follicular non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma with High Dose Therapy and Stem Cell Support Followed by Consolidative Immunotherapy with Rituximab and Alpha Interferon was conducted at the Odette Cancer Centre between 2005 and 2012. The primary objectives of this previous trial was to assess progression free survival and overall survival. Of the 36 patients in this trial, approximately 18 remain in remission. In this new follow up trial, follow up data will prospectively be collected on patients who provide informed consent to do so.

RATIONALE: Studying samples of serum from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict how well patients will respond to treatment. PURPOSE: This research study is studying vitamin D insufficiency in determining prognosis in patients with newly diagnosed follicular lymphoma.

This is a prospective, observational, longitudinal, multicenter study of patients with newly diagnosed follicular Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) designed to delineate differences in clinical outcome by comparing the effectiveness and safety of common treatment regimens.

This prospective observational study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of first-line rituximab maintenance therapy in participants with follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Participants initiated on rituximab maintenance therapy according to the standard of care and in line with the current summary of product characteristics will be followed for a maximum of 3 years or until disease progression occurs.

The anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies, rituximab (R) and obinutuzumab (G), are used as standard maintenance therapy every 2 months for 2 to 3 years in patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) or mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). This treatment is associated with profound and prolonged B lymphopenia, hypogammaglobulinemia and increased infections. Severe forms of COVID-19 on Rituximab with prolonged carriage of the virus have been reported due to significant impairment of humoral immunity in this context of maintenance therapy. Therefore, during the COVID-19 epidemic, clinicians are faced with the question of whether to discontinue maintenance therapy or continue treatment. However, the half-life of rituximab is 29 days and lymphopenia continues for up to 9-12 months after stopping injections. Therefore, it is not clear that discontinuation of maintenance therapy will alter the risk of severe SARS-CoV-2. However, post-vaccination immunization against SARS-CoV-2 by an mRNA vaccine is not known in this context of prolonged treatment with rituximab or obinutuzumab. It is however well established that post-vaccination responses against diphtheria, tetanus, pneumococcus, HBV, or influenza in particular are altered after anti-CD20 antibodies. If the humoral response is crucial in the post-vaccination response, it is also suggested that the preservation of innate immunity and the CD8 response, unaltered by anti-CD20, could also play an important role in the post-vaccination response and virus clearance. The aim of our study is to evaluate the humoral and post-vaccination T-cell response based on serological data and T-cell production of interferon gamma in response to SARS-CoV-2 specific antigens (Elispot interferon gamma) in this group of patients treated for lymphoma with a long-term anti-CD20 antibody.

The objective of this study is to compare hematological toxicity, costs, health-related quality of Life (HR-QOL) and outcomes observed in real life in the Belgian Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) population receiving 90Y-Zevalin, with model-predicted data at reimbursement on the basis of a clinical trial in heavily pre-treated NHL.

Background:Altered Toll-like receptor (TLR) expression levels and/or mutations in its signaling pathway (such as MyD88 mutation) contribute to the pathogenesis of lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD). CD180 is an orphan member of the TLR family that modulates the signaling of several TLRs, but only limited studies have evaluated its expression by flow cytometry (FCM) in LPD. Methods: Using a multiparameter FCM approach, biologists have assessed CD180 mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) in lymph nodes (LNs) and peripheral blood (PB) samples obtained from patients with follicular lymphoma (FL; LN/PB, n=44/n=15), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL, n=26/n=21), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL, n=13/n=17), and marginal zone lymphoma (MZL, n=16/n=12). Specimens from non-tumoral PB and LN (n=8/n=12) were used as controls.
