Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma, Follicular"

Identify the best combination of predictive variables that influence ionizing radiation dose and improved image quality through analysis and quantification of PET-CT images in simulators and patients.

Introduction High dose chemotherapy followed by Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (ASCT) is a therapeutic option in follicular Lymphoma after first line treatment failure. The clinical characteristics and outcome of FL patients who relapsed after HDT+ASCT and therapeutic management in the rituximab era are not well known and may represent a difficult challenge. Patients and Methods: The investigators conducted a retrospective analysis of FL patients who relapsed after HDT+ASCT in four French centers treated between 2000 and 2014. Clinical records were reviewed for clinical characteristics and treatment strategy at relapse. The investigators aimed to identify prognostic factors related to patient's outcome.

This research study is collecting and storing tissue samples from patients with rare or cutaneous non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Collecting and storing samples of tissue from patients with cancer to test in the laboratory may help the study of cancer in the future.

The development of new diagnostic tools and targeted therapy have significantly improved the management of non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphomas and thus their long-term prognosis. However, in the study of improved patient management, survival is not the only measurable indicator and preservation of quality of life is an essential component. In addition, there is little existing data regarding the determinants of quality of life in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or follicular lymphoma (FL) in the general population in France.

The purpose of the study is to assess in a prospective series of patients with high tumor burden follicular lymphoma treated with R-CHOP, the predictive value of [18F]-FDG PET performed over (after 4 treatments), and at the end of the first-line treatment on progression-free survival at 2 years.

To determine whether peripheral blood flow cytometry can reduce or replace invasive bone marrow examinations in patients with slow growing lymphomas.

This retrospective study was proposed by the investigators to analyze treatment status and outcome in patients with early relapsed follicular lymphoma. In patients with follicular lymphoma who experienced disease progression within 24 months after initiation of treatment, the second-line therapy, stem cell transplantation, tumor response, progression free survival, and overall survival will be analyzed.

The Drug Use Examination (DUE) is planned and designed for the safety evaluation of new indications after the approval of a new drug in Korea. This DUE is a non-interventional, observational and post-marketing surveillance, which will be conducted by collecting the safety information of REVLIMID® for new indications in routine clinical practice in Korea. Six-Hundred (600) adult patients, who start with REVLIMID® treatment based on the approved local package insert (PI) of REVLIMID® during routine clinical practice in Korea and have indications noted below. Patients with transfusion-dependent anemia due to IPSS low- or intermediate-1-risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes associated with a deletion 5q cytogenetic abnormality (del [5q] MDS) Patients with mantle cell lymphoma who have received at least one prior therapy (rrMCL) Previously treated follicular lymphoma (FL), in combination with rituximab (an anti-CD20 antibody)

Follicular lymphoma is the second most common adult B-cell lymphoma. The acquisition of the t(14;18) translocation is the genetic hallmark of Follicular lymphoma. However, 50% to 70% of healthy individuals harbor low levels of circulating t(14;18)-positive cells but will never develop Follicular lymphoma. It was observed that individuals who developed Follicular lymphoma showed a higher t(14;18) frequency than controls (Roulland et al., J Clin Oncol 2014). High t(14;18) frequency in blood from healthy individuals could be a predictive biomarker for Follicular lymphoma development. Genetic instability of those t(14;18)+ B-cells as well as failure of the micro-environment to control the proliferation of these cells are proposed mechanisms linking these lymphoma precursors to true lymphoma cells. The prognosis of Follicular lymphoma patients has been significantly improved mainly with the development of anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies, with a current median overall survival over 15 years. However, this lymphoma remains an incurable disease. The most commonly used tool for prognostication of patients with Follicular lymphoma is the Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (FLIPI) based on conventional clinical and pathology parameters. Although it has clinical utility, the Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index does not reflect the biologic heterogeneity of Follicular lymphoma. First-degree relatives of Follicular lymphoma had a fourfold increased risk of Follicular lymphoma suggesting a genetic etiology. Using the Genome wide association studies (GWAS) approach on Follicular lymphoma cohorts of 1,565 patients, the project plan to identify new prognostic markers. These markers will then be analyzed to decipher the impact of host genetics on somatic alterations and tumor biology, using public or matched patient data. The investigators also plan to analyze the influence of single-nucleotide polymorphisms on circulating t(14;18) levels in 318 healthy individuals included in EPIC cohort that will develop Follicular lymphoma later on, and assess if these biomarkers are helpful to refine the identification of high-risk Follicular lymphoma individuals.

Study purpose is to evaluate baseline clinical data, outcome after front-line Rituximab containing chemotherapy and survival in patients with grade 3b Follicular Lymphoma. Also an histological central review is planned in order to re-assess baseline diagnosis according to new 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) criteria.
