Active clinical trials for "Hodgkin Disease"

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of transplanting StemEx® in patients with certain hematological malignancies. For these patients, it is suggested that StemEx® can improve upon the outcome of transplanting a single, unmanipulated cord blood unit by significantly increasing the number of stem/progenitor cells available to the patient.

This is a single-arm, open-label Phase II study evaluating the activity of Lenalidomide in patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of temsirolimus when given together with brentuximab vedotin in treating patients with Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned or has not responded to treatment. Temsirolimus may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Biological therapies, such as brentuximab vedotin, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Giving temsirolimus with brentuximab vedotin may work better in treating patients with Hodgkin lymphoma.

Phase II study is being conducted to confirm the safety and efficacy of high-dose Melphalan HCl for Injection (Propylene Glycol-Free) when included in the BEAM regimen for myeloablative conditioning in lymphoma patients undergoing ASCT

Treatment outcome with ABVD in elderly patients remains inferior to adults. Moreover, Bleomycin-induced lung toxicity in the elderly has been reported as high as 46%. For these reasons, questions arise whether ABVD could be still considered the standard treatment in HL patients aged > than 60. Regimens containing other alkylators such as CHOP proved even superior to ABVD, with a 3-y PFS of 67%. Frontline treatment of advanced-stage HL with Brentuximab Vedotin (BV) in association with AVD (Doxorubicin, Vinblastine, Dacarbazine) proved very active in a pioneer study, reporting the preliminary results of a phase 1 multicentre trial, in which the percentage of patients achieving CR was as high as 92%. For all these reason the investigators decided to test the association of an alkylator with an innovative mechanism of action and a very safe toxicity profile in the elderly such as Bendamustine (Be) with BV in untreated elderly HL patients. The combination of BV and Be, investigated in this study, might represent an innovative treatment alternative for HL patients older than 60 years of age, especially for those of them in whom ABVD chemotherapy, the current standard front-line treatment, is not suitable. However, even when ABVD is given as upfront treatment for elderly HL patients, it is associated with substantial dose reduction, treatment delay, toxicity, and treatment-related mortality, with treatment outcomes remaining much inferior to those obtained in younger patients. This drug association is expected to be safe, well-tolerated and to demonstrate higher efficiency compared with ABVD. In this setting, it is expected that this therapy could be offered to the large majority of elderly patients with a full treatment completion reached in up to 80% of these patients. Thus, the aim of this study will be to assess safety and efficacy of the above association.

This is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter, clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BV as a single agent in elderly patients at first relapse or with primary refractory HL. BV will be administered as a single IV infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. Measures of anti-cancer activity will be assessed using the revised response criteria for malignant lymphoma (Cheson et al. 2007). Computed tomography (CT) scans (chest, neck, abdomen, and pelvis) will be performed at baseline and Cycles 4, 8, 12, and 16 and positron emission tomography (PET) scans will be done at baseline and Cycles 4, 8, 12 and 16. Patients will have an End of Treatment (EOT) assessment 30 ± 7 days after receiving their final dose of study drug. Long-term follow-up assessments (including survival and disease status information) will be performed every 12 weeks until either patient death or study closure, whichever occurs first. Patients who discontinue study treatment with stable disease or better will have CT scans done every 12 weeks until disease progression. Study Objectives Primary: • To determine the antitumor efficacy of single-agent brentuximab vedotin (BV) (1.8 mg/kg administered intravenously every 3 weeks) as measured by the overall objective response rate in elderly patients at first relapse or with primary refractory Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Secondary: To assess duration of tumor control, including duration of response and progression-free survival To assess survival To assess the safety and tolerability of BV Additional: • To assess disease-related symptoms Study Population Eligible patients are those with first relapsed or primary refractory elderly HL. Patients must also have histologically-confirmed CD30-positive disease, fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-avid and measurable disease of at least 1.5 cm, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1, and adequate hematologic, kidney, and liver function. Eligible patients must not previously have been treated with BV, patients must not have congestive heart failure, known cerebral/meningeal disease, or any active viral, bacterial, or fungal infection requiring treatment with antimicrobial therapy within 2 weeks prior to first study dose.

Phase I trial aimed to determine the Maximum Tolerable Dose of the BV in combination with ESHAP in relapsed/resistant Hodgkin Lymphona patients and to evaluate response to treatment with BV-ESHAP as salvage regimen prior to autologous stem cell transplantation.

A pilot phase II study with brentuximab vedotin as pre-ASCT induction therapy in relapsed/refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma patients non-responding to IGEV salvage treatment.

Prospective, multicenter, Phase II trial designed to assess whether intensification of ABVD (dd-ABVD) is feasible and can improve the outcome of patients with early stage Hodgkin Lymphoma.

This study is designed as a phase Ib/II trial. The first part (phase Ib) is a dose escalation design to explore the safety and assess the recommended phase 2 dose of Brentuximab Vedotin in Hodgkin lymphoma patients treated with ICE regimen. The second part, depending on the selected dose after the completion of phase Ib part of the study, will further explore safety in addition to efficacy of the recommended dose of Brentuximab Vedotin in a selected population of patients treated with ICE with Hodgkin lymphoma.
