Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Lymphoid"

RATIONALE: AR-42 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of AR-42 in treating patients with advanced or relapsed multiple myeloma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, or lymphoma.

This phase II trial studies giving rituximab before and after a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant in patients with B-cell lymphoma that does not respond to treatment (refractory) or has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed). Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving rituximab before and after a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant may help stop cancer from coming back and may help keep the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells.

To evaluate whether HSCT from matched family or unrelated donors (MD) is equivalent to the HSCT from matched sibling donors (MSD). To evaluate the efficacy of HSCT from mismatched family or unrelated donors (MMD) as compared to HSCT from MSD/MD. To determine whether therapy has been carried out according to the main HSCT protocol recommendations. The standardisation of the treatment options during HSCT from different donor types aims at the achievement of an optimal comparison of survival after HSCT with survival after chemotherapy only. To prospectively evaluate and compare the incidence of acute and chronic GvHD after HSCT from MSD, from MD and from MMD.

The primary objective of this study is to determine the percentage of patients achieving a response, defined as the percentage of patients achieving complete response, partial response and stable disease/ no change upon treatment with the combination therapy according to NCI response criteria (also established according to IWCLL guidelines) upon treatment with a combination of bendamustine and alemtuzumab.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the combination of lenalidomide and rituximab can help to control Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL) in patients who have already received therapy. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and bendamustine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. It is not yet known whether giving fludarabine and cyclophosphamide together with rituximab is more effective than giving bendamustine together with rituximab in treating chronic lymphocytic leukemia. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab to see how well they work compared with bendamustine and rituximab in treating patients with previously untreated B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ofatumumab added to fludarabine-cyclophosphamide in patients with relapsed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL).

This goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the combination of methotrexate, pegylated-L-asparaginase, vincristine, and dexamethasone (also rituximab in some patients) can help to control ALL that has not responded to previous treatment or has come back after a response or chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).

This will be the first multidisciplinary, randomized, longitudinal trial of a tailored, parent- and child-focused physical activity program for children (ages 4- <19 years) with newly diagnosed ALL. It will test the ability of the intervention to prevent or diminish early physical function limitations and improve health-related quality of life (HRQL). The intervention will be tested for its effect on: 1) physical function outcomes (muscle strength, range of motion, endurance, gross motor skills), bone density and bone mineral content (end of therapy only); and 2) HRQL. This multi-site trial will test the intervention in 76 evaluable children with ALL (38 receiving the intervention and 38 receiving a placebo "minimal movement" standard care strategy).

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of panobinostat and everolimus when given together and to see how well they work in treating patients with multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back. Panobinostat and everolimus may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
