Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin"

RATIONALE: Biological therapies, such as agatolimod sodium, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. 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. Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan, can find cancer cells and carry cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Giving agatolimod sodium together with rituximab and yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of agatolimod sodium when given together with rituximab and yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan and to see how well it works in treating patients with recurrent or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

This is a phase I trial to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of clofarabine in a combination with high-dose etoposide and cyclophosphamide. This is an initial step in developing a novel myeloablative preparative regimen for autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT). While this phase I trial will initially develop the regimen in patients with refractory disease, it is expected that it will find its best application in patients with less advanced disease.

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy and radiation therapy to the entire body before an autologous peripheral stem cell transplant stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. The patient's stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy and radiation therapy. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving combination chemotherapy together with or without total-body irradiation followed by a stem cell transplant and to see how well it works in treating patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of soluble beta-glucan (SBG) in combination with antibody and chemotherapy treatment in patients with non-Hodgkin-s lymphoma.

The purpose of this study is to determine if a subcutaneous (SC) dosing schedule of veltuzumab can be established in NHL or CLL patients and to confirm the safety and efficacy of veltuzumab that was previously established when administered intravenously.

The main purpose of this study is to determine the effects (good and bad) and the safety of Dynavax's immunostimulatory phosphorothiolate oligodeoxyribonucleotide (1018 ISS) given in combination with Rituxan on patients with B-cell follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This research is being done because recurrent follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is not curable with standard chemotherapy or antibody treatments. 1018 ISS is an experimental compound that consists of short pieces of DNA that stimulate the immune system. It is hoped that 1018 ISS may improve the ability of Rituxan to kill cancer cells.

This study was an early-phase trial arranged into two phases. The Phase I portion was a dose-escalation study designed to assess the safety, tolerability and to identify the maximum tolerated dose of SB-743921 in patients with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and Hodgkin Lymphoma. Phase II was intended to assess the activity, safety and tolerability of SB-743921 in patients with Indolent and Aggressive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas exclusively. The Phase II portion of the study was not initiated.

This Phase 1 escalating-dose study is designed to assess, the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of the novel proteasome inhibitor CEP 18770, given intravenously as single agent, in patients with advanced, incurable solid tumours or NHL, and to identify the recommended dose of CEP 18770 to be used in Phase 2 studies.

To determine the activity of lenalidomide in relapsed or refractory aggressive NHL.

The aim of the study is to test [90]Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan, a radioactive antibody, in patients with stage III or IV follicular lymphoma whose disease is in partial or complete remission after first line chemotherapy. The radioactive antibody will be compared with no further treatment to see which is better in the long term after standard lymphoma treatment.
