Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin"

The purpose of this study is to obtain blood (up to 90 ml or 18-teaspoonfuls on one or two occasions) to make LMP1- and LMP2-cytotoxic T-lymphocytes and grow them in the laboratory in such a way that they are able to attack LMP1- and LMP2-positive cells in the laboratory. If we are successful in growing these cells and if we feel they would be helpful to the donor, we would then give the cells back to the donor. This trial is for patients that have a type of lymph gland cancer called Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or chronic active Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infection, which has come back or not gone away after treatment, including the best treatment we know. This is a research study using special immune system cells called LMP1- and LMP2-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (LMP1- and LMP2-CTLs), a new experimental therapy. As in chronic active EBV infection, some patients with Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma show evidence of infection with the virus that causes infectious mononucleosis (EBV) before or at the time of their diagnosis of the Lymphoma. EBV is found in the cancer cells of up to half the patients with lymphoma, suggesting that it may play a role in causing lymphoma. The cancer cells infected by EBV are able to hide from the body's immune system and escape destruction. We want to see if special white blood cells, called T cells, that have been trained to kill EBV infected cells can survive in the patient's blood and affect EBV-positive cells. In this present study we are trying to find out if we can improve this treatment by growing T cells that only recognize two of the proteins expressed on lymphoma cells called LMP1 and LMP2. These special T cells are called LMP1- and LMP2-specific cytotoxic CTLs.

AG-024322 may work in cancer by stopping cancer cells from multiplying. AG-024322 is and intravenous drug from a new class of drugs call cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK inhibitors). This research study is the first time that AG-024322 will be given to people.

This study is being conducted to determine the safety, side effects, and response to a combination of an established high-dose chemotherapy regimen, stem cell support and Rituximab (which is a form of immunotherapy).

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Peripheral stem cell transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Sometimes the transplanted cells are rejected by the body's normal tissues. Cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, methotrexate, and tacrolimus may prevent this from happening. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of fludarabine plus total-body irradiation with that of combination chemotherapy followed by donor peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have relapsed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of carmustine given together with O(6)-benzylguanine in treating patients with stage I or stage II cutaneous T-cell lymphoma that has not responded to previous treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells

To determine the safety and toxicity of high-dose systemic methotrexate (MTX) and dexamethasone (DEX) combined with zidovudine (AZT) and brain irradiation in patients with AIDS-related primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma and to determine response rates and survival of treated patients. Also to determine if the treatment inhibits HIV replication in patients who are HIV culture and/or antigen positive and to assess the incidence of opportunistic infection in these patients Results of radiation given to patients with AIDS-related high-grade CNS lymphoma have been disappointing, with short survival times due to infection complications. However, complete response has been documented after radiation in some patients. High-dose MTX will be used to improve the possibility of a greater antineoplastic response than that obtained by radiation alone. Since the underlying immunodeficiency state is not affected by therapy directed against the lymphoma, patients are still prone to life-threatening opportunistic infections or relapse of lymphomatous disease within the CNS. Accordingly, AZT will also be used in an attempt to alter the overall natural history of the disease.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of MT-3724 in combination with Lenalidomide in participants with relapsed or refractory B-Cell NHL.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to identify the highest dose of MEN1309 drug with acceptable safety profile and that can be used in patients affected by CD205-positive solid tumors and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of MT-3724 in combination with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (GEMOX) in participants with relapsed or refractory B-Cell NHL.

The purpose of this phase 2 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NIR178 in combination with PDR001 in multiple solid tumors and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and further explore schedule variations of NIR178 to optimize immune activation through inhibition of A2aR.
