Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of once- weekly dosing of PROCRIT® (a glycoprotein that stimulates red blood cell production) versus placebo in the treatment of anemia in children with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, and to assess its effect on the quality of life.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether pralatrexate, given with vitamin B12 and folic acid, is effective in the treatment of relapsed or refractory B-cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). The study will also investigate the safety of pralatrexate with vitamin B12 and folic acid in this participant population. Additionally, this study includes the collection of blood samples to investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of pralatrexate in this participant population (PK is the activity of a drug in the body over a period of time, including how the drug is absorbed, distributed in the body, localized in the tissues, and excreted from the body).

RATIONALE: 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. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, vincristine sulfate, prednisone, and liposome-encapsulated doxorubicin citrate, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether rituximab and combination chemotherapy are more effective when given together with or without liposome-encapsulated doxorubicin citrate in treating older patients with diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving rituximab together with cyclophosphamide, vincristine sulfate, and prednisone with or without liposome-encapsulated doxorubicin citrate and to see how well it works in treating older patients with stage II, stage III, or stage IV diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of gossypol when given together with paclitaxel and carboplatin in treating patients with solid tumors that are metastatic or cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gossypol, paclitaxel, and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving gossypol together with paclitaxel and carboplatin may kill more tumor cells

This phase II trial studies how well ruxolitinib phosphate works in treating patients with diffuse large B-cell or peripheral T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory) after donor stem cell transplant. Ruxolitinib phosphate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This phase II trial studies how well cyclophosphamide works in preventing chronic graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant in patients with hematological malignancies. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before transplantation helps stop the growth of cancer cells and prevents the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. Healthy stem cells from a donor that are infused into the patient help the patient's bone marrow make blood cells; red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes, however, the transplanted donor cells can cause an immune response against the body's normal cells, which is called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Giving cyclophosphamide after transplant may prevent this from happening or may make chronic GVHD less severe.

This Phase II study is to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Mobilization of TG-0054 alone or in combination with G-CSF in Patients with Multiple Myeloma, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma or Hodgkin Disease.

The Phase I part of the study will apply to identify dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) and to define maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) for a new chemoimmunotherapy combination of bendamustine, ofatumumab, carboplatin, and etoposide in patients with Non Hodgkin's lymphoma whose disease has progressed or has recurred after prior chemotherapy. The Phase II part of the study will be a single-arm, open-label study in which all patients will receive combination bendamustine, ofatumumab, carboplatin and etoposide at the MTD dose defined in phase I. This study hopes to identify a life-prolonging therapy for patients with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma whose disease has progressed or has recurred after prior chemotherapy. The hypothesis is that the proposed combination of chemotherapy is well-tolerated and is efficacious for the treatment of relapsed/refractory aggressive B cell lymphomas.

This phase II trial studies how well alisertib works in treating patients with peripheral T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement or has not responded to treatment. Alisertib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This is a phase II clinical trial using risk-adapted therapy. The treatment is acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)-based therapy, using multi-agent regimens comprising of induction, consolidation, and continuation (maintenance) phases delivered over 24-30 months. Participants will be classified into 3 treatment stratums, based on bone marrow/peripheral blood lymphoma cells involvement at diagnosis and day 8 for T-lymphoblastic lymphoma and bone marrow/peripheral blood lymphoma cells involvement at diagnosis for B-lymphoblastic lymphoma. The Primary Objective of this study is: To improve the outcome of children with lymphoblastic lymphoma (LL) who have minimal disseminated disease (MDD) equal to or more than 1% at diagnosis by using MDD- and minimal residual disease (MRD)- based risk-adapted therapy. The Secondary Objectives of this study are: To estimate the event-free survival and overall survival of children with lymphoblastic lymphoma who are treated with MDD- or MRD-based risk- directed therapy. To evaluate the prognostic value of levels of MDD at diagnosis and MRD on day 8 of remission induction.
