Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin"

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of GSK525762C (molibresib besylate) and entinostat in treating patients with solid tumors or lymphomas that have spread to other parts of the body (advanced) or are not responding to treatment (refractory). GSK525762C and entinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This study may help doctors find out if giving the combination of GSK525762C and entinostat is better or worse than the usual approach for treating solid tumors or lymphomas.

This is a Phase 3 study to investigate the safety and efficacy of the investigational drug, zilovertamab, when given in combination with ibrutinib in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of duvelisib in combination with bendamustine and rituximab (DBR) vs placebo in combination with bendamustine and rituximab (PBR) in subjects with previously-treated indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL).

This phase II trial studies how well etoposide, prednisone, vincristine sulfate, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin hydrochloride with asparaginase work in treating patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as etoposide, prednisone, vincristine sulfate, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Asparaginase breaks down the amino acid asparagine and may block the growth of tumor cells that need asparagine to grow. Giving combination chemotherapy with asparaginase may work better in treating patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma.

This clinical trial studies gene-modified, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-protected stem cell transplant in treating patients with HIV-associated lymphoma. Stem cells, or cells which help form blood, are collected from the patient and stored. They are treated in the laboratory to help protect the immune system from HIV. Chemotherapy is given before transplant to kill lymphoma cells and to make room for new stem cells to grow. Patients then receive the stem cells that were collected from them before chemotherapy and have been genetically modified to replace the stem cells killed by the chemotherapy.

This pilot phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-resistant gene modified stem cells in treating HIV-positive patients who are undergoing first-line treatment for Hodgkin or Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Stem cells are collected from the patient and HIV-resistance genes are placed into the stem cells. The stem cells are then re-infused into the patient. These genetically modified stem cells may help the body make cells that are resistant to HIV infection.

The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease. No single way seems perfect for fighting cancer. This research study combines two different ways of fighting disease: antibodies and T cells. Antibodies are proteins that protect the body from diseases caused by germs or toxic substances. They work by binding those germs or substances, which stops them from growing and causing bad effects. T cells, also called T lymphocytes, are special infection-fighting blood cells that can kill other cells, including tumor cells or cells that are infected with germs. Both antibodies and T cells have been used to treat patients with cancers: they both have shown promise, but have not been strong enough to cure most patients. Investigators hope that both will work better together. Investigators have found from previous research that they can put a new gene into T cells that will make them recognize cancer cells and kill them. Investigators now want to see if they can attach a gene to T cells that will help them do a better job at recognizing and killing lymphoma cells. The new gene that investigators will put in T cells makes an antibody called anti-CD30. This antibody sticks to lymphoma cells because of a substance on the outside of the cells called CD30. Anti-CD30 antibodies have been used to treat people with lymphoma, but have not been strong enough to cure most patients. For this study, the anti-CD30 antibody has been changed so that instead of floating free in the blood it is now joined to the T cells. When an antibody is joined to a T cell in this way, it is called a chimeric receptor. These CD30 chimeric receptor-activated T cells seem to kill some of the tumor, but they don't last very long and so their chances of fighting the cancer are unknown.

Background: - Cord blood banks have been set up to collect and store umbilical cord blood for transplants. These transplants are used to treat different types of cancer. In October 2011, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began considering cord blood as a biological drug. Most of the cord blood units currently available in cord blood banks in the United States and other countries were collected before the FDA set these new standards. The units meet standards set by the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP), but they were not collected, tested, or stored exactly according to FDA standards. As a result, the new guidelines state that they may only be used for transplant if the transplant is done as part of a study. Researchers have set up a study to provide these cord blood units to recipients and to study the effects of their use. Objectives: To provide access to cord blood units for recipients whose best choice for a unit meets NMDP but not FDA standards. To study the effects of these cord blood transplants. Eligibility: - Individuals who need to have a cord blood transplant to treat certain types of cancer. Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam, medical history. They will also have blood tests and imaging studies. Participants will have the cord blood transplant and allow their medical data to be collected by the study researchers.

This is an open-label, multicenter phase II study in patients with aggressive Non Hodgkin Lymphoma scheduled to receive moderately emetogenic polychemotherapy (according to modified Hesketh classification for antiemetic therapy).

BBR 2778 is a novel aza-anthracenedione that has activity in experimental tumors and reduced delayed cardiotoxicity in animal models compared to reference standards. This cytotoxic agent has structural similarities to mitoxantrone as well as general similarities to anthracyclines (such as the tricyclic central quinoid chromophore7). This phase III study will compare the efficacy and safety of the combination BBR 2778, fludarabine, and rituximab with the combination fludarabine and rituximab in patients with relapsed or refractory indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
