Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin"

This phase II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of alemtuzumab when given together with fludarabine phosphate and total-body irradiation followed by cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil in treating patients who are undergoing a donor stem cell transplant for hematologic cancer. Giving low doses of chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate, a monoclonal antibody, such as alemtuzumab, and radiation therapy before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. Giving chemotherapy or radiation therapy before or after transplant also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's bone marrow stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of six cycles of concurrent fludarabine and rituximab in patients with mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) or CD5-, CD10-, CD20+ low-grade B cell lymphomas.

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 work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving rituximab together with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving rituximab together with combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with stage II, stage III, or stage IV diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a continuous infusion of Blinatumomab (MT103) is safe in the treatment of relapsed Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Furthermore, the study is intended to provide pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data of Blinatumomab as well as to get first indication of tumour activity.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells. A peripheral stem cell transplant may be able to replace blood-forming cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy. Giving white blood cells, that have been treated in the laboratory with antibodies, may make the transplant work better. Giving combination chemotherapy followed by an autologous stem cell transplant, and white blood cell infusions may be an effective treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of white blood cell infusions when given together with combination chemotherapy, and autologous stem cell transplant in treating patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that has relapsed, is refractory, or is in remission.

The study evaluates the additional use of radioimmunotherapy with a 90-Yttrium labeled monoclonal antibody targeting lymphoma cells in two dose reduced conditioning regimens for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation from human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical donors. Radioimmunotherapy should allow an increased anti-lymphoma effect of the conditioning while the allogeneic grafts may confer potent graft versus lymphoma effects and rescue from potential hematopoietic side effects of the radioimmunotherapy. The study evaluates the feasibility and toxicity of such approach and will also analyze disease response and survival of the patients treated.

This will be an open label, multiple center, non-randomized, dose-escalation Phase I/II trial, designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a repeated, outpatient regimen utilizing IMMU-hLL2 intact monoclonal antibody IgG labeled with different doses of 90Y for the treatment of patients B-cell lymphoma (NHL).

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.

The association between the CYP2C18/19 genetic polymorphisms and eradication of Hp infection after antibiotics.

Patients will receive a standard 5 mCi dosimetric dose of fission-derived Iodine I 131 Tositumomab. Pharmacokinetic data for the primary endpoint analysis will be derived from testing done on blood samples drawn at 12 timepoints over the first 7 days following administration of the dosimetric dose. Whole body gamma camera images will be obtained on six days following the dosimetric dose. Organ and tumor dosimetry data will be generated from gamma camera counts of specific organs and tumor. All scans will be examined by an independent review panel to evaluate biodistribution of the radionuclide. Using the dosimetric data from three of the six imaging time points and the patient's weight, a patient-specific activity (mCi) of Iodine-131 will be calculated to deliver the desired total body dose of radiation (75 cGy). Patients will receive an infusion of unlabeled Tositumomab (450 mg) immediately followed by an infusion of the patient specific dose of tellurium-derived Iodine I 131 Tositumomab (35 mg) to deliver a total body dose (TBD) of 75 cGy. Patients will be followed closely obtaining safety information during the post-treatment period, and for response and safety at 3,6,and 12 months during the first year, annually thereafter up to five years, and annually for additional safety and outcomes information up to 10 years.
