Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma"

The primary objective of this study is to determine the recommended dosing regimen of loncastuximab tesirine in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBCL) participants with moderate and severe hepatic impairment.

A study to compare pain differences between using MedJet needle-free drug-delivery system with standard of care treatment for cutaneous T-cell lymphomas and cutaneous B-cell lymphomas in participants.

High-resistance inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) is a time-efficient (~5 minutes/day) form of exercise that employs an affordable, handheld device which impedes inspiratory breathing to train the diaphragm and accessory respiratory muscles and has demonstrated improvements in both cardiovascular health (9 mmHg reduction in systolic blood pressure, 45% improvement in vascular endothelial function) and improve exercise tolerance (12% increase in treadmill exercise time) in generally healthy midlife/older adults. Therefore, this approach may circumvent preventative hurdles to exercise, and augment the effects of exercise for capable survivors.

This is a prospective, multi-center study of the whole-course management of pegaspargase in Extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma (ENKTL). Based on a complete population pharmacokinetic model of pegaspargase in ENKTL patients, the time node of asparaginase monitoring and the principle of dose adjustment will be formulated. Besides, the proportion of "silent inactivation" of asparaginase in ENKTL patients and its effect on the prognosis of patients will also be explored. The treatment plan is as follows: (1) During 8 early (stage I/II) ENKTL patients receiving P-GOD (peasparaginase + gemcitabine + oxaliplatin + dexamethasone) for the first time, the activity of pegaspargase in peripheral blood will be detected on D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, D8, D10, D12, D14, D16, D18 and D21. (2) During 4 early (stage III/IV) ENKTL patients receiving PEMD (peaspargase + etocytidine + methotrexate + dexamethasone) for the first time, the activity of pegaspargase in peripheral blood will be detected on D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, D8, D10, D12, D14, D16, D18 and D21. (3) During 72 (including above 12 patients) ENKTL patients receiving P-GOD/PEMD, the activity of pegaspargase and anti-pegaspargase in peripheral blood will be detected on D9 and D16 of each cycle of treatment.

This is a prospective randomized open-label, multicenter, 2-arm study to assess the role of healthy LifeStyle implemented Survivorship Care Plan (LS-SCP) in modifying the Quality of Life (QoL) in a population of long-term lymphoma survivors (in remission for a minimum 3 years since the last treatment and a maximum of 10 years).

Lymphoma diagnosis often involves removal and biopsy of one or more lymph nodes. Many (around half) of these diagnostic procedures show that no cancer is present, hence unnecessary removal results in numerous side effects and complications. The procedure is also highly invasive. The investigators have already shown that it is possible to tell the difference between healthy and diseased tissue in the laboratory by looking at the light emitted by tissue when a low power laser is shone on to it. The investigators intend to use this technique, known as "Raman Spectroscopy" (RS) to tell if tissue in the node is cancerous or healthy. By combining RS with a fine needle, the technique can target tissues below the skin with minimal invasion. Our needle will provide the clinician with instant diagnosis without the delay and cost of a laboratory analysis by pathologists. The investigators have designed a probe that slides through a fine needle, guided by ultrasound, to the lymph node. The space between the two needles provides space for cell aspirate. The investigators propose to measure spectra from excess lymph node biopsy samples taken during standard routine diagnostic biopsy. The investigators are also interested to see if they can successfully extract a fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy sample using the device, as well as record a RS measurement. If successful this would ease clinical adoption as the study could run in parallel with existing standard routine clinical practice, using just one device. This study will evaluate the new device on half a lymph node that will be excised and snap-frozen during a routine surgical biopsy, to gather data for submission of approvals for an in-vivo study to follow.

The purpose of this study is to learn about the impact that the services and programs provided by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society have among patients with blood cancer, such as access to care, quality of life, and financial burden.

In this study the investigators are proposing to evaluate the efficacy, sustainability, and mechanisms of 3 months of individualized counseling of the FRD delivered by registered dietitians, over 8 sessions by phone/video conferencing on fatigue, quality of life, and associated symptoms in persistently fatigued lymphoma cancer survivors compared to 3 months of individualized counseling of the attention control (matched for time and frequency of interactions with the FRD) the General Health Curriculum (GHC). The investigators will randomize and follow 68 lymphoma cancer survivors; accounting for a ~10% drop out rate to achieve a target of 60 patients that will complete the study. The investigators hypothesize that persistently fatigued lymphoma cancer survivors will experience improvements in fatigue, quality of life, and symptoms commonly associated with fatigue, which are then maintained at 15-months post-enrollment; and decreased CRP and alterations in inflammation-associated DNA methylation consistent with reduced inflammation from following the FRD as compared to the GHC.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of the decision support system developed for symptom self-management on symptom management, quality of life, and unplanned hospital admissions in Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients. Since NHL patients often experience disease and treatment-related side effects after discharge from the hospital, it would be beneficial to develop web-based decision support systems that can support symptom management at home. A mobile-compatible symptom self-management decision support system will be developed and tested with five patients, based on the needs of NHL patients, evidence-based guidelines, and expert opinions. A randomized controlled trial design with a single-blind and active control group will be applied. NHL patients will be pretested and randomized (intervention: 26, control: 26). The intervention group will use the decision support system developed for symptom self-management for three months. The researchers will share their phone numbers with the patients and be contacted via the 24/7 contact button or the phone. The effectiveness of the decision support system developed for symptom self-management is planned to be evaluated at the beginning and after 12 weeks.

The objective of thE project is to determine, whether circRNAs could be used as circulating prognostic and/or predictive biomarkers of ALK+ ALCL resistance to treatment and whether they can be exploited as therapeutic targets.
