Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma"

This phase II trial studies how well yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan and rituximab work in treating patients with recurrent or refractory primary central nervous system non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as yttrium 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan, can find cancer cells and carry cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Giving yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan with rituximab may kill more cancer cells.

This research is being done to study a combination of Brentuximab vedotin and Rituximab for the treatment of relapsed Hodgkin's Lymphoma (HL).

Patients with previously untreated low tumor burden indolent Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) will receive either rituximab or GA101 weekly for 4 weeks followed by re-staging to determine response. Rituximab, an anti-CD20 chimeric antibody, was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration in 1998 for the treatment of patients with relapsed low-grade B-cell lymphomas. Clinically, four weekly doses of rituximab have proven to be well tolerated and effective in previously untreated as well as relapsed patients with low-grade lymphoma. GA101 is an anti-CD20 humanized and glyco-engineered monoclonal antibody. GA101 has been shown to have increased antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and direct cell-death induction compared to Rituximab. It is possible that GA101 may have greater efficacy than rituximab. PrE0401 Sub-Study Evaluation of Corrected QT (QTc) Interval and Pharmacokinetic Parameters in Patients Participating in GA101 (Obinutuzumab) Approximately twenty-five patients randomized to GA101 may participate in the sub-study. Electrocardiograms and blood samples will be obtained.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of dose-adjusted EPOCH-R in patients with MYC positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

The purpose of this study is to prove the superiority of concurrent chemoradiation compared with radiotherapy alone in patients with low risk NK/T-cell lymphoma.

This study is designed to investigate: the interest of a new monoclonal antibody (GA101)versus rituximab the interest of PET to identify early responders Patients will receive either rituximab (standard treatment), either GA101 (study treatment), according to the randomization arm. The monoclonal antibody will be associated to a chemotherapy: CHOP or ACVBP according to site's choice.A PET scan will be done before inclusion, after 2 chemotherapy cycles, and after 4 chemotherapy cycles, to identify early patients responders, for who consolidation with ASCT is not required.

This study has 3 parts. The purpose of Part 1 of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of brentuximab vedotin in combination with RCHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) (known as BV+RCHOP) in patients with DLBCL who have never been treated. Patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive RCHOP together with 1 of 2 doses of brentuximab vedotin. Patients will be tested to see if there is a difference in side effects between the 2 groups. The purpose of Part 2 of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of brentuximab vedotin in combination with RCHP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone) (known as BV+RCHP) in patients with CD30-positive DLBCL who have never been treated. Patients will be enrolled to receive RCHP together with 1.8mg/kg of brentuximab vedotin. The purpose of Part 3 of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of BV+RCHP compared to standard RCHOP in patients with CD30-positive DLBCL that have never been treated. Patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either BV+RCHP or RCHOP. Patients will be tested to see if there is a difference in side effects between the 2 groups.

This research study is a Pilot Study. Pilot studies are conducted to see if it is practical to do this type of research on a larger scale in the future. The pilot part of this study is to assess the possibility of using proton radiation to treat lymphomas. Proton radiation is used for many other types of malignancies, but its use for the treatment of lymphoma has been limited. The treatment is still being studied as research doctors are trying to find out more about its use in the treatment of different types of lymphoma. Proton beam radiation therapy is an FDA approved radiation delivery system. Patients are being asked to participate in this research study if they have lymphoma in the center of their chest, near their heart. Conventional radiation therapy with photons is used as standard treatment for many patients with lymphoma. In this research study investigators are looking at another type of radiation called proton radiation, which is known to spare surrounding tissue and organs from radiation. Proton radiation delivers radiation to the area requiring radiation but delivers no dose beyond the region requiring treatment. This may reduce side effects that patients would normally experience with conventional radiation therapy or other means of delivering proton radiation therapy. In this research study, investigators are evaluating the effectiveness of using proton radiation delivered to reduce side effects associated with radiation treatment.

The purpose of this study is compare the efficacy of haplo-cord transplant (investigational arm) with that of a more commonly used procedure in which only the cells contained in one or two umbilical cords are infused (standard arm). We hypothesize that reduced intensity conditioning and haplo-cord transplant results in fast engraftment of neutrophils and platelets, low incidences of acute and chronic graft versus host disease, low frequency of delayed opportunistic infections, reduced transfusion requirements, shortened length of hospital stay and promising long term outcomes. We also hypothesize that umbilical cord blood selection can prioritize matching and better matched donors can be identified rapidly for most subjects.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether ublituximab in combination with lenalidomide (Revlimid®) is safe and effective in patients with B-Cell Lymphoid Malignancies who have relapsed or are refractory after CD20 directed antibody therapy.
