Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma"

This Phase 2 study was designed to assess the safety and hematological activity of AMD3100 (plerixafor) in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) or multiple myeloma (MM) who were predicted to be unable to mobilize ≥2*10^6 CD34+ cells/kg within 3 apheresis days. Patients with NHL and MM were eligible to enter the study if they had undergone cyto-reductive chemotherapy, were to undergo autologous transplantation, and met the inclusion/exclusion criteria. The purpose of this protocol was to determine whether plerixafor in combination with Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) can increase the circulating levels of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) in patients whose peripheral CD34+ counts remain low after treatment with G-CSF alone, whether it was safe, and whether transplantation with the apheresis product was successful, as measured by time to engraftment of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and platelets (PLTs).

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects (good and bad) of the medication basiliximab in combination with cyclosporine with cyclosporine alone for the prevention of graft-versus-host disease. This research is being done because there is no completely safe and effective prevention for graft-versus-host disease. It is known that cyclosporine helps with GVHD but we would like to know if the addition of basiliximab will decrease the incidence and/or severity of GVHD after a transplant known as nonmyeloablative ("mini" transplant).

Participants will be randomized to SCH 727965 or a comparator drug (bortezomib for mantle cell lymphoma [MCL] or alemtuzumab for B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia [B CLL]). Part 1 of the study will determine the activity of SCH 727965 treatment in participants with MCL and participants with B-CLL. Part 2 of the study will determine the activity of SCH 727965 treatment in participants who experienced disease progression after standard treatment with the comparator drug during Part 1.

A study to evaluate the efficacy of lenalidomide as maintenance therapy after completion of first-line combination chemotherapy in patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who are not candidates for transplantation and have achieved partial response (PR) or complete response (CR). This study was prematurely terminated by the sponsor in light of new unpublished data that rendered the current design of the study no longer clinically relevant. A study design with the control arm of no active treatment was no longer appropriate. The termination of the trial was not based on any safety concerns in the study.

The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of a drug called LBH589 when given to people with recurrent or refractory Hodgkin or Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The safety of this drug will also be studied. The participants' physical state, changes in the size of the tumor, or state of Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and laboratory findings taken while on-study will help the researchers decide if LBH589 is safe and effective.

This phase II trial studies how well donor peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplant works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Cyclophosphamide when added to tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil is safe and effective in preventing severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in most patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing transplantation of bone marrow from half-matched (haploidentical) donors. This approach has extended the transplant option to patients who do not have matched related or unrelated donors, especially for patients from ethnic minority groups. The graft contains cells of the donor's immune system which potentially can recognize and destroy the patient's cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Rejection of the donor's cells by the patient's own immune system is prevented by giving low doses of chemotherapy (fludarabine phosphate and cyclophosphamide) and total-body irradiation before transplant. Patients can experience low blood cell counts after transplant. Using stem cells and immune cells collected from the donor's circulating blood may result in quicker recovery of blood counts and may be more effective in treating the patient's disease than using bone marrow.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the combination of bendamustine hydrochloride, mitoxantrone, and rituximab can help to control follicular lymphoma. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied.

This phase II trial is studying how well giving fludarabine and cyclophosphamide together with total-body irradiation and rituximab works in treating patients with B-cell lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia who are undergoing an allogeneic (donor) bone marrow transplant. The type of bone marrow transplant is a less intensive or "mini" transplant using a relative as the bone marrow donor. The donated bone marrow stem cells may replace the patient's immune system cells and help destroy any remaining cancer (graft-versus-tumor effect). Patients undergoing this type of transplant often have more than one relative who could be a donor. The trial is also studying a new way of choosing amongst possible donors which might improve how the rituximab works.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the treatment of Yt90 Zevalin in combination with CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone)are effective as first line treatment in patients with bulky stage II or stage III or IV diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

Phase I trial, dose escalating, prospective, open-label, non-randomized, multicenter study. The purpose is to determine the safety, tolerability, dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and recommended dose (RD) of PM00104, administered intravenously over 1 hour daily for 5 days every 3 weeks (this is considered as 1 cycle) to subjects with advanced malignant solid tumors or lymphoma.
