Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma"

This open-label, randomized, parallel group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of obinutuzumab in combination with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone or prednisone (CHOP) chemotherapy versus rituximab (MabThera/Rituxan) with CHOP in previously untreated participants with cluster of differentiation 20 (CD20)-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Participants will be randomized to receive either obinutuzumab 1000 milligrams (mg) intravenously (IV) every 21 days or rituximab 375 milligrams per square meter (mg/m^2) IV every 21 days for 8 cycles, in addition to 6-8 cycles of CHOP chemotherapy IV every 21 days. Participants randomized to the obinutuzumab arm will receive an additional two doses on Days 8 and 15 of Cycle 1. Anticipated time on study treatment is 24 weeks.

This study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of VTX-2337 (an investigational drug that stimulates the immune system) in combination with radiation therapy in treating patients with low-grade B-cell lymphoma. Patients will receive 2 low doses of radiotherapy, and 9 intratumoral injections of VTX-2337 over the course of 3 months.

This is a research study involving the treatment of patients with hematological cancers with allogeneic (cells from a donor) hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). HSCT is often referred to as bone marrow transplant. Patients who are not expected to have long term survival after conventional therapy will undergo HSCT as a curative therapy after receiving front line therapy for their disease. This project is based on an HSCT approach that has been used at TJU since 2006 with the goal of optimizing this type of treatment further. In this new study, the investigators will substitute the chemotherapy agent, Melphalan (Mel), for cyclophosphamide (CY). Cyclophosphamide was used in the original trial. The research question is whether side effects are less using Mel and if donor T cells can be made tolerant to the recipient with the use of Mel. The proposed study is also more specific in terms of performance status and organ function entry criterion. The investigators observed in the original trial that patients with poor performance upon admission for transplant did not have as good outcomes. Because many older patients are treated according to this type of transplant, the chemotherapy and radiation used are less intensive than other types of transplant. The name for this in the transplant field is a reduced intensity hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The abbreviations most used in this document are RIC for reduced intensity conditioning, HSCT which refers to the transplant itself, and MEL which refers to the drug, Melphalan.

Patients with a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, called follicular lymphoma and have not yet had previous systemic treatment, such as chemotherapy or immunotherapy will be invited to participate. This research study is being conducted in order to evaluate the combination of lowdose methotrexate and Iodine I 131 tositumomab (Bexxar) with regards to whether the combination will reduce the occurrence of the HAMA (Human Anti-Mouse Antibody) response. HAMA is an immune reaction against the tositumomab protein. Symptoms arising from HAMA can range from a mild form, like a rash, to a more extreme and possibly life-threatening level. HAMA can also decrease the effectiveness of the treatment, or create a future reaction if a patient is given another treatment containing mouse antibodies. In addition to evaluating the occurrence of HAMA, this research study will also look at the short and long-term effectiveness of this combination in the treatment of lymphoma, as well as its safety.

This pilot phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best of dose ipilimumab when given together with local radiation therapy and to see how well it works in treating patients with recurrent melanoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, colon, or rectal cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, 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. Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays to kill cancer cells. Giving monoclonal antibody therapy together with radiation therapy may be an effective treatment for melanoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, colon, or rectal cancer

Nestle Impact has shown efficacy in multiple surgical trials in relation to improving hospital length of stay and infection rate. 1 dose of Nestle Impact Advanced Recovery will be taken orally three times a day beginning on the morning following stem cell transplant and will continue until the day of hospital discharge.

The investigators want to learn about treating relapsed/refractory lymphoblastic leukemia and lymphoma with a drug called sirolimus. The investigators are using sirolimus along with other cancer drugs that are often given to patients with relapsed leukemia and lymphoma. The main purpose of this study is to determine if sirolimus can be given safely in combination with standard drugs used to treat relapsed lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma.

The goal of Part 1 of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of carfilzomib that can be given in combination with lenalidomide and rituximab to patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-hodgkin lymphoma. The goal of Part 2 of this study is to learn if the drug combination can help to control B-cell non-hodgkin lymphoma. The safety of this drug combination will be studied in both parts. Carfilzomib is designed to keep cancer cells from repairing themselves. If the cancer cells cannot repair themselves, this may cause them to die. Lenalidomide is designed to change the body's immune system. It may also interfere with the development of tiny blood vessels that help support tumor growth. This may decrease the growth of cancer cells. Rituximab is designed to attach to cancer cells and damage them, which may cause the cancer cells to die. It is also designed to cause the immune system to attack cancer cells.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well lenalidomide improves immune response to pneumococcal 13-valent conjugate vaccine in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, small lymphocytic lymphoma, or monoclonal B cell lymphocytosis. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, use substances made from living organisms that may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Lenalidomide may also improve the effectiveness of pneumococcal 13-valent conjugate vaccine that is used to prevent infection.

This phase 2 study was designed to assess the efficacy and safety of DPX-Survivac plus low dose cyclophosphamide in up to 24 subjects with recurrent diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who are not eligible for transplant. However, with the evolving field of immunotherapy Immunovaccine has begun to focus on combination therapies, combining DPX-Survivac treatment with checkpoint inhibitors and other immune modulators. This phase 2 study was therefore terminated with fewer subjects than planned to allow the progress of other studies, such as NCT03349450.
