Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma"

A Phase I/II clinical trial using a fractionated dosing regimen of 90Y-epratuzumab (anti-CD22) has showed encouraging responses in follicular and aggressive NHL with an ability to administer safely 2 injections of 20 mCi/m2 spaced 1 week apart. The investigators propose to combine this active 90Y-epratuzumab treatment with a regimen of veltuzumab that was also found active in Phase I/II trials. The goal of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of 90Y-epratuzumab when used in combination with veltuzumab. The primary objective is to determine the response rate of this combination treatment. Secondary objectives are to assess safety, pharmacokinetics and targeting of 90Y-epratuzumab . Veltuzumab blood levels and anti-antibody responses will also be monitored at various times.

This research is being done to learn more about reduced-intensity bone marrow transplantation (BMT), also known as a "mini" transplant for patients with blood cancers, using bone marrow from a relative. The main goal of the study is to determine how quickly the donor's bone marrow "takes" in your body. Other goals include describing how many people accept the bone marrow and how quickly the blood counts come up; describing Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and other complications; and describing how many people survive without progressive cancer and survive overall

A standard therapy is neither established in first-line patients nor in relapsed patients with PTCL, and there is still an unmet medical need to identify novel efficacious and safe therapy regimens. The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential of a Lenalidomide plus Vorinostat and Dexamethasone combination therapy as an effective and safe therapeutic regimen, in the treatment of relapsed PTCL following failure of prior regimens.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of iodine I 131 monoclonal antibody BC8 when given before autologous stem cell transplant in treating patients with Hodgkin lymphoma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned after a period of improvement or does not respond to treatment. Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as iodine I 131 monoclonal antibody BC8, can find cancer cells and carry cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Giving iodine I 131 monoclonal antibody BC8 before an autologous stem cell transplant may kill more cancer cells.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and safety of different doses of intravenous and oral Forodesine in children with relapsed or refractory T-cell or B-cell precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia or T-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Preliminary efficacy will also be assessed.

Combined modality therapy has then emerged as the standard of care for limited-stage Hodgkin's lymphoma and doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD) chemotherapy that is devoid of alkylating agents and associated with a low potential for gonadal toxicity and leukemogenesis, is currently considered a gold standard. Nevertheless, the disadvantage to combine radiotherapy to ABVD is represented by late cardiovascular events (myocardial dysfunction and coronary or valvular disease), especially when the heart is within the radiation field; bleomycin pulmonary toxicity also is increased in conjunction with RT and secondary tumors, in particular in the RT fields. This study aims at treating patients with limited disease with multiagent chemotherapy alone, without irradiation, and using radiotherapy only for relapses.

Clinical Hypothesis: It is expected that by removing chemotherapy and adding ancestim to the mobilization scheme in most of the subjects sufficient PBPC will be harvested with a minimum of toxicity and side effects.

Phase II, multi-centric, open-label, study. Disseminated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in patients older than 60: evaluation of fractionated radio-immunotherapy with 90Y-DOTA-hLL2 as a consolidation therapy after first line of chemotherapy.

Despite of the availability of treatment for this disease, this study is justified because no known therapies are really curative and it is necessary to look for new treatment options to improve the clinical outcome and prognosis of relapsed aggressive lymphoma. This study is designed for patients not eligible for high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cells transplantation.

This is a Phase II, open label, fixed dose, repeat injection, single institution study. Eligible subjects will receive up to six doses of Ad-ISF35 injected directly into a selected lymph node under ultrasound guidance. The primary goal is to determine and monitor clinical and biological responses in patients treated with repeat intranodal injections of Ad-ISF35.
