Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma"

This phase I trial is studying the side effects, best way to give, and best dose of Akt inhibitor MK2206 (MK2206) in treating patients with recurrent or refractory solid tumors or leukemia. MK2206 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

The study was set up to assess the efficacy and tolerability of a chemotherapy-immunotherapy combination programme originally introduced by GMALL (the German cooperative group for adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia)in 2002, to improve remission rate, overall and disease-free survival rates of adult patients with Burkitt's leukemia and lymphoma. The therapy includes a maximum of six chemotherapy courses (two with high doses of methotrexate and cytarabine) plus anti-CD20 antibody (Rituximab, up to 8 total doses), supplemented by local radiation therapy in the case of initial mediastinal or central nervous system (CNS) involvement or a residual tumor after chemotherapy.

RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, 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. Giving bortezomib together with rituximab may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving bortezomib and rituximab together works in treating patients with mantle cell lymphoma who have previously undergone stem cell transplantation

RATIONALE: Imetelstat sodium may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase I clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of imetelstat sodium in treating young patients with refractory or recurrent solid tumors or lymphoma.

This Phase II, single-arm, open-label, multicenter trial is designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of PRO95780 when combined with rituximab in patients with follicular, CD20-positive B-cell NHL that has progressed following previous rituximab therapy.

Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) are used for transplantation in patients undergoing high dose therapy for the treatment of a range of cancers. HSPC are collected from the bloodstream after treatment with medications that cause the HSPC to move from the bone marrow into the bloodstream, a process called mobilization between 5 and 60% of patients can fail to collect enough HSPC for a transplant, using current mobilization techniques this study aims to assess the safety of combining a derivative of vitamin A, ATRA with G-CSF (the drug most commonly used to mobilize HSPC) ATRA has never been combined with G-CSF for mobilization of HSPC and therefore a study is needed to assess the safety of this combination, and whether it successfully mobilizes HSPC

This phase II trial is studying how well sunitinib works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse or mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma. Sunitinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the cancer.

Multicenter, open-label study of NPI-0052 in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies or refractory lymphoma whose disease had progressed after treatment with standard, approved therapies that included 2 stages. The initial stage involved dose escalation to an MTD and determination of a recommended Phase 2 dose. The second stage comprised an expansion cohort at the recommended Phase 2 dose.

The primary purpose of this study is to help answer the following research questions: To assess whether Enzastaurin combined with rituximab, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (R-GEMOX) can help participants with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) remain free from disease and thus live longer. To assess for any side effects that might be associated with enzastaurin and R-GEMOX . To look at the characteristics and levels of certain genes and proteins to learn more about DLBCL and how enzastaurin works in the body. To look at the level of enzastaurin in the body and how long it remains.

This phase II trial is studying how well giving rituximab together with combination chemotherapy and bortezomib works in treating patients with untreated mantle cell lymphoma. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, 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. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or stopping them from dividing. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving rituximab together with combination chemotherapy and bortezomib may kill more cancer cells. Treatment consists of six agents: bortezomib (Vc), rituximab (R), cyclophosphamide (C), vincristine (V), doxorubicin (A), and dexamethasone (D) (VcR-CVAD).
