Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma"

RATIONALE: Biological therapies, such as a dendritic cell vaccine made with a patient's cancer cells, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of dendritic cell vaccine and to see how well it works in treating patients with indolent B-cell lymphoma or multiple myeloma.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the complete response (CR) rate after Intensified 1st cycle Rituximab plus 3rd cycles of R-CHOP in DLBCL

The purpose of this study is to determine whether pralatrexate, given with vitamin B12 and folic acid, is effective in the treatment of relapsed or refractory B-cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). The study will also investigate the safety of pralatrexate with vitamin B12 and folic acid in this participant population. Additionally, this study includes the collection of blood samples to investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of pralatrexate in this participant population (PK is the activity of a drug in the body over a period of time, including how the drug is absorbed, distributed in the body, localized in the tissues, and excreted from the body).

The purpose of this study is to determine whether intravenous Bortezomib combined with oral Panobinostat (LBH589) are effective in treating adult patients with relapsed/refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma or NK/T-cell lymphoma after the failure of conventional chemotherapy.

RATIONALE: 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, vincristine sulfate, prednisone, and liposome-encapsulated doxorubicin citrate, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether rituximab and combination chemotherapy are more effective when given together with or without liposome-encapsulated doxorubicin citrate in treating older patients with diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving rituximab together with cyclophosphamide, vincristine sulfate, and prednisone with or without liposome-encapsulated doxorubicin citrate and to see how well it works in treating older patients with stage II, stage III, or stage IV diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

This trial is comparing whether using a drug called sirolimus for graft versus host disease (GVHD) prevention can decrease the chance of the participant's lymphoma relapsing after transplantation, compared to using a standard GVHD prevention regimen without sirolimus. Since mTOR inhibitors have anti-lymphoma activity, their use after transplantation may lead to a decreased risk of relapse and hence better transplantation outcome.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of vorinostat when given together with fludarabine phosphate, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab and to see how well they work in treating patients with previously untreated B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may block cancer growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Giving vorinostat together with fludarabine phosphate, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab may be a better treatment for CLL or SLL.

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of gossypol when given together with paclitaxel and carboplatin in treating patients with solid tumors that are metastatic or cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gossypol, paclitaxel, and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving gossypol together with paclitaxel and carboplatin may kill more tumor cells

This study will determine the maximum dose of KW-0761 administered intravenously that can be given safely in subjects with previously treated peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) or cutaneous T-cell lymphoma(CTCL)and will see if it is effective in treating the disease.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with Bismuth can reduce the toxicity of chemotherapy and radiotherapy in patients with malignant diseases of the blood.
