Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma"

SUMMARY: This is a multi-center open label study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Treanda™ (also known as bendamustine HCl or SDX-105) in patients who have indolent Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and have relapsed within a defined timeframe after taking rituximab (Rituxan®). Treanda will be given via 60-minute intravenous infusion on days 1 and 2 of every 21-day treatment cycle. Patients will be treated for 6 cycles unless they develop progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity. Those who continue to receive clinical benefit at end of 6 cycles may receive an additional 2 cycles. Following the end of treatment, patients will be followed for up to 2 years until disease progression or start of another anti-cancer therapy.

With the success of current chemotherapy for Hodgkin's disease, the goal of this protocol is to maintain the currently successful cure rate and reduce treatment related side effects and long term toxicity. The main purpose of this study is to estimate the event free survival of patients treated with risk-adapted therapy compared to historical controls.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a less-intensive preparative therapy followed by an allogeneic peripheral stem cell transplantation will provide an effective treatment for your disease and whether it will be associated with fewer side effects.

The objectives of this study are to assess the feasibility and efficacy of a combination chemotherapy (PVAG) in elderly patients with advanced stages Hodgkin's lymphoma.

This study aims to assess the short term efficacy of a combination of rituximab and low-dose radiotherapy in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of induction therapy R-ICE in comparison to R-DHAP after 3 cycles adjusted to successful mobilization of stem cells in patients with previously treated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma CD20. The goal is to detect a difference in mobilization adjusted response rate of 15% between R-ICE and R-DHAP. The other objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MabThera maintenance therapy after transplantation as measured by the event free survival. The goal is to obtain a 15% increase of event free survival at 2 years.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of Zevalin-BEAM preparative regimen before autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) as measured by the event free survival (EFS). The goal is to obtain a 15% increase of EFS at 2 years.

Patients with stage I and II low grade follicular lymphoma are randomised between standard therapy (involved field radiotherapy) and investigational therapy (involved field radiotherapy and chemotherapy plus rituximab). The main endpoint is progression free survival but overall survival and the influence of t(14;18) status will also be studied.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether combining a short course of chemotherapy (Fludarabine, Mitoxantrone and Rituximab) followed by Zevalin will be effective in treating relapsed mantle cell lymphoma. The secondary purposes of the study are to determine the safety and to evaluate whether there is additional benefit from Zevalin therapy following the chemotherapy.

This phase II trial is studying how well giving CCI-779 together with rituximab works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as CCI-779, 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, 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 CCI-779 together with rituximab may kill more cancer cells
