Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma"

This phase II trial studies how well lenalidomide and rituximab work in treating patients with previously untreated stage II, stage III, or stage IV follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving lenalidomide together with rituximab may kill more cancer cells.

This phase II trial studies how well chemotherapy based on positron emission tomography (PET) scan works in treating patients with stage I or stage II Hodgkin lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells. Giving combination chemotherapy together with radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells and allow doctors to save the part of the body where the cancer started. Comparing results of diagnostic procedures, such as PET scan, done before, during, and after chemotherapy may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment.

This partially randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and the best dose of vorinostat when given together with combination chemotherapy and rituximab to see how well it works compared to combination chemotherapy alone in treating patients with human immunodeficiency virus-related diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma or other aggressive B-cell lymphomas. Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving vorinostat together with combination chemotherapy and rituximab may kill more cancer cells.

The purpose of this study is to establish the safety of orally administered PCI-32765 in combination with fludarabine/cyclophosphamide/rituximab (FCR) and bendamustine/rituximab (BR) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma(SLL).

This study will evaluate whether a reduction in the radiation dose and field size will maintain a high rate of local control while minimizing the risk of acute and late toxicity. Hypothesis- The radiation dose and treatment volume can be safely reduced from 30 Gy to 20 Gy while maintaining high rates of local control in patients who had a negative PET scan following rituximab-containing chemotherapy.

This is a phase I trial of the combination of bendamustine, rituximab and pixantrone in patients with relapsed/refractory B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. A standard 3+3 design will be used to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination. A static dose of bendamustine and rituximab will be used and the dose of pixantrone will be escalated in each cohort. Pixantrone will be dosed on a 21 day cycle at 55mg/m2, 85mg/m2, and 115mg/m2 in sequential cohorts dependent on acceptable toxicity profile at each dose level. MTD will be determined based on DLTs that occur during the first 2 cycles of the drug combination. Phase II did not proceed as planned due to withdrawal of pixantrone from the US.

This is an observational prospective cohort study design to evaluate the safety of rapid Rituximab infusion at 90 minutes for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) patients. The secondary aim is to measure the number of rejected chemotherapy administration on schedule. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients who tolerated well for at least 2 cycles of standard infusion of Rituximab without grade 3 or 4 adverse events will be recruited in the study. In this study, the first 20% of the total dose of rituximab will be administered over 30 minutes. When subjects tolerate the infusion and stable vital signs, the remaining 80% of the total dose will be administered over 60 minutes. Prior administration of Rituximab, premedication will be given to the subjects including PO Paracetamol 1g, IV Diphenhydramine 25/50mg and/or IV Hydrocortisone 100mg. The duration of subjects involvement in the study approximately takes 72 hours. Adverse events that occur within the first 24 hours of infusion will be evaluated if related to Rituximab infusion as some subjects are receiving combination chemotherapy with rituximab. This study will recruit both in patients and out-patients. A phone call to monitor subject's health will be made post 24, 48, 72 hours of rituximab infusion. The findings from this study will add evidence to the safety of rapid Rituximab infusion at 90 minutes. If the outcome is favourable, NUH will consider adopting the new infusion rate for Rituximab infusion for patients who tolerated at least 2 cycles of standard infusion recommended by the drug manufacturer. The study hypothesizes that rapid Rituximab infusion at 90 minutes is safe for NHL patients.

This is a phase II, multicenter study to determine the efficacy and safety of first-line lenalidomide plus rituximab therapy in patients with mantle cell lymphoma who have received no prior systemic therapy.

This is a phase 3, randomized, 2-arm, open-label, international trial evaluating alisertib compared with single-agent treatment, as selected by the investigator from the offered options of pralatrexate or gemcitabine or romidepsin, in participants with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). Note: romidepsin was not used as a single-agent comparator outside the United States of America (USA) as supply was not available.

This phase I/II trial studies the safety and toxicity of post-transplant treatment with donor T cells engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) targeting CD19 in patients who have had a matched related allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant for a CD19+ B cell malignancy.
