Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma"

This open-label, randomized study will assess the efficacy and safety of obinutuzumab (RO5072759) in combination with chemotherapy compared to rituximab (MabThera/Rituxan) with chemotherapy followed by obinutuzumab or rituximab maintenance in participants with untreated advanced indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. After the end of the induction period, participants achieving response (Complete response [CR] or partial response [PR]) will undergo a maintenance period continuing on the randomized antibody treatment alone every 2 months until disease progression for a total of 2 years. Anticipated time on study treatment is up to approximately 2.5 years. After maintenance or observation, participants will be followed for 5 years until progression. After progression, participants will be followed for new anti-lymphoma therapy and overall survival until the end of the study.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ibrutinib (PCI-32765) in relapsed/refractory de novo activated B-cell (ABC) and germinal-cell B-Cell (GCB) Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL).

This phase II trial studies how well combination chemotherapy and pralatrexate works in treating patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). 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

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety profile of brentuximab vedotin sequentially and in combination with multi-agent chemotherapy in front-line treatment for CD30-positive mature T-cell and NK-cell neoplasms, including systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma. It is a phase 1, open-label, dose escalation study in three arms designed to define the MTD, PK, immunogenicity, and anti-tumor activity of brentuximab vedotin in sequence and in combination with multi-agent front-line chemotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Pixantrone + Rituximab compared to Gemcitabine + Rituximab in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), or follicular grade 3 lymphoma.

This clinical trial is about testing GO-203-2c, which is a newly discovered compound that binds to an oncoprotein (a cancer causing protein) called MUC1 (which is over-expressed in many cancers). By binding to MUC1, GO-203-2c eventually causes tumor cell death in laboratory studies. This study is being done to: Test the safety of GO-203-2c and see what effects (good and bad) it has on you and your cancer Find the highest dose of GO-203-2c that can be given without causing bad side effects Examine how much GO-203-2c is in the blood at certain times after it is given and how quickly the body gets rid of it Observe whether there is any effect of GO-203-2c on the size and activity of cancer in your body

This study is an open label, multicenter study with two phases: A dose escalation phase of Romidepsin administered IV at day 1 and 8 or at day 1 without day 8 in combination with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone (CHOP)administered every 3 weeks for 8 cycles in patients with T-cell lymphoma. An expansion phase in order to assess the safety and the efficacy of the association of the recommended dose of Romidepsin associated with CHOP in a population of patients with T-cell lymphoma.

The primary objective of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CEP-9722 in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin in patients with advanced solid tumors or mantle cell lymphoma.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the commonest type of aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a type of cancer of a cell called a lymphocyte which makes up part of the immune system. Although most patients are cured with chemotherapy used as initial treatment, about 20-30% of patients still experience relapse. Curing relapsed disease is much less successful, even with the use of high doses of chemotherapy and stem cell transplant. There is then an urgent need for effective, new agents to treat patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who have relapsed or who have developed resistance to other forms of chemotherapy. This trial is using a drug called AZD1152 which interferes with the ability of a cancer cell to divide and grow. It has been used before in patients with other types of cancer, but never before in lymphoma patients. Responses in other cancers have been seen, particularly in leukaemia which is a disease related to lymphoma. The investigators are planning to use this agent in 15 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in which potentially curative treatments have failed. The main aim is to see whether the drug shows any activity in this type of lymphoma. This will be mainly assessed using CT and PET scans. The investigators are also investigating how well a blood test can predict both the response to the drug and the toxicity of the drug - this is called a biomarker study and forms part of the clinical trial. The other main aim of the study is to assess the toxicity of the treatment. Previous studies in humans suggest the drug is reasonably well tolerated, although side effects such as stomatitis (soreness of the mouth) and suppression of the bone marrow (leading to risk of infection and bleeding) have been seen.

This is a research study for subjects who have been diagnosed with Adult T cell Leukemia/Lymphoma, a rare and aggressive peripheral T cell neoplasm caused by the virus HTLV1. Currently, there is no accepted standard therapy for this disease. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the use of the investigational drug lenalidomide in the treatment of Adult T cell Leukemia/Lymphoma. Lenalidomide is a drug that alters the immune system and it may also interfere with the development of tiny blood vessels that help support tumor growth. Therefore, in theory, it may reduce or prevent the growth of cancer cells. Lenalidomide is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of specific types of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and in combination with dexamethasone for patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who have received at least 1 prior therapy. MDS and MM are cancers of the blood. It is currently being tested in a variety of cancer conditions. In this case it is considered experimental.
