Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma"

Part I evaluates the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of vorinostat in Japanese patients with relapsed or refractory CTCL. Part II evaluates the safety of vorinostat in Japanese pts. with relapsed or refractory CTCL. Relapsed or refractory CTCL patients will be newly enrolled in Part II.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of the drug (JNJ-24681585 a drug in development for cancer) in patients with advanced or refractory solid malignancies or lymphoma on the maximum dose that can be tolerated by these patients. The absorption, breakdown and elimination of the drug will be studied and in some patients, the effect of the food on these processes will also be examined.

This will be a multi-center, Phase I, dose-escalation study of bortezomib in combination with 131I-tositumomab in patients with relapsed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Bortezomib will be administered to patients twice weekly, with the first dose being given two days prior to the treatment dose of 131I-tositumomab, and the second dose two days after RIT for a total of 5 doses. Patients will be enrolled and undergo standard staging studies, including history, physical examination, complete blood count, serum chemistries and LDH, TSH, HAMA, iliac crest bone marrow biopsy, and CT scans of the chest, abdomen and pelvis. All patients will provide written informed consent. Bortezomib will be evaluated at 4 dose levels (0.30 mg/m2, 0.60 mg/m2, 0.90 mg/m2, and 1.2 mg/m2) and 131I-tositumomab at 2 dose levels (50 cGy and 75 cGy TBD). Bortezomib will be administrated the day prior to 131I-tositumomab and twice weekly thereafter for 4 doses in order to provide proteasome inhibition throughout the period of 131I-tositumomab activity. The intention is to use 131I-tositumomab at full dose if possible. Therefore, the 50cGy dose will be used only with the lowest dose of bortezomib in case of unexpected toxicities with the combination. Dose levels will be as follow: 0.30mg/m2 bortezomib and 50cGy 131I-tositumomab, 0.30 mg/m2 bortezomib and 75 cGy 131I-tositumomab, 0.60 mg/m2 bortezomib and 75 cGy 131I-tositumomab, 0.90 mg/m2 bortezomib and 75 cGy 131I-tositumomab, and 1.2 mg/m2 bortezomib and 75 cGy 131I-tositumomab.

A prospective pilot trial was proposed to patients with DLBCL, with IH or high adjusted IPI, up to the age of 60 y.o. This program consisted of 2 courses of high-dose R-CHOP-like regimen, followed by a course of high-dose methotrexate with cytarabin. For patients who achieved at least a PR, ASCT started with a BEAM regimen.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if chemotherapy given with rituximab, followed by Ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin), and then followed by rituximab can help to control lymphoma. The safety of this treatment schedule will also be studied. Objectives: To assess whether the time to progression for these high-risk patients can be prolonged to a median of 36 months, compared to the historical expectation of approximately 24 months. To assess the tolerance and efficacy of Y2B8 (Zevalin) after R-FND (rituximab, fludarabine, mitoxantrone, dexamethasone) in patients with high-risk stage III-IV follicular lymphoma To assess overall response, failure-free survival, and survival of this strategy compared to our historical experience with FND (fludarabine, mitoxantrone, dexamethasone) alone or R-FND To assess the tolerance and efficacy of maintenance therapy with rituximab. To maximize the 12-month molecular remission rate for patients with high-risk stage III-IV follicular lymphoma to correlate the results of quantitative PCR assay with classical PCR and with clinical outcome

To determine the activity of lenalidomide in relapsed or refractory aggressive NHL.

The aim of the study is to test [90]Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan, a radioactive antibody, in patients with stage III or IV follicular lymphoma whose disease is in partial or complete remission after first line chemotherapy. The radioactive antibody will be compared with no further treatment to see which is better in the long term after standard lymphoma treatment.

The purpose of this study is to determine the complete response rate when CHOP-R chemotherapy in followed by Zevalin in previous untreated patients with follicular lymphoma

Idarubicin combined with high dose methotrexate and moderate dose radiotherapy will achieve similar survival outcomes but with reduced neurotoxicity compared to regimens using methotrexate with high dose radiotherapy.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as liposomal doxorubicin and bexarotene, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Bexarotene may also cause cutaneous T-cell lymphoma cells to look more like normal cells, and to grow and spread more slowly. Giving liposomal doxorubicin followed by bexarotene may be an effective treatment for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving liposomal doxorubicin followed by bexarotene works in treating patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
