Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma"

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan 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. A peripheral stem cell transplant may be able to replace blood-forming cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy. Giving white blood cells, that have been treated in the laboratory with antibodies, may make the transplant work better. Giving combination chemotherapy followed by an autologous stem cell transplant, and white blood cell infusions may be an effective treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of white blood cell infusions when given together with combination chemotherapy, and autologous stem cell transplant in treating patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that has relapsed, is refractory, or is in remission.

This is a Phase I dose escalation study of PXD101 administered orally. Oral belinostat will be given once or twice daily at various dosing schedules to patients with solid tumors. Doses will be escalated until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is identified. In parallel, a cohort of lymphoma patients will be given oral belinostat on a discontinuous once daily dosing schedule.

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as epratuzumab and 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, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving monoclonal antibody therapy together with chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells.> PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving monoclonal antibody therapy together with combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with stage II, stage III, or stage IV diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

The study evaluates the additional use of radioimmunotherapy with a 90-Yttrium labeled monoclonal antibody targeting lymphoma cells in two dose reduced conditioning regimens for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation from human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical donors. Radioimmunotherapy should allow an increased anti-lymphoma effect of the conditioning while the allogeneic grafts may confer potent graft versus lymphoma effects and rescue from potential hematopoietic side effects of the radioimmunotherapy. The study evaluates the feasibility and toxicity of such approach and will also analyze disease response and survival of the patients treated.

This is a pilot study evaluating tumor activity using Positron Emission Tomography, which is also known as a "PET scan". This study will assess the safety of using PD-0332991 in patients with mantle cell lymphoma.

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. Giving rituximab intrathecally may be an effective treatment for recurrent CNS lymphoma. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of intrathecal rituximab in treating patients with recurrent CNS lymphoma.

The study of safety of a new organic arsenic compound in the treatment of hematological malignancies.

This will be an open label, multiple center, non-randomized, dose-escalation Phase I/II trial, designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a repeated, outpatient regimen utilizing IMMU-hLL2 intact monoclonal antibody IgG labeled with different doses of 90Y for the treatment of patients B-cell lymphoma (NHL).

To evaluate the antitumor activity, as measured by tumor response rate, of enzastaurin in participants with Follicular Lymphoma (FL).

This is a phase I trial to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of clofarabine in a combination with high-dose etoposide and cyclophosphamide. This is an initial step in developing a novel myeloablative preparative regimen for autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT). While this phase I trial will initially develop the regimen in patients with refractory disease, it is expected that it will find its best application in patients with less advanced disease.
