Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma"

90Y Ibritumomab tiuxetan (zevalin) has demonstrated consistently high response rates in patients who have received previous treatment for lymphoma. More than two-thirds of the patients who achieve CR go on to experience durable remissions lasting for years. Despite these highly promising clinical results with radioimmunotherapy (RIT) in relapsed follicular lymphoma there is very little data using RIT in previously untreated follicular lymphoma. The objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two fractions of Zevalin in patients with previously untreated follicular lymphoma in a Phase II study.

The purpose of this study is to determine the overall cutaneous response rate (participants who achieve a complete response or partial response) based on the modified severity weighted assessment tool criteria.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if researchers can successfully and safely give HSCT patients an infusion of white blood cells (called T-cells) that have been genetically changed. The process of changing the DNA (the genetic material in cells) of these T-cells is called "gene transfer." Researchers want to learn if these genetically-changed T-cells are effective in attacking cancer cells in patients with advanced B-cell lymphoma or leukemia, after they have received standard allogeneic HSCT. Researchers want to find out the highest dose of these special T-cells that can be given safely to leukemia and lymphoma patients. Researchers also want to learn how long the changed T-cells stay in your body, and if adding them to standard transplant can improve how you respond to treatment.

This study will be a pilot study of sorafenib 400mg PO twice daily in refractory T-cell lymphomas including peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy (AILD), cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) and other transformed T-cell lymphomas with the primary objective of studying the biological effects of the multikinase inhibitor, sorafenib.

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Others interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy also work in different ways to kill more cancer cells or stop them from growing. It is not yet known whether rituximab is more effective with combination chemotherapy or bendamustine hydrochloride in treating patients with mantle cell lymphoma undergoing peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial studies how well giving rituximab together with combination chemotherapy or bendamustine hydrochloride followed by consolidation chemotherapy and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation works in treating older patients with previously untreated mantle cell lymphoma.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate comparability of the ORR in patients with previously untreated, advanced stage FL who receive GP2013-treatment to patients who receive MabThera-treatment.

Subjects were randomized to receive either tositumomab (Anti-B1 Antibody) and iodine I 131 tositumomab (Arm A) or unlabeled tositumomab (Arm B). Subjects randomized to Arm B were allowed to cross over and receive I 131 tositumomab once their disease had progressed as long as they still fulfilled the protocol entry criteria (except for exclusion criterion 12, prior monoclonal antibody therapy) and were human anti-murine antibody (HAMA) negative. Study endpoint assessments of response were conducted by a Masked Independent Randomized Radiographic and Oncologic Review (MIRROR) panel and the Study Investigators' assessments of safety and survival. Subjects who completed at least two years of follow-up in Protocol BEX104515 (formerly Corixa Protocol RIT-II-002) were enrolled in long term follow-up Protocol BEX104526 (formerly Corixa Protocol CCBX001-051), an administrative protocol, for continued radiographic response evaluations and safety evaluations every 6 months for years 3 through 5 post-treatment and annually for years 6 through 10 post-treatment. Subjects in BEX104526 were assessed for survival, disease status, subsequent therapy for NHL, and long-term safety, including the use of thyroid medication, development of hypothyroidism, human anti murine antibody (HAMA), myelodysplastic syndrome, acute myelogenous leukemia, and all other secondary malignancies. Additionally, subjects were followed for the development of any adverse event(s) deemed by the Principal Investigator as being possibly or probably related to a subject's previous treatment with Iodine I-131 tositumomab. Laboratory evaluations consisting of a thyroid stimulating hormone level and a complete blood cell count, with a differential and platelet count, were obtained annually through year 10 post-treatment. Dosimetric Dose: Subjects received 450 mg of tositumomab IV followed by 5.0 mCi of Iodine I-131 and 35 mg of tositumomab. Following the dosimetric dose, whole body dosimetry was performed on each subject using a total body gamma camera. Whole body anterior and posterior whole body images were obtained at the following timepoints. Within one hour of infusion of the dosimetric dose and prior to urination 2-4 days after infusion of the dosimetric dose, following urination 6-7 days after infusion of the dosimetric dose, following urination Therapeutic Dose: The total body residence time, derived from total body gamma camera counts obtained at the 3 time points, was used to calculate the iodine-131 activity (mCi) to be administered to deliver the therapeutic total body irradiation dose of 65 or 75 cGy. The therapeutic step was administered 7-14 days after the dosimetric step and consisted of tositumomab 450 mg followed by an activity (mCi) of iodine-131 calculated to deliver 75 cGy or 65 cGy of total body irradiation, depending on platelet count, and 35 mg of tositumomab. For subjects with ≥150,000 platelets/mm3, the recommended dose was the activity of iodine-131 calculated to deliver 75 cGy of total body irradiation; for subjects with NCI Grade 1 thrombocytopenia (platelet counts ≥100,000 but <150,000 platelets/mm3), the recommended dose was the activity of iodine-131 calculated to deliver 65 cGy of total body irradiation.

The purpose is to test whether dose densified chemoimmunotherapy followed by central nervous system (CNS) prophylaxis for young high risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients is feasible and could improve time to treatment failure and reduce the risk of CNS relapses. Six courses of rituximab-cyclophosphamide-doxorubicin-etoposide-vincristine-prednison (R-CHOEP) given in two weeks intervals with the support of G-CSF is followed by one course of high dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) and high dose cytarabine (HD-Ara-C). The results will be compared to a historical Nordic study.

DS-3078a will be evaluated as a single agent in subjects with advanced solid tumor malignancies or lymphomas refractory to standard treatment or for which no standard treatment is available.

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of lenalidomide associated with CHOP as measured by complete response rate at the end of treatment. Approximately 80 patients aged between 60 and 80 years will be included, to have 70 evaluable patients. The treatment consists of two phases of four 3-weeks cycles: induction phase and consolidation phase, for a total treatment duration of 24 weeks. Each cycle will be broken down as follows: chemotherapy will be administered in the hospital on day 1, prednisone is continued for 5 days and lenalidomide is taken for 14 days. Patients will be followed for at least 18 months after inclusion of the last patient.
