Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma"

RATIONALE: 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 combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well combination chemotherapy works in treating young male patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma.

The phase I study will evaluate the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of LBH589B in adult patients with advanced solid tumors or Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma

RATIONALE: Giving low doses of chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. Also, monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can find cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving rituximab before transplant and cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil after transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving chemotherapy and radiation therapy together with rituximab and donor stem cell transplant works in treating patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy, such as fludarabine and busulfan, before a donor peripheral stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer or abnormal cells. It also helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving a monoclonal antibody, alemtuzumab, before the transplant and tacrolimus after the transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: The phase I portion of this trial identified the maximum tolerated dose of busulfan after treating 40 patients on a dose-escalation scheme. We are now treating an additional 26 patients on the phase II portion of the trial at a Pharmacokinetic (PK)-directed dose of total area under curve (AUC) 6912 micrometer (uM)-min/24 hours. We transitioned to the Phase II portion of the study in October 2009.

This is a phase II clinical trial in patients who have not received systemic treatment for follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The study combines rituximab, an approved drug for this disease, with AT-101, an experimental drug. The hypothesis is that by adding AT-101 to the rituximab regimen, improvement to patients' response to the treatment will be observed verses rituximab alone.

Cohort 1: Patients who are less than or equal to 65 years of age. 1. To determine the disease-free survival (DFS) in the 2 arms (standard dose versus high dose rituximab) Cohort 2: Patients who are older than 65 years of age To determine the disease-free survival (DFS) in the 2 arms (standard dose versus high dose rituximab) To determine the treatment related mortality (TRM)

Primary Objectives: To determine the efficacy of administering multiple doses of intravenous (i.v.) busulfan at a dose of 130 mg/m2, to yield a systemic plasma drug exposure represented by a daily area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of approximately 5,000 mMol-min for 4 days, followed by i.v. melphalan at a dose of 70 mg/m2 for 2 days in adult patients receiving autologous or allogeneic transplantation for lymphoid malignancies or myeloma. To describe the plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of busulfan and melphalan in this regimen. To determine the disease-free and overall survival of patients receiving this preparative regimen. To determine the treatment-related morbidity and mortality of this combination of drugs.

This single arm study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of MabThera maintenance therapy following a MabThera-containing induction regimen in first line or relapsed patients with follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. All patients will receive MabThera 375mg/m2 body surface area, as an intravenous infusion, every 8 weeks. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1-2 years, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.

Phase I study to define the safety profile and pharmacokinetic parameters of SGN-35 in patients with relapsed/refractory CD30-positive hematologic malignancies. This is a single-arm, open-label, Phase I dose escalation study designed to define the MTD, PK, immunogenicity and anti-tumor activity of SGN-35 in patients with relapsed/refractory CD30-positive hematologic malignancies.

This is a single-arm, open-label Phase II study evaluating the activity of Lenalidomide in patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma.
