Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma"

Primary objective: To determine the safety of adback T- or Natural Killer (NK) cells in patients with lymphoid malignancies receiving allogeneic stem cell transplantation with Campath-IH containing conditioning regimen. Secondary objective: To determine the efficacy (disease-free-survival) of this strategy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate: whether an imaging test called a PET (Positron emission tomography) scan performed after two cycles of standard chemotherapy is able to identify patients who have a high cure rate after completing standard chemotherapy alone; and whether high dose chemotherapy (HDCT) and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) when used in combination with an antibody called Rituximab results in high cure rates for those patients predicted to do poorly with standard chemotherapy by the PET scan.

The primary objectives of this Phase 1b/2 study were as follows: Phase 1b (Bolus and Infusion): To evaluate the safety and tolerability of carfilzomib in patients with relapsed solid tumors and in patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma and in patients with refractory lymphoma. Phase 2 (Bolus): To evaluate the overall response rate (ORR) after 4 cycles of carfilzomib in patients with relapsed solid tumors.

This is a continuation of a pilot study which is now regarded as a phase II trial with a plan to enroll an additional 40 patients (20 related and 20 unrelated donor transplants) with hematological malignancy assessing the safety and efficacy of a minimally myelosuppressive regimen with pentostatin and low-dose total body irradiation (TBI) followed by allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (alloPSCT).

This is a compassionate use protocol for participants who failed induction chemotherapy + Vaccine on previous trials. These participants then went on to high dose BEAM chemotherapy and transplant, then received idiotype vaccine therapy at 3 months post transplant. Vaccine was given monthly x 4 series, with a fifth series given 12 weeks after the fourth. Participants were then followed annually until progression or death with standard staging.

RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone, ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. 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. It is not yet known whether giving bortezomib together with combination chemotherapy is more effective with or without rituximab in treating AIDS-related non-Hodgkin lymphoma. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying giving bortezomib together with dexamethasone, ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide to see how well it works with or without rituximab in treating patients with relapsed or refractory AIDS-related non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

This study is being done to assess the safety and tolerance of different doses of humanized hA20 in patients with NHL.

This is a multicenter study to assess the anti-tumour activity,to investigate the safety profile and to obtain additional pharmacokinetic information for Aplidin® given as 1-hour weekly IV infusion in patients with aggressive non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

A bone marrow transplant, which is a type of stem cell transplant, is a treatment option for people with leukemia or lymphoma. Recently, stem cell transplants using umbilical cord blood have become a treatment option for people with these types of cancers. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a stem cell transplant using umbilical cord blood, along with lower doses of chemotherapy, to treat people with leukemia or lymphoma.

A phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination bendamustine and rituximab in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. It is hypothesized that the BR combination will produce at least a 70% overall response rate.
