Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma"

This pilot, phase II trial studies the side effects of giving bortezomib together with combination chemotherapy and to see how well it works in treating young patients with relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. 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 bortezomib together with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells.

This is an open-label, Phase I, dose-escalation study using a 3 + 3 design to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of orally administered GDC-0941 administered QD. This study will include patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors, NHL, or multiple myeloma (MM) (expansion stage only) for which standard therapy either does not exist or has proven ineffective or intolerable.

The purpose of this study is to establish the safety and optimal dose of orally administered PCI-32765 in patients with recurrent B cell lymphoma.

The primary objective of the protocol is to estimate the complete response rate of three courses of the association of rituximab, navelbine, ifosfamide, mitoxantrone, and prednisone in relapsed aggressive non hodgkin's B-cell lymphoma

This 2 stage study will compare the pharmacokinetics and safety profile of subcutaneous and intravenous rituximab in participants with follicular lymphoma. In the first stage, participants who have achieved at least a partial response after induction treatment with intravenous rituximab will be randomized to one of 3 treatment cohorts, to receive rituximab 375 milligram per square meter (mg/m^2) intravenously, 375 mg/m^2 subcutaneously or 625 mg/m^2 subcutaneously, and pharmacokinetics evaluated on an ongoing basis. Upon selection of the subcutaneous dose (800 mg/m^2) which results in rituximab trough plasma concentration (C trough) values comparable to those achieved with the intravenous formulation, participants in the second stage of the study will be randomized to receive either the subcutaneous or intravenous formulation to demonstrate comparability of the C trough levels with both routes of administration. Maintenance therapy will continue every 2 or 3 months with the subcutaneous formulation.

Primary Research Question What are the rates of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in adult patients newly diagnosed with Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma (PTCL) who are treated with alemtuzumab given in combination with CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisolone) and ESHAP (etoposide, methylprednisolone, cisplatin, cytosine arabinoside) administered as an up-front treatment? Secondary Research Question What is the incidence of life-threatening toxicities (grade 3 and 4, according to WHO criteria, Appendix A) in the patients?

Background: The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Surgery Branch has developed an experimental therapy for treating patients with B cell lymphomas or leukemias that involves taking white blood cells from the patient, growing them in the laboratory in large numbers, genetically modifying these specific cells with a type of virus (retrovirus) to attack only the tumor cells, and then giving the cells back to the patient. This type of therapy is called gene transfer. In this protocol, we are modifying the patient s white blood cells with a retrovirus that has the gene for anti-cluster of differentiation 19 (CD19) incorporated in the retrovirus. Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine a safe number of these cells to infuse and to see if these particular tumor-fighting cells (anti-CD19 cells) cause tumors to shrink. Eligibility: - Adults age 18-70 with B cell lymphomas or leukemias expressing the CD19 molecule. Design: Work up stage: Patients will be seen as an outpatient at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) clinical Center and undergo a history and physical examination, scans, x-rays, lab tests, and other tests as needed Leukapheresis: If the patients meet all of the requirements for the study they will undergo leukapheresis to obtain white blood cells to make the anti-CD19 cells. Leukapheresis is a common procedure, which removes only the white blood cells from the patient. Treatment: Once their cells have grown, the patients will be admitted to the hospital for the conditioning chemotherapy and the anti-CD19 cells. They will stay in the hospital for about 4 weeks for the treatment. Follow up: Patients will return to the clinic for a physical exam, review of side effects, lab tests, and scans about every 1-3 months for the first year, and then every 6 months to 1 year as long as their tumors are shrinking. Follow up visits will take up to 2 days.

To evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetic profiles of KW-0761, the anti-CC chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) antibody, when administered weekly for 8 weeks as an intravenous infusion at a dose of 1.0 mg/kg in relapsed subjects with CCR4-positive adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog 1 (Akt) inhibitor MK2206 when given together with bendamustine hydrochloride and rituximab and to see how well they work in treating patients with refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma. Akt inhibitor MK2206 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bendamustine hydrochloride, 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. Giving Akt inhibitor MK2206 with bendamustine hydrochloride and rituximab may be an effective treatment for relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of AVL-292 as monotherapy in subjects with relapsed or refractory B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM).
