Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma"

In this study, MGCD0103, a new anticancer drug under investigation, is given three times weekly to patients with advanced solid tumors or Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate a CMV vaccine given to related donor/recipient pairs (donors prior to peripheral blood stem cell donation and CMV-seropositive recipients just before and after transplantation) and CMV-seropositive recipient-only subjects (related or unrelated) to determine incidence rates of CMV infection, disease, and other complications from immunosuppression and/or transplantation. The outcomes for the groups receiving CMV vaccine will be compared to the outcomes for the group that received the placebo vaccine to see if there is a clinical benefit. For this trial, donors and recipients must have matched HLA genotype (matched at 5/6 or 6/6 HLA loci).

This is a Phase I trial to look at safety and how a patient's body will tolerate the treatment at different dosages.

This phase II trial is studying how well etanercept works in treating young patients with idiopathic pneumonia syndrome after undergoing a donor stem cell transplant. Etanercept may be effective in treating patients with idiopathic pneumonia syndrome after undergoing a donor stem cell transplant.

This is a dose escalation study. Patients will be enrolled in cohorts of three patients each, and escalation of dose to the next cohort will be determined based on dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in the previous cohort. This study aims to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of intravenous L-NDDP. Once the MTD has been determined, an additional four patients will be enrolled at that dose level. While the MTD is determined based on safety data from each cohort's first cycle of L-NDDP therapy only, patients may continue treatment with additional cycles of L-NDDP at the same dose as their starting dose until documented progression, unacceptable toxicity, or another off study criterion is met. Patients who have not met any of the off study criteria and continue to receive L-NDDP therapy at the time when MTD is determined may be allowed to change L-NDDP dose to the MTD dose level. The study will also determine the pharmacokinetic profile of L-NDDP administration. Clinical activity of L-NDDP in solid tumor patients will be assessed as tumor response using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. Clinical activity of L-NDDP in B-cell lymphoma patients will be assessed using the International Working Group recommendations.

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy before a donor umbilical cord blood transplant helps stop both the growth of cancer cells and 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 chemotherapy, such as fludarabine and busulfan, and antithymocyte globulin before transplant and tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil after transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well giving low-dose fludarabine and busulfan together with anti-thymocyte globulin, followed by donor umbilical cord blood transplant works in treating patients with advanced hematologic cancer.

RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, and radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan, 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 without harming normal cells. Giving bortezomib together with rituximab and yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bortezomib when given together with rituximab and yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan in treating patients with relapsed or refractory low-grade, follicular, or mantle cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

RATIONALE: AT7519M may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of AT7519M in treating patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

This study is designed to provide evidence of the safety and a preliminary understanding of the efficacy of AME 133v.

Defects in the apoptotic process can lead to the onset of cancer by allowing cells to grow unchecked when an oncogenic signal is present. Obatoclax is designed to restore apoptosis through inhibition of the Bcl-2 family of proteins, thereby reinstating the natural process of cell death that is often inhibited in cancer cells. This is a multi-center, open-label, Phase II study of single-agent obatoclax administered in 2-week cycles as a 24-hour infusion every 2 weeks at a fixed dose of 60 mg to patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Infusions may be administered on an out-patient basis. No investigational or commercial agents or therapies other than those described in the protocol may be administered with the intent to treat the patient's malignancy. Supportive care measures including those directed at controlling symptoms resulting from Hodgkin's Lymphoma (blood products, growth factor, etc.) are allowed.
