Radiolabeled Monoclonal Antibody Therapy and High-Dose Chemotherapy Followed By Autologous Peripheral...
LymphomaRATIONALE: Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies such as yttrium Y90 ibritumomab tiuxetan can locate cancer cells and deliver radioactive cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining yttrium Y90 ibritumomab tiuxetan and chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplant may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying how well giving yttrium Y90 ibritumomab tiuxetan with high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant work in treating patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Stem Cell Transplantation With or Without Rituximab in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Progressive...
LymphomaRATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. It is not yet known whether stem cell transplantation is more effective with or without rituximab in treating relapsed or progressive B-cell diffuse large cell lymphoma. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of stem cell transplantation with or without rituximab in treating patients who have relapsed or progressive B-cell diffuse large cell lymphoma.
Combination Chemotherapy Followed By Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Aggressive Non-Hodgkin's...
LymphomaRATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug and giving the drugs in different ways may kill more cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage cancer cells. It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen followed by radiation therapy is more effective in treating aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying two combination chemotherapy regimens followed by radiation therapy to compare how well they work in treating patients with aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Breast CancerLeukemia7 moreRATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage cancer cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation or autologous bone marrow transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well eight different high-dose chemotherapy regimens with or without total-body irradiation followed by autologous stem cell transplantation or autologous bone marrow transplantation works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies or solid tumors.

A Phase III Randomized Trial of Low-Dose Versus Standard-Dose mBACOD Chemotherapy With rGM-CSF for...
LymphomaNon-Hodgkin1 moreTo determine the impact of dose intensity on tumor response and survival in patients with HIV-associated non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). HIV-infected patients are at increased risk for developing intermediate and high-grade NHL. While combination chemotherapy for aggressive B-cell NHL in the absence of immunodeficiency is highly effective, the outcome of therapy for patients with AIDS-associated NHL has been disappointing. Treatment is frequently complicated by the occurrence of multiple opportunistic infections, as well as the presence of poor bone marrow reserve, making the administration of standard doses of chemotherapy difficult. A recent study was completed using a low-dose modification of the standard mBACOD (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, bleomycin, dexamethasone, methotrexate ) treatment. A 46 percent response rate was observed in patients treated with this combination of chemotherapeutic agents, with a number of durable remissions and reduced toxicity when compared to previous experience with more standard treatments. A subsequent study showed similar effectiveness using a lower dose of methotrexate administered on day 15. It is hoped that the use of sargramostim (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor; GM-CSF) will improve bone marrow function and allow for administration of a higher dose of chemotherapy.
A Study to Learn More About Copanlisib Treatment Patterns in People With Indolent Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma,...
Relapsed or Refractory Indolent Non-Hodgkin LymphomaThis is an observational study, in which data from Taiwanese people with indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma who will be receiving copanlisib is studied. Indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL) is a type of cancer that grows and spread slowly and begins in the lymphatic system, which is a part of body's immune system, and affects a type of white blood cells called lymphocytes of. In iNHL, white blood cells grow abnormally and can form growths (tumors) throughout the body. iNHL tends to come back after treatment (relapse) and may stop to respond to medical treatment (become refractory). While the disease is typically slow growing, it can become more aggressive over time. iNHL consists of multiple subtypes and it is already known to the researchers that Taiwanese people often have a different subtype of iNHL and poorer survival than people in most Western countries. Moreover, there is little information about how well the drug copanlisib works in Asian people with iNHL. The study drug copanlisib works by blocking PI3K proteins and preventing cancer cells from growing and surviving. Copanlisib is already available in US and in Taiwan and is approved for doctors to prescribe to patients. The National Authority for Health in Taiwan granted an accelerated approval of copanlisib due to the new mechanism of action of this drug and based on the results of a previous study, in which participants with iNHL received treatment with copanlisib. This previous study, however, included only a small number of Asian people and no Taiwanese people at all. The main purpose of this study is to learn more about treatment patterns of copanlisib from Taiwanese people who have decided with their doctor to start copanlisib for iNHL. To do this, researchers will collect the following data: administered doses of copanlisib dates of treatment administration how long copanlisib treatment was given the number of treatment periods also called cycles (one cycle is defined as 3 intravenous treatments in 3 of 4 weeks) dates and reasons of copanlisib treatment interruption dates and reasons of copanlisib treatment discontinuations. In addition, researchers will also look at how well copanlisib works in these people. There are no required visits to the study site. The participants will receive their treatments as agreed with their doctors. The data will be gathered from the medical charts of the participants with iNHL who will receive copanlisib or received at least one dose of copanlisib after 01-Nov-2019. The data collection will cover the time between the date with the first diagnosis of iNHL and 01-May-2024 or earlier if the data collection of maximal 50 participants is completed before 01-May-2024.
