Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma"

This is a double-blind (vis-a-vis lenvatinib), randomized, placebo-controlled, three-treatment, three-way crossover study in healthy subjects. There are two phases in this study: Pre-Randomization and Randomization. The Pre-Randomization Phase consists of Screening and Baseline Period 1. The Randomization Phase consists of five periods: Treatment Period 1, Baseline Period 2, Treatment Period 2, Baseline Period 3, and Treatment Period 3. Completion of study termination procedures will be performed at Visit 11.

RATIONALE: Growth factors, such as palifermin, may prevent chronic graft-versus-host disease caused by donor stem cell transplant. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial studies palifermin in preventing chronic graft-versus-host disease in patients who have undergone donor stem cell transplant for hematologic cancer

Open-label Phase 1 sequential dose-escalation study of 10 increasing doses (3 to 6 patients each)to determine and characterize the DLTs and MTD of gemcitabine HCl oral formulation (D07001-F4). Patients will be assigned to receive oral D07001-F4 on Days 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, and 12 of 4 21-day cycles each to further characterize safety and tolerability.

The purpose of this study is to establish a model which can predict the treatment outcome and the risk of treatment-related morbidity in patients with lymphoma.

RATIONALE: Visiting patients at home to teach them about self care after a stem cell transplant may be more effective than standard therapy in improving quality of life. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying home visits to see how well they work compared with standard therapy in treating patients undergoing donor stem cell transplant for hematologic cancer.

This is a multi-center, Phase I study of a new investigational drug, VTX-2337, that may stimulate the immune system to help fight cancer. The purpose of the study is to assess the safety of the investigational drug and to identify the highest dose that is well-tolerated. The pharmacology of VTX-2337 will also be evaluated.

RATIONALE: Giving low doses of chemotherapy, monoclonal antibodies, and radiation therapy before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem 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 tacrolimus, sirolimus, and antithymocyte globulin before and after transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving sirolimus together with tacrolimus and antithymocyte globulin and to see how well it works in preventing graft-versus-host disease in patients with hematologic cancer who are undergoing donor stem cell transplant.

RATIONALE: A Web site for stem cell transplant health information and support may be effective in helping parents improve their health-related knowledge, skills, and quality of life, which may also improve their children's quality of life. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying a Web-based stem cell transplant support system to see how well it works compared with standard care in families of young patients undergoing a stem cell transplant.

Cytogenetic Analysis of Bone Marrow Specimen Prior to High Dose Chemotherapy and Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma or Hodgkin's Disease

RATIONALE: Sirolimus, tacrolimus, and methotrexate may be effective in preventing acute graft-versus-host disease in patients who are undergoing donor stem cell transplantation. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of sirolimus when given together with tacrolimus and methotrexate and to see how well they work in preventing acute graft-versus-host disease in patients who are undergoing donor stem cell transplantation for hematologic cancer.
