Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma"

This study will use genomics-based technology, such as DNA microarrays, to more precisely diagnose subsets of lymphoma, leukemia and multiple myeloma patients. There have been many attempts to classify lymphoid cancers in ways that will be useful for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Although broad diagnostic categories have been reliably defined, patients within each category have distinct clinical courses, suggesting that these classifications could be further divided into molecular (genetic) subtypes. For example, 40 percent of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma achieve long-term disease remissions following combination chemotherapy and are apparently cured, whereas the remaining 60 percent die from the disease. Similarly, some patients with follicular lymphoma develop aggressive disease within a few years of diagnosis, while others have stable disease over 10 to 20 years. Although the distinctions in clinical course of these diseases are recognized, there are no studies to determine the molecular (genetic) basis for this variability. This study will try to define new molecular diagnostic categories in these diseases and correlate them with clinical features, including treatment response, disease remission and overall survival following chemotherapy. This retrospective study will use clinical data and tissue samples from participating centers in the Lymphoma/Leukemia Molecular Profiling Project LLMPP). New patients will not be recruited for this study. Biopsy materials, including fresh frozen or OTC-embedded lymphoma biopsy material, viably frozen samples of peripheral blood cells from leukemia patients, and viably frozen samples of bone marrow aspirates from multiple myeloma patients will be collected from pathologists participating in the LLMPP. RNA and genomic DNA will be extracted from the tumor samples. A variety of technologies will be used to characterize the genome of the cancer cells, including lymphochip microarrays for array-based comparative genomic hybridization; Southern blotting and PCR for translocation of genes previously implicated in these malignancies; and PCR and DNA sequencing methods for analyzing base changes in the genome of the cancer cells. Clinical information from the initial diagnosis to disease relapse will be taken from existing databases and/or patient charts. Gene expression will be correlated with the clinical data. If a small number of genes is found to strongly predict clinical outcome, quantitative RT-PCR assays using the Taqman technology may be developed as an alternative to DNA microarray analysis.

The purpose of this program is to provide investigational epcoritamab, an antibody also known as GEN3013 (DuoBody-CD3xCD20), in an expanded access setting for eligible patients with relapsed and/or refractory (R/R) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) who have a high unmet medical need with no other treatment options. It is a requirement that patients do not qualify for an ongoing epcoritamab clinical program or are unable to participate due to logistical reasons. Access to investigational epcoritamab can be requested by contacting preapprovalaccessprograms@genmab.com.

A retrospective, non-interventional cohort study was used to address the study objectives. This study aimed to provide a better understanding of real-world healthcare resource utilization (HRU) and healthcare reimbursement costs associated with chimeric antigen receptor modified T cell (CAR-T) therapy among patients with DLBCL.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if radiation and chemotherapy treatment cause cardiac abnormalities among survivors of Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Investigation of application possibilities of optical spectroscopy within the field of surgical resection procedures to spare nerve tissue. Optical spectroscopy enables the possibility to specifically differentiate between different (human) tissues. The hypothesis is that incorporation of this technique into existing medical devices (e.g. medical blade) would enlarge the accuracy and reliability of these devices. Sparing of nerve bundles during surgery can lead to decreased postoperative morbidity rates.

This study aims at describing survival rates over time (Kaplan-Meier estimator) in patients suffering from AIDS-related primary central nervous system lymphoma who were diagnosed from 1996 to 2014 and treated with infusions of high-dose methotrexate and combined antiretroviral therapy.

Introduction High dose chemotherapy followed by Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (ASCT) is a therapeutic option in follicular Lymphoma after first line treatment failure. The clinical characteristics and outcome of FL patients who relapsed after HDT+ASCT and therapeutic management in the rituximab era are not well known and may represent a difficult challenge. Patients and Methods: The investigators conducted a retrospective analysis of FL patients who relapsed after HDT+ASCT in four French centers treated between 2000 and 2014. Clinical records were reviewed for clinical characteristics and treatment strategy at relapse. The investigators aimed to identify prognostic factors related to patient's outcome.

This study is to investigate the prognostic significance of enhanced International Prognostic Index (NCCN-IPI) and post-treatment PET results in patients with newly diagnosed nodal peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), and establish a risk stratification model for nodal PTCL patients.

This retrospective observational cohort study aims to describe the impact of COVID-19 in patients treated with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) for malignant disease in terms of risk factors, morbidity, need for supportive care and mortality. All patients treated with ASCT in Sweden from 1st January 2020 until 31st December 2020 are eligible for this study. Patients who also has tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 from start of conditioning or later will be identified through the national registry of the Public Health Agency of Sweden and a systematic analysis of their medical records will be performed.

This retrospective study aimed to investigate the combined prognostic values of intratumoral metabolic heterogeneity (MH), disseminate feature (Dmax) and total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV) by 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ([18F]FDG PET/CT), and establish novel nomograms to improve prognosis prediction in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)
