Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin"

This phase I trial is studying how well monoclonal antibody therapy with peripheral stem cell transplant works in treating patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. 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. Peripheral stem cell transplant may allow the doctor to give higher doses of monoclonal antibodies and kill more cancer cells

Blood and marrow stem cell transplant has improved the outcome for patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies. However, most patients do not have an appropriate HLA (immune type) matched sibling donor available and/or are unable to identify an acceptable unrelated HLA matched donor through the registries in a timely manner. Another option is haploidentical transplant using a partially matched family member donor. Although haploidentical transplant has proven curative in many patients, this procedure has been hindered by significant complications, primarily regimen-related toxicity including graft versus host disease (GVHD) and infection due to delayed immune reconstitution. These can, in part, be due to certain white blood cells in the graft called T cells. GVHD happens when the donor T cells recognize the body tissues of the patient (the host) are different and attack these cells. Although too many T cells increase the possibility of GVHD, too few may cause the recipient's immune system to reconstitute slowly or the graft to fail to grow, leaving the patient at high-risk for significant infection. This research project will investigate the use of particular pre-transplant conditioning regimen (chemotherapy, antibodies and total body irradiation) followed by a stem cell infusion from a "mismatched" family member donor. Once these stem cells are obtained they will be highly purified in an effort to remove T cells using the investigational CliniMACS stem cell selection device. The primary goal of this study will be to determine the rate of neutrophil and platelet engraftment, as well as the degree and rate of immune reconstitution in the first 100 days posttransplant for patients who receive this study treatment. Researchers will also study ways to decrease complications that may occur with a transplant from a genetically mismatched family donor.

The main purpose of this study is to find out if it is feasible to deliver a multi-agent chemotherapy regimen which features a shorter, more intensive, immunophenotype-directed approach, and includes an intensification phase with hematopoietic stem cell support for children with large cell lymphoma

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of TXA127 in accelerating the time it takes for patients to recover their platelet counts following a Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell transplant.

The treatment being investigated is a patient- and tumor-specific therapy known as a personalized active immunotherapy. Personalized active immunotherapy is an attempt to use a person's own immune system to combat disease. Sargramostim (a.k.a. GM-CSF) is given together with the personalized active immunotherapy because it may increase the immune system's response and, therefore, aid in the effect of the personalized active immunotherapy. This approach has previously been studied in patients with follicular Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and other B-cell malignancies. Encouraging efficacy results and a favorable safety profile have been seen to date in these studies.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of TAK-659 when administered in East Asian participants with NHL who do not have an effective standard treatment available and to characterize the plasma and urine pharmacokinetic (PK) of TAK-659 in East Asian participants with NHL.

Patients with hormone and docetaxel refractory prostate cancer or relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma for which no available standard therapy or therapy which may provide clinical benefit is available will be enrolled. Primary objectives: estimate the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicities. Secondary objectives: Response rate, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles, Prostate Specific Antigen response and renal elimination.

This research project will focus on whether it is safe and effective to rely on donor cells to prevent relapse of leukemia, lymphoma, or other blood cancer after bone marrow stem cell transplant.

Researchers at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital want to investigate the feasibility of a yoga intervention for adolescents receiving treatment for lymphoma or leukemia. Adolescents who participate in the program may experience improved physical and psychosocial measures. Improvements in these areas may increase participation in meaningful activity and improve quality of life. Adolescents diagnosed with cancer may experience more fatigue, anxiety and pain during treatment. Yoga is considered a complementary alternative medicine (CAM) that has been implemented into some pediatric oncology rehabilitation programs and has been shown to be beneficial in both inpatient and outpatient settings. It may decrease anxiety and increase quality of life and hamstring flexibility in teens. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To determine the feasibility of yoga intervention for adolescents during lymphoma and leukemia treatment. OTHER PRE-SPECIFIED OBJECTIVE: To obtain pilot data regarding efficacy of yoga on pain, quality of life, fatigue and physical performance.

This protocol is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of inotuzumab ozogamicin given with rituximab compared to a defined investigator's choice therapy. Subjects will be randomized to one of these two arms of the study.
