Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin"

IMMU-114 will be studied at different dose schedules and dose levels in order to assess the highest dose safely tolerated. IMMU-114 will be administered subcutaneously (under the skin). IMMU-114 will be given 1-2 times weekly for 3 weeks followed by one week of rest. This is considered one cycle. Treatment cycles will be repeated until toxicity or worsening of disease.

In particular circumstances T cells can be an effective treatment for malignant disease, for example, donor lymphocyte infusions following allogeneic transplants or treatment of EBV related lymphomas post allograft. However, many common cancers are poorly recognised by the immune system in part because of a lack of suitable T cell targets and in part because of defects in antigen presentation by tumours (Garrido, et al 1997). Genetically modified T cells engineered to express chimeric immune receptors (CIRs) on their cell surface can bypass the need for MHC presentation and thus represent an attractive approach to immunotherapy (Gross, et al 1989).

This phase II trial studies how well yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan and rituximab work in treating patients with recurrent or refractory primary central nervous system non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as yttrium 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan, can find cancer cells and carry cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Giving yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan with rituximab may kill more cancer cells.

This is an open-label extension study enrolling participants experiencing clinical benefit following 6 cycles of DI-Leu16-IL2 while enrolled in the Alopexx Oncology Dose-Escalation AO-101 study (NCT01874288). Participants will be permitted to continue to receive DI-Leu16-IL2 at the same dose, schedule, and route of administration they received during Study AO-101 (Main Study). Prior pre-treatment (for example, Rituximab) will continue as before.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of CPI-613 (6,8-bis[benzylthio]octanoic acid) when given together with bendamustine hydrochloride and rituximab in treating patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back or has not responded to treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 6,8-bis(benzylthio)octanoic acid and bendamustine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may find cancer cells and help kill them. Giving 6,8-bis(benzylthio)octanoic acid with bendamustine hydrochloride and rituximab may kill more cancer cells.

RATIONALE: Lenalidomide may stop the growth of cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. 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. Giving lenalidomide together with rituximab may be an effective treatment for B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide when given together with rituximab as maintenance therapy in treating patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Background: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allotransplant) has been used to treat many kinds of cancer that develop in cells from the blood or immune system. After allotransplant, donor cells take over production of the recipient s blood and immune cells, and donor immune cells can directly attack and control tumor. However, for cancers that do not respond to allotransplant, there are no proven cures. A single treatment with radiation can improve the potency of immune-cell therapies. This is probably because the tumor tissue is damaged in a way that new tumor proteins are exposed, attracting immune cells to the tumor. By giving only a single dose of radiation, the immune cells that are attracted to the tumor are allowed to survive and function in their usual way, traveling throughout the body and educating other immune cells to recognize tumor, and to activate and expand in order to kill the tumor cells. Some research has shown that radiation may have a widespread effect on stimulating the immune system, educating immune cells to recognize and control tumors that have not been radiated. Objectives: - To determine whether a single treatment of radiation will help donor immune cells control cancer after allotransplant without causing excessive side effects. Eligibility: Recipients: Individuals 18 years of age and older who have blood cancers that have not responded to allotransplant. Donors: Healthy individuals 18 years of age and older who were previous allotransplant donors for one of the study recipients. Design: Donors will provide additional blood immune cells, called lymphocytes, through apheresis. Apheresis involves drawing blood, separating out the lymphocytes, and returning the rest of the blood to the donor. Recipients will receive a single dose of radiation to the greatest amount of tumor that can be irradiated safely. Researchers will intentionally leave some tumor that will not be radiated in order to evaluate whether there is a widespread response to the treatment. There are two treatment arms on the study. Arm 1: Study participants who have donor lymphocytes available and who have not had major complications from the allotransplant will be given a dose of donor cells after they receive radiation, to provide an additional boost to the donor immune response. Arm 2: Study participants who cannot receive donor lymphocytes because their donor is not available, they received an allotransplant from a partially matched relative, or they have had significant complications from the allotransplant - will receive radiation without additional donor lymphocytes. All recipients will be followed closely for side effects and for tumor response to radiation with or without donor lymphocytes. Additional tests will be performed, including tumor biopsies, bone marrow samples, and blood draws, in order to study the immune effects of radiation and donor lymphocytes. A separate, control group of allotransplant recipients will not receive radiation. This group will include participants whose transplant doctors plan to use donor lymphocyte therapy alone to control cancer progression. This group will donate blood immune cells through blood draws and apheresis. These cells will be examined to study the immune effects of receiving donor lymphocytes without radiation.

A continuation study of sirolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for graft-vs-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis for patients undergoing matched related allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for acute and chronic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), high risk non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), or Hodgkin lymphoma (HL)

Primary Objectives: To evaluate the response rate for patients with T-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL)receiving the combination of vorinostat and bortezomib To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination of vorinostat and bortezomib in patients with relapsed or refractory T-cell NHL. Secondary Objectives: To assess overall survival and time to treatment failure in patients with T-cell NHL treated with the combination of vorinostat and bortezomib. Correlative studies will be done to assess the role of vorinostat mediated apoptosis along with bortezomib synergy. Changes in marker expression from baseline to post treatment will be correlated with patient clinical response.

This is a randomized trial to estimate the activity of R-ICE plus SGN-40 vs. R-ICE plus placebo in patients with DLBCL. The study will assess safety and tolerability and will measure any additional clinical benefit observed in patients receiving SGN-40.
