Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin"

In order to improve the clinical result of high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation for B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Zevalin will be added to the conditioning regimen. Investigators expect this radioimmunotherapy of Zevalin plus busulfan, cyclophosphamide and etoposide regimen will improve survival of relapsed or poor-risk B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a blood test can accurately detect whether if the participant's lymphoma has come back after completion of initial chemotherapy treatment for their aggressive B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The purpose of the study is to see if MRD in blood samples can potentially replace CT scans after completion of chemotherapy in the future.

The study is planned to compare the outcome of aggressive NHL patients in partial remission after four courses of front-line therapy, randomly assigned to receive either additional four courses of the same regimen or a modified HDS program.

The study hypothesis is that intensification of CHOP by dose escalation of the most active drugs in the combination will improve treatment outcome. Patients with diffuse large-cell lymphoma are treated by high cyclophosphamide containing CHOP. The planned dose is 3000 mg/m2 which is 4 times the atandard one. Only 4 cycles are given.

The purpose of this study is to better understand the genetic causes of cancer and the inherited tendency to develop cancer. To accomplish this, blood specimens and/or saliva samples and/or tumor and normal tissue blocks from patients and families of patients with cancer will be collected. Blood specimens will be frozen and stored for analysis at a later date. Tumor tissue and normal tissue will be stored for analysis at a later date. In order to perform this study, patients and members of their families will be asked to provide blood samples and/or saliva samples. Individuals will be asked to provide a history of cancer in their relatives at the time the blood sample is given. No relatives will be contacted before they have been asked by a family member if they wish to participate in this study. If they do wish to participate, the relatives should indicate this by returning the "Family Member Consent for Contact Form" After we receive this form, arrangements may be made for the family member to send in a blood and/or saliva sample or to come in person to provide the sample to us. Except for family history, no medical information provided by one member of a family will be discussed with other family members. At the end of this form, we will also ask for your permission to be contacted in the future to discuss information about your health, additional research with your samples and/or certain research findings possibly related to your sample.

The purpose of this study is to measure the rate of complete response (CR and UCR) at the end of a course of immuno-chemotherapy: before cerebral radiotherapy for PCL after the course of immuno-chemotherapy for aggressive lymphomas with neuromeningeal involvement Toxicity of the protocol Overall survival Survival without relapse Long-term incidence of neurocognitive toxicity

To compare localiezd radiotherapy to localized radiotherapy followed by 6 cycles of chemotherapy in the treatment of localiezd low grade lymphoma

The protocol ALL-REZ BFM 2002 aims at the optimization of treatment for children with relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The primary objective of study ALL-REZ BFM 2002 is the randomized comparison of a lower dosed and less intensive, but continuous consolidation therapy with conventional therapy administered in treatment blocks. Outcome measures are the reduction of minimal residual disease (MRD), event-free and overall survival, and the toxicity associated with each treatment strategy.

The purpose of this study is to assess the blood pharmacokinetics in patients with previously untreated or relapsed follicular or transformed follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who have received a dosimetric dose of fission-derived iodine I 131 tositumomab.

The purpose of this study is to determine if peripheral blood cells collected following AMD3100 mobilization can be used safely for hematopoietic cell transplantation into HLA-matched recipients.
