Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin"

Background: - MLN4924 is an experimental cancer drug. It may help kill lymphoma cells and make them more sensitive to chemotherapy. EPOCH R is a combination chemotherapy drug. It has been effective in treating some cases of large B-cell lymphoma. This research will look at two things. The first is the effect of MLN4924 on its own in treating large B-cell lymphoma. The second is the safe dose and effect of MLN4924 and EPOCH-R in combination when treating large B-cell lymphoma. Objectives: To study how MLN4924 affects large B-cell lymphoma tumors. To compare the effects of MLN 4924 alone and MLN4924 plus standard EPOCH-R chemotherapy. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have large B-cell lymphoma that will be treated with chemotherapy. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will also have blood and urine tests, tumor samples, and imaging studies. Participants will receive MLN4924 for a maximum of six 21-day cycles of treatment. Each cycle involves a dose of MLN4924 twice a week for 2 weeks, followed by a 1-week rest period. Participants will be monitored with frequent blood tests and imaging studies. Participants who do not benefit from MLN4924 alone will have MLN4924 along with EPOCH-R chemotherapy for up to six cycles of treatment.

This study investigates whether the prophylactic use of moxifloxacin during high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation reduces the incidence of clinically significant bacteremia. Further investigations include time to occurrence of fever, duration of fever, overall survival and antibiotic sensitivity of blood isolates.

RATIONALE: The BL22 immunotoxin can locate tumor cells and kill them without harming normal cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of the BL22 immunotoxin in treating patients who have non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Intensive chemotherapy is associated with significant thrombocytopenia, often requiring platelet transfusion to maintain platelet counts. This investigational drug has been demonstrated to increase platelet counts. This study will test the safety and efficacy of the investigational drug in the prevention of thrombocytopenia in patients with recurrent or refractory intermediate-grade or high-grade non-Burkitt's, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), or Hodgkin's disease receiving DHAP (Dexamethasone, high-dose Cytarabine, and Cisplatin) chemotherapy.

This is a multi-center, phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CTL019 in Chinese adult patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL.

Regular physical activity (PA) is associated with maintaining body composition, increased cardiorespiratory capacity, muscle mass and bone mineral density. In the event of a cancer, the development of physical capacities and metabolism may therefore be disturbed by cancer, these associated treatments (chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation) but also undernutrition and the reduction in physical activity or even a sedentary lifestyle. Although the benefits of PA in oncology are now well identified for adult populations, studies are still rare in the population of children, adolescents and young adults, and the results are still difficult to generalize. As a result, there is no recommendation on the practice of physical activity in pediatric oncology or adolescents and young adults and the levels of physical activity of cured patients remain lower than those of the general population. Fitness is a marker of health in adults as well as in adolescents. Physical condition is a set of components such as cardiorespiratory capacity (transport and use of O2), body composition (distribution of bone, muscle and fat masses) and muscle function (strength, power, fatigue, energy metabolism) . The investigators hypothesize that, compared to young adults, recovered from lymphoma are expected to exhibit impaired physical condition, due to physical deconditioning.

This study will determine the safety and applicability of experimental forms of umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplantation for patients with high risk hematologic malignancies who might benefit from a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) but who do not have a standard donor option (no available HLA-matched related donor (MRD), HLA-matched unrelated donor (MUD)), or single UCB unit with adequate cell number and HLA-match).

This clinical trial studies genetically modified peripheral blood stem cell transplant in treating patients with HIV-associated non-Hodgkin or Hodgkin lymphoma. Giving chemotherapy before a peripheral stem cell transplant stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. After treatment, stem cells are collected from the patient's blood and stored. More chemotherapy or radiation therapy is then given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. Laboratory-treated stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy and radiation therapy

The purpose of this study is to compare the number of responders to vaccination with the influenza virus vaccine at different time points after last dose of rituximab in patients with lymphoma. Secondly to study the immune-response to vaccination with influenza virus vaccine, after treatment with rituximab in relation to the reconstitution of immune-function.

The purpose of this phase 1-2 study is to explore the applicability of supplementing standard methotrexate/6-mercaptopurine (MTX/6MP) maintenance therapy of children with non-Hodgkin lymphoma with 6-thioguanine (6TG). The investigators hypothesize that addition of 6TG to 6MP-based maintenance therapy of patients with high TPMT activity will mimic the more favourable thiopurine metabolism of patients with low TPMT activity and ultimately reduce relapse rates.
