Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin"

The incidence and severity of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in patients receiving R-CHOP chemotherapy for in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is not well documented. The contribution of prednisolone to CINV control in the R-CHOP regimen is also unclear. This study aims to evaluate the overall effectiveness of antiemetic control using a standardised 5HT3 (5-Hydroxytryptamine 3) antagonist-containing regimen (e.g. ondansetron) in a heterogeneous group of patients receiving R-CHOP chemotherapy (Rituximab Doxorubicin Vincristine Cyclophosphamide Prednisolone).

The specific immune response to SARS-CoV-2 includes a humoral response - specific IgM appearing 5 days after the onset of symptoms while IgG appears after 14 days - and a T lymphocyte component, with specific activated CD8 and CD4 T lymphocytes (Dan JM et al., Science 2021). Mortality from infection varies greatly depending on the age of the affected subjects and their comorbidities including a history of cancer (Liang W et al, 2020). Among these cancers, a history of malignant hemopathy in the 5 years preceding the onset of Covid-19 increases the risk of death by a factor of 3 (OpenSAFELY collaborative 2020). Among them, lymphoid hemopathies induce hypogammaglobulinemia and / or lymphopenia. These factors combined with chemotherapy and immunotherapy treatments promote the development of infections in affected individuals. Among these, are the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies, widely prescribed for treating B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-NHL). They induce a deep and lasting B-cell lymphopenia, which can promote infections (Maschmeyer G et al, 2019). They reduce the production of antibodies and the constitution of memory responses to a new pathogen or to a vaccination. In addition, B lymphocytes likely have a key immunomodulatory role in the control of viral infections. We conducted a retrospective study in 89 patients with lymphoma and Covid-19 after the first phase of the epidemic in different centers in the Île-de-France and eastern France regions (Lamure S et al. , 2020). With a 6-month follow-up, we showed a pejorative prognostic impact of anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody treatment on Covid-19-related mortality (Duléry et al, 2021). Vaccination of these at-risk patients is therefore essential. A growing concern is how patients with B-NHL who have been vaccinated with a SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine are protected against infection, depending on whether or not they have received anti-CD20 monoclonal drugs and / or chemotherapy. Knowing the medium-term immunological evolution after vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 in patients with B-cell NHL is necessary in order to be able to adapt the therapeutic and vaccine recommendations. The main objective of this study is to determine how recent treatment (in the year before vaccination) with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody modifies the immune response after vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 in adults with B-NHL compared to patients who have not recently been exposed to this immunotherapy.

The main objective of the proposed study is to assess the effectiveness, feasibility and costs of a tailored strategy (developed in accordance with the barriers found and current practice) to improve care for patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL), compared to a common strategy of 'audit & feedback'.

This clinical trial studies dietary and exercise interventions in preventing cardiovascular disease in younger survivors of childhood cancer. Eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in younger survivors of childhood cancer.

A retrospective analysis will be performed regarding the usefulness of PET/CT performed following 2 cycle of chemotherapy in evaluation of progression, free survival and overall survival of patients with aggressive non Hodgkin Lymphoma.

The goal of this study is to develop imaging based methods to accurately determine the energy absorbed (absorbed dose) by tumor tissue and bone marrow after radioimmunotherapy with I-131 tositumomab . The administration of the radioactive, iodine-131 labeled, monoclonal antibody I-131 tositumomab, (also known as Bexxar) is part of the patient's clinical treatment protocol. For the absorbed dose measurement, investigators at the University of Michigan are evaluating a new Nuclear Medicine SPECT/CT imaging system . This new camera combines a CT imaging system in addition to a Nuclear Medicine SPECT scanner. CT scans allow the doctors to see a high quality picture of your internal organs. The Nuclear Medicine SPECT scanner allows the doctors to see the uptake of the radioactive I-131 including the tumor sites. The improved imaging using the SPECT/CT enables more accurate calculation of the energy absorbed by tumor tissue and bone marrow. Using the results from these calculations and clinical follow up data, the researchers will investigate the relationship between the absorbed dose to the tumor and the patient's tumor response as well as the relationship between the absorbed dose to the bone marrow and the bone marrow toxicity. These relationships can potentially be used in the future by doctors to help determine how much radioactive I-131 to administer to each patient to get optimal results.

Background: - Lymphoma rates in Asia have been lower than in the West, but rates have been rising in recent years. Most studies of lymphoma patients have been conducted in the West. Less information is available about the factors that might contribute to the rise of lymphoma in Asia. Researchers want to collect medical and personal histories and samples from people who have recently been diagnosed with lymphoma. This information will help them study possible reasons for this increase. Objectives: - To collect samples and histories as part of an introductory study of lymphoma in Asia. Eligibility: People between 18 and 79 years of age who have entered study hospitals in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and mainland China for treatment for any type of lymphoma. Healthy volunteers between 18 and 79 who have never had lymphoma. Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. They will provide blood samples and cheek cell samples for testing. Participants will complete a questionnaire about their personal health history. They will answer questions about exposures to chemicals like pesticides. They will also be asked about family medical history and work and residential history. Finally they will answer questions about lifestyle factors like diet and exercise. They will give permission for the researchers to see their medical records. Researchers will also have access to any tumor samples collected as part of treatment.

This study is to inquire by mailed survey regarding the cardiac and general health of patients previously treated for Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with radiation therapy/anthracycline chemotherapy.

18F-FDG PET/MR imaging protocol integrating advanced MR vascular imaging sequences, along with computerized quantitative methods for data analysis, is expected to serve as an objective tool for assessment of lymphoma patients. The aim of this prospective study is to develop an automatic artificial intelligence-based tool for the assessment of early response to treatment and evaluation of residual masses in patients with lymphoma. Specific objectives are: To evaluate the added value of 18F-FDG PET/MRI compared with PET/CT in imaging lymphoma. To optimize PET/MR imaging protocol for lymphoma assessment. To develop an automated tool for staging patients with lymphoma. To develop an automated method for early prediction of response to therapy and prognosis in patients with lymphoma. To develop an automated non-invasive tool for discriminating benign from active residual masses at end of treatment in patients with lymphoma.

In the study, we aimed to characterize the role of FDG PET/CT surveillance at 12 months of malignant lymphoma in asymptomatic patients after a first complete remission and to define a rational follow-up strategy.
