Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma, B-Cell, Marginal Zone"

Monoclonal antibodies such as rituximab can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill cancer cells. Combining rituximab with interleukin-2 may kill more cancer cells. Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of rituximab plus interleukin-2 in treating patients who have hematologic cancer.

Monoclonal antibodies, such as yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan, can block find cancer cells and either kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Giving monoclonal antibodies, low doses of chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate, and low dose total-body radiation therapy before a donor peripheral stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells and also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving cyclosporine or mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bortezomib when given together with fludarabine with or without rituximab in treating patients with relapsed or refractory indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. 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 bortezomib together with fludarabine with or without rituximab may kill more cancer cells.

This phase II trial is studying how well giving iodine I 131 tositumomab together with etoposide and cyclophosphamide followed by autologous stem cell transplant works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as iodine I 131 tositumomab, can find cancer cells and deliver radioactive cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as etoposide and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Combining a radiolabeled monoclonal antibody with combination chemotherapy before autologous stem cell transplant may kill more cancer cells

This phase II trial is studying how well giving bendamustine hydrochloride, etoposide, dexamethasone, and filgrastim together for peripheral stem cell mobilization works in treating patients with refractory or recurrent lymphoma or multiple myeloma. Giving chemotherapy, such as bendamustine hydrochloride, etoposide, and dexamethasone, before a peripheral stem cell transplant stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as filgrastim, and certain chemotherapy drugs helps stem cells move from the bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored

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

RATIONALE: Low dose deferasirox may be safe and effective in treating patients who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplant and have iron overload. PURPOSE: This pilot clinical trial studies safety and tolerability of deferasirox in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients who have iron overload. Effect of low dose deferasirox on labile plasma iron is also examined.

This phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects of acalabrutinib and duvelisib and how well they work in treating patients with indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Acalabrutinib inhibits a signaling molecule called Bruton tyrosine kinase and blocks cancer cell proliferation, growth, and survival. Duvelisib is designed to block a protein called PI3 kinase in order to stop cancer growth and cause changes in the immune system that may allow the immune system to better act against cancer cells. Giving acalabrutinib and duvelisib together may work better to block cancer growth than therapy of either drug alone.

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of duvelisib in combination with bendamustine and rituximab (DBR) vs placebo in combination with bendamustine and rituximab (PBR) in subjects with previously-treated indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL).

Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZBL) of the mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT-lymphoma) represents a distinct clinical entity and is the most common form of extranodal lymphoma, with a predilection for the stomach. About 90% of gastric MALT-lymphomas are associated with infection with Helicobacter pylori (HP) and eradication of the pathogen leads to regression of the tumor in a high percentage of patients at early tumour stages. Nevertheless, following complete remission after HP-eradication, the risk of relapse justifies lifelong follow-up examinations. Supported by recent findings at the investigators department, endoscopic controls should include a close examination of the small bowel, as relapses can involve different gastrointestinal sites. To continue the investigators diagnostic approach as well as to further improve the detection rate of MALT-lymphoma relapses, the investigators plan to introduce the novel confocal laser endomicroscope (CLE) into the diagnostic management of MALT-lymphoma patients. In the context of a prospective clinical pilot trial the investigators aim to establish MALT-lymphoma specific CLE-markers that can be used for the in vivo diagnosis of the disease. Comparing endomicroscopic findings, drawn from the stomach and small bowel of 50 MALT-lymphoma patients who will undergo staging or follow up endoscopies at the investigators department, to the histological evaluation of biopsy samples as present gold standard, the investigators want to determine whether CLE can provide reliable data for the accurate detection of MALT-lymphoma associated changes. Endomicroscopic aspects of patients with chronic gastritis, gastric adenocarcinoma and healthy subjects should serve as controls. In comparison to random biopsies which represent the current standard, the investigators aim to prove, whether endomicroscopy will find MALT-lymphoma lesions more accurately and thus help to spare patients unnecessary biopsies.
