Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin"

Guanabana, known also as Graviola or Annona muricata is a tropical fruit which has been commonly used as complimentary/alternative medicine in Latin American countries. The main compounds in Graviola are the annonaceous acetogenins. These acetogenins have been shown to be selective and toxic against various types of cancer cells in-vitro and in-vivo experimental animal models. In spite of this evidence of anti tumor activity of Graviola, no prospective clinical studies have been carried out to determine if it also has clinical activity.The Investigator have observed two patients at Auxilio Mutuo Cancer Center who experienced significant tumor shrinkage while taking a tea made of Graviola leaves. Neither of these patients were taking any other treatment for their cancer. The investigator propose to conduct a study using guanabana leaves extract in patients with Gastroesophageal junction(GEJ) adenocarcinoma, as well as in Gastric adenocarcinoma, Hepatocellular carcinoma, Pancreatic adenocarcinoma, Low Grade Lymphomas and Colorectal adenocarcinoma.

The main purpose of this study is to examine the outcome of a combined bone marrow and kidney transplant from a partially matched related (haploidentical or "haplo") donor. This is a pilot study, you are being asked to participate because you have a blood disorder and kidney disease. The aim of the combined transplant is to treat both your underlying blood disorder and kidney disease. We expect to have about 10 people participate in this study. Additionally, because the same person who is donating the kidney will also be donating the bone marrow, there may be a smaller chance of kidney rejection and less need for long-term use of anti-rejection drugs. Traditionally, very strong cancer treatment drugs (chemotherapy) and radiation are used to prepare a subject's body for bone marrow transplant. This is associated with a high risk for serious complications, even in subjects without kidney disease. This therapy can be toxic to the liver, lungs, mucous membranes, and intestines. Additionally, it is believed that standard therapy may be associated with a higher risk of a complication called graft versus host disease (GVHD) where the new donor cells attack the recipient's normal body. Recently, less intense chemotherapy and radiation regimens have been employed (these are called reduced intensity regimens) which cause less injury and GVHD to patients, and thus, have allowed older and less healthy patients to undergo bone marrow transplant. In this study, a reduced intensity regimen of chemotherapy and radiation will be used with the intent of producing fewer toxicities than standard therapy. Typical therapy following a standard kidney transplant includes multiple lifelong medications that aim to prevent the recipient's body from attacking or rejecting the donated kidney. These are called immunosuppressant drugs and they work by "quieting" the recipient's immune system to allow the donated kidney to function properly. One goal in our study is to decrease the duration you will need to be on immunosuppressant drugs following your kidney transplant as the bone marrow transplant will provide you with the donor's immune system which should not attack the donor kidney.

This Pediatric MATCH screening and multi-sub-study phase II trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in pediatric patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, or histiocytic disorders that have progressed following at least one line of standard systemic therapy and/or for which no standard treatment exists that has been shown to prolong survival. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic mutation, and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

Multicenter, open-label, prospective treatment protocol that provides continued access to ibrutinib to subjects who have completed parent ibrutinib studies, are still benefitting from treatment with ibrutinib, and have no access to commercial ibrutinib for their underlying disease within their region.

The purpose of this extension study is to provide venetoclax and obtain long-term safety data for subjects who continue to tolerate and derive benefit from receiving venetoclax in ongoing studies.

This study intends to use Obinutuzumab, Zanubrutinib, and Lenalidomide sequential CD19/CD22 CAR-T in the treatment of Relapsed or Refractory B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma patients. The main purpose of this study is to explore a new treatment mode for R/R B-NHL patients and observe the efficacy and safety of this treatment regimen.

Management of patients with lymphoma is based on the administration of a chemotherapy containing anthracyclines (ATC), and allows cure rates of 65% to 80% at 5 years. The administration of ATCs can lead to an increase in the risk of the Left Ventricular Systolic dysfunction (LVSD) which ranges from 6 to 15% at 1 year, and of heart failure from which impact at 3.5 years can reach 5%. The major issue in the management of this toxicity is the early identification of this population for monitoring and prevention. No pharmacological intervention strategy is currently recommended. According to the recommendations of the European Society of Cardiology, this identification is based on the measurement of the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and the overall longitudinal strain (SLG) before and after the last administration of ATC ( at D84 or D126, depending on the duration of the chemotherapy protocol). Recent studies have evaluated the diagnostic performance of earlier strategies highlighting the benefit of SLG measured after 150 mg / m2 of ATC (D42). However, the tools are lacking to detect these patients as close as possible to the onset of ATC, a necessary condition for effective secondary prevention. The hypothesis is that an early assessment of myocardial binding of 18F-FDG, analyzed during the first routine PET / CT scan as part of the assessment of the response to chemotherapy (D42) should verify a population at risk of developing LVSD at 1 year.

This trial is a translational, prospective, open-label, monocentric research. The study will be conducted in a population of 60 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) for whom first-line treatment with R-CHOP is planned as part of their standard of care. SIMILY program aims at identifying biomarkers and/or molecular signatures related to immuno-phenotypic and -genotypic characteristics of the tumor and immune microenvironment, at the time of diagnosis, during R-CHOP, and at 24 months or time of progression. Each patient will be followed during 2 years.

This clinical trial compares the effectiveness of geriatric assessment (GA) guided interventions to accelerate functional recovery after chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy compared to standard of care (SOC) in patients 60 years and older with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) or multiple myeloma (MM). A large number of patients diagnosed with cancer are over the age of 60, yet most cancer treatments are developed for younger patients. Therefore, older patients may be less likely to be offered stronger treatments, such as CAR-T therapy, due to possible side effects. Geriatric assessment is a multi-dimensional health assessment tool combining patient reported and objective measures covering physical function, mental processes (cognitive), and nutrition. Pre-treatment assessments may identify weaknesses in older adults and may guide interventions for physical therapy, cognitive changes and nutrition to decrease CAR-T therapy side effects and improve care in older adults with NHL or MM.

The effects of calorie or sugar control on health and disease has been a hot topic. While established evidence has proven the health benefits of long-term calorie restriction, recent preclinical studies show encouraging results of the beneficial effects of short-term fasting on cancer treatment. In particular, short-term calorie control seems to be safe and has the potential to increase cancer cell's sensitivity to chemotherapy whereas protect normal cells from chemotherapy-induced toxicity. More human trials are needed before translating this intervention into clinical practice. The overall goal of this study is to examine if nutrition status and an intervention of sugar and calorie modification will affect patient outcomes in patients with diffuse large B-Cell lymphoma (DLBCL) receiving chemo therapy which includes Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Hydroxydaunomycin, Oncovin, and Prednisone(R-CHOP). This 5-year research project with three phases will be conducted at National Taiwan University Hospital. The first phase is a case control, observational study. By reviewing electronic charts of patients who (1) were newly diagnosed with DLBCL within the past 5 years, (2) received R-CHOP, (3) were 20-year-old or older at diagnosis, we seek to examine specific aim 1 and 2. About 500 cases are needed in this phase to achieve 80% power. The second phase is a pilot study requiring 50 participants to assess feasibility of the protocol. The third phase is a prospective cohort study in which the safety, feasibility, and effects of a calorie modification protocol are examined (aim 3, 4, and 5), participants will be randomized to experimental and comparison group. While comparison group will receive standard care, experimental group will follow the protocol of calorie modification.
