Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin"

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well high-dose yttrium-90 (Y-90)-ibritumomab tiuxetan (anti-cluster of differentiation [CD]20) followed by fludarabine phosphate, low-dose total body irradiation (TBI), and donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant (PBSCT) work in treating patients with aggressive B-cell lymphoma that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as Y-90-ibritumomab tiuxetan, can find cancer cells and carry cancer-killing substances to them with less effect on normal cells. Giving chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate, and TBI before a donor PBSCT helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. However, high-dose radiolabeled antibodies also destroy healthy blood cells in the patient's body. When healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient (stem cell transplant), they may help the patient's body replace these blood cells. Giving high-dose Y-90-ibritumomab tiuxetan followed by fludarabine phosphate, TBI, and donor PBSCT may be an effective treatment for patients with B-cell lymphoma.

The purpose of this study is to: Investigate the Overall Response Rate (ORR) of the combination of ofatumumab and bortezomib in patients with low-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (LG-NHL) that relapse beyond 6 months of a previous rituximab-containing regimen.

Patients with hematologic malignancies will receive myeloablative chemotherapy followed by stem cell rescue with bone marrow or hematopoietic peripheral blood stem cells collected by apheresis from a filgrastim- (G-CSF)-mobilized haploidentical related-donor, ie, hematopoietic peripheral blood stem cell transplant (HSCT).

This study is a means of providing transplantation to those patients who would be a stem cell transplant candidate who do not have an appropriate donor. The use of CD34 selected haploidentical donor with an umbilical cord unit may help provide earlier engraftment without the need for long term immunosuppression. This study tests a new method of bone marrow transplantation called combined haploidentical-cord blood transplantation. In this procedure, some of the blood forming cells (the stem cells) from a partially human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched (haploidentical) related donor are collected from the blood, as well as cells from an umbilical cord are transplanted into the patient (the recipient) after administration of a "conditioning regimen". A conditioning regimen consists of chemotherapy and sometimes radiation to the entire body (total body irradiation, or TBI), which is meant to destroy the cancer cells and suppress the recipient's immune system to allow the transplanted cells to take (grow).

This is a study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TRU-015 in treatment of B-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL). TRU-015 is also currently being evaluated in multiple clinical studies for the treatment of autoimmune disorders. Over 300 patients have received TRU-015 in these studies, and the data observed to date support its safety in patients with autoimmune disorders. Safety of an escalating dose of 4 weekly infusions of TRU-015 will be evaluated in subjects with relapsed NHL (see inclusion criteria for subtypes). Once a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is confirmed or maximum dose to be studied is determined to be safe and well tolerated, an expanded cohort of subjects with relapsed follicular NHL will be evaluated for efficacy.

Obatoclax may stop the growth of non-Hodgkin lymphoma by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Bortezomib and obatoclax may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving obatoclax together with bortezomib may kill more cancer cells. This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of obatoclax when given together with bortezomib and to see how well they work in treating patients with aggressive relapsed or recurrent non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

The purpose of the study is to assess the response rate of patients with relapsed or refractory low-grade or transformed low-grade, CD20-positive, B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma to Iodine-131 (I-131) tositumomab (Bexxar) therapy plus local palliative radiation therapy (XRT).

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of unrelated double and single cord blood transplantation in patients with haematological malignancies using reduced-intensity or myeloablative conditioning regimens.

This is a Phase 1 study with Cohort Expansion of Pentostatin, Bendamustine and Ofatumumab (PBO) for patients with previously treated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) and B-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (B- cell NHL). The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal dose of bendamustine in combination with pentostatin and ofatumumab, and then to see how safe these three drugs work together.

The primary goal of this study is to determine the effects (good and bad) of Granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in combination with Cytoxan, Adriamycin, Vincristine, Prednisone, Rituximab (CHOP-R) on diffuse Large B cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (DLBCL). The standard of care for DLBCL is the combination of drugs known as CHOP-Rituximab (CHOP-R). The drugs that make up CHOP-R are the chemotherapy drugs cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and vincristine, prednisone and rituximab. GM-CSF is a drug that stimulates the immune system by increasing the numbers of white blood cells. Previous research has shown that GM-CSF might help rituximab to be more effective in treating lymphoma.
