Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma"

CLAG-M is an active, well tolerated regimen in acute myelogenous leukemia. Each of the agents is active in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) as well. The current trial will determine the efficacy of the regimen in patients with relapsed ALL.

Phase II trial to determine the efficacy of Dose Adjusted-EPOCH-Rituximab regimen in children and adolescent with primary mediastinal large B cell lymphoma in terms of event free survival.

This phase II trial studies how well giving brentuximab vedotin together with combination chemotherapy works in treating older patients with previously untreated stage II-IV Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Monoclonal antibody-drug conjugates, such as brentuximab vedotin, can block cancer growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (AVD), work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving brentuximab vedotin, doxorubicin hydrochloride, vinblastine, and dacarbazine together may kill more cancer cells.

The aim of this phase III trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of treatment with rituximab in combination with FCM chemotherapy (R-FCM) versus FCM chemotherapy alone for remission induction and to asses the safety and efficacy of rituximab maintenance versus observation only after response to induction therapy. Both questions are addressed in way of a prospective randomized comparison in patients with relapsed FL, MCL and LP lymphoma.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of liposomal cytarabine in treating young patients who have recurrent or refractory meningeal leukemia, lymphoma, or solid tumors.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating patients with HIV-related non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that has relapsed or has not responded to chemotherapy.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Peripheral stem cell transplant may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well combination chemotherapy regimens with or without radiation therapy or peripheral stem cell transplant works in treating children with Hodgkin's lymphoma.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of using Iodine-131 Anti-B1 Antibody for the treatment of patients with large B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) who have achieved a response following 6-8 cycles of CHOP therapy.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage cancer cells. It is not yet known if chlorambucil is more effective than radiation therapy in treating follicular lymphoma. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of chlorambucil with that of radiation therapy in treating patients who have stage III or stage IV follicular lymphoma that has not been previously treated.

RATIONALE: Biological therapies such as denileukin diftitox may be able to deliver cancer-killing substances directly to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of denileukin diftitox in treating patients who have non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
