T-Cell Depletion and Stem Cell Transplant for Immune Deficiencies and Histiocytic Disorders
Hemophagocytic LymphohistiocytosisX-Linked Lymphoproliferative Disorders5 moreThe hypothesis is to determine if a preparative regimen of busulfan, cyclophosphamide, and antithymocyte globulin (ATG) plus allogeneic stem cell transplantation will be effective in the treatment of immune deficiencies and histiocytic disorders.
Trial of MEDI-507 in CD2-Positive Lymphoproliferative Disease
Lymphoproliferative DisordersThe primary objective of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and safety and tolerability of MEDI-507 in patients with CD2-positive lymphoproliferative disorders.
Bortezomib and Ganciclovir in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Epstein Barr Virus-Positive...
LymphomaLymphoproliferative DisorderRATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. The Epstein Barr virus can cause cancer and lymphoproliferative disorders. Ganciclovir is an antiviral drug that acts against the Epstein Barr virus. Giving ganciclovir together with bortezomib may kill more Epstein Barr virus-infected cancer cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well giving bortezomib together with ganciclovir works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory Epstein Barr virus-positive lymphoma.
Beta-Glucan and Rituximab in Treating Young Patients With Relapsed or Progressive Lymphoma or Leukemia,...
LeukemiaLymphoma1 moreRATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as rituximab can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Beta-glucan may increase the effectiveness of rituximab by making cancer cells more sensitive to the monoclonal antibody. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of beta-glucan when given together with rituximab in treating young patients with relapsed or progressive lymphoma or leukemia or with lymphoproliferative disorder related to donor stem cell transplantation.
Vorinostat and Lenalidomide in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma or...
Adult Nasal Type Extranodal NK/T-cell LymphomaAnaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma29 moreRATIONALE: Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Giving vorinostat together with lenalidomide may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vorinostat when given together with lenalidomide in treating patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Vaccine Therapy For Patients Being Considered For Organ Transplant Who Are at Risk For PTLD
Lymphoproliferative DisorderRATIONALE: Vaccines made from a person's white blood cells may help the body build an effective immune response. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects of vaccine therapy in treating patients who are being considered for solid organ transplant who are at risk for post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder.
Cellular Immunotherapy for Viral Induced Cancer - EBV Positive Lymphomas
Hodgkin LymphomaLymphoma3 moreTo investigate the efficacy of autologous Epstein-barr virus (EBV)-specific T cells for the treatment of EBV positive Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) and Post-transplant Lymphoproliferative Disease (PTLD) after failing first line treatment.
Rituximab and Acalabrutinib in Newly Diagnosed B Cell Post Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder...
Post-transplant Lymphoproliferative DisorderThe purpose of this study is to evaluate how effective rituximab and acalabrutinib are when given as a combination treatment for newly diagnosed B cell post transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD). Currently there is no approved therapy for PTLD. Rituximab alone is commonly used and works in some cases, but not others. In addition, participants with PTLD have trouble tolerating therapies with large amounts of side effects due to their health conditions and medications for their transplant. Due to these reasons the study team is looking for a new treatment with novel targeted agents in order to improve outcomes and to minimize toxicity. Based on emerging data of clinical efficacy of acalabrutinib in B cell malignancies and an unmet need for novel therapies in PTLD, this study will investigate the use of rituximab and acalabrutinib in participants with newly diagnosed B cell PTLD.
PXD101 and 17-N-Allylamino-17-Demethoxygeldanamycin in Treating Patients With Metastatic or Unresectable...
Adult Nasal Type Extranodal NK/T-cell LymphomaAnaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma59 moreThis phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of giving PDX101 together with 17-AAG in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable solid tumors or lymphoma. PDX101 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 17-N-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG), work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving PXD101 together with 17-AAG may kill more cancer cells.
Chemotherapy for Relapsed Epstein Barr Virus Associated Lymphoma
Epstein Barr Virus Associated Non Hodgkin's LymphomaEpstein Barr Virus Associated Hodgkin's Lymphoma1 moreBy combining a variety of agents that potentiate Zidovudine (ZDV), the investigators hope to induce remission in this generally fatal disease. Most therapies for aggressive B cell lymphomas are based upon intensive chemotherapeutic regimens, expensive modalities (bone marrow transplant, Rituximab), or experimental approaches (gene therapy, cytotoxic T cell infusion) that are difficult to implement in heavily pre-treated patients. Therapy for relapsed aggressive B cell lymphomas is very poor. Even curable lymphomas such as Burkitt Lymphoma (BL) and Hodgkin lymphoma are extremely difficult to treat in relapse and/or after stem cell transplant failure. The investigators propose a novel therapeutic approach that exploits the presence of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in lymphomas; antiviral mediated suppression of NF-kB and disruption of viral latency.
