Efficacy and Safety of the Farnesyl-transferase Inhibitor (Tipifarnib) in Mantle Cell Lymphoma
Mantle Cell LymphomaTo determine the EFFICACY and the SAFETY PROFILE and TOXICITY of Zarnestra® in the treatment of patients with previously treated mantle cell lymphoma not appropriate for autologous bone marrow transplantation. 27 evaluable subjects will be enrolled for an analysis in 2 stages (11 for the first stage, 16 for the second). Patients who receive at least one dose of Zarnestra® and have at least one post-baseline response assessment of discontinued study frug for early progression are evaluable. Subjects not evaluable for response will be replaced, up to 35 patients.
In-Vivo Activated T-Cell Depletion to Prevent GVHD
Acute Myelogenous LeukemiaAcute Lymphocytic Leukemia9 moreThe purpose of this study is to compare the effects (good and bad) of the medication basiliximab in combination with cyclosporine with cyclosporine alone for the prevention of graft-versus-host disease. This research is being done because there is no completely safe and effective prevention for graft-versus-host disease. It is known that cyclosporine helps with GVHD but we would like to know if the addition of basiliximab will decrease the incidence and/or severity of GVHD after a transplant known as nonmyeloablative ("mini" transplant).
MDX-010 in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Lymphoma
Adult Grade III Lymphomatoid GranulomatosisB-cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia21 moreBiological therapies, such as MDX-010, work in different ways to stimulate the immune system and stop cancer cells from growing. This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of MDX-010 and to see how well it works in treating patients with recurrent or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Oblimersen and Gemcitabine in Treating Patients With Advanced Solid Tumor or Lymphoma
Extranodal Marginal Zone B-cell Lymphoma of Mucosa-associated Lymphoid TissueNodal Marginal Zone B-cell Lymphoma33 moreDrugs used in chemotherapy such as gemcitabine use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Oblimersen may increase the effectiveness of gemcitabine by making cancer cells more sensitive to the drug. This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of oblimersen and gemcitabine in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable solid tumors or lymphoma
Donor Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplant in Treating Patients With Hematologic Malignancies
Acute Biphenotypic LeukemiaAcute Erythroid Leukemia in Remission28 moreThis phase II trial studies how well donor peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplant works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Cyclophosphamide when added to tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil is safe and effective in preventing severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in most patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing transplantation of bone marrow from half-matched (haploidentical) donors. This approach has extended the transplant option to patients who do not have matched related or unrelated donors, especially for patients from ethnic minority groups. The graft contains cells of the donor's immune system which potentially can recognize and destroy the patient's cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Rejection of the donor's cells by the patient's own immune system is prevented by giving low doses of chemotherapy (fludarabine phosphate and cyclophosphamide) and total-body irradiation before transplant. Patients can experience low blood cell counts after transplant. Using stem cells and immune cells collected from the donor's circulating blood may result in quicker recovery of blood counts and may be more effective in treating the patient's disease than using bone marrow.
A Phase II Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of P276-00 in Relapsed and/or Refractory Mantle...
Mantle Cell LymphomaThe purpose of this study is to determine whether P276-00 is safe and effective in treatment of Mantle Cell Lymphoma that is recurred after or not responding to at least one previous line of treatment.
Everolimus in Treating Older Patients With Mantle Cell Lymphoma Previously Treated With First-Line...
LymphomaRATIONALE: Everolimus may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well everolimus works in treating older patients with mantle cell lymphoma who received previous first-line or second-line chemotherapy.

A Dose Escalation Study of Duvortuxizumab in Participants With Relapsed or Refractory B-cell Malignancies...
LeukemiaLymphocytic10 moreThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, dose-limiting toxicities (any harmful effect of a drug) (DLT), maximum tolerated dose (MTD), recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and preliminary clinical activity of duvortuxizumab when administered intravenously to participants with relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies [diffuse-large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), mantle-cell lymphoma (MCL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)].
Anti-CD20 Radioimmunotherapy Before Chemotherapy and Stem Cell Transplant in Treating Patients With...
Burkitt LymphomaCD20-Positive Neoplastic Cells Present5 moreThis phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of anti-cluster of differentiation (CD)20 radioimmunotherapy (RIT), and to see how well it works when given before chemotherapy and stem cell transplant in treating patients with B-cell malignancies that have not responded to treatment or have come back after responding to treatment. CD20 is a protein found on the cells of a type of cancer cell called B-cells. Anti-CD20 RIT attaches radioactive material to a drug that is designed to target CD20, which brings radioactive material to the cancer cells to kill the cells. This may kill more tumor cells while causing fewer side effects to healthy tissue. Adding anti-CD20 to standard chemotherapy and stem cell transplant may be more effective in treating patients with B-cell malignancies.
