Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma, Mantle-Cell"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CAR-T cell immunotherapy in patients with CD19 positive relapsed or refractory Leukemia and Lymphoma.

This is a multi-center, single arm, open-label, prospective IIS study, which will enroll 40 recurrent MCL patients.The aim is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bortezomib, fludarabine and cyclophosphamide treatment and also analyze the relationship between NF-kB activity and efficacy of bortezomib treatment and whether NF-kB activity can predict MCL progression.

RATIONALE: Placing a gene that has been created in the laboratory into white blood cells may make the body build an immune response to kill cancer cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying genetically engineered lymphocyte therapy in treating patients with B-cell leukemia or lymphoma that is resistant or refractory to chemotherapy.

Follicular lymphoma (FL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) are rare lymphomas which consist of less than 5% of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in Korea. Although FL with histologic grade 1 or 2 has relatively good prognosis, continual treatment is needed due to frequent relapse. FL with histologic grade 3 has poor prognosis similar to that of diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Meanwhile, the response rate to systemic chemotherapy in MCL is low, so the treatment of relapsed MCL is challenging. So we investigate the efficacy of radioimmunotherapy using 131I-rituximab in refractory or relapsed patients with FL or MCL

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy and monoclonal antibody therapy before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with mantle cell lymphoma.

The goal of this clinical trial is to study how approaches for manufacturing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-modified T (CAR-T) cells affect their in vivo persistence and therapeutic efficacy against B lymphoma. Recently, cancer immunotherapy, treatments aiming to arm patients with immunity specifically against cancer cells, has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy. Among the many emerging immunotherapeutic approaches, clinical trials utilizing CARs against B cell malignancies have demonstrated remarkable potential. CARs combine the variable region of an antibody with T-cell signaling moieties to confer T-cell activation with the targeting specificity of an antibody. Thus, CARs are not MHC-restricted so they are not vulnerable to MHC down regulation by tumors. However, defined by the activation and contraction program of their mother cells, the persistency and function of CAR-T cells are also restricted by the protocol of manufacturing. Previous clinical studies largely utilized interleukin-2 (IL-2) for the ex vivo expansion of CAR-T cells, which preferentially generate CAR-T cells with characteristics of terminally differentiated effector cells. Our preliminary data indicated that two common gamma chain cytokines, IL-7 and IL-15, can help to selectively expand CAR-T cells with various memory phenotypes. CAR-T Cells prepared under this condition resulted in improved therapeutic efficacy in preclinical animal models. This clinical investigation is to test a hypothesis whether IL-7/IL-15-programmed anti-CD19 CAR-T cells persist longer in lymphoma patients after infusion and whether the persistency of CAR-T cells can lead to improved anti-lymphoma efficacy.

A phase III multicenter, randomized study with Lenalidomide (Revlimid®) maintenance versus observation after intensified induction regimen containing rituximab followed by high dose chemotherapy and Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation as first line treatment in adult patients with advanced Mantle Cell Lymphoma: IIL study (MCL0208).

Primary endpoint: Time to relapse/progression (TTP) after achieving a complete or partial response with the (R-GemOxD)-induction therapy Secondary endpoints: Quality of response obtained after subcutaneous Rituximab maintenance. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Overall Survival (OS) Time to Next Therapy (TTNT) Value of MRD in the disease outcome Toxicity

The purpose of this study is to: determine the efficiency of EDOCH (etoposide,dexamethasone,doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide and vincristine) alternating with DHAP (cisplatin, cytarabine and dexamethasone) regimen combined with rituximab or not in young mantle cell lymphoma patients (age≤65 years); determine the efficiency of rituximab and thalidomide plus prednisone as maintenance regimens.

This study evaluates adherence to a ketogenic diet in patients with low tumor burden, treatment-naïve mantle cell lymphoma.
