6 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate a new drug Pembrolizumab in combination with chemotherapy, for Relapsed/Refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma. The chemotherapy regimen is called "ICE" and includes three drugs: ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide. Pembrolizumab is currently Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for the treatment of some patients with melanoma, lung cancer and head and neck cancer, but has not yet been approved for the treatment of Relapsed/Refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma. The 'ICE' regimen of chemotherapy is currently FDA approved for the treatment of Relapsed/Refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma, but has not yet been investigated in combination with pembrolizumab for this disease. For patients who have a relapse of their Hodgkin's lymphoma, retreatment with chemotherapy followed by a stem cell transplant is recommended. We know that obtaining a complete remission (not able to detect any disease on scans) is very important prior to proceeding to the stem cell transplant. Patients with negative scans have a lower chance of the disease coming back and a higher chance of achieving a long-term cure.
This phase II trial studies how well brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab work in treating patients with stage I-II classic Hodgkin lymphoma. Brentuximab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, brentuximab, linked to a toxic agent called vedotin. Brentuximab attaches to CD30 positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate a new drug pembrolizumab in combination with chemotherapy, for the treatment of newly diagnosed Hodgkin lymphoma. The chemotherapy regimen is called AVD and includes three drugs: adriamycin, vinblastin, dacarbazine. Pembrolizumab is currently FDA approved for the treatment of some patients with melanoma, lung cancer and head and neck cancer, but has not yet been approved for the treatment of Hodgkins Lymphoma. The AVD regimen of chemotherapy is currently FDA approved for the treatment of newly diagnosed Hodgkin lymphoma, but has not yet been investigated in combination with pembrolizumab for this disease. For patients who have a new diagnosis of Hodgkins Lymphoma, multi-agent chemotherapy is recommended. Also, for patients who do not have a complete response to chemotherapy (meaning there is still evidence of disease on PET scans performed at the end of treatment), radiation is sometimes recommended. Furthermore, the rare patient who relapses after chemotherapy requires treatment with high dose chemotherapy and a transplant.
This study evaluated the efficacy of oral panobinostat in participants with refractory/relapsed classical Hodgkins lymphoma (HL) who have received prior treatment with high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant. Safety of panobinostat also was assessed. Other markers that may correlate with efficacy or safety were explored.
Primary Objectives: 1. To determine the toxicity profile of multiple doses of bortezomib when given with ICE in patients with relapsed and refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). 2. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of bortezomib when given in combination with ICE chemotherapy in patients with relapsed and refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Secondary Objectives: - To determine the overall response rate and complete response rate in patients with relapsed and refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL).
This study will assess RAD001 in patients with refractory or relapsed Hodgkin Lymphoma that has progressed after high-dose chemotherapy and Autologous Stem cell transplant and/or after gemcitabine- or vinorelbine- or vinblastine-based treatment.
