Epcoritamab and Lenalidomide in Treating Patients With Refractory or Relapsed Immunodeficiency-Related Large B-Cell Lymphoma
Description

This phase II trial tests how well the combination of epcoritamab and lenalidomide work in treating patients with immunodeficiency-related large B-cell lymphoma that does not respond to treatment (refractory) or that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed). Epcoritamab is an immunotherapy that engages T-cells in the immune system to help redirect their killing effects against lymphoma cells. Lenalidomide can modulate the immune system to enhance killing effects of lymphoma by the immune system as well. Giving patients a combination of epcoritamab and lenalidomide may work better in treating refractory or relapsed immunodeficiency-related large B-cell lymphoma.

RECRUITING
Epcoritamab for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Post Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorders
Description

This phase Ib trial tests the safety and effectiveness of epcoritamab in treating patients with post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Epcoritamab, a bispecific antibody, binds to a protein called CD3, which is found on T cells (a type of white blood cell). It also binds to a protein called CD20, which is found on B cells (another type of white blood cell) and some lymphoma cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Giving epcoritamab may be safe and effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell PTLD.

RECRUITING
Loncastuximab Tesirine for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory B-Cell Malignancies
Description

This phase II trial tests whether loncastuximab tesirine works to shrink tumors in patients with B-cell malignancies that have come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Loncastuximab tesirine is a monoclonal antibody, called loncastuximab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called tesirine. Loncastuximab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as CD19 receptors, and delivers tesirine to kill them.

Rituximab and LMP-Specific T-Cells in Treating Pediatric Solid Organ Recipients With EBV-Positive, CD20-Positive Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder
Description

This pilot phase II trial studies how well rituximab and latent membrane protein (LMP)-specific T-cells work in treating pediatric solid organ recipients with Epstein-Barr virus-positive, cluster of differentiation (CD)20-positive post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. LMP-specific T-cells are special immune system cells trained to recognize proteins found on post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder tumor cells if they are infected with Epstein-Barr virus. Giving rituximab and LMP-specific T-cells may work better in treating pediatric organ recipients with post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder than rituximab alone.

COMPLETED
Salvia Hispanica Seed in Reducing Risk of Disease Recurrence in Patients With Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Description

This pilot clinical trial studies Salvia hispanica seed in reducing the risk of returning disease (recurrence) in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Functional foods, such as Salvia hispanica seed, has health benefits beyond basic nutrition by reducing disease risk and promoting optimal health. Salvia hispanica seed contains essential poly-unsaturated fatty acids, including omega 3 alpha linoleic acid and omega 6 linoleic acid; it also contains high levels of antioxidants and dietary soluble fiber. Salvia hispanica seed may raise omega-3 levels in the blood and/or change the bacterial populations that live in the digestive system and reduce the risk of disease recurrence in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Cellular Immunotherapy Following Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Recurrent Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, or B-Cell Prolymphocytic Leukemia
Description

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of cellular immunotherapy following chemotherapy in treating patients with non-Hodgkin lymphomas, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, or B-cell prolymphocytic leukemia that has come back. Placing a modified gene into white blood cells may help the body build an immune response to kill cancer cells.

ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING
Genetically Modified T-cell Infusion Following Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplant in Treating Patients With Recurrent or High-Risk Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Description

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of genetically modified T-cells following peripheral blood stem cell transplant in treating patients with recurrent or high-risk non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Giving chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer 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. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Removing the T cells from the donor cells before transplant may stop this from happening. Giving an infusion of the donor's T cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) later may help the patient's immune system see any remaining cancer cells as not belonging in the patient's body and destroy them (called graft-versus-tumor effect)

COMPLETED

TERMINATED
BEAM vs. 90-Yttrium Ibritumomab Tiuxetan (Zevalin®)/BEAM With ASCT for Relapsed DLBCL
Description

This randomized phase III trial studies 90-yttrium ibritumomab tiuxetan and combination chemotherapy compared with combination chemotherapy alone before stem cell transplant in treating patients with diffuse large b-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned after a period of improvement. Radioactive substances linked to monoclonal antibodies, such as 90-yttrium ibritumomab tiuxetan, can bind to cancer cells and give off radiation which may help kill cancer cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carmustine, etoposide phosphate, cytarabine, and melphalan (BEAM), work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether 90-yttrium ibritumomab tiuxetan and BEAM before a stem cell transplant are more effective than BEAM alone in treating patients with diffuse large b-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

TERMINATED
High-Dose Y-90-Ibritumomab Tiuxetan Added to Reduced-Intensity Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant Regimen for Relapsed or Refractory Aggressive B-Cell Lymphoma
Description

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well high-dose yttrium-90 (Y-90)-ibritumomab tiuxetan (anti-cluster of differentiation \[CD\]20) followed by fludarabine phosphate, low-dose total body irradiation (TBI), and donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant (PBSCT) work in treating patients with aggressive B-cell lymphoma that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as Y-90-ibritumomab tiuxetan, can find cancer cells and carry cancer-killing substances to them with less effect on normal cells. Giving chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate, and TBI before a donor PBSCT helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. However, high-dose radiolabeled antibodies also destroy healthy blood cells in the patient's body. When healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient (stem cell transplant), they may help the patient's body replace these blood cells. Giving high-dose Y-90-ibritumomab tiuxetan followed by fludarabine phosphate, TBI, and donor PBSCT may be an effective treatment for patients with B-cell lymphoma.
