7 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This phase II trial tests the effectiveness of golcadomide and rituximab as bridging treatment before chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in patients with aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Patients that are able to receive CAR T-cell therapy have a potential for cure, however, many will not be qualified to receive therapy due to relapse. Bridging therapy is therapy intended to transition a patient from one therapy or medication to another or maintain their health or status until they are a candidate for a therapy or have decided on a therapy. Golcadomide may help block the formation, growth or spread of cancer cells. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody. It binds to a protein called CD20, which is found on B cells (a type of white blood cell) and some types of cancer cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Giving golcadomide and rituximab as bridging therapy before CAR T-cell therapy may kill more tumor cells and may improve the chance of proceeding to CAR T-cell therapy in patients with relapsed or refractory aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of tegavivint in treating patients with large b-cell lymphomas that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Tegavivint may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving tegavivint may help control the disease.
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of combination therapy with tazemetostat and belinostat in treating patients with lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Tazemetostat is in a class of medications called EZH2 inhibitors. The EZH2 gene provides instructions for making a type of enzyme called histone methyltransferase which is involved in gene expression and cell division. Blocking EZH2 may help keep cancer cells from growing. Belinostat is in a class of medications called histone deacetylase inhibitors. Histone deacetylases are enzymes needed for cell division. Belinostat may kill cancer cells by blocking histone deacetylase. It may also prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow and may help make cancer cells easier to kill with other anticancer drugs. There is some evidence in animals and in living human cells that combination therapy with tazemetostat and belinostat can shrink or stabilize cancer, but it is not known whether this will happen in people. This trial may help doctors learn more about treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory lymphoma.
This phase II trial studies how well nivolumab with or without varlilumab works in treating patients with aggressive B-cell lymphomas that have come back (recurrent) or do not respond to treatment (refractory). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as varlilumab and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide when given in combination with rituximab and nivolumab and how well they work in treating participants with non-germinal center type diffuse large B cell lymphoma or primary central nervous system lymphoma that has come back or isn't responding to treatment. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab and nivolumab, may interfere with ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide, 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. Giving rituximab, lenalidomide, and nivolumab may work better in treating participants with diffuse large B cell lymphoma.
This is a pilot study; patients will receive 131-I apamistamab prior to CAR T-cell infusion in order to determine the maximum tolerated dose of 131-I apamistamab is exceeded at 75 mCi, and if so, to assess the safety of a step-down dose of 50 mCi.
Background: Burkitt Lymphoma (BL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are aggressive B cell lymphomas. Frontline treatment does not always work. Researchers want to see if a combination of drugs can help. Objective: To learn if it is safe to give people with certain cancers copanlisib together with rituximab and combination chemotherapy dose-adjusted etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and rituximab (DA-EPOCH-R). Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with relapsed and/or refractory highly aggressive B-cell lymphomas such as BL and certain types of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. A needle will be put into their hipbone. Marrow will be removed. Imaging scans of the chest, abdomen, pelvis, and/or brain Tumor biopsy (if needed) Blood and urine tests Heart function tests Treatment will be given in 21-day cycles for up to 6 cycles. Participants will get copanlisib by intravenous (IV) infusion. They will also get a group of medicines called DA-EPOCH-R, as follows. They will get rituximab by IV infusion. Doxorubicin, etoposide, and vincristine will be mixed together in an IV bag and given by continuous IV infusion over 4 days. They will get cyclophosphamide by IV infusion. They will take prednisone by mouth. Participants will have frequent study visits. At these visits, they will repeat some screening tests. They may give tissue, saliva, and cheek swab samples. They will have at least one spinal tap. For this, a needle will be inserted into the spinal canal. Fluid will be removed. Participants will have a visit 30 days after treatment ends. They will have follow-up visits for at least 5 years.
