NCT04188678
The objective of this research is to measure certain indicators of resiliency to better understand which participants who are over 60 years old will respond more positively to bone marrow transplant. This research is being done to determine if there are traits that make recipients more likely to bounce back following allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT).
NCT00739141
The traditional way of doing a donor transplant is to give high doses of chemotherapy and radiation before giving the stem cells. However, high doses of chemotherapy and radiation can have serious side-effects. The doctors think that the transplant will be safer and more likely to be successful with reduced doses of chemotherapy and radiation. The purpose of this study is to find out how good a combination of chemotherapy and radiation at reduced doses followed by a cord blood transplant are at treating cancer. The stem cells chosen for the transplant are from umbilical cord blood. Umbilical cord blood is collected from healthy newborn babies and frozen. One cord blood collection is called a "cord blood unit." On transplant day, the cord blood will be given through the catheter just like a blood transfusion. Transplants done this way have been successful. However, this type of transplant is fairly new. Therefore, it is important to study it so the doctors can better understand how it works. Most blood or bone marrow transplants using donor stem cells are done as part of a study. When patients are on a study we test new ways of treating them which we think may be better than the old ways. We collect information about the result of this treatment so we can understand how well the treatment works. This is so we can learn better ways to treat our patients.
NCT01647971
The purpose of this study is to determine whether ublituximab is safe and effective in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma who were previously treated with rituximab.
NCT00054834
The purpose of this trial is to determine the safety of 90Y-hLL2 at different dose levels in the treatment of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
NCT01598025
Approximately 30% of patients who are candidates for bone marrow transplants do not have an HLA-matched, or close to matched, donor available. For this reason, doctors have been testing ways to make transplants from HLA-partially matched donors as safe and effective as transplants from HLA-matched donors. This study is being done to test the safety and the treatment results of a specific kind of transplant. In this transplant, blood from two donors will be used. Each donor will share one half of your HLA type. Blood from both donors will be transplanted at the same time.
NCT01326728
Background: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (or allotransplant; donor blood stem cells) have been used with varying degrees of success as an immune therapy for blood-system cancers (leukemias, myelodysplastic syndrome, lymphomas, multiple myeloma, etc.). Some people s cancer remains active (comes back or continues to spread) after an allotransplant, while other peoples cancer disappears and they are hopefully cured. National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers are studying the reasons for these different treatment outcomes, and trying to develop better cancer treatments for people with active cancer after allotransplant. Researchers are collecting data from people who have had allotransplants for a cancer of the blood, whether or not the cancer is in remission, and from their donors. Those with active cancers may be eligible to participate in one of several NIH studies testing treatments for active cancer after allotransplant. Objectives: * To develop a systematic, comprehensive evaluation of individuals with relapsed malignant blood cancers after allotransplant (and, if available, their donors) to identify potential treatment study options * To compare the immune system after allotransplant between people whose cancers are growing with people whose cancers remain in remission. * To compare the immune system after cancer relapse/progression treatment between people whose cancer responds to treatment with those whose cancers continue to grow. Eligibility: * Individuals whose blood system cancer grows or comes back after receiving allotransplant treatment. * Individuals whose blood system cancer is responding or in remission 100 days or more after receiving allotransplant treatment. * Related stem-cell donors of eligible allotransplant recipients. Design: * Participants will be evaluated with a full physical examination, detailed medical history (for recipients, including a history of allotransplant treatment process, side-effects, etc.), and blood tests. Recipients will also have imaging studies, possible tissue biopsies, quality of life questionnaires/assessments, and other tests to evaluate the current state of their cancer, whether active or in remission. In some cases, it may be possible to substitute results from recent tests and/or biopsies. * Healthy related donors will have apheresis to provide white blood cells for study and/or for use in potential treatment options. If stem cells would be medically helpful to a recipient, their donors might be asked to take injections of filgrastim before the apheresis procedure to stimulate the production of stem cells for collection. * As feasible, all recipients will be asked to return to the NIH for detailed follow-up visits in conjunction with 6, 12, and 24 months post-allotransplant evaluations, and may be monitored between visits. * Recipients whose cancers are active and who are found to be eligible for treatment protocols at the NIH will continue to be monitored on this study while participating on treatment protocols. Return visits and follow-up tests for this study will be coordinated with those required by the treatment protocol. * Participants may return in the future to be evaluated for new treatment study options (recipients) or additional cell donations for therapy (donors).
NCT00003500
Current therapies for Refractory or Recurrent Intermediate-Grade Stage II - IV Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma provide very limited benefit to the patient. The anti-cancer properties of Antineoplaston therapy suggest that it may prove beneficial in the treatment of Refractory or Recurrent Intermediate-Grade Stage II - IV Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. PURPOSE: This study is being performed to determine the effects (good and bad) that Antineoplaston therapy has on patients with Refractory or Recurrent Intermediate-Grade Stage II - IV Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
NCT00003501
Current therapies for Refractory or Recurrent High-Grade Stage II - IV Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma provide very limited benefit to the patient. The anti-cancer properties of Antineoplaston therapy suggest that it may prove beneficial in the treatment of Refractory or Recurrent High-Grade Stage II - IV Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. PURPOSE: This study is being performed to determine the effects (good and bad) that Antineoplaston therapy has on patients with Refractory or Recurrent High-Grade Stage II - IV Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
NCT00726934
The purpose of this study is to determine if FDA approved food safety guidelines are equivalent to a low bacterial diet (the neutropenic diet) with respect to the acquisition of infections during neutropenia in a sample of pediatric cancer patients.
NCT00051701
The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal dose of Campath for patients with relapsing or refractory (failed standard therapy) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The study will also evaluate the safety of the drug and whether it is effective in treating these patients.
NCT01517581
White and brown adipocytes differ in their expression of hormones, cytokines, and inflammatory factors, and they modulate different biological functions. While white adipose tissue (WAT) serves as the primary site of energy storage, brown adipose tissue (BAT) instead metabolizes fat to produce heat and regulate body temperature. BAT is likely present in all humans, but the low prevalence of BAT depiction in adults and elderly subjects has hindered longitudinal assessments of the relation between BAT activity and WAT. Under typical imaging conditions, BAT is detected more frequently in children and teenagers than in adults with malignancy. Since most children with cancer have significantly shorter treatment courses and greater survival rates compared to adult patients, the investigators have the ability to examine the relation of repeated measures of body composition and BAT by selecting pediatric patients. In this study, the investigators will longitudinally examine whether BAT activity is related to changes in weight and the amounts of SAT, VAT, and abdominal muscle in children successfully treated for pediatric cancer.
