Follicular Lymphoma Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to better understand the genetic causes of Hodgkin's disease (a kind of lymphoma) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, as well as multiple myeloma, leukemia, and related diseases. The doctors have identified the patient because 1) they have had a lymphoproliferative disorder such as lymphoma, leukemia, or ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the one year survival of patients undergoing umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) after a myeloablative preparative regimen consisting of cyclophosphamide (CY), fludarabine phosphate (fludarabine [FLU]), and fractionated total body irradiation (TBI). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Incidence of transplant-related mortality (TRM) at 6 months. II. Chimerism at ...

The purpose of this phase I/II trial is to study the side effects and best dose of biological therapy to treat patients at high-risk or with Epstein-Barr virus-associated lymphoma or lymphoproliferative disease.

To prepare the lymphoma, MM or CLL specific T cells investigators will take 240 ml (up to 16 tablespoonfuls)of blood from the patient. This would be drawn as 2 (two) separate blood collections of 120 ml (up to 8 tablespoonfuls) of blood. To get the kappa antibody (with CD28) to ...

Umbilical cord blood donated to the New York Blood Center's National Cord Blood Program is collect, tested, processed, cryoprotected and frozen in liquid nitrogen for possible future transplantation to anyone who needs it. The Program has operated under a FDA IND exemption since 1996 and is licensed as a tissue ...

OBJECTIVES Determine if allogeneic stem cell transplantation using unrelated matched or related haploidentical donor bone marrow or unrelated matched cord blood results in timely, complete, and durable engraftment in patients with previously treated lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Determine the incidence and grade of acute and chronic graft-versus-host ...

Idiotypic vaccination has already proved capable (in responding patients) of: biological efficacy, that is the capacity of inducing an idiotype- and tumor-specific immune response (Kwak LW et al. NEJM 1992); clinical efficacy, that is the capacity of inducing specific immune responses able to kill in vivo follicular lymphoma cells that ...

The purpose of this study is to obtain tissue samples for ongoing studies regarding transplant outcomes and complications.

OBJECTIVES Primary Determine the 1-year survival of patients undergoing unrelated umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) for hematologic malignancies treated with myeloablative preparative regimen comprising fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and fractionated total-body irradiation. Secondary Determine the incidence of transplant-related mortality at 6 months after UCBT. Evaluate the pattern of chimerism after double UCBT. ...

Myeloablative hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation (HPCT) remains the standard of care for patients requiring HPCT. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the morbidity and mortality of myeloablative HPCT at Children's Memorial Hospital. It will also look to determine the toxicity of a single conditioning regimen consisting of total ...
