Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia Clinical Trials

The purpose of this protocol is to collect blood, tissue (bone marrow and lymph node biopsies) and/or imaging studies (PET and CT scans) from patients with monoclonal B cell lymphocytosis (MBL) chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphoma (CLL/SLL), lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL)/Waldenstr(SqrRoot)(Delta)m macroglobulinemia (WM), and splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL). Assessments will be ...

This is a Phase I/II clinical trial. A Phase I clinical trial tests the safety of an investigational drug and also tries to define the appropriate dose of the investigational drug to use for further studies. "Investigational" means that the drug is being studied. The FDA (the U.S. Food and ...

This study is examining a chemotherapy regimen and immune suppressive medications in the setting of an allogeneic stem cell transplant. A pilot clinical trial to characterize the incidence, prevalence and function of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and immune checkpoint regulators (V-domain Ig Suppressor of T-cell Activation [VISTA], cytotoxic T-lymphocyte- associated ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To compare the rate of disease-free survival (DFS) at 1 year post hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) in patients undergoing HSCT treated on this successor Thomas Jefferson University (TJU) 2 Step reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) haploidentical regimen and compare it with that of the initial 2 Step RIC ...

The study will be done in two phases namely phase 1B and phase 2. In the phase 1B component the investigators intend to enroll patients in a 3+3 dose escalation design. Newly diagnosed indolent and diffuse large cell lymphomas as well as relapsed/refractory indolent B cell lymphomas are eligible for ...

Waldenstrm's macroglobulinemia is a rare disease whose pathophysiology remains at present poorly understood, although a recurrent mutation (L265P MYD88) has recently been described. Unlike other lymphoproliferative disorders, there is a defect in isotype switching, mechanism involving AID and NHEJ complex. Using a two-dimensional electrophoresis technology, our group showed that MW ...

B-cell malignancies represent a diverse collection of diseases and, taken together, make up the majority of hematologic malignancies. B-cell lymphomas represent the largest percentage of these neoplasms, and the relapsed and/or refractory B-cell lymphomas have proven very difficult to treat. Success rate, defined as complete or partial response, is as ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare the overall survival (OS) rate at 2 years post treatment using the Jefferson 2 step reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) approach in patients with haploidentical family donors with hematological malignancies in morphological or radiographic remission or with chemosensitive, indolent diseases to historical OS rates in similar ...

Ibrutinib is a selective oral Burton tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Through interfering with the downstream pathways of B-cell receptor signaling, it inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in many B-cell lymphoid malignancies. The clinical benefit of ibrutinib has been demonstrated in patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, mantle cell lymphoma, small lymphocytic ...

The molecule CD32b is thought to be present on many B-cells including the malignant B-cells in some types of lymphoma and leukaemia. The study drug, BI-1206, is an anti-CD32b monoclonal antibody which attaches to CD32b on the surface of B-cells and is thought to act by recruiting host immune cells ...
