NCT01120834
This will be a phase I/II study of 5-azacitidine in combination with vorinostat in patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL. Combination therapy with methyltransferase inhibitors and histone deacetylase inhibitors is highly synergistic in DLBCL cells, and both classes of drugs can also synergize powerfully with standard anti-lymphoma chemotheraputics such as doxorubicin in pre-clinical studies. We hypothesize that azacytidine + vorinostat combination therapy will be safe and effective in selected patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL. We also hypothesize that patients demonstrating objective responses to this combination therapy display specific epigenetic signatures, and that a biomarker or gene classifier can be generated which will identify those patients likely to respond.
NCT00594815
The purpose of this study is to find out if immunotherapy (rituximab) added to chemotherapy is a safe treatment for primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). PCNSL is a rare tumor. It is usually treated with chemotherapy and radiation. This combination prolongs survival, but about half of patients relapse. The investigators hope that the addition of rituximab will improve the control of the tumor.
NCT01118013
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy, such as busulfan and fludarabine phosphate, before a peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving methotrexate, tacrolimus, and antithymocyte globulin before and after the transplant may stop this from happening. Once the donated stem cells begin working, the patient's immune system may see the remaining cancer cells as not belonging in the patient's body and destroy them (called graft-versus-tumor effect). Giving an infusion of the donor's white blood cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) may boost this effect. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well donor stem cell transplant works in treating patients with relapsed hematologic malignancies or secondary myelodysplasia previously treated with high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant .
