Clinical Study of Microdosing Carboplatin in Lung or Bladder Cancer
Terminated
Carboplatin kills cancer cells mainly through induction of DNA damage (drug-DNA adducts). The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if chemoresistance to carboplatin can be identified by measuring carboplatin-induced DNA monoadducts, the precursor of Pt-DNA diadducts or crosslinks, from subtherapeutic drug doses given prior to the initiation of chemotherapy. We hypothesize that low levels of carboplatin-DNA monoadducts and rapid drug-DNA adduct repair correlate with chemoresistance. A high... Read More

Rituximab, Combination Chemotherapy, Filgrastim (G-CSF), and Plerixafor in Treating Patients With Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Undergoing Mobilization of Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cells
Completed
This phase II trial is studying how well giving rituximab; ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide (ICE) combination chemotherapy; and filgrastim (G-CSF) together with plerixafor works in treating patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma undergoing mobilization of autologous peripheral blood stem cells. Giving chemotherapy (ICE) with monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or by killing them and helps get better autologous stem cell prod...

A Pilot Study of Immunotherapy Including Haploidentical NK Cell Infusion Following CD133+ Positively-Selected Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cells in Children With High Risk Solid Tumors or Lymphomas
Completed
This is a pilot clinical trial investigating the addition of haploidentical natural killer cell infusion to autologous stem cell transplantation. This intervention will be evaluated in children with high-risk solid tumors for whom autologous transplantation is indicated. Natural killer cells from a haploidentical family member will be given after high dose chemotherapy and positively selected autologous stem cells. In patients with neuroblastoma, the anti-GD2 antibody hu14.18K322A will also be g... Read More

Carboplatin/Pralatrexate in Recurrent Platinum-Sensitive Ovarian, Fallopian or Primary Peritoneal Cancer
Completed
Pralatrexate is a type of antifolate drug which means is restrains the production of folic acid in the body. Folic acids are used by tumors to increase tumor cell growth and division. It is believed that reducing folic acid will hinder the rapid division of tumor cells, their growth and production. Carboplatin is an FDA approved chemotherapy drug for ovarian, fallopian tube and primary peritoneal cancer. Some antifolate drugs are used with other chemotherapy drugs to enhance cancer-fighting char... Read More

Hypofractionated Proton Beam Radiation Therapy, Paclitaxel, and Carboplatin in Treating Patients With Stage II-III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Completed
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of hypofractionated proton beam radiation therapy when given together with paclitaxel and carboplatin in treating patients with stage II-III non-small cell lung cancer. Proton beam radiation therapy is a type of radiation therapy that uses streams of protons (tiny particles with a positive charge) to kill tumor cells. Giving proton beam radiation therapy at higher doses over fewer days (hypofractionation) may improve local control of the... Read More

Carboplatin, Paclitaxel, and Surgery in Treating Patients With Advanced Ovarian Epithelial, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cavity Cancer
Terminated
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or stopping them from dividing. Giving chemotherapy drugs before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving paclitaxel together with carboplatin before surgery works in treating patients with advanced ovarian epithelial canc... Read More
