Cyclophosphamide Treatment Options in New York

This is a phase I/II open label, multi-center study of azacytidine in combination with standard RCHOP therapy in patients with DLBCL. Patients will be treated with azacytidine at escalating doses on days 1-5, followed by standard dose rituximab plus CHOP chemotherapy on day 8, every 21 days. Patients will be treated for a total 6 cycles. The phase II portion will then evaluate efficacy of the combination at the established MTD. Read Less

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage cancer cells. Giving combination chemotherapy together with radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well giving chemotherapy together with radiation therapy works in treating patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has relapsed in the CNS and/or testes.

The rationale of the current study is to explore the use of combination chemotherapy together with antiretroviral agents in order to determine the efficacy and toxicity of this approach, while also examining markers of virus replication and expression, and tumor cell proliferation to gain understanding of the biological basis of this malignancy and to identify predictors of response.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug and giving them in different ways may kill more cancer cells. It is not yet known which regimen of combination chemotherapy is more effective for acute lymphoblastic leukemia PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare different regimens of combination chemotherapy in treating children who have newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage cancer cells. Combining chemotherapy with monoclonal antibody therapy and radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus rituximab and radiation therapy in treating patients who have stage I or stage II non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

CMF (cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, fluorouracil) is used to treat early stage breast cancer. The combination, of these three drugs, has been used for approximately 30 years in the treatment of breast cancer, and has been shown to be safe and effective. It is usually given every 3 weeks. Doctors believe, based on other breast cancer trials, that giving this type of chemotherapy in a shorter amount of time, every 2 weeks or sooner, instead of every 3 weeks, may be better. The purpose of this study is to test the safety of these drugs, given every 2 weeks or sooner, to treat breast cancer. Other breast cancer chemotherapy regimens have shown to be more beneficial when the drugs are given more frequently. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to examine the safety of a single dose of RG2077 in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who are currently receiving cyclophosphamide. This study will also determine if RG2077 is effective in decreasing disease activity in these patients. Study hypothesis: CTLA4-Ig mediates a T cell costimulatory blockade that effectively induces an antigen-specific nonresponsiveness in T cells. Read Less

This open-label, 2-arm, nonrandomized, multicenter, Phase Ib study will investigate the safety and efficacy of obinutuzumab (RO5072759; GA101) administered in combination with chemotherapy (bendamustine or fludarabine + cyclophosphamide \[FC\] regimens) in participants with previously untreated cluster of differentiation 20 (CD20)-positive B-CLL. Participants will be enrolled to receive a maximum of 6 cycles of obinutuzumab (1000 milligrams \[mg\] intravenous \[IV\] infusion, on Days 1, 8 and 15 of Cycle 1 and Day 1 of Cycles 2 - 6) plus bendamustine (90 milligrams per meter square \[mg/m\^2\] IV, on Days 2 and 3 of Cycle 1 and Days 1 and 2 of Cycles 2 - 6) on 28 day cycles or a maximum of 6 cycles of obinutuzumab (1000 mg IV infusion, on Days 1, 8 and 15 of Cycle 1 and Day 1 of Cycles 2 - 6) plus FC (fludarabine 25 mg/m\^2 IV on Days 2, 3 and 4 of Cycle 1 and Days 1, 2 and 3 of Cycles 2 - 6; cyclophosphamide 250 mg/m\^2 IV on Days 2, 3 and 4 of Cycle 1 and Days 1, 2 and 3 of Cycles 2 - 6) on 28 day cycles.

This pilot, phase II trial studies the side effects of giving bortezomib together with combination chemotherapy and to see how well it works in treating young patients with relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving bortezomib together with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. Read Less

This is a randomized, open-label, multi-center, phase 2 study of RCHOP with or without VELCADE in adult patients with previously untreated non-(Germinal B-Cell-like) GCB Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). The study will determine whether the addition of VELCADE to RCHOP improves progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with non-GCB DLBCL. Read Less

RATIONALE: Thalidomide may stop the growth of cancer cells by stopping blood flow to the cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplant may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells. Giving thalidomide before and after peripheral stem cell transplant may be effective in treating newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving thalidomide with chemotherapy and peripheral stem cell transplant work in treating patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of standardized systemic therapy versus fluocinolone acetonide implant therapy for the treatment of severe cases of non-infectious intermediate uveitis, posterior uveitis, or panuveitis. Read Less
