Cyclophosphamide Treatment Options in Texas

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. 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 rituximab together with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving rituximab together with combination chemotherapy works in treating older patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to compare active immunotherapy (OPT-822/OPT-821) with PBS in combination with low dose cyclophosphamide, in post-treated metastatic breast cancer subjects with stable disease or response to treatment. Read Less

RATIONALE: 1. . To compare the effects on breast cancer of three different combinations of drugs which are commonly used to treat this disease. 2. . It is not yet known which treatment regimen is most effective for breast cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy given with or without epoetin alfa in treating women who have undergone surgery for stage I, stage II, or stage III breast cancer.

The primary objective is to estimate the overall event-free survival of children at least one year of age at diagnosis who are treated with risk-directed therapy and to monitor the molecular remission induction rate. Read Less

The trial will determine the value of adding bevacizumab to chemotherapy plus trastuzumab in patients with resected node-positive or high risk node-negative, HER2-positive breast cancer. Read Less

Nelarabine has shown significant activity in patients with T-cell malignancies. This study will determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose of the combination of nelarabine, cyclophosphamide and etoposide in patients with first bone marrow relapse of T-ALL, or first relapse of T-LL. Read Less

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if treatment with two types of chemotherapy combinations can help to control peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Read Less

Primary objective: * To determine the safety of adback T- or Natural Killer (NK) cells in patients with lymphoid malignancies receiving allogeneic stem cell transplantation with Campath-IH containing conditioning regimen. Secondary objective: * To determine the efficacy (disease-free-survival) of this strategy. Read Less

Primary: Evaluate safety, feasibility, persistence, and anti-tumor effect of infused haploidentical donor-derived natural killer (NK) cells and low-dose interleukin-2 (IL-2). Secondary: * Quantification of cytokine levels; * Assessment of NK cell immunophenotype and function. Read Less

This randomized phase III trial studies doxorubicin hydrochloride, cyclophosphamide, paclitaxel, and trastuzumab to see how well they work compared to combination chemotherapy alone in treating women with breast cancer that is human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive and has spread to the lymph nodes or high-risk and has not spread to the lymph nodes. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. It is not yet known whether combination chemotherapy is more effective with or without trastuzumab in treating breast cancer. Read Less

To compare R-CHOP plus enzastaurin versus R-CHOP for progression-free survival (PFS) time measured in participants with intermediate and/or high risk for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) receiving first-line treatment. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to learn if the biomarker information obtained (learned or received) from the earlier studies can tell us whether or not Taxotere and/or Adriamycin/Cytoxan can cause tumors to become smaller. Read Less
