Combination Chemotherapy Plus Rituximab in Treating Patients With Intermediate-Grade or High-Grade Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Unknown
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as rituximab can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one chemotherapy drug with rituximab may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of rituximab plus combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have intermedi... Read More

Combination Chemotherapy Followed By Vaccine Therapy Plus Sargramostim in Treating Patients With Stage III or Stage IV Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Unknown
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Vaccines may make the body build an immune response to kill cancer cells. It is not yet known which regimen of chemotherapy combined with vaccine therapy is more effective for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy followed by vaccine therapy plus sargramostim in treating patients who have stage I... Read More

Cyclophosphamide, VELCADE, DOXIL, and Dexamethasone, (CVDD) in Newly Diagnosed Patients With Multiple Myeloma (MM)
Completed
Cyclophosphamide is a chemotherapy agent with known activity in myeloma. The new regimen that we will test in this study is called CVDD and contains Cyclophosphamide with Bortezomib (VELCADE), Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (DOXIL®, PLD), and Dexamethasone (VDD). The purpose of this study is to determine if the addition of another type of chemotherapy agent, Cyclophosphamide, to the regimen VDD (CVDD) is well tolerated and improves response rates in myeloma. We will also find the highest safe... Read More

Bevacizumab With or Without Cyclophosphamide and Methotrexate: A Pilot Study in Women With Operable Breast Cancer
Completed
The purpose of this research study is to study the effects (good and bad) of bevacizumab alone, bevacizumab with low-dose continuous chemotherapy (called metronomic chemotherapy), or bevacizumab with capecitabine, on you and your cancer. The goals of the study will be to: * Examine the safety of these drugs * See how easy or difficult it is to be treated with them * Monitor for any signs of recurrent cancer * Look at blood markers that might indicate how the treatment is working

ZD6474 (Zactima) and Metronomic Chemotherapy in Advanced Breast Cancer
Completed
The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety and tolerability of the combination of Zactima with metronomic chemotherapy. Zactima is an oral anti-angiogenesis drug, which means it fights cancer by cutting off a tumor's blood supply. Thus, the drug starves the tumor by preventing the delivery of nutrients and oxygen. Metronomic chemotherapy is low dose oral chemotherapy pills which are taken daily. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, metronomic chemotherapy is thought to fight cance... Read More

Antithymocyte Globulin and Cyclosporine in Preventing Graft-Versus-Host Disease in Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy With or Without Radiation Therapy Followed By Donor Stem Cell Transplant for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Unknown
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor bone marrow transplant or peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an im... Read More

RATIONALE: Giving low doses of chemotherapy before a donor 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. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving a monoclonal antibody, such as alemtuzumab,... Read More
