Multiple Therapies in Treating Patients With Advanced Neuroblastoma
Completed
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Biological therapie... Read More

Neoadjuvant or Adjuvant Epirubicin, Cyclophosphamide, and Paclitaxel in Treating Women With Stage I, Stage II, or Stage III Breast Cancer
Completed
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as epirubicin, cyclophosphamide, and paclitaxel, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving chemotherapy drugs before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed during surgery. Giving chemotherapy drugs after surgery may kill any remaining tumor cells. PURPOSE: Pilot trial to study the effectiveness of neoadjuvant or adjuvant epirubicin, cyclophosphamide, and paclitaxel in treating women who ha... Read More

Interleukin-2 or Observation Following Radiation Therapy, Combination Chemotherapy, and Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Recurrent Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Completed
Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of interleukin-2 with that of observation following radiation therapy, combination chemotherapy, and peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have refractory or relapsed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cells. Giving interleukin-2 after radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and peripheral stem cell transplantation may kill more cancer cells

Combination Chemotherapy With or Without Monoclonal Antibody Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage III or Stage IV Low-Grade Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Completed
Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of two regimens of combination chemotherapy followed by rituximab or observation in treating patients who have stage III or stage IV low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells. Monoclonal antibodies such as rituximab can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing... Read More

Conditioning Regimen in Nonmyeloablative Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
Terminated
Primary Objectives: 1. To compare the overall survival of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients undergoing HLA-matched related donor nonmyeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (NST) using fludarabine-melphalan (FM) versus fludarabine-cyclophosphamide (FC) conditioning regimen. 2. To assess both cytotoxic T lymphocyte reactivity and antibodies activity against potential tumor antigenic peptides involved in graft-versus-RCC effect. Secondary Objectives: 1. To s... Read More

Plerixafor and Filgrastim Following Cyclophosphamide for Stem Cell Mobilization in Patients With Multiple Myeloma
Completed
RATIONALE: There are different methods of stem cell mobilization, such as using colony-stimulating factors alone or following chemotherapy priming. More recently, the combination of plerixafor and colony-stimulating factors has been shown to enhance stem cell mobilization. This study will assess whether the combination of plerixafor and Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) is effective following chemotherapy mobilization with cyclophosphamide.
