This phase II trial studies how well nivolumab with or without varlilumab works in treating patients with aggressive B-cell lymphomas that have come back (recurrent) or do not respond to treatment (refractory). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as varlilumab and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

Daratumumab for Lymphoma

Bethesda, Maryland
Background: Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL), and Multicentric Castleman Disease (MCD) are aggressive forms of cancer that affects cells in the immune system and lymph nodes. How they develop is not well understood, and these diseases do not respond well to standard treatments for other types of lymphomas. Objective: To test a drug treatment (daratumumab SC) in people with PEL, PBL, or MCD. Eligibility: People aged 18 and older with PEL, PBL, or MCD who must have failed to respond to therapy or they must be unable to receive standard treatment for the disease. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. They will have imaging scans and tests of their heart and lung function. They may need to have a biopsy: tissue or fluid will be collected. They will have an eye exam. Daratumumab SC is given as an injection into the fat under the skin in the abdomen. This takes 3 to 5 minutes. Participants will receive the treatment once a week for 8 weeks; then every 2 weeks for 16 weeks; then every 4 weeks for up to 24 months. Participants will have other tests during the study period. These may include lumbar punctures: A needle will be inserted between the bones of the spine to draw some fluid from the area around the spinal cord. Participants may also have a thoracentesis: A needle or plastic tube will be inserted into the space around the lungs to withdraw fluid. Participants will have more imaging scans and blood tests. Follow-up visits will continue after treatment ends. Participants will be in the study for up to 5 years.

Background: Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a rare disease with no standard treatment. Researchers want to see if a drug called lenalidomide along with common chemotherapy drugs may be effective in treating PEL. Objective: To test a new treatment for PEL. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with PEL. Design: Participants will be screened with blood tests, imaging studies, a physical exam, and other tests. Participants will have tests to evaluate their disease. These may include: Blood tests Scans Lumbar puncture. Fluid around the spinal cord will be removed with a needle. Bone marrow removed with a needle and studied Samples of skin or lymph nodes removed Fluid removed from around organs Lung and eye tests Tubes with cameras taking pictures of airways or digestive tract Participants will take lenalidomide pills for 10 days. They will keep a pill diary. Participants will have a catheter (small tube) placed in the large vein in the arm or chest. Participants will get DA-EPOCH-R as intravenous infusions by catheter over several days. This will be repeated in 21-day cycles. Most participants will have 6 cycles. Participants will get the drug filgrastim by injection under the skin. They will get the drug methotrexate injected into the spinal fluid. During the study, participants will have the following tests done at least once: Medical history Physical exam Blood, urine, and stool tests Lesions photographed and measured Lumbar puncture Participants will have follow-up visits for 5 years. They will repeat the screening tests plus have urine and stool tested. Participants may be contacted later by phone to see how they are doing.

This pilot clinical trial studies gene therapy following combination chemotherapy in treating patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Placing genes that have been shown in the laboratory to inhibit the growth and spread of the immunodeficiency virus (HIV) into the patient's peripheral blood stem cells may improve the body's ability to fight HIV. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving gene therapy after combination chemotherapy may improve the body's ability to fight HIV and AIDS-related non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

This pilot clinical trial studies gene therapy after frontline chemotherapy in treating patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Placing genes for anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) into stem/progenitor cells may make the body build an immune response to AIDS. Giving the chemotherapy drug busulfan before gene therapy can help gene-modified cells engraft and work better.

This trial tests a new treatment where a patient's own immune cells are enhanced to fight difficult-to-treat lymphoma. It targets patients whose cancer hasn't responded to at least two other treatments. The modified cells aim to better recognize and attack the cancer. This new method improves the ability of the patient's immune cells to find and destroy cancer cells.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

"I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Primary Effusion Lymphoma clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Primary Effusion Lymphoma clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Primary Effusion Lymphoma trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Primary Effusion Lymphoma is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Primary Effusion Lymphoma medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Primary Effusion Lymphoma clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Daratumumab for Lymphoma, SGR-1505 for B-Cell Lymphoma and Cell Therapy for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma to the Power online platform.
