The purpose of ths study is to find out more about the side effects of two new drug combinations for lymphoma, TTI-621 and pembrolizumab and TTI-622 and pembrolizumab, and what doses of TTI-621 and TTI-622 are safe for people to take.  In addition, we want to learn if the drug combinations help your cancer.

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and anti-tumor activity of GEN3017 as a monotherapy in participants with relapsed or refractory (R/R) CD30-expressing lymphomas.  GEN3017 will be administered via subcutaneous injections.  All participants will receive active drug; no one will be given placebo.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of STP938 as a single agent in adult subjects with R/R B-cell and T-cell lymphomas.

This is a Phase 1b, open-label, multi-center study comprising a lead-in phase and an expansion phase. The lead-in phase is a multiple-dose, randomized, parallel-arm, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study of avelumab as a single agent in adult patients with cHL. Patients enrolled in the lead-in phase of this study are required to have relapsed following a prior autologous or allogeneic HSCT, or to be ineligible for HSCT. Based on the preliminary TO, safety, and efficacy results from the lead-in phase, the expansion phase will evaluate the anti-tumor activity and safety of single-agent avelumab utilizing an intra-patient dose escalation paradigm based on two of the dosing regimens studied in the lead-in phase in 40 cHL patients in whom an allogeneic HSCT has failed.

This is a study of CDX-1127, a therapy that targets the immune system and may act to promote anti-cancer effects. The study enrolls patients with hematologic cancers (certain leukemias and lymphomas), as well as patients with select types of solid tumors.

Multicenter, open-label, phase 1a/1b trial of TTI-621 in subjects with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies and selected solid tumors.

The purpose of this study is to establish a dosing regimen for the combination therapy of AFM13 and pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) and to assess the safety and tolerability of this combination therapy.

This research study is studying Daratumumab as a possible treatment for Waldenström Macroglobulinemia.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, drug/body interactions, and preliminary activity of LAM-002A for the treatment of patients who have B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that has returned or is resistant to treatment. 

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ipilimumab and nivolumab when given together with brentuximab vedotin in treating patients with Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned after a period of improvement or has not responded to previous treatment. Monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab and nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Brentuximab vedotin is a combining monoclonal antibody with an anticancer drug that binds to a protein on the surface of lymphoma cells called cluster of differentiation (CD)30 and may kill the cells. Giving ipilimumab or nivolumab or both with brentuximab vedotin may kill more cancer cells.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Nivolumab, in combination with brentuximab vedotin, is safe and effective in patients with certain subtypes of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas with CD30 expression that have not responded to treatment or have come back. The subtypes we are studying are Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma (PTCL), Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL), Primary Mediastinal Large B-Cell Lymphoma (PMBL) and Mediastinal Gray Zone Lymphoma (MGZL).

The study is intended to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of AZD7789 in patients with relapsed/refractory classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (r/r cHL).

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, effectiveness and strongest tolerated dose of lenalidomide when given together with a standard chemotherapy to treat patients who have newly diagnosed stage II-IV peripheral T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine sulfate, and etoposide, 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. Lenalidomide may stop the growth of peripheral T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for cancer growth. Giving combination chemotherapy with lenalidomide may be a better treatment for peripheral T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

The purpose of this study is to use pembrolizumab for patients with relapsed or hard to treat classical Hodgkins Lymphoma. The primary study hypothesis is that treatment with single agent pembrolizumab will result in a clinically meaningful overall response rate.

This phase II trial studies how well combination chemotherapy and pralatrexate works in treating patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). 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

The purpose of this study is to determine how well nivolumab with or without varlilumab works in treating patients with aggressive B-cell lymphomas that have come back or do not respond to treatment. Monoclonal antibodies, such as varlilumab and nivolumab, may work by stimulating the immune system to attack cancer tumor cells.

This randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and the best dose of temsirolimus when given together with bortezomib, rituximab, and dexamethasone and to see how well they work compared to bortezomib, rituximab, and dexamethasone alone in treating patients with untreated or relapsed Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia or relapsed or refractory mantle cell or follicular lymphoma. Bortezomib and temsirolimus may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Bortezomib may also stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in difference 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, such as dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether bortezomib, rituximab, and dexamethasone are more effective with temsirolimus in treating non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical benefit of Nivolumab, as measured by independent radiologic review committee (IRRC)-assessed objective response rate (ORR) in subjects with FL lymphoma who have failed therapy with both CD20 antibody and an alkylating agent.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Nivolumab is effective in the treatment of DLBCL in patients that have failed or are ineligible for ASCT

This phase II trial evaluates how well AVD (doxorubicin hydrochloride, vinblastine, dacarbazine) in combination with brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab work in treating patients with stage I-II Hodgkin lymphoma. Drugs used in the chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, vinblastine, dacarbazine, and brentuximab vedotin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, and/or by stopping them from spreading. Targeted agent, such as nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread by enhancing the immune system. Giving doxorubicin hydrochloride, vinblastine, dacarbazine, brentuximab vedotin, and nivolumab may improve survival of patients with stage I-II Hodgkin lymphoma.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of Camidanlumab Tesirine (ADCT-301) in participants with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL).

The longer follow-up on the subjects will improve the validity on any conclusions made from the IRB study #13-001285.

The standard chemotherapy for Hodgkin lymphoma is called ABVD which is a combination of 4 chemotherapy drugs (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine). The number of cycles of ABVD chemotherapy Hodgkin lymphoma patients receive is about 4-6 cycles. In addition to the ABVD chemotherapy, patients with Hodgkin lymphoma will routinely receive radiation therapy. The use of chemotherapy and radiation may cause long term treatment related side effects such as heart problems and other cancers. Researchers are trying to find if combining ABVD chemotherapy with new drugs and reducing the number of ABVD chemotherapy cycles given is just as effective as the standard Hodgkin treatment. Brentuximab vedotin is approved by the United States Food and Drug administration (FDA) for the treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back (relapsed). For this research study, the use of brentuximab vedotin in newly diagnosed Hodgkin lymphoma is considered investigational. Brentuximab vedotin is an antibody that also has a chemotherapy drug attached to it. Antibodies are proteins that are part of your immune system. They can stick to and attack specific targets on cells. The antibody part of the brentuximab vedotin sticks to a target called cluster of differentiation antigen 30 (CD30). CD30 is an important molecule on some cancer cells and some normal cells of the immune system. The purpose of this research study is to see the effects of treatment with fewer cycles of the combination chemotherapy, ABVD, followed by the study drug brentuximab vedotin has on study participants and Hodgkins lymphoma.

The purpose of this study is to determine the side effects of treatment with Nivolumab by itself or in combination in patients with relapsed/refractory hematologic malignancies.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Nivolumab in previously treated (cohorts, A, B & C) or newly diagnosed (cohort D) classical Hodgkin Lymphoma subjects.

Study B9991011 is a multi-center, international, randomized, open label, 2 component (Phase 1b followed by Phase 3), parallel-arm study of avelumab in combination with various agents for the treatment of Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL).

Patients with previously untreated low tumor burden indolent Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) will receive either rituximab or GA101 weekly for 4 weeks followed by re-staging to determine response.

Rituximab, an anti-CD20 chimeric antibody, was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration in 1998 for the treatment of patients with relapsed low-grade B-cell lymphomas. Clinically, four weekly doses of rituximab have proven to be well tolerated and effective in previously untreated as well as relapsed patients with low-grade lymphoma.

GA101 is an anti-CD20 humanized and glyco-engineered monoclonal antibody. GA101 has been shown to have increased antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and direct cell-death induction compared to Rituximab. It is possible that GA101 may have greater efficacy than rituximab.

PrE0401 Sub-Study Evaluation of Corrected QT (QTc) Interval and Pharmacokinetic Parameters in Patients Participating in GA101 (Obinutuzumab)

Approximately twenty-five patients randomized to GA101 may participate in the sub-study. Electrocardiograms and blood samples will be obtained.

This phase II trial studies the side effects of ibrutinib citrate when given with ixazomib, and determines how well they work in treating participants with Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Enzyme inhibitors, such as ibrutinib and ixazomib citrate, may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This phase II trial studies how well nivolumab and brentuximab vedotin work in treating older patients with untreated Hodgkin lymphoma. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may block cancer growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Biological therapies, such as brentuximab vedotin, use substances made from living organisms that may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Nivolumab and brentuximab vedotin may work better in treating older patients with untreated Hodgkin lymphoma.

This is an open-label, multi-center, dose escalation study of REGN1979 administered as an IV (intravenous) infusion. This phase 1 study will investigate the safety and tolerability of REGN1979 in patients with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)

The purpose of this study is to compare immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab or brentuximab vedotin) when given with combination chemotherapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed stage III or IV classic Hodgkin lymphoma. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Brentuximab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, brentuximab, linked to a toxic agent called vedotin. Brentuximab attaches to cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine, 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. The addition of nivolumab or brentuximab vedotin to combination chemotherapy may shrink the cancer or extend the time without disease symptoms coming back.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety profile and antitumor activity of brentuximab vedotin administered in combination with nivolumab in patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma (HL)

This trial will look at a drug called SGN-TGT (an anti-TIGIT antibody) to find out whether it is safe for patients with solid tumors and lymphomas. It will study SGN-TGT to find out what its side effects are. A side effect is anything the drug does besides treating cancer. It will also study whether SGN-TGT works to treat solid tumors and lymphomas. The study will have four groups or "parts." Part A of the study will find out how much SGN-TGT should be given to patients. Part B will use the dose found in Part A to find out how safe SGN-TGT is and if it works to treat solid tumors and lymphomas. Part C will study how well SGN-TGT with a PD-(L)1 inhibitor works to treat solid tumors. PD-(L)1 inhibitors are drugs that can be used to treat these types of cancer. Part D will study how well SGN-TGT with brentuximab vedotin works to treat classical Hodgkin lymphoma.
