A Clinical Study of MK-1045 in People With Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (MK-1045-008)

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat 2 types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) called follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). FL is a slow-growing type of NHL. DLBCL is a fast-growing type of NHL. NHL is a cancer in the lymphatic system that causes swollen lymph nodes. The lymphatic system is part of the immune system. In this study, researchers want to learn if MK-1045 can treat FL and DLBCL. MK-1045 is a study treatment that is an immunotherapy, which helps the immune system fight cancer. The goals of this study are to learn how safe MK-1045 is and if people tolerate it. Researchers also want to see if FL and DLBCL respond (the cancer gets smaller or goes away) to treatment.

Biospecimen Procurement for Center for Immuno-Oncology Immunotherapy Protocols

Background: Cancer has a major impact in the United States and across the world. In 2015, over 1.5 million new cases of cancer were diagnosed in the U.S. Researchers want to study samples from people with cancer or a pre-malignant condition. They hope to develop more effective treatments. Objective: To better understand the biology of malignancies and why certain cancers respond differently to treatment. Eligibility: Adults at least 18 years old with cancer or a pre-cancerous condition. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. Their diagnosis will be confirmed by the NCI Laboratory of Pathology. Participants will send tissue blocks or slides from their original tumor biopsy. At least once, participants will have a medical history, physical exam, and blood and urine tests. Participants may have the following tests. They may have them more than once: Apheresis. A needle in one arm removes blood. Blood is run through a machine and the sample cells are taken out. The rest of the blood is returned by a needle in the other arm. Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. The hipbone will be numbed. A needle will be put into the hipbone. Bone marrow will be taken out through the needle. Piece of cancer tissue taken by a needle and syringe. Computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or positron emission tomography (PET) scan or ultrasound to help locate their tumor. For the scans, they lie in a machine that takes pictures. A small piece of skin removed. Participants will be contacted by phone once a year to find out how they are doing.

This entry-into-human study is divided into a dose-escalation stage (Part I and Part II) and a dose expansion stage (Part III).

Tissue Collection for Studies of Lymph Cancer

Background: \- Lab studies help researchers better understand cancer biology. This information may lead to new methods for diagnosing or treating cancer. To develop these studies, researchers want to collect samples from people with cancer or precancer conditions of the lymph system. These conditions include multiple myeloma, different types of lymphoma, and adult leukemia/lymphoma. The samples collected will include blood, urine, bone marrow, and tumor and skin tissue. Objectives: \- To collect tissue samples to study different types of lymph cancer. Eligibility: \- Individuals at least 18 years of age who have a lymphoid cancer or precancer condition. Design: * Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. * Different samples will be collected for study. Blood samples will be collected at the initial testing. More blood samples will be collected at different treatment points. Other liquid samples include urine, bone marrow, and any abnormal fluid. Tumor tissue and skin tissue biopsies will also be collected for study. * Treatment will not be provided as part of this study.

Genome Expression in Lymphoma, Leukemia and Multiple Myeloma

This study will use genomics-based technology, such as DNA microarrays, to more precisely diagnose subsets of lymphoma, leukemia and multiple myeloma patients. There have been many attempts to classify lymphoid cancers in ways that will be useful for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Although broad diagnostic categories have been reliably defined, patients within each category have distinct clinical courses, suggesting that these classifications could be further divided into molecular (genetic) subtypes. For example, 40 percent of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma achieve long-term disease remissions following combination chemotherapy and are apparently cured, whereas the remaining 60 percent die from the disease. Similarly, some patients with follicular lymphoma develop aggressive disease within a few years of diagnosis, while others have stable disease over 10 to 20 years. Although the distinctions in clinical course of these diseases are recognized, there are no studies to determine the molecular (genetic) basis for this variability. This study will try to define new molecular diagnostic categories in these diseases and correlate them with clinical features, including treatment response, disease remission and overall survival following chemotherapy. This retrospective study will use clinical data and tissue samples from participating centers in the Lymphoma/Leukemia Molecular Profiling Project LLMPP). New patients will not be recruited for this study. Biopsy materials, including fresh frozen or OTC-embedded lymphoma biopsy material, viably frozen samples of peripheral blood cells from leukemia patients, and viably frozen samples of bone marrow aspirates from multiple myeloma patients will be collected from pathologists participating in the LLMPP. RNA and genomic DNA will be extracted from the tumor samples. A variety of technologies will be used to characterize the genome of the cancer cells, including lymphochip microarrays for array-based comparative genomic hybridization; Southern blotting and PCR for translocation of genes previously implicated in these malignancies; and PCR and DNA sequencing methods for analyzing base changes in the genome of the cancer cells. Clinical information from the initial diagnosis to disease relapse will be taken from existing databases and/or patient charts. Gene expression will be correlated with the clinical data. If a small number of genes is found to strongly predict clinical outcome, quantitative RT-PCR assays using the Taqman technology may be developed as an alternative to DNA microarray analysis.

CD19/CD22 Bicistronic Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T Cells in Children and Young Adults With Recurrent or Refractory B Cell Malignancies

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in children. About 90% of children and young adults who are treated for ALL can now be cured. But if the disease comes back, the survival rate drops to less than 50%. Better treatments are needed for ALL relapses. Objective: To test chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapy. CARs are genetically modified cells created from each patient s own blood cells. his trial will use a new type of CAR T-cell that is targeting both CD19 and CD22 at the same time. CD19 and CD22 are proteins found on the surface of most types of ALL. Eligibility: People aged 3 to 39 with ALL or related B-cell lymphoma that has not been cured by standard therapy. Design: Participants will be screened. This will include: Physical exam Blood and urine tests Tests of their lung and heart function Imaging scans Bone marrow biopsy. A large needle will be inserted into the body to draw some tissues from the interior of a bone. Lumbar puncture. A needle will be inserted into the lower back to draw fluid from the area around the spinal cord. Participants will undergo apheresis. Their blood will circulate through a machine that separates blood into different parts. The portion containing T cells will be collected; the remaining cells and fluids will be returned to the body. The T cells will be changed in a laboratory to make them better at fighting cancer cells. Participants will receive chemotherapy starting 4 or 5 days before the CAR treatment. Participants will be admitted to the hospital. Their own modified T cells will be returned to their body. Participants will visit the clinic 2 times a week for 28 days after treatment. Follow-up will continue for 15 years....

Primary Bone Mature B-Cell NHL in Children

Background:Primary bone mature B-cell lymphomas (PB-BCL) are rare in children and adolescents. Current data on their clinical presentation, management, and outcomes remain limited. The aim of the study was to describe the clinical and radiological characteristics and outcomes of pediatric patients with PB-BCL using data from a multicenter French cohort.Procedure: The team retrospectively analysed data from paediatric patients diagnosed with PB-BCL between 1998 and 2022 and treated according to national protocols (FAB LMB 96, LMB 2001, Inter-B-NHL Ritux 2010). Clinical, imaging, pathological, and therapeutic data were collected. Event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: The cohort included 21 patients, with a male predominance (62%) and a median age at diagnosis of 13 years (3-19). Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma accounted for 66.6% of cases, and Burkitt lymphoma for 28.6%. Lesions were predominantly located in the lower limbs. Multifocal bone involvement was observed in 38.1% of patients and 38.1% were classified as stage III at diagnosis. All patients have been treated with FAB/LMB chemotherapy, with 5 patients receiving Rituximab. After a median follow-up of 3.3 years (0.15 - 19.6), 5-year OS and EFS were 94.5% and 89.7%, respectively. Evaluation of remission and follow-up strategies varied between centers. Conclusions : PB-BCL in children is associated with an excellent prognosis under current treatment protocols, even in advanced-stage disease. However, standardization of remission assessment and post-treatment surveillance remains necessary. Molecular profiling may help improve the understanding of this rare entity.

Evaluation of Lymphoma Prognosis and Survivorship in Recently Diagnosed Patients, LEO Study

The goal of this infrastructure protocol is to build and maintain a large and diverse observational cohort study to support broad and cutting-edge research focused on NHL prognosis and survivorship. The LEO cohort will promote identification of clinical (including co-morbid diseases), epidemiologic (including lifestyle and other exposures), host genetic, tumor, and treatment factors that impact multiple outcomes (including event-free, overall and lymphoma-specific survival; new onset comorbidities; and patient-reported outcomes). This resource also will allow examination of the interaction among these factors in order to better understand the clinical and molecular epidemiology of outcomes in NHL. Ultimately, this approach will drive discovery and validation of treatment endpoints, improve prognostication, and identify novel approaches to improve short and long-term outcomes for NHL patients.

Study of CD30 CAR for Relapsed/Refractory CD30+ HL and CD30+ NHL

The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease. No single way seems perfect for fighting cancer. This research study combines two different ways of fighting disease: antibodies and T cells. Antibodies are proteins that protect the body from disease caused by bacteria or toxic substances. Antibodies work by binding those bacteria or substances, which stops them from growing and causing bad effects. T cells, also called T lymphocytes, are special infection-fighting blood cells that can kill other cells, including tumor cells or cells that are infected. Both antibodies and T cells have been used to treat patients with cancers. They both have shown promise, but neither alone has been sufficient to cure most patients. This study is designed to combine both T cells and antibodies to create a more effective treatment called autologous T lymphocyte chimeric antigen receptor cells targeted against the CD30 antigen (ATLCAR.CD30) administration. In previous studies, it has been shown that a new gene can be put into T cells that will increase their ability to recognize and kill cancer cells. The new gene that is put in the T cells in this study makes an antibody called anti-CD30. This antibody sticks to lymphoma cells because of a substance on the outside of the cells called CD30. Anti-CD30 antibodies have been used to treat people with lymphoma, but have not been strong enough to cure most patients. For this study, the anti-CD30 antibody has been changed so that instead of floating free in the blood it is now joined to the T cells. When an antibody is joined to a T cell in this way it is called a chimeric receptor. These CD30 chimeric (combination) receptor-activated T cells seem to kill some of the tumor, but they do not last very long in the body and so their chances of fighting the cancer are unknown. The purpose of this research study is to establish a safe dose of ATLCAR.CD30 cells to infuse after lymphodepleting chemotherapy and to estimate the number patients whose cancer does not progress for two years after ATLCAR.CD30 administration. This study will also look at other effects of ATLCAR.CD30 cells, including their effect on the patient's cancer.

A Safety Study of PF-08046045/SGN-35T in Adults With Advanced Cancers

This clinical trial is studying lymphoma. Lymphoma is a cancer that starts in the blood cells that fight infections. There are several types of lymphoma. This study will enroll people who have lymphoma, such as classical Hodgkin lymphoma, peripheral T-cell lymphoma including systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, or some types of primary cutaneous lymphoma. This clinical trial uses a drug called PF-08046045/SGN-35T. The study drug is in testing and has not been approved for sale. This is the first time PF-08046045 will be used in people. The study drug will be given as an infusion through a vein. This study will test the safety of PF-08046045 in participants with lymphoma. It will also study the side effects of this drug. A side effect is anything a drug does to the body besides treating the disease. This study will have three parts. Parts A and B of the study will find out the best dose and dosing schedule for PF-08046045. Part C will use the dose found in parts A and B to find out how safe PF-08046045 is and if it works to treat select lymphomas.
