Clinical Trials

Every treatment that has ever made a difference in cancer care was once a part of a clinical trial. MUSC Hollings Cancer Center is committed to offering the best treatments available today while searching for even better ones for the future. Ask your doctor if a clinical trial is right for you.

 

Lymphoma Trials

 

  • STUDY12184

    A Randomized Phase III Trial of Consolidation with Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Followed by Maintenance Rituximab vs. Maintenance Rituximab Alone for Patients with Mantle Cell Lymphoma In Minimal Residual Disease Negative First Complete Remission

    This randomized phase III trial studies rituximab after stem cell transplant and to see how well it works compared with rituximab alone in treating patients with in minimal residual disease-negative mantle cell lymphoma in first complete remission. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant helps kill any cancer cells that are in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. After treatment, stem cells are collected from the patient's blood and stored. More chemotherapy is then given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy. Giving rituximab with or without stem cell transplant may work better in treating patients with mantle cell lymphoma.

  • STUDY13524

    A randomized trial of low versus moderate exposure busulfan for infants with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) receiving TCRaß+/CD19+ depleted transplantation: A Phase II study by the Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium (PIDTC) and Pediatric Transplantation & Cellular Therapy Consortium (PTCTC) PIDTC \"CSIDE\" Protocol (Conditioning SCID Infants Diagnosed Early) PTCTC NMD 1801

    The investigators want to study if lower doses of chemotherapy will help babies with SCID to achieve good immunity with less short and long-term risks of complications after transplantation. This trial identifies babies with types of immune deficiencies that are most likely to succeed with this approach and offers them transplant early in life before they get severe infections or later if their infections are under control. It includes only patients receiving unrelated or mismatched related donor transplants.

  • STUDY13823

    A Phase 3 Trial Investigating Blinatumomab ( NSC# 765986) in Combination With Chemotherapy in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Standard Risk or Down Syndrome B Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B ALL) and the Treatment of Patients With Localized B Lymphoblastic Lymphoma (B LLy)

    This phase III trial studies how well blinatumomab works in combination with chemotherapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed, standard risk B-lymphoblastic leukemia or B-lymphoblastic lymphoma with or without Down syndrome. Monoclonal antibodies, such as blinatumomab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread.

  • STUDY16060

    A multicenter safety study of unlicensed, investigational cryopreserved cord blood units (CBUs) manufactured by the National Cord Blood Program (NCBP) and provided for unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplantation of pediatric and adult patients

    The primary aim of this study is to examine the safety of administration of the unlicensed investigational NCBP HPC-CORD BLOOD products in a multi-institution setting. Therefore, the study will evaluate prospectively the incidence of serious adverse reactions as well as the incidence of all infusion related reactions after administration of the unlicensed, investigational NCBP CBU.

  • STUDY17172

    A Phase 3 Randomized Study of Loncastuximab Tesirine Combined with Rituximab Versus Immunochemotherapy in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL)

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of loncastuximab tesirine (ADCT-402) combined with rituximab compared to standard immunochemotherapy.
