Paclitaxel and Estramustine in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Clinical Trials Info presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't intended to be a substitute for qualified medical advice, visits or professional assistance by using a real mD. We are not docs. Always confer with your physician about Paclitaxel and Estramustine in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website committed to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Paclitaxel and Estramustine in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Clinical research trials and Paclitaxel and Estramustine in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma health trials occur in many of cities throughout the US. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally evaluate the effectivity of new does drugs. The intent of the studies / undertakings is to resolve particular human health questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for physicians, government agencies, and private sector companies to detect remedies for all sorts of conditions, including Paclitaxel and Estramustine in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Paclitaxel and Estramustine in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Clinical Trials and other clinical trials permit volunteers to obtain healthcare treatment alternatives before they are available to the masses. Most times the participants undergo professional assistance for without cost, and occasionally they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Paclitaxel and Estramustine in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma clinical trial. Test subjects typically receive the most expert healthcare available for their Paclitaxel and Estramustine in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma condition. Dangers are a reality, however, and may include more or frequent mD visits, healthcare dangers (perhaps life-endangering), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally regulated with rigid guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Paclitaxel and Estramustine in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma



Paclitaxel and Estramustine in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

For Condition: recurrent mantle cell lymphoma,recurrent grade I follicular small cleaved cell lymphoma,recurrent adult diffuse large cell lymphoma,recurrent adult diffuse mixed cell lymphoma,recurrent adult immunoblastic large cell lymphoma,recurrent adult diffuse small cleaved cell lymphoma,recurrent grade II follicular mixed cell lymphoma,recurrent diffuse small lymphocytic/marginal zone lymphoma,recurrent grade III follicular large cell lymphoma,recurrent adult diffuse small noncleaved cell/Burkitt's lymphoma,recurrent adult lymphoblastic lymphoma

Synopsis: RATIONALE: 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. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining paclitaxel and estramustine in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Details: OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the response rate, time to treatment failure, and overall survival of patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with paclitaxel and estramustine. II. Determine the toxicity of this regimen in this patient population. PROTOCOL OUTLINE: Patients receive oral estramustine 2-3 times daily on days 1-3 and paclitaxel IV over 1 hour on day 2 on weeks 1-6. Treatment repeats every 8 weeks for at least 1 course in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving a complete or partial response continue therapy for at least 3 courses or for 1 course after achieving maximum response. Patients are followed every 3 months. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 18-35 patients will be accrued for this study.

Protocol Entry Criteria: PROTOCOL ENTRY CRITERIA: --Disease Characteristics-- - Histologically confirmed relapsed or refractory intermediate, high-grade, or transformed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; Received 1-3 prior treatment regimens (cytoreductive chemotherapy followed by high-dose therapy with stem cell support considered 1 regimen) - Measurable disease [A new classification scheme for adult non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has been adopted by PDQ. The terminology of "indolent" or "aggressive" lymphoma will replace the terminology of "low", "intermediate", or "high" grade lymphoma. However, this protocol uses the former terminology.] --Prior/Concurrent Therapy-- - Biologic therapy: See Disease Characteristics - Chemotherapy: See Disease Characteristics; At least 4 weeks since prior chemotherapy and recovered; No prior paclitaxel, docetaxel, or estramustine - Endocrine therapy: Not specified - Radiotherapy: At least 4 weeks since prior radiotherapy and recovered - Surgery: Not specified --Patient Characteristics-- - Age: Over 18 - Performance status: ECOG 0-2 - Life expectancy: At least 12 weeks - Hematopoietic: Granulocyte count greater than 1,500/mm3*; Platelet count greater than 75,000/mm3* * Unless due to lymphomatous marrow involvement - Hepatic: Bilirubin less than 1.5 mg/dL*; SGOT/SGPT less than 2 times normal* * Unless due to lymphomatous involvement - Renal: Creatinine less than 2.0 mg/dL* OR Creatinine clearance greater than 50 mL/min* * Unless due to lymphomatous involvement - Cardiovascular: No active uncontrolled angina pectoris; No New York Heart Association class II-IV heart disease; No myocardial infarction within the past 6 months; No history of recurrent deep venous thrombosis not associated with catheter placement - Other: No other prior malignancy within the past 5 years except curatively treated cervical cancer or basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer; No serious concurrent medical illness that would preclude study; No active infection
