CLINICAL TRIALS AND OBSERVATIONS Upfront immunization with autologous recombinant idiotype Fab fragment without prior cytoreduction in indolent B-cell lymphoma

Idiotype vaccination for follicular lymphoma is primarily being developed as remission consolidation after chemotherapy. We investigated idiotype vaccination as primary intervention for treatmentnaive indolent B-cell lymphoma and in a separate cohort as remission consolidation after chemotherapy to assess immunization-induced immune responses in relation to progression-free survival (German Cli...

Regular Article CLINICAL TRIALS AND OBSERVATIONS Sequential intranodal immunotherapy induces antitumor immunity and correlated regression of disseminated follicular lymphoma

Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the most common subtype of indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma and is often diagnosed in advanced stage. Although immunotherapy with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies has had a major impact on the prognosis in FL over the past 10 to 15 years, most patients eventually relapse and die of their disease. Therapeutic vaccines targeting the immunoglobulin idiotype in FL initially ...

Idiotype vaccination strategies in myeloma: how to overcome a dysfunctional immune system.

In this issue of Clinical Cancer Research , Hansson et al. vaccinated 28 patients (IgG myeloma, Salmon-Durie stages I and II) with autologous myeloma idiotype protein and assessed the effect of adding either granulocyte macrophage colonystimulating factor (GM-CSF) alone or the combination of GMCSF and interleukin 12 (IL-12) during the vaccination program (1). Idiotype-specific T-cell responses ...

CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS, INTERVENTIONS, AND THERAPEUTIC TRIALS Age-adjusted International Prognostic Index predicts autologous stem cell transplantation outcome for patients with relapsed or primary refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

Second-line chemotherapy followed by high-dose therapy (HDT) with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) cures less than half of the patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Prognostic models capable of predicting outcome are essential. In 3 sequential clinical trials, conducted from January 1993 to August 2000, we treated 150 patients with relapsed or pr...

CLINICAL TRIALS AND OBSERVATIONS The combination of bendamustine, bortezomib, and rituximab for patients with relapsed/refractory indolent and mantle cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma

Given the significant activity and tolerability of bendamustine, rituximab, and bortezomib in patients with relapsed indolent and mantle cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and laboratory studies suggesting synergistic activity, we conducted a multicenter phase 2 study of the bendamustine/ bortezomib/rituximab combination. Patients with relapsed or refractory indolent and mantle cell lymphoma with adequ...
