Sponsor: Massachusetts General Hospital
Conditions: Follicular Lymphoma, Marginal Zone Lymphoma, Mantle Cell Lymphoma, Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma, Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma
Interventions: Clofarabine
Countries: United States
Oral clofarabine is related to two intravenous chemotherapy drugs used for this disease and works in two different ways. It affects the development of new cancer cells by blocking two enzymes that cancer cells need to reproduce. When these enzymes are blocked, the cancer call can no longer prepare the DNA needed to make new cells. Clofarabine also encourages existing cancer cells to die by disturbing components within the cancer cell. This causes the release of a substance that is fatal to the cell. This trial studies the efficacy of oral clofarabine in the treatment of relapsed non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
