Obatoclax Mesylate, Rituximab, and Bendamustine Hydrochloride in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Withdrawn before enrolling · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: Extranodal Marginal Zone B-cell Lymphoma of Mucosa-associated Lymphoid Tissue, Nodal Marginal Zone B-cell Lymphoma, Recurrent Grade 1 Follicular Lymphoma, Recurrent Grade 2 Follicular Lymphoma, Recurrent Mantle Cell Lymphoma, Recurrent Marginal Zone Lymphoma, Splenic Marginal Zone Lymphoma

In brief

This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and the best dose of obatoclax mesylate when given together with rituximab and bendamustine hydrochloride to see how well it works compared with rituximab and bendamustine hydrochloride alone in treating patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Obatoclax mesylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the proteins needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Others interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bendamustine hydrochloride, also work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving obatoclax mesylate together with rituximab and bendamustine hydrochloride may kill more cancer cells
