This phase II/III trial compares the side effects and activity of oral azacitidine in combination with the standard drug therapy (reduced dose rituximab-cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone [R-miniCHOP]) versus R-miniCHOP alone in treating patients 75 years or older with newly diagnosed diffuse large B cell lymphoma. R-miniCHOP includes a monoclonal antibody (a type of protein), called rituximab, which attaches to the lymphoma cells and may help the immune system kill these cells.

Briefly, a cell immunotherapy consisting of a patient’s autologous glioblastoma tumor cells, called ‘IGV-001’, is being tested in clinical trials. In order to advance clinical and product development of IGV-001, Imvax is seeking access to patient material to test key product parameters in a laboratory setting.
The purpose of this study is to collect blood samples for the further development of the diagnostic test Elecsys® Anti TPO II (anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody). This updated test is to aid in the diagnosis of autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto thyroiditis or Graves’ disease. In blood of patients suffering from these diseases, antibodies like anti-TPO are generally elevated. In the This study, the patient's blood sample will be analyzed with the updated Elecsys® Anti-TPO II test.
