Summary

Background:

B-cell lymphoma is a cancer of white blood cells that are found in lymph nodes. Some kinds of these cancers, such as gray-zone and extra-nodal, are rare and often aggressive. They are usually resistant to current treatments. Researchers want to see if a drug called pembrolizumab may treat these types of lymphoma.

Objective:

To collect data to see if it may be effective to give pembrolizumab to people with certain types of rare, aggressive B-cell lymphomas.

Eligibility:

People ages 18 and older who have a B-cell lymphoma, including gray-zone lymphoma or extra-nodal lymphoma

Design:

Participants will be screened with:

Medical history

Physical exam

Blood and urine tests

Scans. They will lie in a machine that takes images.

A tissue sample from a previous procedure will be tested.

The study will be done in 21-day cycles. During the study, participants:

Will repeat the screening tests.

Will get the study drug as an infusion into a vein over about 30 minutes.

Will have a cheek swab and/or saliva sample collected.

May have a bone marrow aspiration. A needle will be put into the hipbone, and a small amount of bone marrow will be taken out.

May have a lumbar puncture. If cerebrospinal fluid is collected, researchers will study it.

May have an eye exam.

May provide tissue samples.

May have tumor samples taken.

Participants will have a visit about 30 days after the last dose of the study drug. They will then have 4 visits in year 1, 2 visits a year in years 2-5, and once each year thereafter. They will also be contacted by phone.
