Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma"

Evaluation of immunological reconstitution after haploidentical BMT using a nonmyeloablative preparative regimen and post-transplant cyclophosphamide in patients with poor prognosis lymphoma

The purpose of this study is to determine the predictive value of a model of Nomogram Prognostic Index (NPI) in patients with Diffuse Large B cell lymphoma.

Lymphoid chronic B-cell malignancies are frequent pathologies that affect adults, with a very variable prognosis and treatment (some of them can remain untreated). The diagnosis of these malignancies relies on the study of the morphology of tumoral cells and the expression by these cells of several markers, mainly via a technical approach called flow cytometry. Because the markers currently used remain imperfect, additional ones are needed for an accurate diagnosis that affect both prognosis and treatment. In addition, because numerous markers are used at the diagnosis, there is a need of tools that synthetize the multi-dimensional structure of the data obtained. The primary purpose of this study is to detect new markers that can be of help for the diagnosis of Marginal Zone Lymphoma and other B-cell chronic lymphoid malignancies. The secondary purpose of this study is to obtain a statistical algorithm that allow a good prediction of the different sub-types of chronic B-cell malignancies mainly using the results of flow cytometry.

The Gruppo Italiano Studio Linfomi has been collecting data on patients with Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) since 1988. This archive represents a homogeneous series of consecutive patients with HL. The very long follow up and the availability of clinical and treatment data make it feasible to perform a study on the gonadal toxicity related to treatment for HL.

The purpose of this study is to determine the predictive value of a mRNA signature and liquid biopsy in patients with Diffuse Large B cell lymphoma.

This is a non-interventional, Phase 4 study designed to improve understanding of current clinical practice in the treatment of CLL/SLL and to describe treatment pattern and evaluate outcomes of ibrutinib-treated CLL patients in China. This study will include both retrospective and prospective data collection.

Central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) entity with a particularly poor prognosis (median survival less than 3 years). They are still poorly characterized biologically, largely because of their rarity (300 cases / year in France) and the difficulty for obtaining a material of sufficient quality and quantity. It is nevertheless assumed that their pathophysiology is particular, since they develop exclusively in an immunological sanctuary, and that they present some characteristic molecular abnormalities (mutation of MYD88 or TBL1XR1 for example). A collection of 74 PCNSLs has created, clinically annotated, from which frozen material is available in addition to the material fixed and included in paraffin (cohort ALYCE). Informed consent was gathered for all patients. Comparative Genomic Hybridization-array analysis of this cohort has already revealed abnormalities associated with a poor prognosis (unpublished data). The objective of this study is to complete this analysis by sequencing a panel of 96 mutant genes recurrently in DLBCLs and PCNSLs, and the molecular determination of the original cell by the (RT-MLPA) Reverse Transcriptase-Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification technique. The integration of genetic, molecular and transcriptomic data may define prognostic markers and open perspectives for translational research in PCNSL.

The study's chief objective is to observe the evolution of cellular (in terms of expression of transmembrane transporters and their transcriptional regulators) and viral resistance (in terms of development of mutations in the HIV genome that may confer resistance to future treatment for HIV) in HIV-infected patients with lymphoma.

The purpose of this study is to differentiate Kikuchi's disease and malignant lymphoma by soft tissue ultrasound.

According to the most recent guidelines, total-body imaging techniques are an indispensable element in the staging and post-treatment re-evaluation in patients with lymphoma. Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) is the gold-standard for the assessment of the disease in these patients. The use of alternative methods, without radiation, such as whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), could be a valid alternative; this would result an advantage, considering the young age of the majority of patients at diagnosis and the need to undergo to serial assessments. The recent introduction of combined PET total body MRI (PET/MRI) offers the possibility to integrate morphological information with the high resolution of MRI with the metabolic activity of PET, through the uptake of FDG, for a more accurate definition of the extent of disease in patients with lymphoma.
