Minimal Residual Disease in Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma

Completed
Conditions
Peripheral T Cell Lymphoma
Registration Number
NCT03297697
Lead Sponsor
Washington University School of Medicine
Brief Summary

As T-cell receptor sequencing by LymphoTrack is an assay with high sensitivity that can be performed in peripheral blood, the investigators wish to evaluate the ability of this assay to predict which patients are at higher risk of relapse after initial therapy for peripheral T-cell lymphomas which is being given for curative intent. Additionally, as more is known about the ability of dynamic monitoring of cfDNA in B-cell lymphomas to predict relapse, the investigators wish to explore the use of this technology in T-cell lymphomas.

Recruitment & Eligibility

Status
COMPLETED
Sex
All
Target Recruitment
44
Inclusion Criteria
  • At least 18 years of age.

  • Histologically-confirmed peripheral T-cell lymphoma being treated with curative intent. Eligible histologies include, but are not limited to: peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified; angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma; anaplastic large cell lymphoma, ALK negative; and anaplastic large cell lymphoma, ALK positive.

  • Plan for treatment with frontline multi-agent anthracycline containing chemotherapy for curative intent (for example, CHOP, CHOEP, EPOCH). A frontline therapy program can include different sequential phases of treatment, including high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation.

  • Availability of pre-treatment test specimen from bone marrow, blood, lymph node, or alternate site to identify tumor-specific clonotype, or willingness to undergo biopsy if sufficient tissue is not available at time of enrollment (e.g. 15 slides from fixed formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tumor tissue

    *Patients who have less than 15 slides of fixed formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tumor tissue may be considered for enrollment after discussion with the study principal investigator

  • Able to understand and willing to sign an IRB approved written informed consent document.

Exclusion Criteria
  • Receiving second line of therapy or greater.
  • Diagnosis of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, extranodal NK-cell lymphoma, acute T-cell lymphoma/leukemia, hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma.
