DLBCL Interim Response Evaluation for Customised Therapy

Recruiting
Conditions
High-grade B-cell Lymphoma
Registration Number
NCT04226937
Lead Sponsor
Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Brief Summary

The aim of the DIRECT Study is to establish a robust pipeline to identify those patients with high-grade B cell lymphoma most suitable for novel agent clinical trials based upon genomic subtype and an integrated response evaluation determined early in first-line therapy.

Detailed Description

This will be done by integrating data and samples collected from patients undergoing standard of care treatment for high-grade B cell lymphoma

Data will be integrated from

1. Clinical risk factors from the International Prognostic Index (IPI)

2. Up-front genomic subtype based on molecular profiling of diagnostic biopsy

3. Serial ctDNA monitoring during treatment.

4. Radiological response imaging

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Successful identification of trackable mutations in collected samples. Feasibility will be met if more than 75% of the samples yield trackable mutations across the whole study.3-5 years
Establish a robust molecular monitoring pipeline.3-5 years
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Assess the utility of integrated data from clinical risk factors (IPI), up-front genotype, serial ctDNA response and radiological assessment (CT or PET-CT).3-5 years
Assess the utility of serial ctDNA assessment as a predicator of clinical outcome in high-grade B cell lymphoma.5 years
When the pipeline is optimised can these 4 parameters be available within 6 weeks, i.e. by completion of Cycle 2.3-5 years

1. Clinical risk factors from the International Prognostic Index (IPI)

2. Up-front genomic subtype based on molecular profiling of diagnostic biopsy

3. Serial ctDNA monitoring during treatment.

4. Radiological response imaging
