Blood test may replace CT scans for lymphoma patients
NCT ID NCT02633111
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a blood test can spot signs of lymphoma coming back after chemotherapy, possibly earlier than regular CT scans. About 500 adults with aggressive B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma will give blood samples after treatment. The goal is to see if this test could one day replace routine scans, making follow-up care simpler and less invasive.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * 18 years of age at time of signing informed consent * Histology-confirmed aggressive B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma * De novo diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (including all subtypes such as primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma and T-cell rich B-cell lymphoma). According to the 2008 WHO Classification of Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Tumors. These would include double or triple-hit diffuse large B-cell lymphomas with MYC/BCL2 and/or BCL6 gene rearrangements. These cases may be classified as high grade B-cell lymphomas according to the 2017 revision of the WHO Classification of Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Tumors. * Recipient of frontline multi-agent chemotherapy (for example, RCHOP, dose adjusted-REPOCH, RCHOP/RICE, RCHOP+investigational agent, etc). Eligible patients will have recently received (≤ 4 months from end of treatment assessment), be actively receiving, or planned to receive frontline chemotherapy in near future (within 3 months of signing consent). A frontline therapy program can include different sequential phases of treatment, including high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation. * Required pre-treatment test specimen from bone marrow, blood, lymph node, or alternate site to identify tumor-specific clonotype. * Ability to adhere to the study visit schedule and all the protocol requirements, including surveillance imaging and MRD test specimen collection at specified time points. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients receiving 2nd or greater line of therapy. * Stage I or II disease. * Primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma. * Transformation from antecedent or coincident indolent B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
