Can a Tumor's DNA reveal the best lymphoma treatment?
NCT ID NCT07829445
First seen Sep 21, 2026 · Last updated Sep 21, 2026
Summary
Researchers at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center are testing whether comprehensive genomic sequencing can identify specific subtypes of large B-cell lymphoma and provide information that may help guide treatment decisions. The trial enrolls about 60 adults with stage 3 or 4 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or high-grade B-cell lymphoma who are eligible for standard full-dose chemotherapy. Participants provide a biopsy sample for a genomic test, and researchers track safety and adverse events.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- comprehensive genomic sequencing of tumor samples
- What this could lead to
- If it works, doctors could use a tumor's genetic profile to pick more targeted first-line treatment for aggressive B-cell lymphoma.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is small and only tests whether sequencing can classify tumors, not whether that changes outcomes. Genomic results may not translate into better treatment choices.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Eligibility Criteria * Age ≥18y * Pathology-confirmed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified or high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBL) who are eligible for standard-of-care, full-dose 6 cycles of anthracycline-based treatment * Stage 3 or 4 disease by Lugano Criteria * Available biopsy sample for BostonGene Tumor Portrait™ test ( for sample preparation) Exclusion Criteria * Known central nervous system (CNS) disease (cases concerning for CNS involvement should be evaluated with MRI and lumbar puncture) * Any baseline characteristics that in the opinion of the treating physician would preclude patients from receiving standard-of-care anthracycline-based treatment * Participation (or planning to participate) in any therapeutic clinical trials for lymphoma during the planned treatment course. Note, patients who become eligible for other studies based on inadequate response, toxicity to therapy, or other reasons that arise after the initiation of standard therapy on this study are permitted to pursue those alternative trials as appropriate. Participation in other non-therapeutic and/or observational studies are permitted.
