Nanochip could spot lymphoma relapse early
NCT ID NCT03656835
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This pilot study is testing a nanochip (ILN biochip) to see if it can monitor how well treatment is working and detect relapse in people with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. About 73 patients will provide blood samples for the chip to analyze genetic markers. The goal is to find out if this technology can predict treatment outcomes and catch a return of the cancer sooner than standard methods.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- nanochip technology (ILN biochip)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this nanochip could help doctors track how well lymphoma treatment is working and catch a relapse earlier than current methods.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 73 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The technology is still experimental and needs much more testing before it could be used in clinics.

Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically confirmed treatment naive DLBCL. Subtypes including high grade B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (NOS) and de-novo DLBCL including germinal center B-cell type (GCB) and non-GCB subtypes. * Intent to receive entire care (treatment and follow-up) at Ohio State University (OSU). * Receiving treatment with curative intent. * Receiving planned 6 cycles of chemotherapy. * Ability to consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Transformed lymphomas. * DLBCL with leukemic presentation. * Primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma. * Participating in other clinical trial/ receiving experimental therapy. * Patients with a "currently active" second malignancy that, in the opinion of the principal investigator, will interfere with patient participation, or confound data interpretation. * Pregnancy (positive serum or urine pregnancy test) or breast feeding.
