PET scans may sharpen staging for rare lymphoma
NCT ID NCT04600804
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study examined whether PET scans can help doctors better stage mantle cell lymphoma and predict how patients will fare, compared to standard CT scans and bone marrow biopsies. Researchers analyzed data from 200 patients who had already completed a clinical trial. The goal was to see if PET results could improve prognostic models and guide future studies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better ways to stage mantle cell lymphoma and predict patient outcomes, potentially improving future treatment planning.
- What could go wrong
- This is a retrospective imaging study, not a treatment trial. It only looks at existing data, so it cannot prove that using PET scans improves patient survival or outcomes.

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
A total of 300 patients have been enrolled in the MCL0208 trial. We expect to analyze the PETs, clinical and biological data of about 200 patients enrolled in the MCL0208 trial who performed the PET exams within the clinical trial and who consent to the present study: all PETs available at each center participating in this study will be collected and analyzed.
