Gene study reveals why some lymphoma patients clear chemo slower
NCT ID NCT06031194
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study examined how genetic variations influence the body's ability to clear high-dose methotrexate in 20 adults with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or central nervous system lymphoma. Researchers looked for specific gene changes linked to slower drug removal. The goal was to better understand drug metabolism, not to provide a new treatment.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * \* Adult (age ≥ 18 years at diagnosis) * Diagnosis of DLBCL or PCNSL * Planned to undergo treatment with HDMTX (≥ 3 g/m\^2) at the James Cancer Hospital. Note: patients with CKD are eligible to participate regardless of eGFR provided the treating physician is planning a dose of HDMTX of at least 3 g/ m\^2. * Ability to provide informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * \* 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), lactating or breast feeding * Prisoners or incarcerated patients * Total bilirubin \> 5 mg/dL
